In this episode of Beer, Boos & Boogeymen, we delved into the profound topic of encounters with loved ones who have passed. The significance of this episode stems from the deep, emotional impact these experiences have on so many of us, as evidenced by our poll revealing that more than half of the US population claims to have had meaningful contact with a loved one who has passed away.

We take a live call from a full-spectrum doula who works in birth, postpartum, death, and spirituality. The caller shared her invaluable experience of connecting with those who have passed on. Gil mentioned a poll about contact with deceased loved ones, noting the compelling statistical follow-up with respondents.
Listeners were moved by the heartfelt story of a caller’s dog, who accompanied her on numerous adventures and maintained a deep, non-verbal connection with her. The poignant narrative of the dog’s passing, coinciding with the traditional Mexican celebration of La Guadalupana, brought to light themes of sacrifice and liberation as the caller embarked on a new life phase.
Another captivating moment was when a caller recounted a light turning on at a significant moment, sparking discussions about belief systems and paranormal encounters. This segued into our own experiences with paranormal activities and plans for an upcoming paranormal investigation segment. We explored how the methods of communication from the deceased might differ based on individual receptiveness.
The episode also highlighted experiences with mediums and psychic readings, with Damion sharing his and his wife’s validating experiences. Joey expressed an interest in listeners’ encounters with mediums, underscoring the mixed feelings of belief and skepticism about psychic abilities.
Our callers shared stories of deep connections with nonhuman companions, displaying the ability to communicate empathetically and non-verbally with animals. A particularly resonant story from Andrea, a spectrum doula, touched on the profound and spiritual nature of caring for both the living and the deceased.
The significance of dedicated roles like death doulas was underscored, criticising how Western society, especially American culture, approaches death and grieving. We were grateful for Andrea’s contributions and emphasized our commitment to assisting her in expanding her digital presence.
The episode concluded with an engaging discussion about our upcoming interactive segment, “Truth or Trash,” inspired by Art Bell’s Coast to Coast, where callers will share stories for the audience to vote on their truthfulness. We shared personal dream stories involving deceased loved ones, reflecting on their emotional impact and significance.
Throughout this episode, we encouraged listeners to call in and share their profound experiences, aiming to provide a healing and affirming space for those impacted by the loss of loved ones. The shared stories not only fostered a sense of community but also highlighted the pervasive and deeply personal nature of afterlife communications. As always, we ended with a toast and farewells, reinforcing the importance of connection and shared experiences in our unique journey through the paranormal.
