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. Together, they trace the mystical thread connecting ancient shamanic chants to modern ambient explorers like Brian Eno and Steven Halpern. 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. Melissa brings us deep into her firsthand investigations of hauntings and spirit communication, challenging the "official narratives" we’ve been fed our whole lives. If you’ve ever felt watched or called by something you can’t explain, consider this your validation. Reality is strange, the veil is thin, and Melissa Morton is our guide through the mist.

This isn't your typical paranormal interview. Today, we sit down with Dr. Kelly Schutz—producer, host, and, by her own account, a Starseed sensitive who has navigated over 100 unexplained phenomena. Dr. Schutz joins us to peel back the curtain on a lifetime of high strangeness. Whether you are a skeptic looking for data or a believer looking for validation, this conversation offers a glimpse into a life where the veil is consistently, and often unpredictably, thin.

What happens when you mix a show-biz professional with a passion for the paranormal and the macabre? You get the brilliant, twisted mind of Eric Miller. This week on The Twilight Tonic, DeeDee sits down with the screenwriter behind The Shadow Men, Mask Maker, and the "mirth and mayhem" of the SyFy hit Ice Spiders. We explore Eric’s journey through the entertainment industry, his work on legendary scripts, and the "terrifying" reality of being an indie producer. Whether he’s writing sappy poems or creature features that catch the attention of The Late Show, Eric brings a wealth of insider knowledge that most fans never get to hear. Tune in for a look at the dark side of storytelling and the monsters—real and imagined—that keep us watching.

What if the owl staring at you from the treeline isn’t just a bird? In this episode, we sit down with author and researcher Mike Clelland to explore the hauntingly consistent link between owls and the UFO experience. Moving far beyond conservative research, Mike shares how these majestic creatures manifest during highly charged moments of contact and abduction. We dive into his seminal work, The Messengers, discussing: Screen Memories & Synchronicities: Why owls appear when reality starts to bend. The Shamanic Connection: How these encounters trigger profound personal transformation and self-discovery. A Personal Odyssey: Mike’s own first-hand experiences in the Rockies and the Pacific Northwest that forever changed his view of reality. Whether you’re a seasoned researcher or a curious soul who has seen "too many" owls lately, this conversation will challenge everything you think you know about the visitors.
