S4E58 – See them staring.

We all gravitate to horror stories at this time of year. It’s getting darker sooner, and there’s a chill in the air that can’t be ignored anymore. It feels right, huddling around a warm fire, having something hot to drink, and telling stories about what goes bump in the night. 

Okay, ready to get spooked?

S4E54 – Cabins and Curiosities.

Many things can be considered paranormal other than those involving spirits. The true meaning of paranormal is any event that can’t be scientifically proven or occurs beyond the scope of scientific understanding. From sounds of footsteps in long abandoned woods to seemingly benign childhood restaurant terrors, these stories fall beyond the scope of normal understanding and traditional hauntings.

S2: E27 – Before leaving, the woman had said to my Mum “look after them”

Since my last episode, I mentioned starting a YOUTUBE channel. Well, I’ve partnered with the Platform GetVokl to host a weekly true crime show every Thursday at 7 pm CST. However, I am considering hosting a weekly or bi-weekly paranormal show where listeners can join and tell their stories. The platform is really cool, think of it as Twitch for Podcasters. I’m going to leave a link in the episode description and, if you think it is something you’d be interested in – just let me know. Ok, enough of the business. Ready to get spooked?

The spooky tales just keep coming in from all around the globe, which makes me so thankful for you. You guys keep creeping me out in the best way possible and, if you follow us on Instagram, you might even catch some of my own personal ghost stories. I also plan to start a Youtube channel that brings the stories to life but, that is a few months off. In any case, time to turn out the lights…. Ok, ready to get spooked?
