The Dark Paranormal

On this week’s episode, Chloe takes us back to a home in North Georgia that left her with a feeling she couldn’t explain. Years later, memories of that time resurfaced—and left her with a question she still can’t answer. Today we question if keeping “sightings” or experiences to yourself is dangerous…in both realms. Stay safe, Kevin. Love the paranormal? Us too! Join what I truly believe is the pl...

Welcome, to "Encounters", our new minisode. On this week’s debut Encounter, Destiny shares an experience from one of the darkest periods of her life. One summer night, what begins as an unusually vivid dream becomes something far more invasive — an encounter that feels disturbingly physical, leaves her questioning the boundary between sleeping and waking, and refuses to end even when she t...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. In our Season 26 opener, we travel to Norway for an extraordinary account spanning almost an entire lifetime. From unsettling experiences beginning in early childhood to encounters that seemingly refuse to remain confined to any one house, Kevin has spent years questioning exactly what he has witnessed — and, perhaps more importantly, why it appears to continu...

Before our return with Season 26 next week, we’re revisiting some of the most memorable experiences ever featured on The Dark Paranormal, presented for the first time as complete, uninterrupted stories. This week, we bring you all three parts of Kinar’s extraordinary “Dark Arts” trilogy in one continuous episode. Beginning with an experience originally shared on Dark Bites before the response prom...

During the season break, we've decided that each Friday, when there is no show, you will receive an amalgamation of experiences which have previously been split across episodes. So, we begin today with what was our season 13 Halloween special, The Darkest Chapter. Genuinely, two of the most terrifying episodes we've ever put out, and, and in all honesty, one of the most believable experien...

For the Season 25 finale of The Dark Paranormal, we follow Kate through a series of experiences spanning childhood, adulthood, different homes, different cities and almost two decades of unanswered questions. Because what happens when the location changes, the people change, the years pass — but the feeling remains? This is about doorways, instinct, things glimpsed where nothing should be standing...

Joan was just 21, raising her young son alone in a council house in the Northwest of England, when life began to feel increasingly difficult to explain. The property already carried unsettling rumours about the families who had lived there before, but Joan initially had far more ordinary concerns: persistent infestations, illnesses, accidents, electrical faults and appliances which seemed determin...

On a quiet island in Sweden’s Lake Mälaren stands Ängsö Castle, a centuries-old estate whose pale walls conceal some of the country’s darkest and most enduring legends. Generations have told of figures still moving through its rooms, an encounter rooted in an ancient Scandinavian tradition, and a final story that suggests something far more dangerous than a restless spirit may once have been welco...

In the final of our three journeys into documented paranormal history this season, we travel to 1970s West Germany and a case which remains almost impossible to separate from the controversy surrounding it. At its centre is a young woman, a deeply religious family, doctors, priests, recordings made behind closed doors, and a series of decisions that would eventually be examined far beyond the wall...

A routine tuning job at a quiet Shropshire home leaves one experienced piano tuner confronting something that refuses to behave as it should. What begins as a small irregularity soon becomes harder to dismiss, especially when the history of the instrument starts to offer its own unsettling context. But it’s what happens away from the original house that turns an odd professional mystery into somet...

Today, a listener discovers how darkness can enter your life without spectacle, warning or any obvious moment of arrival. In this chilling experience, an ordinary day at work is followed by a succession of subtle disturbances that seem impossible to anticipate, confront or prove.

For today's Dark Minisode, our listener Ray, a hospital porter with more than two decades on the job, tells us how he has long since grown used to the strange atmosphere that comes with late-night shifts, empty corridors and parts of the building most people never see. But one routine journey into the depths of the hospital leaves him questioning an old warning passed down between generations...

On today's Dark Realms, we take a look at one of India's most feared locations. Dow Hill rises above Kurseong on the mist-covered slopes of the Himalayas, where dense forest surrounds historic boarding schools and an isolated stretch known locally as the Death Road. For generations, guards, woodcutters and travellers have reported unexplained footsteps, children’s voices inside empty build...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. Twenty years ago, electrician and paranormal investigator Julian joined a nighttime vigil inside Plas Teg, one of Wales’s most notoriously haunted historic mansions.

Welcome to our conclusion of last week's Dark Minisode.

Welcome, to this weeks Dark Minisode. On today's show, a lifelong fear of the paranormal followed our listener from childhood into adulthood, shaped by years of experiences they could never quite explain.

Welcome, to Dark Realms. Today’s Dark Realm has sincerely been one of my favourites to create. The Forbidden City, a vast imperial complex that for more than five centuries housed emperors, concubines, servants, guards and some of the most closely guarded secrets in Chinese history. Behind its enormous red gates lies a place shaped by extraordinary wealth and power, but also confinement, rivalry,...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. This experience, like others we've discussed previously, is one written across an entire lifetime of seeing, sensing and being followed by things most of us will never have to face. Its author describes herself as a beacon to the other side, drawing in everything from curious spirits to entities shaped by hatred, grief and something far more ancient. Each...

Welcome to a Dark Minisode. Today we hear from Rachel in Sale, who tell us about the experiences she's had, as a self labelled sceptic, in her new home, that was her grandmothers old home. It's a genuine insight in to the literal and psychological barriers that are placed between ourselves... and the resolution of a mystery. Stay safe, Kevin. We’re giving a full weeks trial of our Patreon...

Welcome, to a Dark Minisode. Today's Dark Minisode follows a listener from British Columbia whose recurring nightmares slowly began to bleed into waking life, leaving her convinced she was being watched wherever she went.

Welcome to the Dark Paranormal Today’s show is audio only, which I explain at the start (not a software issue thankfully but a choice) as today is the first of our 3-6-9 “famous” experiences, touched on in the pre season episode, today we look at Gotlieben Dittus. A woman who lived in a quiet German village on the edge of the Black Forest, her terrifying ordeal drew the attention of a reluctant pa...

Welcome, to a Dark Minisode. Today our listener, Sam, takes an evening management job at a newly opened drive-through coffee shop in Glasgow, balancing her education, work and raising her one-year-old son.
