250 – How To Be A Paranormal Detective: An Interview With Greg Lawson
After serving in the US Army, Navy, and Air Force (I guess the Marines weren’t recruting that day!) Greg Lawson became a Sheriff’s Deputy and Mental Health Officer near Austin, Texas and has now been in law enforcement for almost three decades. In that time, he’s also pursued his interest in paranormal research, dabbled in acting, music, and has written several books, fiction and non-fiction on supernatural topics.
His new book is called How To Be A Paranormal Detective and it’s a how-to book hoping to help would be Mulders and Scullys in using the same skills he learned in trying to find the truth behind crimes to try and get the best evidence possible of paranormal activity.
In this interview we cover:
- Some of Greg’s most peculiar cases
- How he investigates a haunted place (lots to learn from this one!)
- The importance of finding the terrestrial explanations first before jumping to paranormal conclusions
- His work interviewing Roswell witnesses
The story from the interview that most affected me was the one Greg tells from his Pizza Hut Assistant Manager days about his employee that had a seizure right after saying “They’re here…” (you’ll love that one!) It’s fascinating and terrifying and we used that energy as inspiration for this episode’s song, “The Captured Soul”.
They’re here
they appear
they feed
on fear
and what they say you don’t need ears to hear
You’re beamed
to a dream
you’re frozen and can’t scream
your consciousness outside the atmosphere
There’s no escaping
hallucinating
you can’t run
from your fate
inside your mind
A prisoner locked in
trapped and forgotten
the captured soul
with a body left behind
You can feel
the unreal
your brain a spinning wheel
you know they’re there but you can’t reveal
Immobilized
Paralyzed
Delusional and hypnotized
There’s no one you can beg, none to appeal
There’s no escaping
hallucinating
you can’t run
from your fate
inside your mind
A prisoner locked in
trapped and forgotten
the captured soul
with a body left behind
