Children’s author Anna Brooke joins the podcast to discuss her latest book, *Death by Chocolate*, a mystery novel for middle-grade readers featuring a ghostly chocolatier. The conversation centers on the intersection of creative inspiration and personal experiences with the paranormal. Brooke details several unexplained occurrences in her Parisian apartment, including phantom children’s footsteps, the sudden appearance of a mysterious flat cap, and poltergeist-like activity involving kitchenware. These events prompted a professional space cleansing, which reportedly restored harmony to the home. Beyond personal anecdotes, the dialogue examines scientific and psychological interpretations of supernatural phenomena, such as pareidolia, sleep paralysis, and the influence of infrasound. The episode concludes by inviting listeners to submit their own accounts of unexplained experiences for a chance to win a signed copy of the new book.
