What Real Paranormal Investigation Actually Looks Like with Steve Gonsalves

Ghost stories are easy to binge. Living with the subject matter for decades is something else entirely. We sit down with Steve Gonsalves from Ghost Hunters to talk about what paranormal investigation looks like when the cameras are off: the sleepless nights, the intrusive memories, and the emotional weight that can hit you days later when a case finally sinks in. We also get nerdy about the parts of the field that are changing fast. Steve shares how conversations with physicists and geophysicists have shaped his thinking on residual hauntings, frequency, energy, and vibration, plus why serious consciousness research is making the “impossible” feel less dismissible than it used to. From debunking common misreads like orbs to questioning shadow phenomena, the goal is the same: filter noise, keep your standards high, and stay honest about what you do not know. Then we step right into the AI problem. Deepfakes and synthetic media can poison paranormal evidence overnight, but AI can also be a powerful tool for evidence filtration, pattern recognition, and analyzing huge datasets like environmental readings and time-based activity. We talk gear myths, why many people misunderstand EMF meters, and a wild EVP experiment involving a vacuum sealed box that raises bigger questions about how electronic voice phenomena might work. If you’re into paranormal investigation, Ghost Hunters, EVPs, haunted houses, or the science behind the unexplained, you’ll walk away with new frameworks and a few new questions to argue about.
