Paranormal Palaver

In the late 1960s, residents of the San Francisco area fell victim to a villian, unique in his methods and his madness.  We explored this tragic era, eager to find some path through the twisted maze of the criminal mind. "True Crime" author James Renner offered his insights and feedback. James Renner - Journalist. Palindrome. Writer. The Porchlight Project Archives - James Renner   To contact us w...

LW and Aaron moved on from weird news to SPOOKY NEWS as October got underway.  They also probed the nature of fear.  Why do we enjoy being scared?  A simple matter of body chemistry or something beyond common biology? Later, our friends Austin and Caleb stopped by to discuss everything associated with their top-shelf show GHOSTS IN THE MOUNTAINS.   Ghosts in the Mountains | Paranormal Podcast 25 S...

With our society growing increasingly tense, the need for a safe place for a brief escape has never been more necessary.  This week, to accommodate that need- and prepare for a month-long celebration of spookiness in October- the booger boys recounted the events of the Mothman Festival and then welcomed the delightful James Willis to the cabin for an evening of marvelous storytelling.   My Strange...

Don Jeffery Meldrum, 1958-2025.  Rest in Peace. After hearing of the loss of Dr. Meldrum, the cabin clan decided to put aside their plans for spooky season and offer this week's show as a tribute.  First, LW and Aaron deliberated the place Sasquatch holds among the native American tribes, both in oral history and pictographs.  Then, they revisited their chat with Dr. Meldrum in May to relive his i...

The news offered many intriguing anecdotes (FYI, LW is not a legitimate wizard) but the distraction was short-lived.  The booger boys faced the reality of a disaster which SHOULD have been prevented, and the conspiracy that prevented true accountability.  May the Challenger crew be ever remembered. Francis Scobee Michael Smith Judith Resnik Ellison Onizuka Ronald McNair Gregory Jarvis Christa McAu...

Gary Burbank, 1941-2025. Rest in Peace. We critiqued the interview given by Rep. Luna to Joe Rogan and threw ourselves on the mercy of UFO history.  Can a dive through the themes of the past help us find a path to the future?  UFO aficionado Greg Bishop joined us for a cliff notes tour of UFO lore and provided the key for future understanding (a nod given to the Uncrowned Pontiff, Patrick),   Joe...

The booger boys approached the news with some levity, as much of the evening would be shrouded in icy darknesss.  For- after a report from the Tennessee Wildman and CryptidCon- they focused on the cannibal monstrosity which has long haunted the northwest.  This included a look at two humans who, some claim, fell into the pit of "Wendigo Psychosis".   M K Davis' Presentation at 2025 Tennessee Wildm...

We wished a/an (un) fond farewell to all trolls and hucksters. The news segment spilled over into a thought experiment concerning time travel and UFOs.  If we see tiny gaps in space/time, could particles such as photons be sent into the past?  How would they materialize on the other side? In a tribute to solid research, we welcomed Courtney Block to the cabin.  A distinguished librarian, she educa...

The news reached the nadir of believability with the revelation of THE YETI BLOOD OATH! We also addressed the NEWSWEEK article that suggested all of us are stark raving airheads. Then, Troy Taylor pulled up a chair.  He reigns as author extraordinaire and founded the Haunted America Conference.  He unpacked the incusion of yesteryear involving BLACK GHOSTS! American Hauntings . The Americans More...

At long last, after having the topic of alien abduction- a topic many see as passe- brought to their attention, the booger boys examined one of the most high profile cases: the Brooklyn Bridge Abductions of 1989.  They also critiqued the research method associated with the phenomenon: hypnotic regression.  Do either stand up to the challenge of logic and reason? Remembering what did not happen: th...

THE GRAND RETURN OF AARON CROWDER!! The Ambassador of Reason helped LW unpack the news.  Then they explored a pair of mysterious rampages: the Phantom Stabber of Bridgeport and the Mad Gasser of Mattoon.  The second hour consisted of a delightful chat with Amy Bue as she discussed her amazing organization: Project Zoobook.  It has serious implications for the scientific study of our friend, Bigfoo...

