#125 - Matt Swayne

Author: Grimerica July 11, 2015 Duration: 1:55:56
Interview begins at 26:45
 
Matt Swayne, author of Haunted Rock and Roll and America's Haunted Universities is a journalist who currently works as a research writer at Penn State. It's about time to get a little deeper into ghosts and hauntings.
 
Matt has worked as a reporter and as a music reviewer for several newspapers and online outlets, such as CentreDaily.com and Music.com. He is a regular contributor to the recently revitalized version of Omni Magazine, called Omni Reboot. He writes the Anti-Matter column, which looks at fringe science and the paranormal, for the online magazine. He has also worked on writing projects with Paranormal State's Eilfie Music. Balancing skepticism with an open mind, Matt uses his experience in journalism and interest in both ghostlore and the paranormal to collect and tell stories about the supernatural.
 
We chat about synchronicities, and strange experiences in rock and roll and pop culture. And a little bit of quantum physics, OMNI, the 27 club and lot's of other stuff. Maybe after this episode Matt will change his opinion on drum solo's!
 
 
 
 
 

In the intro Darren and Graham chat about some upcoming events (modern knowledge, CSETI, and Randal Carlson) in Calgary and the surrounding area. See links below.

The Grimerica Show is a long-form conversation series hosted by Darren and Graham that operates without a map, preferring to follow curiosity down whatever rabbit hole seems most compelling. This podcast exists in a space where documentary meets late-night talk radio, built on the idea that the most interesting perspectives are often found outside the mainstream. Episodes feature deep, casual dialogues with independent researchers, authors, and thinkers typically exploring the edges of accepted narratives. You’ll hear discussions that weave together spirituality, alternative interpretations of history, and the enduring mystery of UFOs, alongside examinations of consciousness, forgotten cultures, and societal structures. The approach is intentionally unscripted and open-ended, allowing guests to present complex or unconventional ideas without the constraints of a traditional editorial filter. The tone is more like a gathering of friends than a formal interview, resulting in a free-flowing exchange that can be both challenging and entertaining. For listeners tired of pre-packaged conclusions, The Grimerica Show offers a platform for speculative dialogue and raw inquiry. It’s built for anyone who prefers questions over answers and enjoys hearing a conversation unfold organically, with all its tangents and revelations intact. This is independent media driven by genuine interest, creating a consistently unpredictable listening experience.
