Iron City Paranormal is BACK with part 2, the evidence review!
A few tips for listening to this episode:
when the evidence audio plays, turn up your volume, close your eyes (if you can! be responsible!), and listen beyond the initial wooshing or background sounds you might hear. Use the backwards arrow on your phone to turn back the time on the podcast and listen to the audio more than once. Especially the first one, and the last one at Gettysburg!

Whether she’s podcasting, writing, or working through snags in a magickal or mundane way (or both for MAXIMUM spice), the end result is the same: Emmy is here to be unabashedly herself and to help others be the most authentic version of themselves.

Tyler has been facilitating professional astrology readings for over 4 years. His new show, Future Forecast: Weekly Astrology with Tyler Brass can be found on Apple, Spotify, or iHeart Radio. Recently, Tyler’s natural sensitivity to energy has evolved into psychic senses and a budding mediumship journey. Tyler’s professional readings include birth charts, future forecasts, solar returns, compatibility charts, predictive charts(or what’s known as “The Best Time” reading), and his own form of locational astrology, which he features on his podcast, ASTRO TRAVELING. His intuitive offerings include psychic sessions, aura readings, manifestation coaching and reiki healing. Tyler believes we are all filled with a unique purpose, and it just takes an open heart to light the way.
