Published: Sept. 23, 2020, 7:09 a.m.

After their encounter with the strange, psychic plant in the depths of Walla Walla, Washington, our three investigators have formed a tentative alliance and friendship in the face of what they witnessed together. Now Allister has places to be as part of his day job, and there\u2019s no better assistance than a motorcyclist with an ear to the undead and a hermit with a bit of paranoid muscle and a gun.\n\nI\u2019d like to take you to Long Beach, California, just as autumn is beginning to fade. The air and ocean are indistinguishably grey and paint a bright canvas against the ocean liners docked in Long Beach Harbor. There are many ships floating here on the peninsula - some are only sleeping until summer, but only the Queen Mary is dead in the water - stationary and rusted. It is decidedly not tourist season. And yet there are plenty of cars parked here on the dock - surrounded by sleeping giants.\n\nParaScience is an actual play, paranormal horror podcast told through Cortex. It is Game Mastered by the disembodied mind of Ben Hamlin with Ezra Kaye as Man in Black Alister McAndrews, Matty Trumbo-Gomes as agnostic exorcist Saint Garcia Flores and Nikki Boylan as conspiracy theorist Jules Ortiz! With a logo by cryptic Terra Bosart and theme by the ethereal Johnny Rinaldo!
