The Dark Paranormal

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.   Today we have one hell of an experience to kick off 2025, and yes the pun is certainly intended. Our listener, Vivien, gives us a retelling of her experiences growing up as a young practicing Wiccan. Vivien's experience proves not every retelling requires dramatic sound effects if the descriptions paint such a vivid image. But also, I feel, or fear, this...

Welcome to our 4 th Dark Minisode of Season 18, Today, an anonymous listener describes their run ins with the paranormal since a child, and brings forward some very thought provoking theories regarding why the things they encountered may have taken place. There are also some amazing descriptions of what was witnessed which prove that, forgive the pun, the devil is in the detail when it comes to so...

Welcome, to Dark Realms: Epping Forest Today we take a step in to arguably the most ancient of any dark realm we will discuss on the show. In existence long before man began exploring it, the historic, and some would say very much alive, Epping Forest, is a place which has witnessed and arguably felt, practices, tragedies and murders than any other area in England. But is it now home to a collecti...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.   Today we have a slight change to proceedings, as any podcaster will tell you, as a rule we all see a dip in listenership during the holidays, and especially this week. Therefore, I’ve decided to answer the question I get asked most frequently. That being “what is the most terrifying experience you’ve ever come across?” Well, all is about to be revealed, and...

Welcome, to a Listener Dark Minisode, It’s very rare that an experience lands in the inbox that “completes the circle” so to speak from a narrative perspective, and also , through imagery and description have those “authenticators” that speak to me to distinguish genuine from fiction . Yet today’s experience arrived exactly in that way, is this down right demonic? No. Is it a fitting, chilling exp...

Welcome, to Dark Realms: The Ancient Ram Inn As a Liverpool native, I find great interest and wonder in the historical facts of my hometown, the fact King John granted us “borough” status in 1207, and that his hunting lodge, though privately owned, still stands to this day, genuinely amaze me. Yet, despite the excitement I still get learning things about the 800+ years Liverpool has stood, todays...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.   Today Jess makes a brilliant point about how the frequency of events and a “building up” of both energies and the anticipatory emotions involved can sometimes create an environment just as paranormally harmful as any possession or ‘seemingly’ darker case. I believe its both true, and certainly food for thought. Joining our Patreon team not only gives you ear...

Welcome, to Listener Dark Minisode: S18-2 – Ouija Warnings Today seems like a very strange day discuss Ouija boards and the inherent dangers of them both spiritually and mentally, but I'm sure there are plenty of podcasts with festive ghost tales galore out there right now, so let swim upstream and share a series of events which makes you wonder if using one once can “open a door”, is multiple...

Welcome, to Dark Realms: Glamis Castle As we take our second step in to our Dark Realms series, we head only 70 miles north of our previous location, the beautifully gothic castle of Glamis. A rare mainly pristine example of Scottish Baronial architecture, the splendour of its exterior is a mere pretty mask to a building alleged to home monsters, witches, and on one occasion, the Devil himself. Fo...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.   Today’s Episode 2 of Season 18 all revolves around a house that came in to being in a way I’ve never heard but can imagine it to be in itself a cause for some of what you are about to hear. We are again faced with the question of where “causality” starts, is the house and/or entity feeding causing, or feeding from the negativity? Or is it now irrelevant as t...

Welcome, to our first Listener Dark Minisode, S18-1. For our debut episode of our Listeners Dark Minisode we hear from Eli, and her encounters with what appears to be a sinister spirit of an old man determined to make her life a misery. Once again we encounter the frustration of gaining belief in your experience…at least, until it makes itself undeniable. Stay safe, Kevin. Joining our Patreon team...

Welcome, to Dark Realms For our first episode of our mini-series “Dark Realms” we take step through a hole in a wall made not to long ago in a cellar in Scotland. The hole, accidentally made, would reveal one of the most historically fascinating, and terrifying, places in recent history. That accidental hole led to the opening of a labyrinth of underground dwellings to some of Edinburgh’s most unf...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.   For our debut episode to Season 18 we have a truly baffling series of occurrences encountered by Bri, ones which she states span almost 70 years. The wonderful thing with Bri’s submission is you always feel like you are within reaching distance of some…realisation, as if you are on the precipice of finding a causal link between the occurrences only for that...

