Here she describes her participant-observer work over several years that involved attending dozens of paranormal investigations. She points to the importance of paranormal tv shows in creating a substantial popular movement. She discusses the motivations of paranormal team members and the meaningful interactions she has had with them. She shares a powerful experience of synchronicity and describes a demonological intervention known as “deliverance”.
