Eye Opener Society Reborn: From Podcast to Information-Based Collective

As the year comes to a close, host Gary Dean shares a powerful transition episode for Eye Opener Society, outlining major changes, a renewed creative vision, and the future direction of the show. This episode reflects on 2025, announces the move to a new studio on December 22, and explains why Eye Opener Society is evolving beyond the traditional “podcast” label into an information-based, community-driven experience.
Gary dives deep into the importance of creativity, intuition, meditation practice, mindfulness, and higher consciousness, emphasizing the need for meaningful, useful conversations rather than surface-level content. He discusses the intention to move away from the oversaturation of podcasting and toward a more structured, video-forward format that prioritizes depth, clarity, and authenticity.
Although co-host Lizzie could not attend due to family matters, her presence is strongly felt through the launch of the Eye Opener Society Discord, a space designed for listeners around the world to connect, share real-life experiences, intuitive insights, spiritual practices, and personal growth journeys—without gatekeeping or hierarchy. The show is positioned as a collective, welcoming diverse voices and lived experiences.
This episode also introduces the expansion of the Eye Opener Society network, bringing together aligned shows such as Haunted & Waiting (Anne Lund), Out There (Sunset Child), and Arcane Oracle, while preserving each creator’s unique voice and identity. Logo updates and branding evolution are also discussed.
Gary explains upcoming distribution and technical changes, including a video-first approach using Podbean as the primary host. He outlines why some platforms may no longer carry the show, the financial and technical reasoning behind this decision, and the long-term goal of transitioning toward internet radio–style programming.
Looking ahead to 2026, Eye Opener Society will focus on:
Higher consciousness and spiritual awareness
Practical spirituality and embodiment
Meditation and mindfulness practices
Human resilience and intuitive development
Paranormal exploration, including ghosts, UFOs, and cosmic phenomena
Listeners can expect continued weekly Wednesday meditations, reserved guest nights, opportunities for aligned creators to join as guest co-hosts, and collaborations with Carly and Carla of Appalachian Rootworks and their podcast Rooted in Ruins.

🎙️ Haunted and Waiting: Phantom Cries — Echoes That Don’t Belong

Step inside the shadows with Host Ann Lund in this gripping episode of Haunted and Waiting, where she unravels one of the most unsettling paranormal mysteries of all time: phantom cries and phantom wails. This chilling phenomenon has been reported for centuries across cultures—and now Ann brings you eyewitness accounts, historical legends, and psychological insights that will leave you questioning what’s real… and what lingers between worlds.
Ann opens her marble notebook and shares two true personal encounters inside a 100-year-old New Jersey home—one from her very first night sleeping there, and another years later when her young son heard crying from an empty attic during their move-out. These are the kinds of moments that stay with you, raising the question: What happens when the walls remember?
From there, the episode expands into global folklore and famous hauntings, including:
La Llorona, the weeping woman of Mexican legend
Reports of crying children at The Myrtles Plantation
Eerie phantom child cries echoing through the woods of Gettysburg
Ann carefully breaks down the difference between phantom cries (sounds with no visible source) and apparitions, and explains why witnesses often experience an instinctive emotional pull—especially when the sound resembles a child or woman in distress.
This episode also dives deep into the possible explanations, both paranormal and scientific:
Residual energy replaying traumatic events
“Thin veil” moments and overlapping timelines
Intentional spirit communication
Auditory pareidolia and natural environmental sounds
Why shared experiences from multiple witnesses strengthen the case for true anomalies
Blending storytelling, folklore, historical research, and critical analysis, Ann guides listeners through the mystery while encouraging you to decide where you stand. Are these sounds a plea from the other side… or tricks of the mind?
Join the conversation after the episode at hauntedandwaiting.blog and through other Eye Opener Society podcast platforms.
