Robert, a self-described Atheist, was diagnosed with CIDP as a baby. CIPD is a rare and incapacitating disorder, which confined him to a wheelchair and left him living in children's hospitals throughout his childhood. Despite medical professionals deeming it impossible for him to walk, Robert defied the odds and achieved a miraculous recovery. His family believes this recovery may be linked to a vision of the Virgin Mary that Robert experienced shortly before. This episode delves into Robert's extraordinary journey growing up with significant challenges, and the paranormal events he encountered during this time and continues to experience to this day. Additionally, it explores how these phenomena affected the beliefs of his family members in various ways, and how despite witnessing what many people would consider miracles, Robert remains an Atheist to this day.

Two friends believe they may have accidentally summoned a demonic entity while imitating something they saw on Gwenyth Paltrow's Netflix show "Goop Lab". Possible Correction: The Goop Labs episode in question was "Episode 6: Are You Intuit?", not the episode specifically about Energy Healing. Special thanks to Melinda Lee Holmes for answering my questions. Melinda is an author, Tarot expert, and "witch about town". She also worked at a crystal shop in Los Angeles for many years, so if there's such thing as a "Goop Incident" expert, she is probably that too.