Welcome all, to our traditional Dark Bites Bonus Episode before next weeks long awaited Season 18 Debut. Today we hear several shorter experiences, beginning with one that begs for more detail but does include a very interesting and similar entity discussed in our “Red Eyed Kids” episode. Then we hear about a rather distressing being who seems determined to abuse a young girl alone at home. TW: On...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.   On Todays Season Finale, we get to hear from Maureen, mother of Emma from last weeks experience, who not only gives us her version of the events as they unfolded, but also gives a background to some potential reasons the house holds such a seemingly powerful malevolent force. – As a note. With this being a Finale, there is a lengthy intro concerning some upd...

Welcome, to Dark Minisode 44 For our final Dark Minisode of Season 17, we hear from an anonymous listener who tells us about what they experienced when moving into a new home following a new birth. What they encountered is hard to determine, despite the excellent descriptions. One thing that does seem to be rather telling however, is the influence of the ex-partner on the activity itself. Stay saf...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.   Today we are presented with an experience that is so chilling its unbelievable to think this is the calm before the storm. You see this submission was sent in January, but the last few lines made me want to find more information from our submitters mother…Information I didn’t believe would be forthcoming, but it arrived a few weeks ago, and although both are...

Welcome, to Dark Minisode 43 Today our listener Lauren describes a series of events that she has encountered throughout her life, beginning in a home where a question still lingers about the entity’s origin point. However, as Lauren points out, the seemingly constant rotation of new tenants would suggest that regardless of its origin, it does not appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. Stay safe...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.   On today’s episode we hear about something which is as entwined with paranormal folklore as anything, that of the “Renovation Spirit”, but, this time with a twist. We’ve all heard the encounters of people knocking through walls or changing a home around, only to then be met with a series of paranormal activity, but usually that just stays focused to the home...

Welcome, to Dark Minisode 42 On today’s Halloween eve-minisode, one of our anonymous listeners reaches out to describe a series of events which seem to have been noticed by family and loved ones. However, the question that ultimately wish to find an answer to, is: Is something following them? Or could there be another, “coincidental” reasoning behind the events that are still taking place this ver...

Welcome, to Dark Minisode: Boleskine House On today’s Halloween extra-minisode, we take a peek in to a place of occult legend. Arguments on what exactly caused what exists there is hotly debated, has it ‘always’ been there? Some primordial force? Or was it the combined spirits of an allegedly killed congregation of parishioners, unable to escape the burning church which the house was built upon? O...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.   Our series of experiences today focus around the life of one man, who rarely speaks to his dealings with the other side, but has finally allowed his daughter to transcribe his words anonymously on his request in order for us to hear them. Also, the daughter in question has asked for our opinion, after hearing, on whether we believe this gentleman is a “Mediu...

Welcome, to another Dark Minisode, Today we have a genuinely fascinating experience told to us by a listener who describes themselves as a sceptical believer. Their experience seems to have had some almost ‘warning’ elements to it, but what was witnessed, not just by the submitter but 8 people in total, is one of the most profound Minisodes I think we’ve ever covered. Stay safe, Kevin. Joining our...

Welcome, to Dark Minisode: The Elemental of Leap Castle. There are fewer more terrifying entities in my mind than those which have allegedly existed since the dawn of time itself. On today’s Dark Minisode, we hear about one such being, the alleged Elemental of Leap Castle in County Offaly, Ireland. From terrifying descriptions of encounters, to theories on its creation, we peel back the layers of...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.   On todays episode, (aside from my laryngitis ridden voice), we sincerely have an experience which after reading and re-reading has quickly become one of my favourites, and the reason for that is not necessarily the information we’re given, it’s the information both we, and the submitter will never know. I’m not a fan of the word “Trope” when used in a negati...
