The Paranormal Podcast

Jeff Belanger returns to The Paranormal Podcast to talk about the newly revised and updated edition of his classic book, The World’s Most Haunted Places. Jeff shares how more than two decades of investigating hauntings have changed the way he thinks about ghosts, from something he once believed he could define fairly neatly to a mystery that now seems far more complicated. We explore what makes a place truly haunted, the difference between residual and interactive hauntings, and why locations marked by tragedy and history seem to generate stories that endure for generations. We also visit some remarkable haunted locations around the world, including the White House and its enduring Abraham Lincoln stories, Alaska’s historic Alaskan Hotel, Big Nose Kate’s Saloon in Tombstone, the Tower of London, and more. Jeff also discusses how different cultures view ghosts and haunted places, and why the stories themselves may matter even when we cannot explain what is actually happening. Plus, stay through the end of the episode for a special bonus audiobook chapter from The World’s Most Haunted Places, read by Jeff himself.

John Seer joins Jim to share the unusual experiences that he says have shaped his life and changed the way he understands reality. From encounters he still struggles to explain to messages he believes come from a consciousness greater than our own, his story raises some very big questions. What is consciousness? Are we more connected than we realize? And could some of the strange things people experience be pointing toward something larger? Seer shares his perspective on spirituality, UFOs, humanity’s future, and the mysterious source of the insights he says have followed him for decades. His book, Told: Messages From A Greater Conscious Or The Ramblings Of A Madman, explores those experiences and the ideas that came from them.

Jacques Vallée joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about where UFO and UAP research stands today, and why he believes the subject demands far more than simple answers about visitors from another planet. We talk about his new book, Forbidden Science 7: Final Report, the growing willingness of scientists and universities to take the phenomenon seriously, and the challenge of studying something that may be intelligent, responsive, and far more complex than the ET model suggests. We also dig into government secrecy, the limits of congressional hearings, the complications surrounding classified information, and why Dr. Vallée believes science may need new ways of thinking to properly approach the mystery. Along the way, he reflects on consciousness, human perception, the limits of our own intelligence, and the value of studying older cases instead of chasing every new light in the sky. After nearly seven decades of research, Dr. Vallée says one of the most important things in investigating UAPs is learning how to ask the right questions.

What happens when a veteran criminal investigator turns his attention to the paranormal? Lawrence Lawson joins me to talk about the experiences that took him from a long career in law enforcement into serious paranormal research, beginning with a full-bodied apparition he witnessed as a young correctional officer in Miami. We get into how his detective background shapes the way he approaches strange claims, why he looks for ordinary explanations first, and why investigating the unexplained requires both an open mind and a willingness to follow the evidence wherever it leads. We also explore some bigger questions about what these experiences might actually represent, from ghosts and reincarnation to time slips, parallel dimensions and the still-mysterious capabilities of the human mind. Lawrence shares stories connected to his book, Haunted Indian River County. It’s a fascinating conversation about evidence, belief, history and mysteries that refuse to fit neatly into any one explanation.

Paranormal investigator, television personality, podcaster and bestselling author Amy Bruni returns to The Paranormal Podcast to discuss her new book, Cuisine to Kill For: Recipes and True Crime Stories from the World’s Most Haunted Places. Amy explains how the success of Food to Die For led to this follow-up, which features 60 recipes connected to haunted locations with true crime histories, including destinations outside the United States. Amy takes us inside the Paris Catacombs, the Tower of London, the site of H.H. Holmes’ Murder Castle, the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum and other locations featured in the book. We also discuss Amy’s theories about why tragedy may leave an imprint on a place, why she tries to remember victims for how they lived rather than how they died, and some of the recipes that surprised her most, including Shrimp Wiggle, Edgar Allan Poe’s beloved eggnog and baked cod from Boston’s Omni Parker House.

For the 21st anniversary of The Paranormal Podcast, Jim welcomes Bridget Marquardt, host of Ghost Bunny and longtime paranormal aficionado, for a special conversation recorded at Spotify Studios. Bridget traces her fascination with the unexplained back to a frightening childhood experience with the supernatural. She also shares stories from her time at the Playboy Mansion, including the apparition of a woman she recognized, and recalls a terrifying night at Louisiana’s Myrtles Plantation filled with pounding footsteps, unseen activity, and more. Bridget and Jim explore how their understanding of the paranormal has expanded beyond the traditional idea that every ghost is simply a deceased person. They discuss possible connections among spirits, UFOs, cryptids, time slips, elemental beings, reincarnation, near-death experiences, and a larger universal consciousness. Bridget also explains why helping people feel less alone in their experiences remains central to her work, her commitment to highlighting women and other underrepresented voices in the paranormal, and what listeners can expect from her Ghost Bunny podcast.

