Susan Slaughter, known to her audience as Susan the Dragon Witch, has spent years investigating haunted locations and documenting paranormal phenomena, work that includes her time with Ghost Hunters International. Susan Slaughter joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to walk through what that work actually looks like, from seances to fire-orb footage.
The conversation moves through haunted hotels, witch-trial dungeons, and underground tunnels, but keeps returning to one theme: Susan's insistence that skepticism and belief do not have to cancel each other out. She talks about what she has witnessed, what she still cannot explain, and where she thinks the line between evidence and speculation actually sits.
