This week I’m talking to Richard Estep. He is a paramedic and paranormal investigator. We discuss his experiences as a paranormal investigator and his books detailing the many places he has witnessed extraordinary events. We focus on his book 'The Devil’s Coming To Get Me, The Haunting of Malvern Manor'.

Malvern Manor has been many things over the course of its long life. In the late 1800s it was a hotel catering to travelers and businessmen; then it was converted into a rest home for the sick and infirm; and finally, it became a privately-owned care facility, providing a home for the physically and mentally challenged of six counties. It was often the last refuge for those suffering from alcoholism, drug addiction, and severe behavioral disorders.

Long after the building closed its doors for the final time, many people claim that some of those residents never left. Now a magnet for paranormal investigators, it is said that the abandoned rooms and hallways of Malvern Manor are haunted by the restless spirits of those who once called it home.

Bio

Richard Estep, author, paranormal investigator, and TV personality. You might have seen me on TV’s Haunted Case Files (Paranormal Investigators in the UK) Haunted Hospitals, Paranormal Revenge, Paranormal Night Shift, Paranormal 911 (that’s a lot of paranormals!) Destination Fear, or A Haunting.

My love of all things ghostly began at a very young age, fed by staying in my grandparents’ haunted house in England and by a constant stream of binge reading at my local library (Syston Library, you’re the best!) I didn’t begin to actually investigate hauntings until the mid-nineties, but when I started, the bug bit me and hasn’t let go ever since. I took this passion with me when I moved to the United States in 1999, and finally formed the Boulder County Paranormal Research Society in 2006. These days, most of my cases are research projects for books.

I started to write about my experiences in 2013, and now have north of 30 of books that are either on the market or contracted to be released in the near future. I make my living as a paramedic and clinical educator for a private ambulance company and hospital system. For three years, I gave tours at the infamous Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado — inspiration for Stephen King’s The Shining.

In the tiny amount of free time that does not involve paranormal investigation and writing about it, I am an unabashed geek, with a particular bias towards all things Star Wars. I have a Lego problem that may eventually require professional counseling if it gets any further out of hand. Perhaps above all else, I am a collector and reader of books.

This week I'm reading from Jenn Scott Pickett's book 'Reincarnation Explained without Religion: What Happens After Death, Why Some Children Remember Past Lives, and How Reincarnation Really Works'

Reincarnation Explained without Religion explores one of humanity’s oldest questions in a grounded, non-religious way: What happens after we die... and is it possible we live more than once?

Drawing from past-life research, documented case studies, near-death experience accounts, and the work of both modern investigators and influential spiritual teachers, this book offers a clear, accessible introduction to how reincarnation is understood outside of formal religious tradition. It examines why some children remember past lives, how researchers have studied these cases, what near-death experiences may reveal about consciousness, and how experiential and intuitive perspectives have also shaped the modern conversation.

Rather than promoting a belief system, this book focuses on explanation. It weaves together decades of research, historical patterns, therapeutic observations, and spiritual explorations to show why reincarnation continues to be seriously examined across scientific, clinical, and consciousness-based communities.

Inside, you’ll explore:

• how reincarnation is studied outside of religion

• why some children report detailed memories of previous lives

• what both research and experiential traditions suggest about identity and memory

• how population growth does not challenge reincarnation

• what near-death experiences may reveal about consciousness

• how past-life regression, intuitive accounts, and spiritual teachings fit into the broader picture

• what a multi-lifetime perspective can mean for how we live now

Written in a clear, conversational style, this book is designed for readers who are curious about past lives, consciousness, and life after death but who want an approach that is thoughtful, grounded, and free from doctrine.

Whether you’re drawn to reincarnation through science, spiritual inquiry, or simple curiosity, Reincarnation Explained without Religion offers a calm, accessible starting point for exploring one of the deepest questions of human existence.

Jenn Scott Pickett is a writer and independent researcher exploring consciousness, reincarnation, and the nature of identity beyond a single lifetime. Her work focuses on presenting reincarnation-related topics in a grounded, non-religious way, weaving together academic research, historical patterns, documented case studies, and intuitive inquiry. Rather than promoting a belief system, she is interested in translating complex or fringe-labeled ideas into language that is accessible, thoughtful, and human.

Jenn is a certified past life regressionist and hypnotherapist, a background that informs both her research and her perspective on memory, consciousness, and the ways identity may extend beyond one lifetime. Her work has also been shaped by personal experiences that deepened her interest in how consciousness may interact with the physical form. She writes about past-life research, children’s memories, life-between-lives accounts, and the emotional and psychological implications of a multi-lifetime perspective. In addition to her books, Jenn shares essays and reflections with a growing online readership through her website and social platforms.
