In the 70s, Time Life Books started putting out these collections of paranormal stories, culminating with the massively successful series Mysteries of the Unknown, starting in 1987. None of these stories are scientifically sound, or based in fact. They are just stories that people told and handed down for generations, stories that turn a creaking staircase or a house settling in winter, into a supernatural haunting. I don't believe any of this stuff, but I still love it so much, I can't get enough of it. These books were my primary introduction to the paranormal world, and the fantastically weird, interesting, unexpected, people who believe in it, so I thought it would be fun to read you a little bit from the Mind Over Matter release, specifically some stories about poltergeists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysteries_of_the_Unknown

57:34Three pieces, one longer than the others, that I have never done in public before. I hoped they would all fit together to tell a story, and I was scared to death the the story they told wouldn't resonate with the audience. But I needed to trust myself, trust Anne and my friend who told me it absolutely was going to work, and take what felt like a very big risk. So I did, and I think it landed the way I hoped it would. The audience was receptive, which was not always the case at cons for me but has increasingly become the norm this century. Lots and lots of people told me they also know the secret handshake, and it helped them, as it does me, feel a little better. I use my phone to record all of my talks and readings, and then I put them with all my glasses and my shoes, so I have them. At the beginning, you're going to hear, faintly, my space brother, Ed Speleers, introducing me. You can't hear the smile on my face, or the overwhelming joy and gratitude in my heart, but it was there. I had no idea he was going to introduce me, and he was just so kind and lovely. Then you're going to hear me read something I titled I Turned Myself To Face Me, which I hope will be part of a larger work later this year.…
Is this machine recording? I made this ambient audioscape thing years ago. I can't remember if I ever posted it.

43:02The great Philip K. Dick wrote about the human condition as well as any speculative fiction writer of the 20th century, and I am incredibly lucky that this story of his is out of copyright. This was originally published in 1953. It's about racism and colonialism, about how the participants in a war see themselves and each other. In a lot of ways, it's about the original sin of America, a sin we have not yet reckoned with, to our great shame, with disastrous results for people of color and Native Americans. But it's also a fun science fiction story about a kid who just wants to play with his friends, and what happens instead. I talk a LOT before this one. I have a lot of thoughts in my head and I'm feeling a lot of feelings, so it may not be my best work. But it's honest, and we could use that right now, I think. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/40964/40964-h/40964-h.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_and_the_Beetles…

48:45From the September, 1947 issue of Master Detective Magazine, comes "Alibi Girl", a pulp narrative of two police detectives, solving a murder case where their prime suspect confesses, but also has an air-tight alibi. This one was a lot of fun to read. I've been wanting to do a mid-century detective story since this started. https://archive.org/details/MasterDetectiveV37N01194709/page/n21/mode/2up…
