The Road to Atlantis
September 15, 2021 18:00 - 27 minutes - 19.3 MBThe paranormal world is more than ghosts and cryptids. It is also strange and unusual history and events. Plato wrote of a massive and technologically advanced civilization that occupied a large landmass, a continent that existed thousands of years before his own time. This means it existed long before ancient Egypt and ancient Greece. This civilization was utterly destroyed by a single cataclysmic event that shook the continent and dropped it into the vast ocean. It was called Atlantis....

The Portrait of Loss
January 04, 2021 05:00 - 26 minutes - 18.5 MBAaron Burr is one of the most complicated and problematic of our founding fathers. ON paper, at least the paper we have been left, he is a bit of a scoundrel, but that is not the full measure of the man. His life is steeped in mystery and not only the espionage kind. Aaron Burr has touched the paranormal in more than one way. The story of his greatest love, that of his daughter, is both moving and sad...and a little spooky. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article187025283....

An Unexpected Visit in a Haunted House
November 19, 2020 03:00 - 29 minutes - 20 MBSome places just look like they should be haunted. Mohon Mountain house is one of those places. Yet, despite its massive size and stately facade, the stories of its spirits are vague. A general sense that a place of this age and austerity and glamour must house a few remnants of the past is a romantic notion - not supported even by casual tales. And yet, dear listener, an unknown visitor from another realm was spotted Monday Nov. 16... Support the show

Haunted Forests Sometimes Trees Hide the Moon
March 16, 2020 02:00 - 22 minutes - 15.5 MBForests are places that should scare us. Especially now when we are so disconnected from them. But they always had their dangers. Bears, wolves, predators of all types, including 2 legged ones. But what of the other strange phenomena reported in forests? Do the spirits linger because they died there or is there something about certain places that attract and hold spirits? https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/europe/hoia-baciu-transylvania-haunted-trees-ufo-ghosts-how-to-visit-camping-a...

February 25, 2020 14:00 - 39 minutes - 27.4 MBThere are a few places we are as vulnerable and aware of it as a Hospital. For most of us it bookends our existence.

School Spirits #1
February 18, 2020 14:00 - 46 minutes - 32.3 MBWhy are so many High Schools Haunted? is it because HS is so damn hard? So universal an experience? Or is it just because they are buildings just about 100% of people need to go through? We tried to reach out to find schools off the beaten path, but both Sean Favre and I ended up choosing one school from far afield and one school from good old New Jersey. We ended up doing this via Skype and Kathy's recording dropped out, so as usual the tech side of this is a little iffy. Maybe Paranor...
