The Dark Paranormal

Welcome back, o The Dark Paranormal.   This week’s episode is intentionally a slow burn—but sincerely don’t mistake that for comfort. Emily’s lifelong experiences are a chilling reminder that not all hauntings come with jump scares and flickering lights. Sometimes the most disturbing stories are the ones that unfold over years, stitched together by eerie moments we try to dismiss… until we no long...

Welcome back to this week’s Dark Minisode: Demonic Vessels. Today we have an encounter that in and of itself is quite short, however I simply could not ‘not’ share it with you, specifically after finding out some rather startling, or coincidental, historical information. Hopefully you’ll enjoy this Minisode as much as I did researching and making it. And if, as posited at the end, neither Zach nor...

Welcome to Dark Realms: La Casa Matisuta.   On today's Dark Realms we visit Lima, Peru, to what is allegedly their most haunted house. Certainly if the tales of burnt witches, cannibal-esque massacres and deaths are real it just may be...or is there something, arguably more sinister at work?   By making the choice of joining our Patreon team now, not only gives you early Ad-Free access to all...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. Our 3 rd episode delivers one of the most intriguing set of circumstances I believe we’ve covered in what, at first glance appears a standard ghost tale, but taking everything in to account, I believe this is anything but. My reasoning as to why I believe in this experience is given at the end, but what can’t be argued is when I first read this email, I took s...

Welcome to this weeks Dark Minisode: Catherine, Samuel…& The Devil. Today we hear from “MJ” (pseudonym), who recounts a litany of some of the most terrifying things ever crammed into one minisode. Ironically, “MJ” questions if her experience is “dark enough” to make it on the show, and I think you’ll agree with me when I say a few moments into her experience the answer is a resounding yes. Sta...

Welcome to our debut episode of Dark Realms for Season 20. And as it's a special season, we will begin with the most requested place to cover that we've received in our inbox, the infamous Gettysburg. A huge thank you to all those who suggested it, it was an education to research this to say the least, and possibly opened a few more rabbit holes along the way. By making the choice of joini...

Welcome back, to our 20 th Season of The Dark Paranormal.   Our second episode of Season 20 takes us to one of the most spiritual of places in England, Glastonbury. After a couple decide to move to greener pastures something decides to move in with them too, ‘in’ being the key word. For years now we’re told of the strong links between faith, religion and the battle against the darkness. But perhap...

Welcome access to the Debut S20 Dark Minisode: The Following Faceless. Today’s minisode is literally one of the most paranormally packed minisodes I believe we’ve ever covered. Chey, as fate would have it, shared her experiences this very day I recorded them, whilst back and forthing on what was previously going to take it’s place, it was ‘good’ but something I cant put my finger on was telling me...

Welcome back, to our 20 th Season of The Dark Paranormal.   We begin our anniversary season with an update from one of our most memorable, talked about and emotional experiencers today, Alex from “Demon On My Shoulder” (S15, EP5). I would encourage everyone, although not fully required, to re-visit that episode in order to grasp certain references and the whole gravitas of Alex’s situation. Has Al...

Hello all, Normally as a precursor to a Season Debut we release an episode of Dark Bites, however, with this being both our 5 th year anniversary as a show, and our 20 th Season, we decided something different was in order. Therefore, it was my absolute honour to interview renowned paranormal author, and a true walking database of paranormal phenomena Ruth Roper Wylde to the show to be this season...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.   For our Season 19 Finale, Sam walks us through her experiences with things she doesn’t assume a name for, but her whole experience seems to encapsulate many of the theories about what causes these phenomena throughout this season, from trauma to possible psychic gifts, and of course “staring into the abyss”. Also, as rare as these episodes are, Sam provides...

Welcome to our final Dark Minisode of Season 19. Belief, especially in the field we investigate on this show, is a very malleable item. Not so in the world of religion. Indeed, when both of these worlds collide, the results can land on the furthermost point of belief, and everywhere in between. However, as people have commented throughout time, belief itself can be the most powerful thing there is...