What happens when neuroscience, psychology, and the paranormal meet? Dr. Melissa Maffeo, author of Science of the Supernatural: Critical Thinking for the Mind and Brain, joins Jim to explore how fear, expectation, sleep paralysis, infrasound, and the quirks of human memory can shape experiences that feel unmistakably supernatural. They also dig into near-death experiences, alien abductions, psychic readings, false memories, and the limits of paranormal investigation. Jim and Dr. Maffeo do not agree on everything, which makes for a lively and thoughtful conversation about skepticism, belief, and whether science can explain the unexplained without dismissing the people who experience it.

What would it mean to believe you had lived a past life connected to one of history’s darkest chapters? Author Benjamin Carraud shares the story behind Goodbye, Fields of Prokhorovka: Past Life Memories of a Waffen-SS Officer, including the spontaneous memories that began while he was living in China, his efforts to rule out conventional explanations, and the research that eventually led him to the family of the man he believes he once was. Benjamin discusses the emotional weight of those memories, how the experience changed his views on reincarnation, and why he does not consider himself the same person as the officer. Instead, he believes there may be a continuity of consciousness connecting the two lives. NOTE: This episode discusses an alleged past-life experience involving a Waffen-SS officer. Examination of an individual perpetrator’s psychology does not minimize the Waffen-SS’s participation in the Holocaust and other war crimes, nor diminish the suffering of its victims. Both the guest and I reject any glorification of the SS. This interview is simply the author’s account of what he believes to be memories of a past life.

Was Roswell really the first major American UFO crash story? Author Paul Blake Smith joins Jim to discuss a case he believes deserves far more attention than it gets: the reported 1941 crash near Cape Girardeau, Missouri. His book, The UFO Bombshell Before Roswell: Missouri’s 1941 Crash and Cover-Up, explores claims of a downed craft, strange bodies, military involvement, and a local minister allegedly called to the scene under extraordinary circumstances. Jim and Paul dig into the witness accounts, the historical setting of pre-war America, and why a case like this may have stayed buried for so long. Along the way, they discuss possible links to government secrecy, earlier European crash claims, recovered technology, and the larger question of whether the UFO story began long before most people think. It is a fascinating look at an overlooked case that challenges the usual timeline of UFO history.

Artificial intelligence is not a ghost, a UFO, or a cryptid, but it may be one of the strangest and most unsettling mysteries of our time. On this episode of The Paranormal Podcast, Jim talks with A. G. G. Liu, co-author of The Handy Artificial Intelligence Answer Book, about the rise of AI and the big questions it raises about consciousness, control, creativity, and what it means to be human. Could machines ever become truly aware? Are we building tools we can manage, or something that may eventually outthink us? Jim and A. G. G. dig into the promises and dangers of AI, from medicine and scientific breakthroughs to job disruption, cybersecurity threats, AI-generated art, energy demands, and even artificial companions. It is a fascinating, sometimes unnerving conversation about a technology that is no longer science fiction. Whether you use AI every day, avoid it completely, or still are not sure what to make of it, this episode will give you plenty to think about.

Before Amityville, before the Warrens, and long before famous hauntings became part of pop culture, there was the Wizard Clip haunting. Dr. Stan Williams joins Jim to dig into this strange and deeply historic case from the 1790s, where a farmer named Adam Livingston found himself at the center of unexplained poltergeist activity, mysterious fabrics cut into crescent shapes, and a haunting that shook an entire community. Dr. Williams, author of the Wizard Clip Haunting trilogy, shares how a possible film project turned into years of research through courthouse records, church archives, old accounts, and one surprising discovery about a key priest in the story. It is part ghost story, part historical mystery, and part spiritual battle, centered on what just might be America’s greatest haunting you’ve never heard of.

Rock and roll has always had a shadow side, and Richard Syrett joins Jim to explore some of its strangest stories from his new book, Tales from the Rock and Roll Twilight Zone. From the roots of blues folklore and Robert Johnson’s legendary crossroads tale to theories about the Beatles, “Paul is Dead,” and the eerie staying power of rock’s greatest mysteries, Richard looks at why music history seems to attract so many strange rumors, unsettling coincidences, and unanswered questions. Jim and Richard also dig into the 27 Club, the tragic plane crash that changed Lynyrd Skynyrd forever, the mysteries surrounding Elvis Presley’s final days, and the suspicious circumstances some have associated with the death of Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones. It is a wide-ranging conversation about fame, myth, tragedy, conspiracy, and the powerful hold these stories still have on music fans decades later.

