The Science of Spooky Coincidences: When Coincidence Feels Like a Sign From a Spirit
1 November 2025
In this episode of the Mount Washington Valley SPIRIT's Paranormal Declassified: The SPIRIT Files, host Eric Extreme explores synchronicity, where the experience of meaningful coincidences is often interpreted as paranormal signs, and gives examples such as sudden cold spots, recurring numbers, and items appearing unexpectedly.
The episode explains why these overlaps feel significant: the brain's pattern-seeking (pareidolia, frequency illusion), memory and attention biases, environmental factors that can create apparent signals, and how group dynamics can amplify perceived connections. Multiple case studies illustrate how ordinary explanations often underlie striking events.
Listeners are given practical guidance for investigators: examine the source of perceived connections, consider the likelihood of chance, account for cognitive biases, and respond with empathy while maintaining scientific methodology.

As a paranormal investigator, Eric Extreme has decades of experience. He explores the history of the paranormal from around the world. He also discusses the scientific study of perceived paranormal phenomena. His approach is to identify natural causes first before considering any paranormal explanations.
With years of research and fieldwork behind him, he offers insights into how the world views the paranormal and how these phenomena can be studied objectively, based on evidence. The goal is to help listeners understand how to approach paranormal investigations focused on science, distinguishing between what can be explained and what cannot. As he always says, "Science comes before the spooky."
