Welcome to a Very Special Episode of The Oddity Shop! In The Shop This Week, Sam Baltrusis stops by to talk about his books, relationship to Lizzie Borden, Men in hats, and so much more!

The conversation with Sam Baltrusis begins with an unexpected spectral scream—just seconds before our recording starts—setting the perfect tone for an exploration into the world of a man who walks confidently between realms. As a journalist, author of 18 paranormal books, and psychic medium, Sam brings a unique combination of investigative rigor and psychic sensitivity to his work.

The discussion takes fascinating turns through America's most haunted locations, from the elemental energies to the stone tape theory explaining why certain buildings retain spiritual energies.

Perhaps most riveting is Sam's revelation about his genealogical connection to Lizzie Borden, forever changing his perspective on the infamous case. Rather than viewing her as a cold-blooded killer, Sam now serves as her advocate, believing she's been misrepresented by historical narratives controlled by those with agendas. through a more compassionate lens.
