798 - Terry Tyson - Pendulums Swing

We can’t let the “month of boo” slip by without a conversation with someone about the “other side” or Houdini or something bizarre or macabre. So, this week we chat with corporate trainer, Terry Tyson, who often uses seances for his clients. He frequently uses pendulums in his seances which he shares in this week’s episode.

Terry Tyson is a frequent attendee and/or presenter at mentalism conventions, bizarre conferences, and storytelling events where he is always willing share his many ideas and experiences. In this week’s episode, Terry tells us some of the rather unusual stories of things he has seen or unique experiences he has had during seances.
