S4 Ep358: Stone Tape Theory & Funny Ways...

Audioboom Studios
About this episode
Do you believe that homes and rooms can have 'an energy?' Bethany is digging into the belief that ghosts and energy are “recorded” in stones (say, the walls of your house). This theory has been around for at least 200 years and it's called the “Stone Tape Theory”....spoooky. Then, Kathleen has been feeling kind of meh, so she’s cheering us all up with her favorite solutions to a bad mood. Tip #1: Ballroom dance with an invisible partner.
