Roundtable: Kenneth Arnold's Legacy to the Cottingley Fairies

Thu, 10 Sep 2026 10:30:00 -0400

Paul (HauntedVermont.org) brings his talking points to a crossover episode with Gabrielle and Jody (Podcast of the Paranormal) and Heather (NVUSAlien.com). This roundtable discussion maps out the history of the modern UFO phenomenon starting from Kenneth Arnold's historic 1947 Mount Rainier sighting, noting possible military secrets, modern declassified UFO/USO videos, and historical anomalies before pivoting into the Cottingley Fairies, the creative roots of the hoax, and the power of collective consciousness.

Extraterrestrials and the Fae: We think they may be one in the same. If you have a story about fairies or extraterrestrials, reach out to us. Do you think Joe Simonton's pancakes were aliens thanking him for water or fae offering him food?

Dark Skies, Deep Theories, and our Consciousness as an Instrument of the Phenomena

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 10:30:00 -0400

Under the pristine darkness of Pennsylvania’s dark sky preserve, we turn our focus outward to the stars and inward to the mystery of human consciousness. In this episode, we dive deep into an Estes Method session and unpack what happens when field research meets high strangeness. Drawing clear parallels to Jacques Vallée’s Control System hypothesis and Carl Jung’s collective unconscious and archetypes, we explore how these theoretical frameworks reshape our understanding of raw sensory responses in the dark.

Finally, we reflect candidly on the subtle, personal pressure this work exerts, asking what this phenomenon is ultimately asking of us as observers, and how it challenges us to expand our boundaries.

Do you think that we, as humans, are a necessary component in the paranormal?

A Near-death Shadow Entity: Guardian or Warning?

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 10:30:00 -0400

Courtney describes a warning she received from an inner voice that was not hers, and a seemingly connected shadow entity that she encountered around a series of unfortunate events in her life. The presence feels mostly positive, but activity intensifies every year near the anniversary of those events. We talk about how the paranormal seems attracted to people going through major transitional changes in their lives, and we discuss boundary-setting and journaling as a means of coping and moving forward.

Guardian or ominous warning? Let us know what you think.

Phantoms, Fairies, Strange Lights, and Bigfoot: A Mixed Bag of Paranormal Phenomena

Thu, 21 May 2026 10:30:00 -0400

Colleen Coffman, a paranormal investigator, artist, and writer, sits down to talk about some of her experiences that inspire her creativity. Some of her experiences include glowing “cigar cherry” lights in a bush near the fence-line, huge fairy rings, light phenomena with trilling sounds, and a menacing shadow figure stalking her near a fence-line. She shares a Bigfoot-like encounter in a tent near the wood-line where everything suddenly went silent. She heard heavy bipedal footsteps accompanied by a light anomaly and a strange rotten smell before it all went away like it had never been there. Colleen moves on to describe a negative entity that appeared as a well-known horror movie baddie, which followed her for months.

Colleen also mentions that there have been EVPs in her recording with other shows. We thought this would be a neat little ways for you, our audience, to take part and see what you may find. Please, reach out and let us know if anything jumps out in the audio.

The Unintended Episode: Reframing Our Journey Into the Paranormal

Thu, 07 May 2026 10:30:00 -0400

In late February 2026, we hit a wall. In an effort to break through that creative block and embrace a fresh perspective, we decided to just sit down and record our unscripted, unfiltered thoughts. While we didn't originally intend to release this conversation, we realized it offers a rare, personal look at who we are and how our understanding of the paranormal has evolved.

Join Gabrielle and Jody as they reflect on a year of podcasting and where they see the future of the podcast headed. They discuss theories and ideas and talk about how their perspectives have changed since starting their podcast journey. We're hoping this leads us on an interesting journey and we're thrilled to have you along with us.

