AAAW: Paranormal Investigations Across Culture

On the October 6th livestream of Ask an Anthropologist About Worldbuilding, I’m hosting Dr. Ryan Goeckner a PhD in anthropology, a paranormal investigator and host of the paranormal podcast Beyond the Human. We’ll be discussing the paranormal across cultures and fielding questions about how to make the paranormal activity in your fictional world believable. How does belief in the paranormal reflect everyday life across cultures? Bring your worldbuilding questions to the livestream or put them here in the comments to help make this conversation, a little more spooky!
