## Resource

What happens when paranormal research, witchcraft, and modern technology collide? In this Digital Social Hour episode, Sean Kelly sits down with Susan the Dragon Witch to discuss séances, Ouija boards, psychic intuition, haunted locations, witchcraft, spiritualism, paranormal investigations, ghost hunting technology, AI, and the unexplained phenomena she has documented around the world. Susan explains why famous haunted locations may change over time, how investigators can influence the energy of a space, and why skepticism and belief should exist side by side. She also breaks down how Catholic rituals overlap with practices often labeled as witchcraft. The conversation moves into haunted hotels, underground tunnels, Native American burial grounds, witch-trial dungeons, abandoned prisons, full-bodied apparitions, mysterious fire orbs, and why real paranormal evidence is much harder to capture than online videos suggest. Susan also shares why she believes AI could help solve mysteries the human mind cannot yet understand and why she is comfortable admitting that some phenomena may remain unexplained.