The High Strangeness of Bigfoot: The Intersection of Science and Mystery with Ronald C. Meyer and Mark Reeder

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 10:30:00 -0400

Filmmakers and authors, Ronald C. Meyer and Mark Reeder, discuss why Bigfoot defies simple biological explanation, saying witness reports of Bigfoot vanishing, interacting with the environment unseen, and other anomalies lead him away from being an ape in the woods to something stranger. From the Patterson-Gimlin film to Jacques Vallée’s "Control System Hypothesis", we explore how intent and ritual—like investigations facilitate paranormal experiences. Gabrielle and Jody share a recent encounter and the four discuss why humans, unlike AI, are able to thrive in the mystery, and how the phenomena itself gives us just enough, to keep us asking, "What is out there?". Let us know what you think in the comments.

You Asked a Question: Don Hill on the Legacy of Michael A. Persinger and Our Influence on the Paranormal

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 10:30:00 -0400

We are happy to share a conversation with journalist and artist Don Hill about his collaboration with Dr. Michael Persinger and the Koren (“God”) Helmet, which uses pulsed energies to stimulate the temporal lobes. Hill recounts a ghost experience in his Rocky Mountain home and later re-experiencing the same presence and fear in Persinger’s lab, raising whether such events can be created externally or reveal something that's already inherent.

He discusses external factors that may shape paranormal and religious experiences, including geophysical features, piezoelectric effects in stressed granite, infrasound and standing waves, and “space weather” from solar storms possibly correlating with anxiety and common anomalous reports. He references Jung’s view that UFOs, poltergeists, and ghosts increase during cultural tension, and explores epigenetic memory. Hill argues some people may be exceptional “psychonauts”, but emphasizes scientific measurement, and urges collaboration between artists and scientists, using tools like sound and repetition, meditative states, and art to explain how perception can be shaped into reality.

Exploring the Estes Method

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 10:30:00 -0500

How did we get from spirit horns to spirit boxes? We’re exploring a brief history of Instrumental Trans-Communication (ITC), starting with American Spiritualism, moving through the magnetic tape era, and landing on the Estes Method. Conceived at the Stanley Hotel in 2016 by Connor J. Randall, Karl Pfeiffer, and Michelle Tate, it’s a fascinating paranormal experiment and investigation tool. We’ll discuss how to use it and why we love it, while keeping a grounded perspective. Do you use the Estes Method in your own investigations? Do you use similar or modified versions? Let us know!

Bube's Brewery: Exploring Lancaster County's Local Haunt

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 10:30:00 -0500

In this episode, we take a journey to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, to explore the hauntings at Bube’s Brewery, a 19th-century landmark.

We also venture through Lancaster’s unique local shops, from the curiosities at the Lancaster Troll Market to the historic Lancaster Central Market. We wrapped up the night, in the Malt Baron’s Mansion just across the street, where the atmosphere of the town’s historic district lingers long after the brewery lights go out.

The Church

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 06:30:00 -0400

On this episode of "Podcast of the Paranormal," Gabrielle, Jody and Jeff (who was not present at the outing) delve into a wooded area they call "The Church". Jody shares his history with the area, including encounters with mysterious "ghost lights" and auditory illusions from the babbling brook. There's brief discussions of local, unfounded urban legends as they recount their chilling first investigation at the local spot.

After their younger companions left, Gabrielle, Jody, and another former member experienced strange rustling. This culminated in Jody, Gab, and another former team member encountering a terrifying antlered shadow entity crossing the road before charging directly at them. This frightening encounter still leaves Gabrielle fearful of the entity's nature, yet "The Church" remains one of their favorite locations for investigations. The hosts invite listeners to share similar encounters and folklore, especially concerning "man-deer" sightings.

Thoughts on Thoughtforms Part 2

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 06:30:00 -0400

Jody and Gabrielle pick up their conversation with psychic, author, and fellow podcaster Heather Woodward, diving deeper into the intriguing world of thoughtforms and their connection to the paranormal.

The discussion kicks off with a fascinating comparison between thought forms and generative AI. Heather shares her unique perspective, suggesting that just as AI conversations "exist" only when engaged, so too do thoughtforms when given energy and attention. This concept offers a comforting thought: perhaps these entities aren't constantly lurking, but rather brought to life by our interaction and focus.
