About this listen
What is it about creaking floorboards, half‑seen shapes, and whispered legends that quickens our pulse? In this episode of Deep Dive, we venture into the evolutionary roots of fear and our fascination with ghosts. You’ll learn how ancient survival mechanisms—like hyper‑vigilance to ambiguous stimuli—prime us to detect threats in the dark, why storytelling amplifies supernatural beliefs, and how modern neuroscience explains chills down the spine. We’ll speak with psychologists, anthropologists, and paranormal investigators to understand why the unknown still haunts us—and how confronting those fears can unlock resilience, creativity, and wonder. Tune in for spine‑tingling tales, cutting‑edge research, and practical tips to harness fear rather than be paralyzed by it.
