The Celtic Banshee 06.09.2022

The Celtic Banshee | Paranormal Podcast This episode we dove into one of Irish folklore's most haunting and honestly misunderstood entities — the Banshee — and what we found completely changed how we thought about her, because this isn't just a screaming monster from the woods, it's a weeping fairy woman who cries for you before someone in your family dies, which somehow makes the whole thing so m...

The Battersea Poltergeist | Paranormal Podcast This episode we headed to 1956 southwest London to cover the Battersea Poltergeist — one of the most well-documented and genuinely unsettling poltergeist cases on record, involving a completely ordinary working-class family whose home was overtaken by twelve straight years of banging, scratching, levitating furniture, objects flying across rooms, and...

The Ohio Grassman 23.08.2022

Ohio Grassman | Paranormal Podcast This episode we went full hometown hero mode and covered the Ohio Grassman — our very own Buckeye State Bigfoot that we, two native Ohioans who are very into paranormal stuff, somehow had never heard of until recently, which says something, but also says nothing, because the encounters we found are genuinely hard to dismiss. We broke down the lore of this seven t...

The Berwyn Mountain UFO Incident | Paranormal Podcast This episode we dove into one of the UK's most compelling and frustrating UFO cases — the Berwin Mountains Incident of January 23rd, 1974 — where an entire Welsh village experienced violent earth-shaking, saw a massive pulsating reddish-orange orb hovering above the mountaintops, and then watched the evidence get buried, debunked, and dismissed...

Bloody Mary the Urban Legend 05.07.2022

Bloody Mary | Paranormal Podcast This episode we finally tackled one of the most universally known paranormal games in existence — Bloody Mary — and it turns out there's a lot more to it than just a dark bathroom and a dare, because we dug into the three historical women who might actually be behind the legend, from Queen Mary I burning 280 people at the stake, to Mary Queen of Scots having a genu...

Could Zombies Be Real? 26.04.2022

This month we discuss a major, popular topic that Tyler particularly loves very much: zombies.
