Caite discusses the inherent whimsical nature of high strangeness, advocating a more playful approach to engaging the weird!
As a digital artist, puppeteer and former band member, Caite often utilizes creativity and optimism during her paranormal investigations, as well as multiple goofy run-ins with The Other.
We discuss the reflective nature of the paranormal, how fear-based interactions with The Other often serve as projections of our own trauma, Caite’s wacky encounter of a pair of walking socks, and how puppetry and animation may prove to be powerful tools of engaging the phenomenon!
======================
Huge THANK YOU!!! to Caite, a.k.a. Steampowered Mouse, for playfully and optimistically engaging in such a joyful and uplifting discussion! ❤️ Hopefully her own socks stay in their drawer!
