Ghost Hunting, EVPs, and Paranormal Evidence with Liminal Shadows Paranormal
In this episode of Dairyland Frights, host John welcomes paranormal investigators Rachel and Keith from Liminal Shadows to explore the fascinating world of ghost hunting, EVP recordings, haunted locations, and paranormal investigation techniques. The couple shares their experiences investigating some of the most active haunted sites in the United States and explains how their investigative dynamic works, with Rachel approaching the paranormal as a believer while Keith brings a healthy dose of skepticism.
Liminal Shadows with Rachel. Together they discuss the evidence they've captured during investigations, including disembodied voices, unexplained whistles, mysterious EVPs, and strange activity caught on multiple recording devices. The investigators explain how reviewing audio evidence after an investigation often reveals voices or sounds that were not heard in the moment, making EVP recordings one of the most compelling forms of paranormal evidence.
Rachel and Keith also share stories from haunted locations, including Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary, Waverly Hills Sanatorium, and historic sites in Tennessee, where investigators have experienced strange energy, unexplained sounds, and even physical sensations believed to be paranormal encounters.
Throughout the conversation, they dive deep into ghost hunting equipment, discussing tools like EMF detectors, audio recorders, SLS cameras, and one of their favorite pieces of equipmen the “dead bell,” a modified hotel bell that responds to electromagnetic energy and may allow spirits to communicate through physical interaction.
The discussion also explores theories behind paranormal phenomena, including stone tape theory, environmental energy from storms or limestone structures, and whether spirits are residual echoes of past events or intelligent entities capable of communication.
To wrap up the episode, the investigators join John for a fun Paranormal Newlywed Game, where the couple answers questions about investigating together, surviving a zombie apocalypse, and what happens when ghost hunts get a little too serious—or a little too funny.
Whether you're a seasoned paranormal investigator or just curious about ghosts and haunted places, this episode offers a fascinating look at real ghost hunting experiences, paranormal research, and the mysteries that continue to haunt investigators across the Midwest and beyond.

In this deep and thought-provoking episode of Dairyland Frights, host John welcomes back returning guest Aurorah of Blood Moon Milk Astrology for a wide-ranging conversation that blends astrology, mindfulness, gratitude, and real-world personal growth.
Aurora goes far beyond daily horoscopes, breaking down how astrology can be used as a tool for empowerment, not a substitute for personal responsibility. Together, John and Aurorah explore how cosmic timing, lunar cycles, and planetary transits can help people better understand relationships, career challenges, money stress, and major life turning points while still emphasizing action, accountability, and growth.
This episode also dives into deeply human territory, touching on heartbreak, Saturn returns, identity shifts, healing through gratitude, and how difficult moments can become transformative chapters rather than endings.
✨ Episode Highlights
What astrology can and cannot do for your life
Why newspaper horoscopes aren’t meant for major life decisions
Understanding Sun signs vs. Moon signs (and why both matter)
Saturn returns and why your late 20s/early 30s often feel brutal
Using lunar cycles for manifestation, mindfulness, and goal-setting
How gratitude can be felt physically and why that matters

Why astrology should support free will, not override it
Reading your own chart—and why outside perspective still matters
Real stories where astrology aligned with major life events
🌌 Key Themes
This episode isn’t about predicting doom or blindly following the stars—it’s about alignment. Aurora explains how astrology works best when paired with self-reflection, therapy, meditation, and real-world effort. The stars may set the weather, but you still choose how to walk through it.
Listeners interested in spirituality, personal growth, astrology, or navigating life transitions will find this conversation both grounding and expansive.
