What do you get when two skeptics walk into a haunted house? A lot of strange stories, and some serious lessons in critical thinking. In this lively and personal presentation, veteran investigators Karen Stollznow and Matthew Baxter share true tales from their own investigations into the paranormal and pseudoscience. Along the way, they reveal how ghost hunts can go hilariously (and dangerously) off the rails, and what good science can teach us about things that go bump in the night.
Dr. Karen Stollznow is a linguist, researcher, and podcaster. She’s the author of Bitch: the journey of a word; On the Offensive: prejudice in language past and present; Missed Conceptions: how we make sense of infertility; and Language Myths, Mysteries, and Magic. Her forthcoming book is Beyond Words: how we learn, use, and lose language. Karen is currently a researcher at Griffith University and the University of Colorado, Boulder. She’s also a host of the science, history, and folklore podcast Monster Talk, and an investigator of paranormal claims. Karen lives in Denver, Colorado, with her husband and son.
Matthew Baxter has always had an interest in the paranormal and was fascinated by every aspect of it. He read books by believers and skeptics alike and was determined to find his own truth. Matthew has investigated homes, pubs, restaurants, hospitals, parks, churches, and theaters. He has gone after UFOs, aliens, cryptids, and psychics, among other phenomena. He has appeared on Larry King Live, National Geographic, CNN, and the Travel Channel along with many appearances on local news programs, documentaries, and in magazines and books. He has spoken at conferences such as TAM, and presented for universities, corporations, and more.
