The Possibly Paranormal Podcast

Pyramid Head, a ton of smoke, and scary black scars in the ground. These are all things that make up the series Silent Hill. But it's also not completely out of nowhere. Silent Hill was inspired by Centralia, Pennsylvania and the fire that has been burning underground there since 1962. In this episode, Lisa goes into extensive digging into the history of this town, how involved fire was in th...

That's right, if you thought Jake could make it through anything, you now know how wrong you were. If you knew he could get scared, than this comes less of a surprise. The Gomantong Caves are home to many things. A ton of those things are creepy, crawly, or something in between there. And that's exactly why Jake had a tough time with this location. Listen to Jake squirm more than most of...

Have you ever seen a death metal album, seen all the skulls and bones, it's got a name like Bone Church or Skull Chair or something like that? Well then, you've probably than seen this location, or something inspired by it. The Sedlec Ossuary is a place with more than 40,000 humans worth of bones that are made into various chandeliers, decorations, and even a coat of arms. The Treacherou...

The Island of the Dolls in Mexico is one of the creepiest places to see when you look it up online. Quite a few dolls out in this swampy and tree-filled area, all of the dolls looking grosser and dirtier then the ones before. And that is the subject of our latest episode. We went through the dolls just to entertain you and we barely came out of it alive. Listen to all of us cringe in this episode...

This week we bring in a special guest, that's right, it's our local modern witch, the Wiccan queen herself, Hannah! Also, Davis's wife! And she takes us on a journey all through everything that could ever be Winter Solstice. We usually ask the question, is this paranormal? And for the winter solstice, we know it is. It is a doozy of a paranormal thing. Listen to Hannah as she explai...

Alright, everybody! This time, we got hit by some sickness again, but we're hoping it's the final time! In order to make it up for you all, though, we've made a new level for our Patreon tiers and are announcing it here! All the Songs of TPPP! We've made tons of songs for the podcast. Going all the way back to Ode to Foghorns for the third episode. So, this week, we uploaded al...

Well, here it is, the first ever live episode of The Possibly Paranormal Podcast! This episode is part of a whole slew of Halloween events that happened at a brewery right in Minneapolis itself. Listen to this episode as we do a condensed version of the show all about Minneapolis mills. Then we get to listen to a few storytellers try to scare us with some campfire stories. Lisa tells us all about...

Happy Halloween! We've come to the finale of what we have affectionately called "Spooky Booky Gabadookie" month, but don't ask us what that means. With that, we are celebrating the 35th anniversary of The Lost Boys, and not the one about Peter Pan. This is the Kiefer Sutherland vampire pic from 1987. Lisa is going to hit us with the history of this haunted boardwalk, including...

A very special episode of The Possibly Paranormal Podcast! This week we are traveling across the pond to the British city of London. A very large matropolis that is steeped in history, scary stories, and some amazing ghosts. We needed some help with this, so we asked Nikki Druce to help us! You may know her from the podcasts Macabre London or Killers, Cults, and Queens. Her amazingly terrifying st...

Do you hear the creepy breathing behind you? Do you see him staring at you from the bushes? Do you see the shiny knife/machete that he's got? You've found yourself inside of a slasher film. A slow moving, hulking humanoid figure that remorselessly kills and no one can stop them, even though they only move at a walking pace. That is the subject of the Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco episode of TPPP. Li...

BRRRAAAAIINNNSSSS.... The zombie, a creature that has scared the crap out of all of us for quite some time. These creatures didn't just come from nowhere, though. They had some inspiration and have morphed throughout the years. And one of the biggest morphs they did was when a young George A. Romero visited the Monroeville Mall in Pennsylvania. This mall was the inspiration for the movie Dawn...

What could be scarier than a hotel, right? Well, what about a hotel that is haunted with ghosts, has the longest front porch we've ever heard of, and has a dress code? Have we scared you enough yet? Well, then you're not going to want to miss this episode on The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island in Michigan. Mackinac ( Pronounced Mack - in  - aw) island was once the most sacred of burial gr...

