What happens when a 32-year veteran crime detective and aquatic death investigator applies hard, cold law enforcement principles to the supernatural? In this mind-bending episode of The Twilight Tonic, host DeeDee Moonflyer sits down with author, professor, and world-traveling detective Greg Lawson to bridge the gap between traditional police work and inexplicable phenomena. Greg details the rare psychological training behind county-level mental health response units and how they handle bizarre, atypical reports. More importantly, he recounts a chilling, firsthand medical mystery from his youth: a coworker’s intense, physical catatonic episode following an alleged alien abduction, which left behind a shocking medical scar on her brain. Is it epilepsy, or is it evidence of the extraterrestrial? Tune in as we explore real cases, discuss the critical protocol of letting evidence resolve a mystery, and unpack the chilling lore of hidden spots like Ireland's haunted Leap Castle. Grab your favorite tonic, settle into your comfiest chair, and prepare to examine the unexplained through the eyes of a real investigator.

Are we finally on the precipice of learning the truth about what lies beyond our world? In this week's voyage, host DeeDee Moonflyer dives deep into the shifting tides of the UFO and UAP phenomenon. From personal, generational encounters to the cultural shockwaves of documentaries like The Age of Disclosure and Steven Spielberg’s upcoming feature Disclosure Day, the conversation surrounding non-human intelligence has officially moved from the fringe to the mainstream. Join us as we explore how military whistleblowers, congressional hearings, and a growing demand for transparency are changing the stigma of the unexplained forever. Grab your favorite tonic, get cozy, and let's take a closer look at the night sky together. What do you think is waiting for us?

What happens when a total skeptic discovers she has the gift of spirit communication? This week, DeeDee sits down with evidential medium Lynn Cofflin, who shares her fascinating journey from suppressing her gifts within a strict Irish Catholic upbringing to embracing them later in life. Lynn explains how she uses Oracle cards as tools to tap into intuition and reveals the mind-blowing world of location readings—where buildings and spaces hold active, layers of historical energy. Grab your favorite tonic and tune in for an episode filled with chilling encounters, message work from the other side, and proof that our loved ones (and pets!) never truly leave us.

What if your chronic back pain isn’t just from a physical injury, but an emotional trauma frozen in time—or even a memory from a parallel lifetime? In this mesmerizing episode of The Twilight Tonic, host DeeDee Moonflyer sits down with Brandie Davis, a former biology major turned intuitive massage therapist, Reiki Master, and Craniosacral therapist. Brandie shares her profound journey from suffering acute childhood back pain to mastering the healing arts. Dive deep as we explore how spirits communicate during bodywork, the literal "significance detectors" hidden within our nervous systems, and an unbelievable firsthand account of unfreezing a client's childhood trauma in real-time. If you’ve ever wondered how past lives, shamanic journeys, and cellular memory intersect with physical healing, grab your favorite tonic, dim the lights, and tune in.

What lies hidden in the forgotten backroads and isolated hollows of Southern Ohio? Far from the panic of New England, the Midwest developed its own distinct, enduring tapestry of magic—one born of necessity, deeply connected to the land, and carried through generations by powerful women, healers, and respected cunning folk. In this episode of The Twilight Tonic, hostess DeeDee Moonflyer sits down with storyteller and author Mark H. Roe to explore his fascinating book, Witches of Southern Ohio: A Field Guide to Folk Magic, Legends, and Local Lore. Together, they step into a world where Native American traditions, early settler beliefs, and Appalachian folk magic intertwine.

Tonight, we are stepping away from the spectral hauntings for a moment to explore the living, breathing craft of the modern witch. Joining me is someone who has truly mastered the art of making the mystical accessible. She is the prolific author behind over a dozen books on modern witchcraft, as well as the creator of the beloved Everyday Witch Tarot and Oracle decks. Whether she’s crafting paranormal romance, urban fantasy, or tending to her 130-year-old farmhouse in upstate New York under the watchful eyes of her cats, she brings a grounded, joyful wisdom to everything she touches.

What if the beings we’ve relegated to storybooks—the fairies, the elementals, and the guardians—are actually walking right alongside us? Our guest today didn't just witness this hidden world; she documented it with a sketchbook in hand. Colleen Coffman is a paranormal investigator and artist who found herself caring for an old barn property that was anything but ordinary. From dancing with elf-like beings under the moonlight to negotiating with dark entities in exchange for peace, her experiences bridge the gap between the enchanting and the eerie. Please welcome to the show, Colleen Coffman.

What if the lights in the sky and the journey of the soul are two sides of the same coin? In this episode of The Twilight Tonic, DeeDee sits down with Simon Bown—hypnotherapist, researcher, and author—to explore the profound links between UFOs and the afterlife. Simon shares insights from his clinical work in past life regression and his extensive research into near-death experiences. We also dig into his latest book, which uncovers shocking aspects of alien abductions that challenge our understanding of reality. Whether you’re a serious researcher or a curious soul who enjoys a deep dive into the 'forbidden' files of human experience, this conversation offers that "insider" knowledge you won't find in the mainstream.

Can music actually be a form of magic? In this episode of The Twilight Tonic, DeeDee sits down with author Mike Fiorito to discuss his latest work, The Inner Space of Outer Space.

Whether you’re a practitioner of the craft, a music lover, or a researcher of the unknown, this conversation offers a rare look at the 'sonic architecture' of the paranormal.

In this episode of The Twilight Tonic, we sit down with broadcaster and paranormal researcher Melissa Morton to explore the places where science and the shadow world collide.
