The Telepathy Tapes is a podcast that explores the origins of consciousness and the unexplained abilities of ESP through science, verifiable experience, formal testing, and human story. In Season One, non-speaking individuals with autism reveal striking telepathic abilities that challenge everything we thought we knew about the mind. In Season Two, the lens widens to extraordinary experiences that invite us to rethink reality itself. From near death experiences to telepathic communication with animals, energy healing to plant intelligence, and the origins of creativity to sudden savant abilities -- each episode offers a rare glimpse into the vast terrain of consciousness beyond the brain.

The Telepathy Tapes

Before we head into the final two episodes of Season 2, we’re revisiting episode six of Talk Tracks to bring Dan Goerke’s story back into focus and prepare you for the role it plays in what comes next. His experience communicating with his wife after she lost speech became a crucial clue in our exploration of consciousness and sets up the pivotal return to Dan in our final two episodes, out on Monday, December 22nd and December 29th.

--

Can we still connect with our loved ones when memory fades and language disappears? In this tender and eye-opening episode, The Telepathy Tapes coordinator Katherine Ellis sits down with Dan Goerke, whose wife Denise lost her ability to speak due to early-onset Alzheimer’s. What followed was something extraordinary: Dan believes their bond transformed into telepathic communication.

As Denise’s verbal language faded, Dan began sensing clear thoughts and emotions from her—deep, complex messages conveyed without a single word. Their story challenges everything we assume about communication, presence, and the boundaries of consciousness.

We also explore the emotional realities of caregiving, the lasting nature of love, and how Dan’s experiences have resonated with others navigating dementia and loss. This episode is a moving reminder that connection doesn’t always need words—and sometimes, it transcends them entirely.

REWIND: Talk Tracks Ep. 6: Alzheimer's and Telepathy

Before we head into the final two episodes of Season 2, we’re revisiting episode five of Talk Tracks because it was one of the first to point toward a question that now sits at the center of where we’re going. It explores whether consciousness can remain active and aware even when communication breaks down, setting the stage for the final two episodes of the season, premiering on Monday, December 22nd and Monday, December 29th.

--

In this riveting episode of The Talk Tracks, we explore two astonishing stories that challenge our understanding of consciousness and the limits of the human mind.

First, we meet Elodie, who recounts her near-death experience at 18—a moment that profoundly altered her perception of reality. But what happened next is even more extraordinary. In a moment of deep despair, she received a telepathic message from a young, nonspeaking boy hundreds of miles away. His message not only saved her life but also revealed the profound ways in which consciousness can connect beyond physical barriers.

Then, we dive into a shocking case investigated by parapsychologist Lloyd Auerbach, where a woman in hospice care unknowingly projected her consciousness into her childhood home, appearing as a ghost to the new family living there. Her body remained bedridden, yet her mind traveled freely, challenging our assumptions about the nature of life, death, and human perception.

Could telepathy and consciousness extend beyond the body—even for those with dementia, Alzheimer’s, or in a coma? This episode pushes the boundaries of what we think we know about reality, connection, and the unseen forces that shape our world.

REWIND: Talk Tracks Ep. 5: Consciousness Beyond The Body: When A Coma Projects A Ghost

Part 2 of our episodes on energy healing looks at a larger question at the center of this season: if healing involves more than biology alone, what type of communication is actually taking place between people. Scientists are beginning to measure shifts in physiology, coherence, and brain activity that suggest the body may respond to intention and connection in ways we have not fully understood. These patterns appear across many different settings, from controlled trials to personal accounts where people feel changes that cannot be traced to touch or suggestion. In this episode, we explore these ideas through real examples, including the synchronized heart rhythms recorded between actor Tim Daly and healer Jill Blakeway and the return of phantom sensations during healing sessions with veteran Rustin Hughes. We also look at new research from Harvard and the University of Utah that finds Reiki producing effects that standard explanations cannot easily account for. And for the first time, we share early results from a major MD Anderson study showing energy healing slowing the growth of pancreatic cancer cells in dishes and in mice, research designed to rule out the placebo effect entirely. Together these developments suggest that healing may involve a form of information exchange, carried through systems of the body that science is only beginning to understand.

