Military Ghosts Part 2: Spirits Energized by Storm EVPS captured!

·29 min·2 clips

Gail followed a disembodied voice to Chris Kyle's grave, where he urgently shared a misunderstood truth.

This episode continues host Janine Plummer and guest Gail's discussion of military-related paranormal experiences, recorded during a thunderstorm. Janine is the owner of Austin Ghost Tours, while Gail identifies as an intuitive and empath. Audio engineer Dennis Foley monitors the session for electronic voice phenomena (EVPs). Gail recounts visiting the Texas State Cemetery shortly after Navy SEAL Chris Kyle was buried there. She describes hearing a voice saying, "I'm over here," which led her directly to his gravesite. At the grave, she sensed Kyle urgently wanted to communicate that he felt misunderstood and misrepresented about certain events. Gail left abruptly and felt profound regret for not returning for years, a feeling that still weighs on her. During the previous podcast, telling this story gave Gail intense goosebumps, which Janine interprets as a sign of truthful spiritual communication. After that recording, Janine experienced unexplained events in her home: her outside dogs burst inside through a securely closed door, and the door later opened and slammed shut coinciding with on-screen thunder in a TV show. Janine connected these disturbances to the story of Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield. Gail notes her phone battery drained to zero after expressing her regret, and her phone became unusually hot during a later cemetery visit, which she interprets as spirit-related energy drainage. During this recording, Gail feels strong energy from a military backpack that served three tours in Iraq, experiencing intense heat on her lower back when she wore it. As a thunderstorm begins, Dennis, using high-end shotgun microphones and a Zoom F4 recorder, reports hearing anomalous voices and sounds, which he marks at specific timestamps like 26, 28, and 39 minutes. Dennis explains his equipment is specifically chosen for its sensitivity in capturing EVPs, noting some voices manifest during recording while others appear only in post-production review. In the storm's energy, Janine feels a dark, heavy presence in the room and momentary nausea, which she associates with a strong personality. They attempt communication by asking yes-or-no questions for a spirit to blink the lights, observing a coordinated blink from two lamps after asking if Chad Littlefield is present. Dennis hears a male voice mention "liquor," leading to an impression of tequila and a sense of "good times" associated with the spirits. The tone is conversational and investigative, blending personal anecdote with technical paranormal research methods. Listeners are drawn into an immersive, atmospheric recording session. This episode will appeal to listeners fascinated by personal ghost stories, EVP collection, and the intersection of military history with the paranormal. Those skeptical of mediumship or uninterested in anecdotal supernatural claims may find it less engaging.
