On a cold winter night in 1978, five men from Yuba County, California traveled to nearby Chico to see a UC Davis Aggies basketball game. None of them returned. What should have been a quick road tripturned into a mystery that has lasted for over 40 years. Their car was found abandoned 2.5 hours away in the opposite direction that would have taken them home. Their disappearance has baffled law enforcement for decades and the mystery has never been solved. In this first of a three-part series, I'l...

ParaReality is back after a brief hiatus. I haven't just been sitting around doing nothing, however. I'll tell you what I've been up to in time. But for now, I'll only say that I'm very happy to be back behind the mic. One of the things that I did was attend the first annual Dogman and Cryptid Conference in Paris, TN. This conference was hosted by the guys at Paranormal Round Table, and as you can guess, centered mainly around the Dogman phenomenon, but had a couple of other cryptids thrown in t...

Joining me in the Secret Bunker tonight is my part-time co-host and good friend, Eric. And making her debut on ParaReality is his sister, Erin. Together, they host their own podcast called The World We Live In. There isn't a topic for tonight's episode. We're basically having a fun discussion from a "paranormal grab-bag" of items. Just a few of the things we discuss are Chemtrails, flouride in the water, time slips, and strangely enough, Erin's love life! To learn more, you'll have to Turn On, T...

Just before the COIVD-19 pandemic hit in early 2020, Eastern Colorado was center stage for a kind of whodunnit. Ranchers, farmers — and even a few deputy sheriffs — described mysterious drones flying in the night skies. There are consistencies among the eyewitness reports that suggest these drones possessed longer flight times than most off-the-shelf UAVs. The witness testimony appeared legitimate enough to local and state law enforcement, and the FAA, to take the sightings seriously. But as qui...

Paranormal hotspos have given us lots of fantastic evidence of the paranormal, from pictures of mysterious orbs, class A EVPs, videos of strange mists, abnormal EMF readings, unexplained temperature changes and even the elusive full-bodied apparitions. But are these places now in danger of losing all these paranormal events that made them famous because the paranormal community is investigating them too much? Are paranormal investigators literally sucking the life-force energy out of the ghosts ...

Of the many strange encounters in the world of the paranormal that we discuss on this show, there are often those that serve to be particularly strange and unusual. Among these bizarre accounts are tales from all over of what appears to be some sort of thin, pale beings, often hunched over, crouching, and crawling, that have come to be collectively known as “Pale Crawlers,” and which are every bit as creepy as you might imagine. What are they? Where did they come from and most importantly, what ...

Tonight’s episode is all about Bigfoot. Rather, its all about the paranormal side of the big, hairy creature. Did you know that Bigfoot can telepathically communicate with us, shape-shift, de-materialize at will or cause you to have an experience of lost time so you think they de-materialized, live in another dimension, contact, live with, or possibly be an alien, and has lived here longer than the human race? According to a growing number of researchers, this is all true. Learn more about your ...

Tonight's episode of ParaReality will be taking a look at the seemingly endless number of people, agencies and diploma mills who are offering "certifications" as Paranormal Investigators or "degrees" in Parapsychcology or Paranormal Sciences. Are these legitimate degrees and certifications, or are they simply worthless pieces of paper? Should paranormal investigators even waste their time obtaing them? Does it make them appear more legitimate or trustworthy? Does the public even care? I'll be an...

The other day I was looking through my collection of Zecharia Sitchin books and that got me to thinking about the Sumerian Flood Myth and how it predates the Biblical Deluge tale by around a thousand years. As I was thinking about this, I slowly began to realize that there are more than just those two tales of a great deluge – there are, in fact, several. The Biblical Deluge tale is no-doubt the best known of them, but did you know that all other tales of a great deluge predate the Bible? Not on...

Since SARS-COV-2, otherwise known as COVID-19, first popped onto the scene in late 2019, there have been all kinds of things said about it. Some of them are true, some are untrue. A lot of what’s being said about it is deliberate misinformation, especially when it comes to the vaccine. I’ve devoted more than my share of episodes about COVID-19 and the vaccine. All in an effort to discern fact from fiction, discredit all of the lies and misinformation that have been attributed to it and help tell...

For the Season 15 finale, I’ve decided to stick to my roots and do another ghost-themed episode. But you know me, I can’t do it without putting my stamp on it, either. So that’s why I’m going to do another one of my famous Top-10 episodes. Last week, I gave you a list of my Top-10 least known haunted locations from around the world. Tonight, I’m going to keep it local and give you the Top-10 most haunted locations in the Great Smoky Mountains, right here in my adopted state of Tennessee. To lear...

Thanks to all of the endless number of paranormal shows on TV and streaming services, it really seems like there’s no haunted location that hasn’t been investigated at least twice, and some of them have been investigated to death. I’m sure there’s a handful out there that the masses don’t know about – those secret places, known only to the local paranormal teams, that produce great investigations. We need to keep those places secret, because all the others are in danger of being investigated out...

Last week, I began the countdown of the most haunted locations in all 50 states. I made it through the first 26, so that leaves me with 24 more to go. I didn’t want to make it seem that I was doing some sort of countdown, or that any one place was better or more haunted than the others, so I did it alphabetically. I took you along with me on a haunted road trip from Alabama to Montana and we stopped at the most haunted locations in every state. Tonight, the journey continues and we’ll make our w...

