| 10/13/26 |  The Not-So-Scary Guide To Ghosts with Rebekah Carmichael - The Paranormal Podcast 959 | Are ghosts really something to be afraid of, or do we just misunderstand them? Psychic medium and author Rebekah Carmichael joins us to discuss her new book, The Not-So-Scary Guide to Ghosts: How to Make the Paranormal Normal. Rebekah shares how moving into a haunted house helped her reconnect with the spirit world and why she believes ghosts are often more human than we realize. We explore what ghosts actually are, why some hauntings can seem frightening, and how a little understanding might change the way we approach the paranormal. We also dive into Rebekah's unusual experiences involving the legendary pirate Blackbeard, the importance of setting boundaries with spirits, and why she believes psychic abilities are skills that anyone can develop. Plus, we discuss paranormal investigations, dealing with potentially negative entities, and the surprising similarities between communicating with ghosts and dealing with people in everyday life. It's a fascinating conversation that offers a different, and perhaps less frightening, perspective on the spirit world.

| 10/6/26 |  Chasing The World's Monsters - The Paranormal Podcast 958 | Jason Offutt returns to The Paranormal Podcast to take us around the world in search of strange creatures, cryptids, and legends from his new book, Chasing the World's Monsters. We dig into something especially fascinating: why remarkably similar monster traditions turn up in widely separated cultures and across thousands of years. From Bigfoot-like creatures and mysterious little people to Thunderbirds and dragons, some of these parallels are awfully hard to dismiss as simple coincidence. We also get into the big question of where folklore ends and something potentially real begins. Jason shares why he thinks the supposedly extinct thylacine could still be out there, we talk about Thunderbirds and reports of creatures that seem downright prehistoric, and we explore why eyewitness accounts from people who genuinely know the wilderness deserve more consideration than they sometimes get. If you love strange creatures, unexplained encounters, and stories that make you wonder what might still be hiding out there, this is an episode you’ll want to hear.

| 9/30/26 |  Close Encounters of the Police Kind - The Paranormal Podcast 957 | What happens when the people reporting UFO encounters are trained observers whose careers depend on getting the details right? British police inspector Roy Teague joins me to discuss his book Close Encounters of the Police Kind and the remarkable accounts he has collected from hundreds of police officers. We talk about why serving officers are often reluctant to come forward, the stigma that still surrounds the subject, and why Roy believes law enforcement witnesses can bring a uniquely valuable perspective to the UAP mystery. Roy also shares several extraordinary cases, including police helicopter crews encountering unexplained craft over London, officers reporting missing time after a massive triangular object passed overhead, and a bizarre glowing object that appeared to follow a police car before interfering with its radios. We get into alleged abductions, the so-called hitchhiker effect, encounters that seemed strangely aware of the witnesses, and how years of interviewing officers transformed Roy from a skeptic into someone convinced that something very real and very unusual is happening in our skies.

| 9/22/26 |  This Book Will Make You Psychic - The Paranormal Podcast 956 | Can anyone develop psychic ability, or is it something you’re simply born with? Professional tarot reader, deck creator and author Kerry Ward returns to The Paranormal Podcast to talk about her new book, This Book Will Make You Psychic, and her belief that psychic ability may be far more common than we realize. Kerry explains the idea of a personal “psychic fingerprint,” why our intuitive abilities may not look like the classic clairvoyant experience, and how practice, curiosity and a willingness to get past your inner skeptic can help you discover what works for you. We also explore tarot as a tool for developing intuition, crystals, unusual psychic experiences and why paying attention to patterns can help us make sense of things we might otherwise dismiss. The conversation takes a more personal turn as Jim shares an experience that felt like a message from his mother, while Kerry talks about messages she believes she has received from her late father and the remarkable ghostly encounters experienced by her sister, who works in a hospital. It’s a thoughtful and practical conversation about intuition, psychic development and what can happen when we start paying closer attention to the unexplained.

| 9/15/26 |  The Metaphysics of UFOs - The Paranormal Podcast 955 | What if UFOs are about something much stranger than visitors flying here in advanced spacecraft? Dr. Jonathan Kendall, physician and author of The Metaphysics of UFOs, joins me to explore the possibility that the UFO phenomenon may have a spiritual or metaphysical side that challenges the usual nuts-and-bolts explanation. We get into alien abduction reports, the difficulty of separating genuine mysteries from more ordinary explanations, and what Jonathan calls the “5% that shouldn’t exist,” those stubborn cases that remain after the easy answers are stripped away. We also look at the curious way UFOs sometimes seem to overlap with other strange phenomena, from Mothman and Men in Black to poltergeist activity and apparitions. Could these seemingly separate mysteries somehow be connected? Jonathan shares his thoughts on that possibility, along with the changing conversation around UAPs, government documents, the Nimitz case, and how far the subject has come in just the last several years. It’s a thoughtful discussion that leaves room for skepticism while still taking the truly unexplained seriously. You can find Dr. Kendall's book, The Metaphysics of UFOs: Evidential Case Studies on UAPs, Paranormal Phenomena, and Spiritual Experiences, at Amazon.com: https://link.amazon/B08v86dxf Thanks Dr. Kendall! --CHECK OUT ALL OF JIM’S FREE PODCASTS The Paranormal Report - Our weekly paranormal show with Jim & Dar Harold.The Paranormal Podcast - The longest running paranormal podcast on the internet.
