    Ghosts Explained

    What exactly are ghosts, and why might some spirits stick around after death? J. Allan Danelek returns to The Paranormal Podcast to discuss his book, Ghosts Explained: An Objective Look at the Paranormal. We explore why some spirits may be reluctant to move on, whether deceased loved ones can return for a final goodbye, and why certain places seem to attract hauntings. We also get into the psychology of ghosts, from playful tricksters to more troubling entities, and hear a fascinating personal experience. We also take a look at the world of ghost hunting, including EVPs, spirit communication, and the dangers of hearing what we want to hear in paranormal recordings. J. Allan shares his thoughts on the Philip experiment, Ouija boards, and the challenges of separating genuine phenomena from imagination or misinterpretation. Along the way, we discuss why treating a suspected spirit with respect might be a lot more productive than provoking it. It's a wide-ranging conversation about what ghosts might really be, what we still don't understand, and why keeping an open mind matters.

    United States of Ghosts

    America is full of ghost stories, and many of them are deeply connected to our nation's history. Paranormal investigator and author Richard Estep joins me to discuss his new book, United States of Ghosts: A History of America's Hauntings. From Revolutionary War battlefields and the Alamo to haunted Hollywood hotels and the White House, we explore the supernatural stories surrounding some of America's most famous places and historical figures. We also dive into Harry Houdini's crusade against fraudulent mediums, the legendary ghost of Abraham Lincoln, and eerie tales involving Mark Twain, Teddy Roosevelt, and the tragic Black Dahlia murder. Richard even reveals why some historic locations you'd expect to be haunted have surprisingly few ghost stories attached to them. Along the way, we separate history from folklore and tackle a fascinating question: Are ghosts always spirits of the dead, or could something else be going on?

    PLUS ONLY: Remote Viewing - The Paranormal Podcast REMASTERED No 24

    What if the U.S. military could gather intelligence without satellites, surveillance equipment, or conventional spies? In this episode of The Paranormal Podcast, originally released on September 13, 2007, Jim Harold welcomes remote viewing expert Lyn Buchanan, who served in a classified military program exploring the use of psychic abilities for intelligence gathering. Buchanan explains the principles of controlled remote viewing, how he became involved in the program, and how these unconventional techniques were reportedly used during the Cold War and Operation Desert Storm. Buchanan also shares some extraordinary stories from his military career, including a bizarre experience involving a Soviet particle beam weapon. We discuss the use of remote viewing in criminal investigations, searches for missing children, archaeology, and even corporate decision-making. Can ordinary people learn remote viewing? Was the government still using psychic spies in 2007? And just how reliable is this mysterious technique? Revisit this fascinating conversation from the early years of The Paranormal Podcast, now available in this remastered edition.

    The Not-So-Scary Guide To Ghosts with Rebekah Carmichael

    Are ghosts really something to be afraid of, or do we just misunderstand them? Psychic medium and author Rebekah Carmichael joins us to discuss her new book, The Not-So-Scary Guide to Ghosts: How to Make the Paranormal Normal. Rebekah shares how moving into a haunted house helped her reconnect with the spirit world and why she believes ghosts are often more human than we realize. We explore what ghosts actually are, why some hauntings can seem frightening, and how a little understanding might change the way we approach the paranormal. We also dive into Rebekah's unusual experiences involving the legendary pirate Blackbeard, the importance of setting boundaries with spirits, and why she believes psychic abilities are skills that anyone can develop. Plus, we discuss paranormal investigations, dealing with potentially negative entities, and the surprising similarities between communicating with ghosts and dealing with people in everyday life. It's a fascinating conversation that offers a different, and perhaps less frightening, perspective on the spirit world.

    Chasing The World's Monsters

    Jason Offutt returns to The Paranormal Podcast to take us around the world in search of strange creatures, cryptids, and legends from his new book, Chasing the World's Monsters. We dig into something especially fascinating: why remarkably similar monster traditions turn up in widely separated cultures and across thousands of years. From Bigfoot-like creatures and mysterious little people to Thunderbirds and dragons, some of these parallels are awfully hard to dismiss as simple coincidence. We also get into the big question of where folklore ends and something potentially real begins. Jason shares why he thinks the supposedly extinct thylacine could still be out there, we talk about Thunderbirds and reports of creatures that seem downright prehistoric, and we explore why eyewitness accounts from people who genuinely know the wilderness deserve more consideration than they sometimes get. If you love strange creatures, unexplained encounters, and stories that make you wonder what might still be hiding out there, this is an episode you’ll want to hear.

    Close Encounters of the Police Kind

    What happens when the people reporting UFO encounters are trained observers whose careers depend on getting the details right? British police inspector Roy Teague joins me to discuss his book Close Encounters of the Police Kind and the remarkable accounts he has collected from hundreds of police officers. We talk about why serving officers are often reluctant to come forward, the stigma that still surrounds the subject, and why Roy believes law enforcement witnesses can bring a uniquely valuable perspective to the UAP mystery. Roy also shares several extraordinary cases, including police helicopter crews encountering unexplained craft over London, officers reporting missing time after a massive triangular object passed overhead, and a bizarre glowing object that appeared to follow a police car before interfering with its radios. We get into alleged abductions, the so-called hitchhiker effect, encounters that seemed strangely aware of the witnesses, and how years of interviewing officers transformed Roy from a skeptic into someone convinced that something very real and very unusual is happening in our skies.
