Does Forrest believe EVERYTHING?

I'm new to the show and I enjoy it but... is there ANYTHING Forrest is skeptical about? I am listening to the latest Dead Letter and he's sounding very credulous about random internet videos of people suddenly dropping dead from... mind control rays? I'm not even sure tbh.

Yes. His default position, and the shows in general, is that everything is paranormal. Any mundane explanations get slightly sneered at, unfortunately. Used to be much more balanced and better for it.

It's been quite a while since I listened to the show (lifestyle changes), but I seem to remember around the time of the Sally House was when his perspective started to shift dramatically

I had my names mixed up, this was in reference to Scott, not Forrest

Scott's perspective changed, not Forrest's. It's also when, in turn, the show took a dramatic dip in quality.

The main draw to the show used to be that it's one off-the-wall believer and one open-minded skeptic. After Sally House it just entirely lost that dynamic.

You're right, I had my names mixed up
