Strange Chapters Eric Freeman Sims The Unseen Paranormal Podcast is excited to bring you Strange Chapters! A NEW podcast featuring 3 true stories from a different author every Friday. The show is narrated by the host and voice of The Unseen Paranormal, Eric Freeman Sims. Stories include everything from the strange, the macabre, the paranormal, and the supernatural.
