Join us as we uncover the spine-tingling legends that permeate this location, and prepare yourself for a haunting exploration into one of Canada’s most terrifying...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. They say some people are born more open to the unseen. For one listener, that openness became a lifelong sentence. Haunted homes, sleep paralysis, prophetic dreams, demonic visions, and something far darker lurking behind the familiar. But when a malevolent force begins to manipulate reality itself, it became clear: this entity wasn’t just passing through — it was watching, waiting, and following. To me, this feels like a 100% genuine story of ancestral sens...

Welcome to this weeks Dark Minisode: Mirrored In The Crawlspace Today, one of our new Patreons gives us the origin point of a trilogy of tales. A haunting collection of connected experiences that blur the lines between sleep, spirit, and self, things turn from strange to truly sinister. With a background in the occult and lucid dreaming, our anonymous submitter takes us inside a life of eerie insight, escalating nightmares, and chilling encounters with the unexplained. Welcome to a place where n...

Welcome this weeks Dark Realm, the beautiful, and terrifying "Plas Teg". This jacobean mansion in the heart of North Wales apparently holds 15 ghosts and today, we'll take a closer look at a few of them. But with so many to choose from, this could be the first Dark Realm we return some point in the future.

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. Just when I thought recent experiences have been so good (in a terrifying why) that there eventually needs to be a drop in calibre, we read a submission that was so breath taking I was talking about it with friends immediately after reading it. The theories around how thin the veil may appear to those unfortunate enough to experience dementia are as old as they are interesting. Today, if there was an experience to add weight to those theories. They do not co...

Welcome to this weeks Dark Minisiode. Bethany today provides a minisode which is straight from a nightmare, yet genuinely believable. Her sister (Margo) gave her permission to share her experience as a health care worker. The experience she had whilst starting her career in home help, was one that literally changed her life, and career. Stay safe, Kevin.

Welcome to this weeks Dark Realms. Today, thanks to a suggestion from our listener Candice, we step our virtual foot in to the Monte Cristo Homestead. And in all sincerity, considering its relatively short lifespan in comparison to other locations we've covered, this may just be THE darkest realm we've investigated.

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. Today’s midseason episode is one I’ve genuinely been waiting for you to hear. It’s exceptionally rare I receive anything with attached photographic evidence, and although it’s been requested not to be shared, believe me when I say the experience itself paints all the imagery you need. I’m being sincere when I say that to me this is one of the most believable experiences we’ve had, and therefore, one of the most terrifying. I hope you enjoy this as much as I ...

Welcome to this week’s Dark Minisode. Today, an anonymous contributor gives us a chronological re-telling of their journey from a mere “interest” in the occult, to moving on to the use of Pendulums. After this experience leads to negativity, our listener fails to heed certain warnings about everyone’s favourite “Talking Board” …and quickly learns the error of their ways. Stay safe, Kevin. YES, you heard correctly, for the month of June ONLY, as a special anniversary treat and a thank you, we’re ...

Welcome back to Dark Realms. Today, thanks to our listener Diaz, we visit a place I'd not heard of before..."Cobia Island". Or, as it's better known as, 'Devils Island". And, after hearing about it, I'm sure you'll see why. I hope you enjoy this glimpse in to a horrific paradise. Stay safe, Kevin.

Welcome back, o The Dark Paranormal. This week’s episode is intentionally a slow burn—but sincerely don’t mistake that for comfort. Emily’s lifelong experiences are a chilling reminder that not all hauntings come with jump scares and flickering lights. Sometimes the most disturbing stories are the ones that unfold over years, stitched together by eerie moments we try to dismiss… until we no longer can. Her account, the growing awareness of her psychic abilities, and the unsettling truth that whe...

Welcome back to this week’s Dark Minisode: Demonic Vessels. Today we have an encounter that in and of itself is quite short, however I simply could not ‘not’ share it with you, specifically after finding out some rather startling, or coincidental, historical information. Hopefully you’ll enjoy this Minisode as much as I did researching and making it. And if, as posited at the end, neither Zach nor his Father have an insight in to the demonic, we’re either dealing with a genuinely infernal truth,...

Welcome to Dark Realms: La Casa Matisuta. On today's Dark Realms we visit Lima, Peru, to what is allegedly their most haunted house. Certainly if the tales of burnt witches, cannibal-esque massacres and deaths are real it just may be...or is there something, arguably more sinister at work?

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. Our 3rd episode delivers one of the most intriguing set of circumstances I believe we’ve covered in what, at first glance appears a standard ghost tale, but taking everything in to account, I believe this is anything but. My reasoning as to why I believe in this experience is given at the end, but what can’t be argued is when I first read this email, I took stock of every second-hand item I owned and pondered its past life. I’d defy anyone to hear “Carla’s” ...

