Britney's Haunted House with Heather Auble and John E.L. Tenney

Wed, 10 Mar 2021 16:11:47 GMT

This week we open the doors to the mysticism surrounding Britney Spears and dig deeper into the story of the haunted house she sold to Brittany Murphy and her husband in 2003 after a reiki healer supposedly opened a "spirit portal" that gave way to a disturbed male and female ghost whose presence shook the pop star to her core. Later, in 2009 Brittany Murphy and her husband both died in the home.

We start off the episode with psychic Heather Auble who discusses Britney's openness to the universe and what she sees for Britney's future.

In the second half of the episode, we talk to paranormal researcher John E.L. Tenney about what Britney could have experienced in the haunted house she ultimately fled and how that experience plays into how we all deal with grief and loss.