Welcome back to this weeks Dark Realm. This week, our listener Gabriella suggested we take a peek inside what's known as Sweden's most haunted house, and it didn't disappoint.  I hope you enjoy our little venture in to the history, spectres and mystery of this small rural vicarage. Stay safe, Kevin. Joining our Patreon team not only gives you early Ad-Free access to all of our episodes...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.   For our penultimate episode of Season 19 we have a truly heart wrenching and brutally honest re-telling of Kevin’s childhood upbringing in a turbulent environment. As we well know by now, turbulent emotions seem to be one of the biggest factors in certain hauntings, but its so interesting to hear the now 58-year-old Kevin describe how his young mind sought a...

Welcome to our penultimate Dark Minisode of Season 19, Today, we continue with the paranormal experiences shared with us by our wonderful listener Niki from Fridays Dark Paranormal. And she continues in a similar eerier and engrossing way as we follow her around some of the jobs she has taken up during her life…and the ‘extra employees’ she’s had the misfortune to meet. Stay safe, Kevin. Joining o...

Welcome back to this weeks Dark Realms: Norfolk Island A huge thank you to our listener Shinnita for suggesting this amazing historical and deeply interesting location. Although only a small island, per square kilometre it is the most haunted place in the Pacific region. And when you hear its history, you'll understand why that is.   Stay safe, Kevin. Joining our Patreon team not only gives yo...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.   For Episode 8 we begin the journey of Niki’s paranormal life. A listener with a psychic heritage, we follow her path from childhood to adolescence to early adulthood as she comes to terms not only with her ability, but with a series of chilling encounters. Joining our Patreon team not only gives you early Ad-Free access to all of our episodes, it can also gi...

Welcome to this week’s Dark Minisode: Who Closes The Gateway? Our wonderful listener Erika provides us with one of our most unique episodes to date. I often talk about ‘Authenticators’, those snippets which jump out and scream truth. This experience however, doesn’t require me, nor my small team to look out for an authenticator…the CIA have already done so, and all but admitted this type of experi...

Welcome back, to Dark Realms, After hearing Dr Stevens intriguing account on the most recent "The Dark Paranormal" of his stay at The Crescent Hotel, it peaked my interest to look further in to this majestic building. We've heard the moniker "...Most Haunted Hotel" attributed to several residences, though this may not be " The  Most Haunted", It is without question at l...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.   Today we have one of the most intriguing experiences sent in by one of the most intriguing listeners I’ve encountered. Believe me, I think you will agree when you hear what today’s submitter has to say. A sceptic turned believer is one thing, a sceptic with arguments held in the world of science turning believer is something different altogether. Both equall...

Welcome to your early access to this week’s Dark Minisode: Tinker, Tailor, Tulpa. Why? Today we hit one of the very few topics that make me feel uneasy, perhaps it’s my belief in the power of belief, or perhaps it’s a reason I’ll never know. However today, our submitter seems to unknowingly be entering the domain of “The Tulpa”, the spirit manifestation of your own repeated thoughts, or, as her fr...

Welcome back to Dark Realms: Chingle Hall Today's is a place I've personally known as being "haunted" for years, but the extent of the darkness that took place? I for one was not aware of. The abhorrent abuse suffered by one Lady Eleanor, although totally factual, may not be for young ears or those with a visual imagination. This is undoubtedly one of the most terrifying realms we’...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.   For today’s mid-season episode, we have one of those episodes that has its own sense of “otherness” to it. Our listener Jess regales her time as a child in a large house atop a hill, a house which became a breeding ground for darkness. Was, as you’ll hear, the cause an individual? Or is the house and its history perhaps being overlooked? What’s not to be que...

Welcome to this week’s Dark Minisode: A Witch In Need Today we hear from our wonderful listener Tara, who kindly shares with us an experience which was passed down to her from her Grandfather. As is the case with the truly intriguing shorter stories we receive, there are several branches leading from the main narrative whose fate is lost to history, leaving us to contemplate the “what if’s”. Ironi...

Welcome to this week’s Dark Realms: Chillingham Castle Our Dark Realms location for today was suggested by our wonderful Patreon Jen, and its non-other than the widely known “Chillingham Castle”. Not only is it the perfect name for such a location, but perhaps this historic castle is the genesis point of so many “haunted castle” tropes and archetypes that we will all have crossed paths within our...
