From #manifesting, to #lawofattraction, to #luckygirlsyndrome – these hashtags are all over social media. But what do they mean and where do they come from? The idea that our thoughts can change our wealth, bodies, and fortunes is so pervasive, that we don't realize how old – and distinctly American – these ideas really are. In this episode, we'll travel backward in time from TikTok to the dawn of Christian Science and unpack the origins of manifesting our desires with our minds – and see how these very popular beliefs pit science against mysticism.  Featuring Susannah Crockford, Sean McCloud, and University of North Carolina at Charlotte students Andrew, Amani, Chris, Eva, Journei, Sam, and Taylor.

(Rock Hill, S.C.) -- The annual ghost tours of Tillman Hall on the Winthrop University campus are planned for Oct. 22-23 from 7 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. However, Tillman isn't the only building on campus that is reportedly haunted. Margret Nance, Johnson Hall and the Little Chapel are also said to be haunted, according to many current and former students, staff and alumni. Why do ghost stories arise and what do they mean? The Palmetto Report's Christian Smith speaks with Sean McCloud, a religious studies professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, to learn more about the evolution of ghost stories.

The rate of “nones” or, those identifying with no religious organization, is at an all-time high in the United States. This begs the question- why? What is influencing this trend? How does this effect the definition of religion as we know it? Join us as we delve into beliefs about the supernatural, and how modern-day Americans perceive their religiosity. Virtues: Awareness, Introspect, Curiosity My conversation with Sean highlights the virtues of awareness, introspect and curiosity. Awareness of your own assumptions is important for connecting with your own understanding of a higher power, whether that be God, Karma, or The Law of Attraction. Developing awareness of what alternative concepts may be considered “religious”, “spiritual” or “divine” is also important. Engaging in introspective thought patterns, such as questioning what experiences have informed you of your current belief systems, will help to open the door of understanding the belief systems of others. Once this door is open, curiosity ensues. Cultivating curiosity of how and why others believe what they do, can then help you grow in a spiritual capacity.

Exorcisms and demons. In his new book American Possessions: Fighting Demons in the Contemporary United States (Oxford University Press, 2015), Sean McCloud argues that not only have such phenomena been on the rise in the last 30 or so years, they also reveal prominent tropes within the contemporary American religious landscape. More precisely, readers are introduced to the first in-depth study of demon fighting in the so-called “spiritual warfare” of Third Wave evangelical and Pentecostal Christianity, a movement that has global ramifications. McCloud examines Third Wave practices such deliverance rituals, spiritual housekeeping, and spiritual mapping. In short, demons are a central fact of life in the imagination of millions of Christians around the globe. Sean McCloud is Associate Professor of Religion at University of North Carolina, Charlotte.

How should one approach the study of demons and spiritual warfare? In this conversation with University of North Carolina, Charlotte professor Sean McCloud, demons, possessions, and exorcisms that might have once been considered fringe or marginal elements of the American religious scene are now part of a robust “haunted” or supernatural landscape.