Conspiracies and conspiracy theories have troubled humanity throughout history.  They have cost lives and curtailed liberties.  Do they continue into our postmodern, sensible world? Kris Newby thinks so, and we examined her book BITTEN, placing it in historical context and seeking an appropriate, reasonable approach of deducing what is going on behond the scenes.   Kris Newby Interviews: Kris Newb...

Please pray for Texas and support relief efforts: How You Can Help: Donate to Texas Flood Relief Fundraisers .   After shuffling through the news, the one-and-only Tim Binnall of BINNALL OF AMERICA shares his insights after 20 years of podcasting.  He also helps us with two topics with which we have wrestled of late: AI and alien abduction.

LW joined forces with "she who is his wife" and ventured outside the safety of the cabin, all the way to Bardstown, Kentucky.  There, they plunged into the history, legend, and spooky ambiance which is the Jailers Inn.  What otherworldly powers did they encounter . . . ?

We provided Tiffany Mac, host of Universal Secrets, ample time to "spill the secrets" of night visitors as she shares some of her encounters with the unknown.  Miss Mac also provided us with a springboard into a new topic for our cabin chatter: conspiracies.

This program is in memory of the crew of the USS Indianapolis. With LW's fiftieth birthday on the horizon, and with a lump of nostalgia in his heart, the booger boys examine another entity reaching the half-century mark: Steven Spielberg's JAWS.  The movie helped form the young holler booger, and is not without ties to the paranormal . . . The Shark Is Still Working JAWS Documentary . National Geo...

Prayers and condolences encouraged for Aaron Crowder after the loss of his mother.   Returning to the cabin with a spiffy new logo, LW and Patrick contemplated the horrors of Artificial Intelligence.  Will it forcibly take over the Earth, or worse . . . will we give our world away? Best-selling sci-fi author Tony Breeden joined the discussion, as we try to envision our future with AI.  Follow his...

Loretta Swit, November 4, 1937- May 30, 2025. Requiescant in Pace. The holler booger boys banter about the (lack of) UFO news and the future of time travel.  Then, enter a procession of specters and ghouls from our medieval past.  What can such tales tell us about the nature of the soul and the quest to understand what lies beyond? Theresa Racer adds her perspectives on paranormal investigations,...

Patrick maintained the cohost chair as BIGFOOT MONTH turned toward the Fortean side of the subject.  A surprise visitor also stopped by as we close in on the Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest. Then, we analyzed the "S" Files as Brian Seech enlightened us with his research experiences.  He is part of a husband/wife duo exploring the mysteries of West Virginia and Pennsylvania.   Follow Mr. Seech at Cent...

The Uncrowned Pontiff Patrick fills in for Aaron while he continues to care for his family: prayers appreciated.  We examine the audio evidence for Sasquatch and poke the sacred cow "evolution" with a stick. Our Vendor Feature covers the panoply of homemade Sasquatch crafts brought to you by Kiss My Squatch Designs! Thomas Shay, called a living legend by Matt Pruit, settles into a chair by the hea...

BIGFOOT MONTH is upon us! We begin our journey by recounting our experience at the Ohio Bigfoot Conference.  This includes a few voices recorded at Salt Fork Lodge in response to a pressing Bigfoot question.   In hour two, the erudite Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum presents the scientific evidence for the existence of a mystery primate.  He assures us the search for Sasquatch is a worth endeavor, and the dis...

We perused the news in preparation for BIGFOOT MONTH! We also window shopped at Seymour's Captive Cryptids and heard his story while getting the inside scoop on his products. Hour two belonged to Tobias Wayland, a Singular Fortean, who educated us on the Mothman outside of Point Pleasant.  It seems the presence of "winged humanoids" has a far greater lineage, covers the globe, and is intent on spr...

NASA experiences budget cuts, yet still has its eyes set on Mars.  Meanwhile, the mainstream media continues to treat the UFO subject as a comic relief skit. Legendary UFOlogist Peter Robbins wrote about the media's "ridicule factor" and many other topics.  He stops by the cabin to share his wisdom.  The conversation takes an unexpected turn, and has repercussions for the show and future episodes...
