Terrified Together with the Dark Paranormal

Believing the Bizarre: Paranormal Podcast ·

2026/06/19

Terrified Together with the Dark Paranormal We teamed up with KKevin Eustace from the Dark Paranormal podcast for this Terrified Together, and the two listener submissions he brought did not disappoint, starting with Hector from Modesto, California, a lifelong skeptic who grew up without horror movies and still can't fully explain the series of connected paranormal moments that have followed him since he was 4 years old, beginning with something sprinting at him full speed down the hallway that

The Hands From Under the Bed | Paranormal Podcast This week, we've got two listener submissions. First from Rebecca in Texas, who as a terrified little girl forced to watch Salem's Lot by her dad couldn't shake the vampires long enough to sleep, prayed desperately in the dark, and then had an experience in that darkness that she still remembers in perfect detail decades later. Then we got into Chloe's story, which genuinely had us putting the phone down — she traveled to Slovakia to help

Government UFO Files | Paranormal Podcast It's time to break down these government UAP files! The PURSUE UFO files are the massive declassified release from the Department of War covering over 200 previously classified UFO and UAP cases spanning 82 years, from the 1940s all the way to 2025, pulled from NASA, the FBI, the Pentagon, and beyond.

Sam the Sandown Clown

2026/06/02

The Sandown Clown | Paranormal PodcastThis episode we dove into one of the strangest and most uniquely bizarre encounters in UK paranormal history, the Sandown Clown, where in May of 1973, two children on the Isle of Wight followed an unsettling wailing sound across a golf course and a marsh, only to find a seven-foot-tall, no-neck, bone-white, three-fingered entity in a yellow pointed hat living under a bridge who dropped a book in a creek, gave them a wave, and then invited them inside his metal

Bizarre News: Aliens, Demonic Sightings, and...

Believing the Bizarre: Paranormal Podcast ·

2026/05/29

Bizarre News | Paranormal Podcast This month's Bizarre News has us covering four stories that somehow all ended up connecting — starting with renowned physicist Michio Kaku going on Diary of a CEO and laying out his case that alien life almost certainly exists, UAPs are real but we're still at Close Encounters of the First Kind, and if they wanted us gone we'd already be gone, which is either very reassuring or something we're choosing not to think too hard about. Then we got into a longtime

The Haunted Porcelain Doll

The Haunted Porcelain Doll | Paranormal PodcastIn this episode, we've got two listener submissions that both somehow involve grandmothers handing their family members something terrifying and then acting totally unbothered about it. The first, 16-year-old Lindsay staying alone with her grieving great-grandma, grabbing a fireplace poker after hearing phantom footsteps from a kitchen that should have been empty, and then walking into the living room to find a tall black cloaked figure with beady

Terrified Together with Scaroline

2026/05/22

Terrified Together with Scaroline | Paranormal PodcastWe teamed up with Scaroline for this Terrified Together — she streams from the Underworld, keeps a collection of genuinely haunted dolls including one named Coco that she communicates with through a custom doll phone, and she fit in immediately. So naturally, we got into three listener submissions ranging from a 12-year-old and his dad spotting a flying saucer outside Boston to a seven-year-old in Arizona who woke up sick in her parents' bed

The Pale Yellow Man

The Pale Yellow Man | Paranormal PodcastWe've got three listener submissions this episode, starting with a 13-year-old cleaning a warehouse where Bay 4 carried a heavy, wrong feeling from day one — complete with disembodied clicking sounds that circled the room like a predator, shadow legs with no body, and one final crash in the dark that sent them sprinting out and never coming back. Then we headed to England, where a guy waiting for his early morning Uber caught something pitch black sprint

The Rules of Appalachia

The Rules of Appalachia | Paranormal Podcast In this episode, we went deep into the unwritten survival guide of one of the most ancient and genuinely unsettling stretches of wilderness in North America — the Rules of Appalachia — breaking down 14 laws that locals, hunters, and hikers swear by if you want to make it back out of those mountains in one piece. From never whistling after dark, to what to do if something calls your name in a voice you recognize, to the very specific etiquette required

