Tap, Tap, Tap...It's Death

The Dark Paranormal ·

2025/06/19

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. Just when I thought recent experiences have been so good (in a terrifying why) that there eventually needs to be a drop in calibre, we read a submission that was so breath taking I was talking about it with friends immediately after reading it. The theories around how thin the veil may appear to those unfortunate enough to experience dementia are as old as they are interesting. Today, if there was an experience to add weight to those theories. They do not come

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. Today’s midseason episode is one I’ve genuinely been waiting for you to hear. It’s exceptionally rare I receive anything with attached photographic evidence, and although it’s been requested not to be shared, believe me when I say the experience itself paints all the imagery you need. I’m being sincere when I say that to me this is one of the most believable experiences we’ve had, and therefore, one of the most terrifying. I hope you enjoy this as much as I

Dark Minisode: Promotion In Divination

Welcome to this week’s Dark Minisode.Today, an anonymous contributor gives us a chronological re-telling of their journey from a mere “interest” in the occult, to moving on to the use of Pendulums. After this experience leads to negativity, our listener fails to heed certain warnings about everyone’s favourite “Talking Board” …and quickly learns the error of their ways.Stay safe,Kevin.YES, you heard correctly, for the month of June ONLY, as a special anniversary treat and a thank you, we’re giving a

A Lantern For The Dead

The Dark Paranormal ·

2025/06/05

Welcome back, o The Dark Paranormal. This week’s episode is intentionally a slow burn—but sincerely don’t mistake that for comfort. Emily’s lifelong experiences are a chilling reminder that not all hauntings come with jump scares and flickering lights. Sometimes the most disturbing stories are the ones that unfold over years, stitched together by eerie moments we try to dismiss… until we no longer can. Her account, the growing awareness of her psychic abilities, and the unsettling truth that when

Dark Minisode: Demonic Vessels

2025/06/03

Welcome back to this week’s Dark Minisode: Demonic Vessels. Today we have an encounter that in and of itself is quite short, however I simply could not ‘not’ share it with you, specifically after finding out some rather startling, or coincidental, historical information.Hopefully you’ll enjoy this Minisode as much as I did researching and making it. And if, as posited at the end, neither Zach nor his Father have an insight in to the demonic, we’re either dealing with a genuinely infernal truth, or a

Welcome to Dark Realms: La Casa Matisuta. On today's Dark Realms we visit Lima, Peru, to what is allegedly their most haunted house. Certainly if the tales of burnt witches, cannibal-esque massacres and deaths are real it just may be...or is there something, arguably more sinister at work?

Victorian Elegance, Hidden Malevolence

The Dark Paranormal ·

2025/05/29

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.Our 3rd episode delivers one of the most intriguing set of circumstances I believe we’ve covered in what, at first glance appears a standard ghost tale, but taking everything in to account, I believe this is anything but. My reasoning as to why I believe in this experience is given at the end, but what can’t be argued is when I first read this email, I took stock of every second-hand item I owned and pondered its past life. I’d defy anyone to hear “Carla’s”

Welcome to this weeks Dark Minisode: Catherine, Samuel…& The Devil.Today we hear from “MJ” (pseudonym), who recounts a litany of some of the most terrifying things ever crammed into one minisode. Ironically, “MJ” questions if her experience is “dark enough” to make it on the show, and I think you’ll agree with me when I say a few moments into her experience the answer is a resounding yes.Stay safe,Kevin.By making the choice of joining our Patreon team now, not only gives you early Ad-Free access

Welcome back, to our 20th Season of The Dark Paranormal. Our second episode of Season 20 takes us to one of the most spiritual of places in England, Glastonbury.After a couple decide to move to greener pastures something decides to move in with them too, ‘in’ being the key word. For years now we’re told of the strong links between faith, religion and the battle against the darkness. But perhaps sometimes causation is not required? And maybe, even a simple thing such as distance is enough to combat

Welcome access to the Debut S20 Dark Minisode: The Following Faceless.Today’s minisode is literally one of the most paranormally packed minisodes I believe we’ve ever covered. Chey, as fate would have it, shared her experiences this very day I recorded them, whilst back and forthing on what was previously going to take it’s place, it was ‘good’ but something I cant put my finger on was telling me not too…and then Chey’s email popped up, and I hope, like me, you’re glad it did.Stay safe,Kevin.Joining

Welcome back, to our 20th Season of The Dark Paranormal. We begin our anniversary season with an update from one of our most memorable, talked about and emotional experiencers today, Alex from “Demon On My Shoulder” (S15, EP5). I would encourage everyone, although not fully required, to re-visit that episode in order to grasp certain references and the whole gravitas of Alex’s situation.

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. For our Season 19 Finale, Sam walks us through her experiences with things she doesn’t assume a name for, but her whole experience seems to encapsulate many of the theories about what causes these phenomena throughout this season, from trauma to possible psychic gifts, and of course “staring into the abyss”. Also, as rare as these episodes are, Sam provides potential evidence for at least one of the encounters discussed.Joining our Patreon team not only gives

Dark Minisode: A Dark Presence Awakens

The Dark Paranormal ·

2025/04/22

Welcome to our final Dark Minisode of Season 19.Belief, especially in the field we investigate on this show, is a very malleable item. Not so in the world of religion. Indeed, when both of these worlds collide, the results can land on the furthermost point of belief, and everywhere in between. However, as people have commented throughout time, belief itself can be the most powerful thing there is, both in a positive, and deeply negative reality. Today’s experience skirts with this very notion, in a

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. For our penultimate episode of Season 19 we have a truly heart wrenching and brutally honest re-telling of Kevin’s childhood upbringing in a turbulent environment. As we well know by now, turbulent emotions seem to be one of the biggest factors in certain hauntings, but its so interesting to hear the now 58-year-old Kevin describe how his young mind sought answers to what he was experiencing, despite the terror of the situation.Joining our Patreon team not only
