    Some of the most unsettling encounters in the paranormal world involve the spirits of children. In Episode 5: "The Kids Are NOT Alright," MAPS co-hosts Shawn and Terri delve into their most spine-tingling experiences seeing and hearing child ghosts over their combined 20 years of paranormal investigation.

    We're thrilled to welcome our very special guest, Professor Greg Pejsar , a seasoned investigator who brings a wealth of knowledge and his own chilling accounts of encounters with the littlest spirits.

    Plus, you won't want to miss a major throwback story! The team recounts the incredible and unusual activity encountered during an investigation at KFAB, Nebraska's Radio Superstation, including the shocking phenomena witnessed by the station crew and, of course, the one-and-only, former radio host Tom Becka!

    Join Shawn, Terri, and Professor Pejsar as they share tales that prove age is no barrier in the afterlife—and that sometimes, the hardest stories to hear are the ones whispered by children.
