Guest host Rich Berra (email) was joined by crime scene investigator Paul Rimmasch who shared intriguing observations about paranormal experiences in law enforcement. One account involved a colleague, Mitch, who unknowingly brought a ghost home from a crime scene. Mitch, a CSI investigator, experienced electrical anomalies and observed his dog, Dude, behaving strangely—tracking invisible entities and reacting aggressively to an upstairs toilet. According to Rimmasch, a turning point occurred when a date, who was intuitive, confirmed the presence of a spirit in Mitch's house, identifying it as the young woman from the crime scene he had investigated. Mitch eventually accepted the presence, and though unsettling, it became a unique aspect of his life until he moved away.
Another story centered on Dexter, an extraordinary service dog who transformed the life of Mark, a retired police officer struggling with PTSD and severe night terrors. Initially abandoned, Dexter was trained as a service dog and instinctively began waking Mark during his nightmares, despite being told it was impossible to train dogs for such tasks. Mark realized that Dexter's interventions coincided with his distressing dreams, Rimmasch reported. This realization not only helped Mark manage his PTSD without medication but also reinforced the profound bond between them.
Rimmasch also commented on evidence rooms, which he revealed seem to attract unusual activity despite not being crime scenes themselves. He explained that once evidence from serious crimes, such as homicides, is brought into these rooms, strange phenomena sometimes begin to occur. These include unexplained noises, odd feelings, or other anomalies that people working in the evidence rooms have reported. Rimmasch suggested that these experiences might be tied to the energy or emotional weight of the items stored there, particularly those connected to traumatic events.

Next, psychic medium Ericka Boussarhane shared a deeply personal journey, highlighting the hereditary nature of her psychic abilities and how a kidney transplant amplified her sensitivities. She explained the concept of cellular memory, suggesting that organ transplants might transfer emotional memories and traits from donor to recipient, which could enhance abilities like hers. She also reflected on how specific organs, like the heart, may carry more emotional weight, citing scientific and anecdotal research.
Boussarhane discussed her approach to psychic abilities, emphasizing the role of the "Clairs"—clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, and more—as ways to perceive messages from loved ones or spiritual energies. She encouraged listeners to explore their latent psychic abilities through meditation, divination tools, and belief in their potential to connect with loved ones. She also touched on how memories and sensory triggers, like smells or vivid dreams, can serve as bridges to the spirit world, bringing comfort and peace.
Boussarhane addressed the challenges of being a psychic in a religious context, explaining how her strong faith integrates with her work. She spoke about using her abilities for healing and forensic purposes, assisting law enforcement, and helping individuals gain closure. She stressed the importance of humility and serving others rather than seeking personal gain. Boussarhane also gave psychic readings to callers.
