On this edition of West of the Rockies we discuss science and the paranormal with Brandon Alvis. As a long time researcher of the paranormal, we talk to Brandon about his scientific approach to investigating this mysterious field, some of the notorious locations he's visited, and his work as the paranormal technician of the A&E TV show, “Ghost Hunters.”

We’ll also discuss some of the equipment he employs in his investigations with the “Ghost Hunters” team, various aspects of paranormal research, and his upcoming book, “Elements of a Haunting: Connecting History with Science to Uncover the Greatest Ghost Stories Ever Told”, co-authored with fellow "Ghost Hunters" team-member, Mustafa Gatollari.
