This Paranormal Life

As paranormal investigators, we DREAM of the day that we finally make contact with extraterrestrials... but what if that day has already come? In 1966, banana farmer named George Pedley saw something truly bananas. A UFO emerged from underneath the water of a lagoon and disappeared into the sky above him. The encounter only lasted a brief moment but this strange craft had left something behind - t...

By the 1970's, the once beautiful 'Stanley Hotel' looked like it was headed towards total demolition... That was, until one fateful night when the hotel received an unusual guest - Stephen King. King and his wife were the final two guests of the season and after what they experienced that night... it was no surprise. This was the hotel that would go on to inspire King's next book, THE SHINING Foll...

In the world of the paranormal, cryptids are terrifying enough as they are. Sasquatch. Chupacabra. The Squonk. There are more than enough scary beasts roaming the earth to keep paranormal investigators up at night. Unfortunately for them, though, there are certain creatures to be even more fearful of… enter the Batsquatch. Deep in the Pacific North West, an area already famous for Sasquatch encoun...

When we think of haunted castles, we think of Transylvania, Ireland and pretty much anywhere but America... but tucked away in the small state of Rhode Island is Belcourt Castle, a huge mansion erected in 1891 and stuffed full of ancient artifacts with paranormal baggage.

In 2017 global history was made when two, apparently pre-pubescent (judging by their voices), 25 year old investigators known as Kit and Rory deemed the Loch Ness Monster to be a real paranormal cryptid, giving it a double yes in their investigation. But there was a problem - how could Nessie be the only sea serpent in the British Isles when Kit and Rory grew up only around 200 miles away (as the...

On March 16, 1967, a strange object was seen hovering above an Air Force Base in Montana. 60 seconds later, an entire fleet of nuclear missiles were knocked offline. What happened next was rollercoaster of secret investigations, government shutdowns and classified reports. But this incident wouldn't stay secret for long... after all, this wasn't the first time an object had appeared at Malmstrom A...

Imagine you could see anything on earth from the comfort of your sofa, what would you look at? Fair enough in our modern world of Ring doorbells and drones this is slightly less strange, but for most of human history this was a God-like ability up there with transforming water into wine and remaining calm in traffic jams. Crucially during the cold war the US government began to take this paranorma...

Saint Patrick's Day - A time to celebrate all things Ireland: the music, the culture, tayto crisps and seeing how many pints of Guinness you can drink before you go blind. But many people don't realise that Saint Patrick was more than just a saint, his life was full of bizarre and mystical paranormal events, from magical battles against druids, to raising the dead. It's time for the history lesson...

In 1963, two retired air traffic controllers were exploring a Louisiana swamp called 'Honey Island'. Despite sounding like somewhere Winnie the Pooh would live, the swamp is actually home to an array of deadly and dangerous wildlife... NONE more dangerous than the Honey Island Swamp Monster - an ancient BEAST unknown to science that's lived in the swamp for hundreds of years (or it might just be a...

Around this time of year in 1855 residents of a sleepy town in Devon woke to a strange and disturbing phenomenon - completely unrecognisable footprints were covering the town. Only they weren't just on the ground, but in impossible locations: on top of houses, over giant walls, and most alarmingly of all these tracks covered over 100 miles. With no satisfying explanation from the animal kingdom th...

Art has always documented human history. From 10,000 year old cave paintings to, I don't know - Banksy, visual art has depicted the world around us and its major events. In some ways it's evidence of these events, so what if it could also be evidence of the paranormal? In famous paintings from around the world there are hidden references to paranormal experiences, particularly aliens and UFOs. On...

As someone who spent many of their teenage years browsing the weird and wonderful pages of Ebay, I've seen a lot of bizzare objects for sale... but NEVER have I seen an object so dangerous and cursed that it comes with an official legal warning, explaining to potential buyers that if you end up winning this painting you may get more than you bargained for...

You’ve seen it in countless cartoons and movies over the years - a cowboy or other thirsty character carrying two rods through he desert, the sticks seemingly magically have a mind of their own and point in the direction of water. They’re called dowsing rods and go back potentially thousands of years into history. But how do they work? And if they locate water, why do paranormal investigators arou...

The small town of Newmill is known for a lot of things, but after a freak paranormal incident in September 1977, it was only known for ONE thing - a strange floating orb seen by dozens of witnesses in the night sky. The orb was seemingly harmless, floating along the ground and through the treelines. However, days after it's appearance when the locals started falling ill, they realised that maybe t...

Imagine the Super Bowl was interrupted by a UFO hovering over the stadium and Tom freaking Brady was the key witness to the FBI - it would be Christmas Day in the paranormal research community!

Christmas may be a time of festivity, peace, and goodwill among men but that does not mean the paranormal does not abound… In fact, Christmas is home to some of the most ancient and insane paranormal tales. For thousands of years, in the dead of winter, humans have gathered in the night around the fire of the yule log to keep themselves warm, but also to tell stories about ghosts. That’s why this...

When we think of Christmas, usually a few things come to mind - chestnuts roasting on an open fire, giving gifts to loved ones, and of course, Santa Claus. However, what if I told you there was a Christmas legend that's been forgotten over time? The legend of Hans Trapp, the devil-worshipping cannibal that appeared every year to devour naughty children... Time for Rory and Kit, two VERY naughty ch...

Macbeth is one of the most famous plays of all time, but did you know that it’s cursed? Legend has it that Shakespeare’s witch dialogue was so realistic he actually stumbled across real spells that cursed the play to this very day, and that just by uttering the word ‘Macbeth’ in a theatre is enough to doom the production. It may sound far-fetched but the long list of victims of the curse says othe...

First made famous in pop culture by Ghostbusters in 1984; it appeared on movie screens around the world as green slime, but in...
