EP 423 - The Scole Experiment and Cathy Davidson

About this episode

Donna explores the Scole Experiment while Kerri discusses the dark case of missing person Cathy Davidson and her connection to a violent cult.

Donna is diving into one of the most talked-about séance experiments in paranormal history called the Scole Experiment . Starting in 1993, two married couples spent five years holding séances in complete darkness, claiming a "spirit team" was producing floating lights, levitating objects, and mysterious images on sealed film. Kerri has a case that starts as a missing child and gets so much darker from there. Cathy Davidson was reported missing over Labor Day weekend 1973 after what her family called a picnic trip to Warren Dunes State Park in Michigan. The case gets dark from there when her stepmother Anna Young went on to found a violent cult in Florida. If you have any local true crime, local urban legend/lore, ghost stories.. we want them all!! We want to hear from YOU. Especially if you have any funny Ambien stories!
