Goblin Kwain

Tonight we’ll be continuing my series on “deconstructing a haunted house”, where I go room to room in a house reading experiences that take place there. Tonight, we’ll be going down to the basement…. perhaps the creepiest room in the house, but is it the most haunted? I read first-hand experiences of odd and unsettling encounters, such as small humanoids that run along the baseboards and hide unde...

Tonight I’ll be going through several stories posted on the website Your Ghost Stories ( https://www.yourghoststories.com/ ). These first-hand experiences describe encounters with gnomes, duendes, fairies, and a very strange looking humanoid with large cat-eyes and blue skin. In between stories I will provide some of my thoughts observations, and read some interesting comments left on the forum fo...

Tonight I’ll be dishing out another round of “puppet people” stories. Continuing in the footsteps of my first show on the subject I’ll be reading first-hand encounters (mostly from Reddit) where people describe seeing puppet/muppet-like creatures coming into their bedroom, interacting with them, and in some cases harming them. It’s highly strange and deeply interesting! 🟎 you can contact me at gob...

Tonight the focus is on shapeshifters and cryptids! This began as a follow-up/leftovers episode for my recent “strange animals” episode ( https://youtu.be/ZzeA9jP8z6A?si=BF4xxbaRSxsh5sie ) but expanded as I stumbled upon more and more information and stories… It’s a mix of folklore/urban legends–from witches who take the form of hares to phantom chickens–and first-hand experiences; featuring easte...

Tonight I’ll be reading stories from the website Liminal Earth ( https://liminal.earth/ ), where people post their first-hand strange/paranormal experiences and include the location of the event. In addition to reading the stories, I’ll also show Google street view of the location, and in-between stories I’ll explore local legends, folklore, archaeology, and other topics as they come up. ☙ For mor...

Tonight we will be reading first-hand encounters with bizarre animals. Some of these creatures look similar to the natural animals they resemble, but something is… off. Maybe it’s the size, or that it walks on its hind-legs, or that it speaks human language… I grabbed these stories from Reddit, Your Ghost Stories, and The National Cryptid Society. In between reading the experiences, I’ll explain s...

Tonight we will be looking at a few “unusual” reports from the Fairy Census, an ongoing academic research project conducted by Dr. Simon Young. This survey gathers anonymous first-hand experiences with fairies, but many of the submissions deviate from the modern “stereotypical” and commercially accepted image of what a fairy looks like. I’m going to read a handful of reports that are far from whim...

Tonight we are going to listen to the “leftovers” I set aside for two previous episodes: ‘on the ceiling’ and ‘disembodied hands’. For every episode I make, I simultaneously make a list of things I find relating to the topic I’m writing about that I find interesting, or stories that didn’t make the runtime. I call these lists my “leftovers”, and in my spare time I’ve been recording and archiving s...

Tonight I’ll be reading case reports from NUFON (North UFO News) and UFO Times magazines. These are eye-witness accounts of experiences involving humanoid creatures that vary from the standard “grey alien” to far more strange, like 10-foot-tall faceless, silver men. There are also possible cases of abduction, odd objects in the sky, and bedroom visitations. In between the reports I’ll share some o...

Tonight I will be reading stories from Liminal Earth ( https://liminal.earth/ ), a website where people submit first-hand supernatural experiences, as well as share local legend and folklore. All submissions are tagged on a map, so while I read the stories I’ll also show Google street view of the location. In between stories I’ll provide a bit of my thoughts and any topics I find relevant or inter...

Tonight I will be reading a handful of stories from the website Your Ghost Stories ( https://www.yourghoststories.com/ ), a forum where people post their first-hand paranormal experiences. These tales involve black dogs, scissor-legged shadow beings, red-eyed cloaked figures, trees with faces, and more… In between stories I provide a bit of my thoughts, read interesting comments, and tie in any fo...

Have you ever seen something strange in your room at night when you are waiting to fall asleep? Many people have, and the experiences are quite varied, from abstract shapes to bizarre dismembered apparitions. Whether these are ghosts, fairies, aliens, or just hypnagogic hallucinations is up for debate, but the fact remains that they are fascinating and they are common, particularly in childhood. S...

Many people are familiar with the fairies of Irish folklore, but a similar sort of being is also described in many cultures across the world (if not all of them), bearing similarities in appearance, behavior, and legends, but called by different names. Tonight we will examine what could be considered fairies or elves in a variety of cultures, such as Malay, Native American, Mexican, Filipino, and...

Tonight’s topic is gnomes! I’m going to be reading first-hand encounters with gnomes from the Fairy Census, Phantoms & Monsters, and Castle of Spirits. In between stories I will be discussing the folkloric history and variety of gnomes, and the diversity of these encounters may leave us questioning what actually “defines” a gnome. ❧ to view my source list, click here: https://drive.google.com/...

Tonight I’ll be reading stories from Liminal Earth ( https://liminal.earth/ ), a website where people post their first-hand accounts of strange experiences, such as ghost or UFO experiences, time slips, bigfoot sightings, and more. In addition to sharing their stories, the poster also tags the location of the experience on a map, so in addition to reading the accounts, I also dig into the area of...

Tonight I will be reading first-hand paranormal experiences that all took place on Halloween. These stories come from r/Paranormal, The Fairy Census, and the Dúchas Schools Collection. In between stories I will go into some of the history and folklore surrounding the traditions of Halloween originating in Ireland. I hope you enjoy this episode, Halloween is near and dear to my heart. Thanks for li...

Tonight I will be sharing some of my personal paranormal experiences. These all took place in my childhood home between the ages of 6 or 7 (when I start recalling memories) to the age of 13. These include disembodied voices, footsteps, a ouija board experience, and a full bodied apparition. Here is the link to the YouTube version with video intro: https://youtu.be/04LQWjcnBRk?si=Sx9sUS3L3nwjlvMh...

These first-hand experiences include psychic experiences, flying saucers, balls of light, encounters with strange entities, and much, much more. Originally upload to YouTube on Jun 10, 2024

Tonight I read stories of first-hand sightings of bizarre creatures and events while driving. So many paranormal encounters take place on lonely roads–why is that? Does it have to do with the setting or the state of mind? •Part one of my roadside encounters series is on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC6R5TCwsVE&t=0s •To read/download the Fairy Census, click here: https://independent...