Can astrology help us better understand love, attraction, compatibility, and the patterns we keep repeating in relationships? On this episode of The Paranormal Podcast, Jim talks with Canadian astrologer, and author Tracy Quinlan about her book Charting Love with Astrology. Tracy explains how the birth chart can offer insight into romance, marriage, friendship, sexuality, timing, and the deeper dynamics that shape the way we connect with others. This is a fun and thoughtful conversation that goes beyond the usual “what’s your sign?” approach. Tracy discusses why astrology is more about tendencies than fixed fate, how opposites and so-called incompatible signs may actually work together, and what relationship houses can reveal about where love might show up in a person’s life. We also touch on soul connections, relationship patterns, the role of Venus and Mars, and Tracy’s fascinating work with sound.

David Alderton joins Jim to explore the strange and enduring world of mysterious creatures, from unicorns and mermaids to Thunderbirds, dragons, werewolves, vampires and Sasquatch. Drawing from his book Mysterious Creatures: The Truth Behind the Legends, Alderton looks at how folklore, natural history, fear, misunderstanding and real animals may have combined to create some of the world’s most famous legends. This conversation digs into why these creatures still fascinate us, including the possible real-world roots behind ancient myths, the role of wolves and disease in werewolf lore, how vampires moved from superstition into pop culture, and why Bigfoot remains such a compelling mystery in an age when photos and video are harder than ever to trust. It is a fascinating look at the line between legend and reality, and why some stories refuse to die.

Darnella Ford joins us to discuss her extraordinary journeys into the hereafter and the out-of-body experiences that changed the course of her life. After years of meditation, breathwork, and studying ideas connected to consciousness, neuroscience, and quantum theory, Darnella says she discovered that the physical world is only one small part of a much larger reality. She shares how these experiences began, where they have taken her, and why she believes grief, love, and the soul’s survival are deeply connected. We also talk about her book The Next Breath: Life After Loss and Journeys into the Hereafter, inspired in part by the tragic loss of a close friend, and the profound encounters she says followed. From otherworldly landscapes and unusual beings to emotional reunions beyond the veil, Darnella offers a deeply personal look at what she has experienced beyond the body, while also reflecting on how those journeys can help us live with more purpose, peace, and openness right now.

Veteran television producer and investigative journalist Miguel Sancho joins Jim for a fascinating deep dive into the unexplained through the lens of mainstream journalism. Drawing on his years at ABC’s 20/20 and CBS’s 48 Hours, Sancho explains how a skeptic found himself confronting cases that resisted easy debunking. From UFO whistleblowers and military footage to near-death experiences and strange encounters captured on camera, the conversation explores where rigorous investigation ends and genuine mystery begins. Jim and Miguel also venture into bigger philosophical territory, discussing whether science itself is evolving toward ideas once dismissed as impossible. They tackle simulation theory, quantum physics, the afterlife, and the growing tension between skepticism and belief in modern culture. Along the way, Miguel shares some of the most compelling cases he’s examined for The Proof Is Out There and explains why the unexplained may deserve more serious attention than many in the mainstream are willing to admit.

What did the one of the first private astronauts really see during the dawn of commercial spaceflight? In this fascinating conversation, filmmaker Kevin Curran joins Jim to discuss Beyond Blue Sky: The Untold Story of the First Private Astronauts and the extraordinary experiences of astronaut Brian Binnie during the historic SpaceShipOne program. From high-risk experimental flights to mysterious glowing figures just days after a devastating crash, this is a story that blends aerospace history with one of the most compelling UFO encounters we’ve heard in years. Kevin shares the behind-the-scenes story of how the documentary came together, why Binnie chose to reveal his experience, and what other astronauts and test pilots may have encountered over the years. Along the way, Jim and Kevin explore the changing conversation around UAPs, disclosure, and what it all could mean for humanity’s place in the universe. Interestingly, this interview was recorded before the recent UAP file releases. During the conversation, Jim speculated that the Apollo astronauts may have witnessed things they never fully disclosed publicly, based on little breadcrumbs left over the years. Recent revelations appear to lend weight to those suspicions. No psychic powers required, Jim was just paying attention. A remarkable discussion that will leave you looking at the night sky a little differently. Beyond Blue Sky is currently available on Apple TV. Learn more about your ad choices.

