3/11/26 - Real Ghost Investigations w/ Erik Carlson: Clown Motel, Washoe Club, Goldfield Hotel & More
Paranormal investigator Erik Carlson takes us deep into the field—beyond the hype and headlines—to reveal what real ghost hunting looks and feels like after more than a decade on the front lines.
Erik shares how a teenage encounter with a full-body apparition ignited his lifelong pursuit of the unexplained, leading him to investigate legendary sites like Preston Castle, the Clown Motel, Goldfield Hotel, and the Washoe Club. He describes methodical, client-centered investigations that prioritize empathy, documentation, and collaboration with intuitive practitioners—not spectacle. Key moments include a visceral spirit pass-through at Preston Castle, responsive SLS captures showing intelligent movement and temperature drops, and emotionally charged cases involving trapped spirits, elemental entities, and ritual interventions. Erik emphasizes ethical practice—pro bono work, post-investigation cleansing, and rejecting commercial exploitation—while also discussing ParaSense 2.0, a groundbreaking series using somatic sensitivity (including nude participant protocols) and advanced biofield measurement to study human-phenomenon interaction. His journey bridges empirical rigor and spiritual humility, grounded in lived experience rather than theory.
