Ep. 69 Ghost in a Box: Real Haunted Items

Scalarious

What makes an object truly “haunted”? In this riveting exploration of paranormal artifacts, we dive deep with Quinn from Real Haunted Items to uncover the fascinating world of collecting, investigating, and rehoming objects with spiritual attachments.

Quinn reveals the surprising science behind what makes certain materials more likely to hold paranormal energy. Forget plastic or iron—it’s natural materials like wood and ivory that serve as conduits for spiritual energy. The most compelling evidence? A Victorian-era baby coffin currently under investigation that consistently triggers REM pods regardless of location, and a mirror from Pennsylvania that caused nightmares so intense it was eventually sold to a priest better equipped to handle its dark energy.

The conversation takes an unexpected scientific turn when Quinn explains why hauntings intensify at night. UV rays, it seems, interfere with the EMF bubbles that spirits need to manifest—explaining not only why activity peaks after dark but also why full moons temporarily quiet paranormal activity. This intersection of physics and the paranormal offers a refreshing perspective on phenomena often dismissed as purely supernatural.

Beyond the chilling stories and scientific theories, Quinn shares insights into the business model of Real Haunted Items, which functions more as a caretaker network than a traditional retail operation. Items change hands through the Paranormal Asset Network (PAN) and undergo rigorous testing before being offered to customers. Interestingly, it’s often the most skeptical buyers—those purchasing small “mystery bags” containing photographs or film fragments—who end up returning items after experiencing unexpected activity.

Whether you’re a dedicated paranormal enthusiast or a curious skeptic, this episode challenges conventional thinking about the objects that might carry spiritual energy around us.
