    Is the Paranormal Like A New Religion?

    Since the early 2000s, paranormal content has exploded in popular culture. It seems we can't get enough of ghosts (and hunting for them). What could be behind this enthusiasm for spooky things. Here, I share a theory...that the paranormal is a clever way for us to be religious...without being religious. This is a BONUS VIDEO and is not a paranormal case. It shares a theory on the paranormal, so skip it if you're not interested in the information below... Including: - What is the state of belief today? - Why does the paranormal appeal so much? - How does the paranormal help us with our fears? - How has paranormal belief been influenced by religion (demons, cryptozoology etc)? - Why is there such a strong sense of community in the paranormal world?

    47: Scary True Stories of the Australian Outback (Part 2 - Paranormal Terrors)

    Last time on Frightful, I took you into the Australian Wilderness, a colossal, yet barely populated area which can be both beautiful and terrifying. We have already encountered a series of human horrors…from cruel killers to babies snatched by animals. But tonight, we head back out into the darkness for one more trip…only this time, the threat may well be harder to understand or define…because there are supernatural mysteries out there in the bush. I’m Peter Laws and tonight on Frightful we encounter Paranormal Terrors in part 2 of…Scary True Stories from the Australian Outback… Episode Sponsor: Stop wasting money on things you don’t use.

    46: Scary True Stories of the Australian Outback (Part 1 - Human Horrors)

    The Outback is an absolutely vast area of Australia, spanning 5.6 million km squared. It covers about 70% of the content of Australia, it would take up half of the United States if placed on top. It’s mostly flat, and covered with soil that is highly infertile and it’s filled with kangaroos, dingos (Australian wild dogs). Despite it’s size, there are barely any people. In fact, less than 5% of the Australian population live in the outback. So despite it being a beautiful, astonishing space…there is an inherent sense of threat in this wilderness. To cross it, is to become far more vulnerable than we probably have been before. Listening to this two part Frightful won’t help. I’ll be sharing scary true stories of tragic attacks and cruel crime to strange and frightening tales of the paranormal. I’m Peter Laws, and you’re about to hear Scary True Stories from The Australian Outback.

    41: Saved from Death...by a Ghost? (Part 2)

    When we talk about ghosts on Frightful, it’s normally a scary, threatening experience. The cases we look at tonight and next time are still scary…but there’s a difference. In each of the accounts you’re about to hear, we will meet people at the mercy of very frightening natural circumstances, from tragic car crashes to twisted sex killers lurking in a house… Yet the dazzling claim in all these cases is that these victims were protected by some sort of supernatural force. Brace yourself as police files meet the world of the paranormal. Because I’m Peter Laws, and tonight on Frightful, we explore accounts when people were ‘Saved…by a Ghost.’ Thanks to the following or their voice work on this episode: Nathan Rouse (Police Officer) Mellissa Oliveri (Margaret G) Tracy Nicholas (Pearl) Episode Sponsor: Start building your credit up.