Welcome to this weeks Dark Minisode: Catherine, Samuel…& The Devil. Today we hear from “MJ” (pseudonym), who recounts a litany of some of the most terrifying things ever crammed into one minisode. Ironically, “MJ” questions if her experience is “dark enough” to make it on the show, and I think you’ll agree with me when I say a few moments into her experience the answer is a resounding yes. Stay safe, Kevin. By making the choice of joining our Patreon team now, not only gives you early Ad-Fre...

Welcome to our debut episode of Dark Realms for Season 20. And as it's a special season, we will begin with the most requested place to cover that we've received in our inbox, the infamous Gettysburg. A huge thank you to all those who suggested it, it was an education to research this to say the least, and possibly opened a few more rabbit holes along the way.

Welcome back, to our 20th Season of The Dark Paranormal. Our second episode of Season 20 takes us to one of the most spiritual of places in England, Glastonbury. After a couple decide to move to greener pastures something decides to move in with them too, ‘in’ being the key word. For years now we’re told of the strong links between faith, religion and the battle against the darkness. But perhaps sometimes causation is not required? And maybe, even a simple thing such as distance is enough to com...

Welcome access to the Debut S20 Dark Minisode: The Following Faceless. Today’s minisode is literally one of the most paranormally packed minisodes I believe we’ve ever covered. Chey, as fate would have it, shared her experiences this very day I recorded them, whilst back and forthing on what was previously going to take it’s place, it was ‘good’ but something I cant put my finger on was telling me not too…and then Chey’s email popped up, and I hope, like me, you’re glad it did.

Welcome back, to our 20th Season of The Dark Paranormal. We begin our anniversary season with an update from one of our most memorable, talked about and emotional experiencers today, Alex from “Demon On My Shoulder” (S15, EP5). I would encourage everyone, although not fully required, to re-visit that episode in order to grasp certain references and the whole gravitas of Alex’s situation. Has Alex finally found the root of the evil which plagued him from huis first experience? And why, by all acc...

Hello all, Normally as a precursor to a Season Debut we release an episode of Dark Bites, however, with this being both our 5th year anniversary as a show, and our 20th Season, we decided something different was in order. Therefore, it was my absolute honour to interview renowned paranormal author, and a true walking database of paranormal phenomena Ruth Roper Wylde to the show to be this seasons appetiser before Fridays Debut. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I enjoyed speaking with R...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. For our Season 19 Finale, Sam walks us through her experiences with things she doesn’t assume a name for, but her whole experience seems to encapsulate many of the theories about what causes these phenomena throughout this season, from trauma to possible psychic gifts, and of course “staring into the abyss”. Also, as rare as these episodes are, Sam provides potential evidence for at least one of the encounters discussed. Joining our Patreon team not only giv...

Welcome to our final Dark Minisode of Season 19. Belief, especially in the field we investigate on this show, is a very malleable item. Not so in the world of religion. Indeed, when both of these worlds collide, the results can land on the furthermost point of belief, and everywhere in between. However, as people have commented throughout time, belief itself can be the most powerful thing there is, both in a positive, and deeply negative reality. Today’s experience skirts with this very notion, ...

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. For our penultimate episode of Season 19 we have a truly heart wrenching and brutally honest re-telling of Kevin’s childhood upbringing in a turbulent environment. As we well know by now, turbulent emotions seem to be one of the biggest factors in certain hauntings, but its so interesting to hear the now 58-year-old Kevin describe how his young mind sought answers to what he was experiencing, despite the terror of the situation. Joining our Patreon team not ...

Welcome to our penultimate Dark Minisode of Season 19, Today, we continue with the paranormal experiences shared with us by our wonderful listener Niki from Fridays Dark Paranormal. And she continues in a similar eerier and engrossing way as we follow her around some of the jobs she has taken up during her life…and the ‘extra employees’ she’s had the misfortune to meet.

Welcome to this week’s Dark Minisode: Who Closes The Gateway? Our wonderful listener Erika provides us with one of our most unique episodes to date. I often talk about ‘Authenticators’, those snippets which jump out and scream truth. This experience however, doesn’t require me, nor my small team to look out for an authenticator…the CIA have already done so, and all but admitted this type of experience is authentic. A genuine question to ask is, as these tools are freely available, are ‘they’, as...

Welcome back, to Dark Realms, After hearing Dr Stevens intriguing account on the most recent "The Dark Paranormal" of his stay at The Crescent Hotel, it peaked my interest to look further in to this majestic building. We've heard the moniker "...Most Haunted Hotel" attributed to several residences, though this may not be " The Most Haunted", It is without question at least one of the darkest.

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. Today we have one of the most intriguing experiences sent in by one of the most intriguing listeners I’ve encountered. Believe me, I think you will agree when you hear what today’s submitter has to say. A sceptic turned believer is one thing, a sceptic with arguments held in the world of science turning believer is something different altogether. Both equally valid, but the complexities and inner turmoil facing both are very different, as you will hear. Join...
