Different backgrounds
Fisk and Lewis have different backgrounds which make their perspectives on the paranormal quite different. While Lewis has a degree in Applied Psychology, Fisk has studied Philosophy and Religion. It is Fisk''s belief that spirtulaity and the paranormal go hand in hand.
Fisk admits that by having these different backgrounds that Lewis and himself have varied opinions. “We''re looking at the same things through different eyes,” he said.
Fisk eventually hopes to work with more physics and mediums in his future work since most of the mediums he has previously worked with were legitimate.
The public is invited to this free event. No registration is required. McGregor Public Library is located at 334 Main Street, McGregor, Iowa