We say Haunted Michigan, but this location finds itself basically right in between Michigan, Canada, and the Paranormal. All those three intersect in this dark abandoned and haunted amusement park. Boblo island, also spelled Bois Blanc, was one of Michigan's premiere attractions for everything you could ever want in an amusement park, ferry ride, zoo, and so much more. But now, it's comp...

Hannah, the unseen producer, creator, and overlord of our podcast, has taken over for this month! She is in charge of choosing all of our locations. So, she wanted to go back to her home state of Michigan and have us explore some of the locations there! Starting with an asylum that is known by a lot of people in Detroit. Eloise Asylum in Westland Michigan. This location has had many different buil...

We're coming back inside after venturing out into the creepiness that nature has for us. This is out last outdoor adventure of the Natural Landmarks month. But, as soon as we get outside, we go inside. Into the depths of a cave known for harboring a witch that appears to be both helpful and very cruel. We head to Bell Witch Cave. We start with the story of the Bells that lived on a farm near...

While this episode is like any other episode, it's name is still quite grand! More that the location itself is grand. That's right, it's the Grand Canyon and all of it's surrounding areas. Not only is that a lot of space, but it's also lot of history, stories, and comedic material for us to work with! Lisa goes onto a deep dive of the original inhabitants of this large nat...

This episode has a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!!! You know, like the ones they have in sitcoms and serial dramas on TV? We got hit by the bug that makes everything horrible, so we couldn't record our planned episode, so we instead created some of the best moments in TPPP history all in one episode. For those of you that are new to the podcast, this is the perfect episode to start with. For those of you...

Now, it gets personal. That's right, we explore a place that is very near and dear to us, but not just in the adjacent area, but in a special place in our hearts. The Wabasha Street Caves are a mainstay of the Minneapolis area, in which our hosts reside. And it has been voted the most haunted place in our area more than once. We definitely find out why that is true in this episode. Davis gets...

One of the scariest places we have ever went to was down in Louisiana with the LaLaurie Mansion. So naturally, we had to revisit the state, but this time visiting a swamp in the state. And this isn't any old swamp. No, it's got an intense history and some specters that will scare even the most level headed of us. Listen as Lisa tells us about a few towns that used to be here and left, al...

Did you know that other places are referred to as the Bermuda Triangle? Well, now you do, and this one is in Romania. Just like the Bermuda Triangle, there are a ton of stories around time being manipulated and people completely losing their direction while in the Hoia-Baciu Forest of Romania. The only difference is that this one is only a few square miles large and is constantly surrounded in fog...

Tombstone is more than just a movie. Wyatt Earp is more than just a Kurt Russel character. Huckleberries are more than just fruit. This week, we took a trip down to Arizona to visit one of the most infamous towns in the whole of the cowboy times. We went to Tombstone. We allows the Patreons to choose the part of town we do, and they did not disappoint by picking the Boothill Graveyard. Lisa has a...

Probably the most paranormal place that we have ever talked about headlines our 61st episode! The Skinwalker Ranch in Utah has shows, inspired different research institutions, both private and public, and has perplexed ranchers, scientists, and billionaires alike. And now, allow the stories and history to perplex you, as well. Lisa tells of a whole rivalry between the native tribes of the Utes and...

Abandoned towns filled with the past memories of what used to be. The western part of the US is filled with them. And so we ventured our way into one of the more well-known and still standing ghost towns in Colorado, St. Elmo. No it is not named for the patron saint of Sesame Street, nor is it named for the 80s movie starring Rob Lowe. No, this town gets it's name from something crazier. List...

Happy Fourth of July! Or rather Fifth of July, because that's when this one comes out, but oh well, close enough. We are getting into the western part of America, more than anything to see the pioneering days of this country. The American Flag Ranch, a post office, a ranch, a living abode, and a place for the paranormal!... Possibly. Lisa keys us into the history of this very patriotically na...

The ride is coming to an end. Please ensure that all your belonging leave with you as you exit the ride. The bar will release once the coaster has come to a full stop. That's right, we come to the end of the Amusement Park Month, and boy, was it a doozy. We end the month with an episode picked by our Patreons. They took us all the way to Japan for Gulliver's Kingdom Amusement Park. Lisa...
