By day, Andrew Smith is a paramedic — a first responder trained to stay calm in situations most people would find unmanageable. After hours, he investigates the paranormal, documents cryptid sightings, and asks questions about history and power that most mainstream conversations tend to sidestep. When Andrew Smith joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour, the result was one of those conversations that starts in one place and ends somewhere entirely unexpected.
From chilling firsthand encounters — including a shadowy figure caught on camera and glowing eyes spotted in the wilderness — to broader reflections on occultism, social media influence, and whether ancient lore holds clues to modern life, the episode covers a wide and genuinely unusual stretch of territory.
About Andrew Smith
Andrew Smith has built a following around the dual identity that defines his public persona: the paramedic who has seen real emergencies and the investigator who believes that other kinds of mysteries deserve serious attention. He explores paranormal phenomena, cave systems, and unsolved historical puzzles, documenting his findings for an audience drawn to the strange and unexplained.
His work spans ghost hunting, cryptid research — including encounters he attributes to skinwalkers — and examinations of occultism's influence on modern institutions. He has also transitioned into full-time social media content creation, bringing his investigations to a broader audience and opening up conversations about perception, hidden history, and how much of what surrounds us people genuinely pay attention to.
