What happens when a medium gets involved in a real criminal investigation? Forensic psychic and medium Nichole Duncan takes us inside her unusual work with missing-person and murder cases—describing how she remote-views crime scenes, reconstructs events she never witnessed, and receives information from victims themselves. Some of the stories are remarkable: details later confirmed, a missing woman Nichole believes showed her where her body could be found, and a murder victim who told her the accused killer would confess—only for Nichole to receive a message the next morning that she had pleaded guilty. It’s a fascinating departure for Life With Ghosts—where mediumship meets true crime. Guest Website: https://www.nicholeduncanintuitive.com/ Visit us at LifeWithGhosts.com

What if mediumship isn’t a gift reserved for a chosen few—but something you can actually learn? Renowned medium Marie Manuchehri believes our ability to connect with those who have died is far more natural than most of us realize. In this conversation, Marie and Stephen Berkley explore how we learn to recognize those subtle communications, why we so often dismiss them, and what changes when we begin to trust what we’re receiving. If you’ve ever wondered whether you might be capable of mediumship yourself, this conversation will change the way you think about it.

Duncan Hsu never grew up seeing spirits and never imagined becoming a medium. He had a regular career, wasn't particularly spiritual, and approached mediumship with plenty of skepticism. Then, in 2020, the sudden death of his partner Thomas changed everything. After a reading that Duncan describes as life-changing, he began wondering whether communicating with those who have died was something he might actually learn to do himself. What followed was years of practice, doubt, mistakes, development—and eventually, becoming an evidential medium himself. In this unusually candid conversation, Duncan and Stephen talk about what it actually takes to develop mediumship, whether everyone has the ability, why overthinking can get in the way, what happens when your abilities seem to disappear, and why becoming a better medium may be inseparable from becoming a better version of yourself. Duncan's approach is refreshingly unassuming. He isn't interested in fame or making grand claims. As he puts it, he simply wants to “do good work”—using evidence, compassion and trust to help people experience the possibility that those they love may still be very much with them. His bio similarly emphasizes compassion, trust and empathy as central to his work.  Visit us at LifeWithGhosts.com

For many people, the hardest part of exploring mediumship isn't finding a medium—it's knowing who to trust. In this episode of Life With Ghosts—Let's Chat!, Stephen welcomes Sally Hawk, founder of VerySoul, whose unexpected journey from the executive suites of corporate America to the world of mediumship was sparked by a profound personal experience following the death of her mother-in-law. That experience led Sally to ask a question that few people were addressing: How can ordinary people confidently identify ethical, credible, and skilled mediums? Her search for an answer became the foundation of VerySoul, a global community dedicated to bringing trust, integrity, and excellence to the practice of mediumship. Stephen and Sally explore her remarkable story, the importance of standards in mediumship, what makes a medium trustworthy, and why knowing our loved ones continue can profoundly change the way we live. Whether you're skeptical, curious, or deeply involved in spiritual practice, this conversation offers thoughtful insights into one of the most important questions anyone seeking a medium can ask: Which medium should I trust?

In this episode of Life With Ghosts—Let's Chat!, Stephen welcomes Nisha Bowman, LSW, a Death Care Advocate who is helping to reshape the way we think about dying, caregiving, and end-of-life support. Drawing on her professional experience and personal insights, Nisha challenges many of the assumptions our culture holds about death. She argues that much of the suffering surrounding the end of life is not inevitable, but stems from systems and beliefs that leave individuals and families feeling isolated and unprepared. Together, Stephen and Nisha explore the importance of community, the realities of caregiving, and what it means to create a more compassionate and dignified approach to death and dying. The conversation offers a thoughtful look at how changing our relationship with death can ultimately change the way we live. A powerful discussion about mortality, connection, and caring for one another when it matters most.

For more than 40 years, Robert Waggoner has explored one of the most mysterious frontiers of human experience: lucid dreaming. In this fascinating conversation, Robert explains how people can become conscious while dreaming, what happens when dream figures begin responding intelligently, and why some encounters with deceased loved ones feel profoundly different from ordinary dreams. We discuss visitation dreams, dream figures, pets in dreams, evidential experiences, and the surprising question at the heart of Robert's work: What if lucid dreaming isn't simply about controlling dreams—but learning from them? Whether you're curious about consciousness, grief, after-death communication, or the hidden possibilities of the dream state, this conversation offers a thought-provoking glimpse into a world most of us spend a third of our lives visiting.

In this episode of Life With Ghosts, we sit down with Christian Sundberg—an Author whose work centers on something most people dismiss outright: detailed, sustained memories from before physical birth. What makes Christian different isn’t just the claim—it’s the clarity. He doesn’t speak in abstractions or vague spiritual language. He describes a state of awareness prior to incarnation with structure, coherence, and emotional precision. A sense of identity without a body. A continuity of consciousness that doesn’t begin at birth—and doesn’t end at death. In this conversation, Christian walks us through: What it felt like to exist before entering a bodyWhy we choose to come here at allHow memory is filtered—and why most of us forgetThe contrast between that state and the human experienceAnd what it means for grief, loss, and the people we love__________________________________________________________________________ Guest's website: https://awalkinthephysical.com/ To watch the Q&A,  visit www.LifeWithGhosts.com ("Podcast tab") Visit us at LifeWithGhosts.com

In this wide-ranging and candid conversation, Angela Ford discusses her experience as a psychic and remote viewer, including her time working with the U.S. government in that capacity. Rather than framing these abilities as something mystical or separate, Angela describes remote viewing, mediumship, and psychic perception as variations of the same underlying faculty—ESP. She walks through how this ability developed for her, what it actually feels like in practice, and how information comes through in real time. The conversation moves beyond surface-level curiosity into the discipline, responsibility, and psychological reality of doing this kind of work—especially in structured environments where accuracy matters. It’s a revealing look at a controversial field, grounded in personal experience rather than theory, and one that invites both curiosity and careful consideration.

Content note: This conversation includes discussion of childhood sexual abuse. Listener discretion is advised. Psychotherapist Robert Falconer joins Life With Ghosts to explore one of the most intriguing questions in modern psychology: are all the voices and “parts” within us truly our own? Working within the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, Falconer spent decades helping clients work with protective, wounded, and coping parts of the psyche. But over time, he began encountering experiences that didn’t behave like ordinary parts. They appeared “other.” If you’ve ever wondered whether certain inner experiences are **purely psychological — or something more — this conversation will challenge how you see the mind. - Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/59zZqFqk39s - Watch Q&A for this episode: https://youtu.be/XwVPFhTU50k - Website for Bob Falconer: https://robertfalconer.us/ - For more information about LIFE WITH GHOSTS, visit https://www.LifeWithGhosts.com/ Visit us at LifeWithGhosts.com

In this unforgettable episode of Life With Ghosts, renowned British trance medium Elaine Thorpe enters deep trance to bring through her Victorian spirit guide, Jonathan Hunter. Together, we explore what the afterlife is really like: multiple reality systems beyond the physical, thought-created environments, the freedom from earthly limitation, and the profound concept of “blending of souls” — a love far deeper than anything we experience here. If you’ve ever wondered what awaits us beyond the veil… this conversation offers clarity, comfort, and a radically expanded view of consciousness itself. This is not theory. It’s a glimpse into what awaits us. - Contact Email for Elaine: [email protected] - Website: https://www.elainethorpe.com/ - For more information about LIFE WITH GHOSTS, visit https://www.LifeWithGhosts.com/ Visit us at LifeWithGhosts.com