Najah Lightfoot joins us to explore the fascinating and often misunderstood world of dolls through the lens of her book The Spiritual Magic of Dolls. We dig into why dolls have such a powerful presence across cultures and history, and how they’ve gone from cherished companions to objects of fear in modern times. Najah shares her personal connection to dolls, how Hollywood has shaped our perceptions, and how can carry emotional and environmental imprints from the people and places they’ve been part of. It’s a conversation that challenges assumptions and opens up a much more nuanced view of these familiar figures. Along the way, we get into the big questions. Can dolls be haunted? Do they really move or communicate in subtle ways? And what does it actually mean to work with a doll in a magical or spiritual context? Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or already a believer, this episode delivers a compelling mix of folklore, personal experience, and practical insight that will leave you looking at dolls in a completely different way.

Jim sits down with astrologer, therapist, and author Carmen Turner-Schott to explore how astrology, past lives, and psychology may be more connected than we realize. Carmen shares the remarkable paranormal experience that first set her on this path, then breaks down how birth charts act as a “map of the soul,” revealing patterns that shape personality, relationships, and life direction. The conversation dives into the idea of astrology as energy, how planetary cycles may influence emotions and behavior, and why even skeptics can be surprised by the accuracy of a well-read chart. We also get into deeper territory, including karma and the possibility that our relationships are rooted in past-life connections. Carmen explains concepts like the North and South Nodes, how they point to lessons carried across lifetimes, and why certain struggles, especially with family or partners, seem to repeat until they are resolved.

John J. Davis was clinically dead for SEVEN minutes and came back! He shares extraordinary account that began with a devastating accident and a medical emergency. What he describes is a vivid journey into what he believes is the afterlife, not darkness, but a place of purpose, connection, and overwhelming clarity. From the very start, his story challenges the idea that death is something to fear and instead offers a perspective that it may be a transition into something far greater. As Jim and John talk, they explore the most meaningful moments of that experience and what it revealed about life, growth, and what may await us beyond this world. Davis speaks about the lasting impact it’s had on how he lives and what he believes we’re all here to learn. It’s a compelling and hopeful conversation that invites you to consider that there is much more beyond this life, and that our time here may be just one part of a much bigger journey. https://johnjdavisnde.com/ Thanks John! --- VIRTUAL CAMPFIRE GROUPJoin our FREE online community at ⁠https://virtualcampfiregroup.com⁠ YOUTUBE CHANNELBe sure to subscribe to Jim’s YouTube channel at: ⁠https://youtube.com/jimharold⁠  JOIN JIM’S SPOOKY STUDIO PLUS CLUBYou can get access to Jim’s entire back catalog of Campfire and a TON of exclusive content with the Spooky Studio Plus Club.

Jim welcomes author Brad Ricca to explore the surprising intersection of Harry Houdini, Abraham Lincoln, and the explosive rise of spiritualism in America. Brad paints a vivid portrait of Houdini not just as a master illusionist, but as a relentless crusader determined to expose mediums he believed were exploiting grief for profit. From dramatic jail escapes to deeply personal attempts to contact his late mother, Houdini’s journey reveals a man caught between skepticism and a yearning to believe. The discussion also dives into the eerie cultural backdrop of the early 20th century, where séances, war-time loss, and political mythmaking collided. Ricca unpacks how Lincoln’s legacy became entangled in spiritualist claims, fueling Houdini’s mission and shaping a broader battle over truth, belief, and deception. Along the way, the episode touches on chilling moments surrounding Houdini’s death, the enduring mystery of his final days, and the lasting question that still lingers today: where does illusion end and something else begin? You can find Brad's book, Lincoln's Ghost: Houdini's War on Spiritualism and the Dark Conspiracy Against the American Presidency, at Amazon: ⁠https://amzn.to/4cO3UXp⁠ Thanks Brad! --- VIRTUAL CAMPFIRE GROUPJoin our FREE online community at ⁠https://virtualcampfiregroup.com⁠YOUTUBE CHANNELBe sure to subscribe to Jim’s YouTube channel at: ⁠https://youtube.com/jimharold⁠ JOIN JIM’S SPOOKY STUDIO PLUS CLUBYou can get access to Jim’s entire back catalog of Campfire and a TON of exclusive content with the Spooky Studio Plus Club.

Filmmaker James Fox returns to the show to discuss one of the most compelling and controversial UFO cases you’ve likely never heard of. We dive deep into the 1996 incident in Varginha, Brazil, a case involving multiple eyewitnesses, alleged military involvement, and claims of captured non-human entities. Fox breaks down the timeline of events, from a mysterious crash and debris field to chilling encounters described by civilians, medical professionals, and even law enforcement. Along the way, we explore why this case has remained largely ignored by mainstream media despite decades of investigation. We also examine the powerful testimony featured in his documentary, Moment of Contact, including emotional accounts from witnesses who carried this story in silence for years. Fox shares insights from his 16+ year investigation, including interviews with a neurosurgeon who claims direct interaction with a living being, and discusses new developments that continue to unfold. Beyond the case itself, we explore the broader implications for disclosure, government secrecy, and whether we are finally approaching a tipping point in public awareness of the phenomenon.

