Welcome to The Phenomena Podcast with Augusta Chapman! Each episode, Augusta (comedian, writer) and Eva (paranormalist, digital culture enthusiast) talk about ghosts and their role in American culture, media, and sociality -- well, we used to. Now we kind of just talk about any phenomenon, haunted or otherwise, that is fascinating us at the moment. Augusta and Eva (used to) use their background in anthropology to research and discern the meaning and patterns of apparitions, hauntings, and legends; now we use it to analyze all sorts of phenomena.

In this episode, Augusta and Eva break down how the agency of ghosts and the white fear of the 'Native spirit' led to the passing of a very significant federal law in 1990. We talk about Kennewick Man, haunted Westerns, and why we don't use the word 'traditional' anymore.
