A left-brained skeptic's journey into signs, spirit and the afterlife.
West Point graduate. Engineer. Grieving father. Mike Nicholas explores the questions we all share about what comes next, with an open heart and an analytical mind.
From skeptic to seeker.
"In the depths of our grief, our deceased son reached out to us through the veil."
Hello! I am a recovering left-brainer and spiritual skeptic whose life was transformed through some unusual experiences following the loss of our younger son in 2020. In the depths of our grief, and in the middle of the fear over the COVID pandemic, our son reached out to us through the "veil" that separates us from our departed loved ones. Since that time, the amazing contact with spirit has expanded and deepened.
My podcast and channel, The Soul Unleashed, follows my spiritual exploration and the questions we all share about what comes next. My second channel, Question Death TV, shares the messages I receive through mediums from my loved ones in spirit, and from the many strangers who decide to just show up.
Listen & watch wherever you are.
The Soul Unleashed with Mike Nicholas: conversations on mediumship, near-death experiences, reincarnation, soul groups and the nature of reality.

"These orbs didn't give me all the answers, but they gave me something more important: hope, comfort, and a reason to keep exploring."
On June 30, 2020, during the darkest period of grief after losing his son, mysterious light phenomena began appearing on Mike's home security camera. An engineer by training and a skeptic by nature, he spent years testing, documenting, and trying to explain them away. He couldn't.
Now he shares exactly how he set up his camera, so you can observe too.