S2E9: Energy Healing Part 2: Consciousness at Work in the Body

We're sharing a special preview of an exclusive Backstage Pass Ask Me Anything with mycologist and author, Paul Stamets. Paul answers your most fascinating questions: from why different mushroom species affect our mood and anxiety, to how mycelial networks shape ecosystems, to whether psilocybin could enhance perception, creativity, or even telepathy. He also opens up about his own life practices, the experience that changed his relationship to fear, and how fungi may be guiding us toward a deeper understanding of the unseen world.

PREVIEW: Ask Me Anything with Paul Stamets

In Part 1 of this two part exploration, we turn from the mind to the body and begin with a mystery that modern science has struggled to explain. Energy healing is one of the oldest medical traditions on Earth, yet it has long existed at the margins of Western understanding. The episode opens with a Cambridge-trained material scientist, Simon Duan, whose worldview shifts instantly when a Qigong practitioner in China removes his wisdom teeth pain-free - without anesthesia. His story leads us into the origins of ancient Chinese medicine, where psychic doctors once perceived organs with their mind’s eye and communicated with plants to understand their medicinal properties. From there, we meet healer Julie Goeltz, whose husband’s life-threatening lymphedema disappeared during a Reiki session, launching her into a practice that now includes remote healing and vivid remote viewing experiences that transcend physical distance. We also hear from author and clinician Jill Blakeway, who describes energy healing as the body’s own intelligence becoming coherent and who has spent years tracing the science behind these subtle forces.

The investigation widens further through the work of physician-scientist Dr. Neil Theise, whose research helped identify the interstitium, a fluid-filled network running through the body that behaves electrically and may be the physical basis for meridians, chakras, and the subtle systems described by healers for thousands of years. This discovery raises a provocative possibility that the interstitium may carry not only fluid but information. If so, the boundary between mind and body becomes more permeable than we imagine. Part 1 sets the foundation for next week’s episode, where we follow healers and scientists into the lab as they attempt to capture what might be moving between people during healing itself.

S2E8: Energy Healing Part 1: Consciousness at Work in the Body

For millennia, humans have turned to psychedelic plants to expand perception and access realms beyond ordinary consciousness. This episode follows that lineage, from Indigenous ayahuasca ceremonies in the Amazon to the secret rituals of ancient Greece, revealing how these substances once served as powerful spiritual technologies. We begin with the extraordinary story of Don José Rubio, the Colombian elder who used ayahuasca visions to help locate four missing children in the jungle, and we hear from author Brian Muraresku, whose research suggests that the foundations of Western spirituality, like other belief systems around the globe, may have been influenced by psychedelic sacraments.

We then turn to the modern moment, where psychedelics are reemerging as tools for healing. Marine Corps veteran Juliana Mercer describes how guided sessions with ayahuasca and psilocybin helped her process decades of trauma, while Yale researcher Dr. Ben Kelmendi explains how these substances open windows of neuroplasticity that can transform mental health when nothing else has worked. Throughout, a deeper theme emerges: psychedelics don’t just heal. They reconnect us to an ancient way of knowing, one that blurs the boundary between medicine and the mystical, and invites us to remember what humanity once understood.

PREVIEW: Ask Me Anything with Alex Andersen

What if plants aren’t silent at all but communicating in ways we’ve simply forgotten how to hear? In this episode, we meet Nina, a non-speaking teen who says she’s been telepathically connected to plants since birth. She offers herbal remedies no one taught her, identifies health issues her family hasn’t shared, and describes plant communication as naturally as breathing. Her accuracy forces everyone around her to rethink what plants know and how they share it.

We also hear from indigenous elders, herbalists and experts who say this isn’t new. Mycologist Paul Stamets explains how fungi and trees send messages through the “wood wide web.” Herbalist David Winston shares moments when plants spoke directly to him and indigenous teachers from the Tsimshian, Lakota, and Kuntanawa nations describe plants as relatives, healers, and living intelligences who pass on wisdom across generations.

Across all these stories, a simple idea takes root: the natural world may be far more aware, more connected, and more communicative than we’ve been taught. This episode asks us to slow down, pay attention, and consider that the plants around us might have been speaking this whole time.
