  1. The Great Saltair Curse sounds especially good. When investigators are affected physically, I think that’s especially interesting even if I am scared for the investigators.

  2. I could not live without the Discovery+ channel. All the shows are my cup of spooky!!

    It IS interesting!!! I always wonder if it’s really affecting them or like a placebo effect…except not that. I don’t know the word for it. It’s not coming to me. Like a paranormal hypochondria? Something like that. Basically, I wonder if they’re imagining it or if it’s really happening. Or if they’re faking it all together, but I’m super skeptical that way by nature. lol
