Do you ever just sit and listen to someone tell stories from their life? What a gift it is to be able to listen to such intimate memories that helped shape a person into who they are in this exact moment, with wisdom unmatched.

If you love doing that as much as I do, you’re in for a treat today — this is one of our ultimate storytelling episodes from a special person who has a rich tapestry of experience that can touch us all.

We’re talking to Clif Doyal. He’s a Nashville music industry veteran who manages and promotes artists, he’s a musician himself, and he’s a returning guest from season 4.

Last time we met for the show, he talked about using music as a unifier during intense political times. But now, we’re taking an even more personal approach to his life’s experience — you get to see a different side of Clif. I say that, because we’re talking paranormal experiences, but actually, you see that it’s not such a different side. Clif brings his personality, love for entertainment through storytelling, and ability to make meaning and purpose to everything he does, and this is no different.

Today, you get to hear at least three different stories of Clif’s true, verified, and real experiences with ghosts and what we think was a demon, and then several more stories about the gentle spirits of passed on loved ones. We talk about the differences between those various types of entities as well.

As Clif says, the veil between worlds is thin.

So, grab a cozy blanket, your favorite drink, and settle in while Clif takes us with him to being on the farm with his mom as a kid, a prophetic recurring dream, a Franklin, TN civil war cemetery at the historic Carnton plantation, a creepy cow path in an Ozarks holler, a bedroom in a shotgun house haunted by an old miner, and the moments his mom and late wife came to him in spirit form.
