Aura Goggles: Psychic Powers and the Dicyanin Conspiracy | Episode 013 | Haunted Objects Podcast

Do you know what color your aura is? In this episode we discover the unseen horrors of the spirit realm by strapping on a pair of century-old “aura goggles“ and gazing at Greg’s crusty energy field. Plus, we break down the science behind auras and reveal how to see them yourself, Connor investigates a mysterious chemical compound called dicyanin that inspired John Carpenter’s “They Live!“, Dana poisons herself, and Gordon the cat receives a psychic reading.
