Aura Goggles: Psychic Powers and the Dicyanin Conspiracy

The Haunted Objects Podcast

Do you know what color your aura is? In this episode we discover the unseen horrors of the spirit realm by strapping on a pair of century-old "aura goggles" and gazing at Greg's crusty energy field. Plus, we break down the science behind auras and reveal how to see them yourself, Connor investigates a mysterious chemical compound called dicyanin that inspired John Carpenter's "They Live!", Dana poisons herself, and Gordon the cat receives a psychic reading.