The others, I have not, but I used a lot of research to come up with this list. This is the official ParaReality guide to haunted locations in the United States! To le...

I was recently in San Antonio, TX on some unrelated business last week and I found out that there was going to be a UFO convention taking place while I was there. Not being one to pass on the opportunity, I decided to check it out. It was called the Wonderland UFO Festival and this was its second year. Its more of a local convention, but it seemed interesting. After all, you don’t have to have a global convention taking place for it to be good, right? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit mega...

On the stormy night of November 29, 1980, Granger Taylor left a note for his parents to find. It said that he had gone to board an alien spaceship after recurring dreams had told him he was going to embark on a 42-month, interstellar journey. That night, Taylor vanished. Both his family and the police spent months searching for him, but no one could uncover any leads on where Taylor could be. To this day no one is absolutely certain what happened to Taylor. Rumors circulate that his body was fou...

This episode is the final entry in my Summer Series on mysterious sounds. From deep inside Russia, a transmission has been detected. It’s a monotonous two-tone buzzing. The exact location and purpose of this transmission is unknown. This mysterious transmission has been broadcasting the same repeating signal since 1976! It is thought to be the headquarters of a radio station that no-one has ever claimed to run. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, for the last 45 years, it’s been broadcas...

Do you believe that human beings have a soul or some sort of consciousness that survives after our physical body dies? I do. And I also believe that while our consciousness dwells within our physical bodies, it can be attacked by invisible entities that either want to do it harm, harm our physical bodies or both. There is a vast range of beings and energies that can be “nested” in our aura or within our being, such as souls or energy remnants of deceased people, parts of personalities of living ...

This episode is part 2 in my Summer Series on Mysterious Sounds. Tonight I’ll be investigating the constellation of symptoms that are collectively known as Havana Syndrome. Havana Syndrome is a mysterious illness that was first officially detected at the US Embassy in Havana, Cuba in 2016. From 2016 to 2017, diplomats and staff suddenly developed surprising symptoms like hearing loss, dizziness, and other neurological issues. An investigation was launched, and US officials accused the Cuban gove...

Walk through any cemetery in the world and you’ll find a solemn landscape that honors loved ones that have passed on. Accompanying the inscriptions of names, dates, and family crests are some common cemetery symbols that crop up repeatedly on tombstones.

On this episode of ParaReality, I'll be explaining the meaning behind some of the most common graveyard graphics, and a couple that aren't so common. To learn more, you'll have ...

Can you hear the "Global Hum"? Tens of thousands all over the planet claim they can hear a strange, perpetual background "hum" (sometimes referred to as the "Worldwide Hum"). Many describe it as an ongoing, low-frequency sound like that of a big truck idling a mile away, 24/7. Some areas, like Taos, New Mexico, have been famous for such a hum for decades. What is the mysterious global hum, and is it just noise pollution? The Hum is experienced as a consistent, low-pitched noise, much like the so...

These days it seems that conspiracy theories are permeating our entire existence. Our movies are full of them, they pop up in our television shows, and now, they have made their way into our political system. While it is perfectly OK to believe in whatever conspiracy theory you want, you must make sure that the actions that you do in the name of that theory do not cause harm to people or property. You must be responsible for your actions. This includes the people who are behind the conspiracy th...

Many ancient cultures speak of portals to other worlds and gateways to star systems where their “creators” reside. Conventional wisdom tells us these tales are merely myths and legends. However, recent declassified FBI files have stated that our Earth has been visited by beings from other dimensions and planets. NASA has announced that “portals” do indeed appear to be hidden within the Earth’s magnetic field, making some wonder if the legends of stargates, portals and wormholes may have some deg...

Do you remember those mysterious drones that were flying around the skies over Colorado in December 2019 and January 2020? The story didn’t stay in the headlines for long and the investigation into it didn’t really produce a lot of results. Well, it turns out that the Colorado Drones weren’t the only drones to begin mysteriously appearing in the skies late in 2019. It turns out that drones of unknown origin actually began a lot earlier in 2019; July of 2019, to be exact. They appeared in the ski...

The man who detonated a bomb in downtown Nashville on Christmas morning was carrying out a plan to die by suicide and was not attempting to commit a terrorist attack, according to the final report released by the FBI on March 15. The FBI's report is supposedly the most comprehensive explanation yet of the motives of 63-year-old Anthony Warner, who died in the blast, however in my opinion, it doesn’t really tell us much more than we already knew.

They are big. They are vicious. Some say they are albinos, because of a lack of sunlight. They are the alligators that supposedly infest New York City’s sewer system, slithering through the bowels just under the street level, feeding on rats and rubbish and terrorizing sewer workers armed with guns for self-defense. These gators may be the city’s most entrenched urban myth, one that has permeated pop culture and has become a recurring theme in books, television shows and movies. With every new s...

On Christmas Day last year, a man by the name of Anthony Quinn Warner, better known as The Nashville Bomber, drove his RV right into the heart of downtown Nashville’s historic district and parked it at the intersection of 2nd and Commerce Streets. Once there, he proceeded with an incredibly elaborate plan to blow himself up in a most extreme and violent way. Since then, there’s been an extremely long and thorough federal investigation, and we’ve learned a lot about The Nashville Bomber – like hi...