Haunted Chillingham Castle

2026/05/05

Chillingham Castle | Paranormal PodcastWe packed our bags and headed back to England for this one — Chillingham Castle in Northumberland, which might just be the most blood-soaked, ghost-saturated piece of real estate in the entire UK, and we went deep on every brutal layer of it. Waaaay more exciting than Leap Castle (looking at you, Producer Ben)From King Edward I using it as his war headquarters to massacre Scottish prisoners and their children, to a torturer named John Sage who apparently had

Am I the Haunted? | Paranormal Podcast We're back with another round of Am I the Haunted, where we dig up three more Reddit confessions and hand out our completely unqualified verdicts — haunted, probs haunted, or not haunted. This episode we've got a toddler who started refusing to go to grandma's house alone because apparently grandma has a stand-in when she's out of town, someone who keeps catching glimpses of a little boy in their doorway and a figure in white passing through their hallway at

The Creature in the Vanity

2026/04/28

The Creature in the Vanity | Paranormal Podcast We've got three listener submissions this week that each hit differently — starting with a birthday trip to the Stanley Hotel where flickering lights, a disembodied little girl's giggle, and a mysterious cigar smell in the elevator made for a haunting you'd actually want to have. Then we dove into Kevin's story out of Santa Fe, where an ornate family vanity became the home of something tall, impossibly thin, and very much aware of him — and the

Owlman of Mawnan

Owlman of Mawnan | Paranormal Podcast #owlmanofmawnanThis week, we took a deep dive into one of Britain's most compelling cryptid mysteries this episode: the Owlman of Mawnan, a gray-feathered, red-eyed, man-sized winged humanoid that's been terrorizing the woods near a 13th century Cornish church since the 1970s, and somehow keeps showing up specifically in front of young women. We walked through the most popular documented sighting, got into the bizarre cluster of paranormal weirdness

Throwback to Aokigahara Forest (Suicide Forest) | Paranormal PodcastWelcome to another episode of the Throwback Files, where we revisit old BTB episodes. This month, we head to Japan (and 2021) to episode 41 where we covered the haunting suicide forest. Just like last time, trigger warning regarding suicide and those kind of negative thoughts. We return to Aokigahara Forest and discuss it's history, hauntings, and revisit whether or not we find it believable. 🛸

Mysterious Feral People

2026/04/07

Feral People | Paranormal Podcast We dove deep into one of the more unsettling corners of the paranormal world this episode — feral humans — the idea that there are people living so far removed from society in places like the Appalachian Mountains and national forests that they've essentially become something else entirely. We walked through the history, the science, and the psychology behind how and why this happens, from documented cases of wild children to evolutionary changes in isolated

Am I the Haunted | Paranormal Podcast We're back with another round of Am I the Haunted, where we dig up three more stories from the internet's paranormal confessionals and put them through our very scientific haunted, probs haunted, or not haunted scale. This episode we've got a new mom whose brother-in-law heard a very familiar voice saying something he definitely shouldn't have, a teenager on a chaotic midnight bike ride who saw something in the California sky that she still can't explain

Terrified Together with BonusPac | Paranormal Podcast We brought on BonusPac for our Terrified Together, and honestly, it might be one of the funniest episodes we've ever done — but don't let the laughs fool you, because the stories we covered were genuinely unsettling. We walked them through a Colorado family's haunting that started with a mother's deeply creepy dreams and escalated into something her son Jet couldn't explain away no matter how hard he tried, and we followed that up with Baker's

Bizarre News: March 2026 | Paranormal PodcastThis month's Bizarre News had us kicking things off close to home — literally — with a wild Bigfoot flap happening right in our backyard in Northeast Ohio, plus a meteorite that was loud enough to rattle windows across multiple states and had one of us genuinely wondering if the neighbor's house exploded. From there we covered dozens of sheep vanishing without a single trace of bone or wool from remote Norwegian islands, leaving farmers, police, and

Skinwalker in the Woods | Paranormal Podcast This week we've got three listener submissions that genuinely had us questioning reality, starting with an 8-year-old sneaking into the chained-off section of a notoriously haunted abandoned elementary school and coming face to face with something that had absolutely no business being on all fours in that hallway. Then we heard from Nicole, a military wife who has been followed by a shadowy presence through every home she's lived in since 2014 — and now
