This week, we sat down with blogger and lifelong Fortean, Stephanie Quick. We discussed the influence of growing up in the midst of the Bay Area’s early-80s art scene, some of her early paranormal experiences, her near-death experience, and the meeting place between Western spiritualism and ritual magick. Stephanie is a brilliant and intoxicating person. I hope you find this conversation as entertaining and thought-provoking as we did. Enjoy! Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only.
