Supernatural Occurrence Studies Podcast

Welcome to the Supernatural Occurrence Studies podcast, a chaotic carnival of the weird and the wicked.  Here, Jason Nhyte and Oscar Spectir, two veteran ghost hunters and podcasters with a penchant for the macabre, peel back the layers of reality to expose what lurks beneath.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill paranormal fluff; this is deep research, real hauntings, and the raw underbelly of the supernatural.  Where ghosts rattle the chains of the past, aliens haunt the night skies, conspiracy theories unravel everything you think you know, and serial killers leave trails colder than a graveyard breeze.

Broadcasting from the gritty streets of Chicago, Nhyte and Spectir drag you to haunted houses, cursed hotels, and places better left forgotten, dissecting every creak, every chill, and every gut-wrenching tale.  Each episode isn’t just audio; it’s a sensory overload of videos and photographs, dragging you into the depths of their research.

Every episode invites you to confront the chaos, to question what you think you know.  So, buckle up. The truth is out there, and it’s more twisted than you can imagine.  This isn’t just a podcast; it’s an experience.  Welcome to your new obsession.