Jim welcomes Jason Offutt to explore the fascinating world of cryptids through his book Chasing North American Monsters. From Bigfoot to lesser-known legends like the El Duende and the terrifying Wendigo, Jason shares stories that stretch across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and beyond. The conversation digs into the surprising similarities between global folklore, including “little people” legends that appear in cultures separated by oceans and centuries. Jason also makes a compelling case that some of these tales may be rooted in real discoveries, pointing to examples where science once dismissed legends that later proved true. Along the way, Jim and Jason highlight some truly bizarre and memorable creatures, including three-toed “Bigfoot-like” beasts that may connect to ancient ground sloths, the infamous Chupacabra, and even a 75-foot “Sharktopus” lurking in Caribbean lore. They also tackle the big question: are these creatures flesh and blood, or something more supernatural? With a mix of skepticism, curiosity, and plenty of wild stories, this episode is a deep dive into the strange creatures that might be hiding in plain sight and why the mystery is far from solved.

In this episode, Jim welcomes back Richard Estep to discuss his latest book Monsters, Myths, Legends, and Real Encounters. They dive into why monster stories continue to captivate us from childhood into adulthood, exploring everything from classic cryptids like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster to lesser-known oddities like the Fresno Nightcrawler. Richard shares how he approached balancing well-known creatures with more obscure cases, and the two explore fascinating stories including the eerie Flatwoods Monster and the ever-evolving legend of the Chupacabra. Along the way, the conversation takes some intriguing turns, including whether any of these creatures could actually exist, why certain monsters endure across generations, and how folklore, psychology, and even medical conditions intersect with these legends. Richard also shares surprising insights from his research, including real-world military planning for a hypothetical zombie apocalypse and the enduring mystery of what may lie hidden in Earth’s largely unexplored oceans.

Fiona Dodwell joins us from the UK to explore one of the most unsettling corners of the paranormal: haunted dolls. Drawing from her book A Cursed Collection of Haunted Dolls, Fiona shares how a research project turned personal when she adopted a clown doll said to carry its own energy! We discuss famous cases like Robert the Doll and Peggy, but also dig into lesser-known stories that are just as disturbing. Along the way, Fiona explains why dolls, with their human likeness and emotional resonance, may be uniquely suited to becoming vessels for unexplained phenomena. From a Japanese doll whose hair reportedly continued to grow after its young owner’s death, to firsthand accounts from collectors who actively seek out haunted objects, this conversation examines whether spirits can truly attach themselves to physical items. Fiona also reflects on whether our own energy can imprint onto cherished belongings, blurring the line between memory and manifestation. Whether you are a skeptic or a believer, this episode invites you to reconsider the objects sitting quietly on your shelves and what they might be holding onto.

Can your hands really say something meaningful about who you are? This week, Jim welcomes hand-reading expert Christopher Jones, author of The Palmistry of Fingerprints: The Secret Patterns Hidden in Your Fingers and Palms. Rather than fortune telling, Jones argues that the hands reflect personality, tendencies, and even how we process the world. He explains why fingerprints matter more than the lines most people focus on, how those lines actually change during your life, and why hand reading may be less mystical than many assume. We also explore the history of palmistry, its surprising connections to medical research, and what your hands might reveal about temperament, motivation, and life direction.

Jim talks with Julie McFadden, RN, known to millions as Hospice Nurse Julie, about death in a honest, open, and surprisingly comforting chat. Drawing on her years in hospice care, Julie shares what people experience at end of life, why talking openly about dying can actually bring relief, and how acknowledging our mortality can help us live with more clarity and purpose. Her insights come from being at the bedside with patients and families during their most vulnerable moments, and they carry the calm assurance of someone who has seen this up close many times. The conversation also moves into compelling paranormal territory, touching on "visioning," deathbed experiences, and moments that don’t fit neatly into medical explanations. Julie recounts stories of patients seeing deceased loved ones and feeling a sense of comfort or presence near the end, including one experience that continues she'll never forget. -- JOIN JIM’S SPOOKY STUDIO PLUS CLUB You can get access to Jim’s entire back catalog of Campfire and a TON of exclusive content with the Spooky Studio Plus Club.
