I collect first-hand paranormal encounters that I find and present them with genuine interest, casual analysis, and correlating folklore. My intention is to curate tales that highlight the aspect of human experience that I find most interesting–the otherworldly and unexplainable. For as long as there have been humans, there have been fairies, ghosts, strange animals, supernatural abilities, and stories about them.The classic setting in which these tales are told are by the fire. Consider this your digital hearth-side.

#106 ✶ Goblinoid encounters – dancing trolls, roadside goblins, and bedroom pukwudgies
In this episode I will be reading ‘goblinoid’ encounters. These stories involve sightings of little creepy beings that are similarly described under various names; goblins, leprechauns, trolls, duendes, pukwudgies, etc. People claim to have seen them in the bathroom, crossing the road, climbing onto roofs and into beds. Listen in to hear these personal experiences that I’ve collected from reddit.✶ Check out my blog where I write about Irish folklore, here.✶You can contact me at goblinkwain@gmail.comMusic by goblin kwain

#104 ✶ Zombie heads, green babies, and Halloween house elevators
Tonight I am reading several stories of first-hand paranormal encounters... or are they? These are accounts I've flagged for potentially being fiction passed off as genuine. The subject matter (living severed heads, mechanical green babies...) seems almost a little too far-fetched to be true, even among supernatural experiences. But I could be wrong! Listen and let me know what you think.✶ Check out my blog where I write about Irish folklore, here.✶You can contact me at goblinkwain@gmail.comMusic by goblin kwain

#104 ✶ Monsters under the bed… skeletons, goblins, and long, stretching arms
In this episode I’m exploring a common childhood fear–monsters under the bed–except these encounters really happened. I found over a dozen examples of people swearing up and down that when they were a child something came out from under their bed. The stories I’m reading come from Reddit and the Forteana Forums and describe skeletons, goblins, and hands reaching up at them as they tried to sleep. I find this subject absolutely fascinating, and it plays into one of my supernatural obsessions.Be careful not to let your foot dangle over the side of the bed, and thanks for tuning in. ✶ Check out my blog where I write about Irish folklore, here.✶You can contact me at goblinkwain@gmail.comThe thumbnail is artwork by John Holmes for the 1973 book At the Mountains of Madness by H.P.

#103 ✶ Goblins with capes and men without skin
Tonight I am reading eight stories of strange supernatural encounters sourced from the Fairy Census, Reddit, and the USC Folklore Archives. These accounts feature some of my favorite topics, themes, and motifs in paranormal experiences, so I’m considering this a Goblin Kwain sampler/starter pack.Included are disembodied hands, green ladies, goblins/leprecauns, bizarre childhood experiences and beings seen while driving. There are some really weird and wonderful stories in this episode; and just to be clear, even though this is a sampler of my favorite topics, I have not read these stories previously!So, sit back and enjoy.
