Tonight, Wednesday on FADE to BLACK: Bill and Jaci explore bridging tragedy and transcending darkness through the lens of paranormal research, examining the psychological and spiritual dimensions of extraordinary experiences. We will discuss a thoughtful approach to investigating the unexplained—where trauma, transformation, consciousness, and the mysteries of the paranormal intersect. Jaci and Bill Kousoulas are the founders of Phenomenology Research Professionals (PRP), a research team dedicated to exploring the intersections of psychology, spirituality, and the paranormal through rigorous qualitative methods. They are the authors of Bridging the Tragedy, a psychological study examining the 1967 Silver Bridge Disaster in Point Pleasant, WV, the Mothman narrative, and the phenomenon of post traumatic growth (PTG). Their work highlights how individuals transform trauma into meaning, resilience, and personal evolution. On March 1, 2024, they launched their next major study, Transcending the Darkness, which investigates the relationship between trauma and paranormal experiences. As with Bridging the Tragedy, the project focuses on the positive outcomes participants report after these events. Interviewees include Gary Osborn (The Rendlesham Enigma), Rev. Michael Carter (Ancient Aliens), Dr. Dean Bertram (director of The Man Who Invented Flying Saucers), and additional experiencers and researchers.
