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.

The World's Most Haunted Places - The Paranormal Podcast 954
Jeff Belanger returns to The Paranormal Podcast to talk about the newly revised and updated edition of his classic book, The World’s Most Haunted Places. Jeff shares how more than two decades of investigating hauntings have changed the way he thinks about ghosts, from something he once believed he could define fairly neatly to a mystery that now seems far more complicated. We explore what makes a place truly haunted, the difference between residual and interactive hauntings, and why locations marked by tragedy and history seem to generate stories that endure for generations. We also visit some remarkable haunted locations around the world, including the White House and its enduring Abraham Lincoln stories, Alaska’s historic Alaskan Hotel, Big Nose Kate’s Saloon in Tombstone, the Tower of London, and more. Jeff also discusses how different cultures view ghosts and haunted places, and why the stories themselves may matter even when we cannot explain what is actually happening. Plus, stay through the end of the episode for a special bonus audiobook chapter from The World’s Most Haunted Places, read by Jeff himself.

John Seer - The Paranormal Podcast 953
John Seer joins Jim to share the unusual experiences that he says have shaped his life and changed the way he understands reality. From encounters he still struggles to explain to messages he believes come from a consciousness greater than our own, his story raises some very big questions. What is consciousness? Are we more connected than we realize? And could some of the strange things people experience be pointing toward something larger? Seer shares his perspective on spirituality, UFOs, humanity’s future, and the mysterious source of the insights he says have followed him for decades. His book, Told: Messages From A Greater Conscious Or The Ramblings Of A Madman, explores those experiences and the ideas that came from them.

Jacques Vallée - The Paranormal Podcast 952
Jacques Vallée joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about where UFO and UAP research stands today, and why he believes the subject demands far more than simple answers about visitors from another planet. We talk about his new book, Forbidden Science 7: Final Report, the growing willingness of scientists and universities to take the phenomenon seriously, and the challenge of studying something that may be intelligent, responsive, and far more complex than the ET model suggests. We also dig into government secrecy, the limits of congressional hearings, the complications surrounding classified information, and why Dr. Vallée believes science may need new ways of thinking to properly approach the mystery. Along the way, he reflects on consciousness, human perception, the limits of our own intelligence, and the value of studying older cases instead of chasing every new light in the sky. After nearly seven decades of research, Dr. Vallée says one of the most important things in investigating UAPs is learning how to ask the right questions.

The Detective Who Investigates The Paranormal - The Paranormal Podcast 951
What happens when a veteran criminal investigator turns his attention to the paranormal? Lawrence Lawson joins me to talk about the experiences that took him from a long career in law enforcement into serious paranormal research, beginning with a full-bodied apparition he witnessed as a young correctional officer in Miami. We get into how his detective background shapes the way he approaches strange claims, why he looks for ordinary explanations first, and why investigating the unexplained requires both an open mind and a willingness to follow the evidence wherever it leads. We also explore some bigger questions about what these experiences might actually represent, from ghosts and reincarnation to time slips, parallel dimensions and the still-mysterious capabilities of the human mind. Lawrence shares stories connected to his book, Haunted Indian River County. It’s a fascinating conversation about evidence, belief, history and mysteries that refuse to fit neatly into any one explanation.

Cuisine To Kill For with Amy Bruni - The Paranormal Podcast 950
Paranormal investigator, television personality, podcaster and bestselling author Amy Bruni returns to The Paranormal Podcast to discuss her new book, Cuisine to Kill For: Recipes and True Crime Stories from the World’s Most Haunted Places. Amy explains how the success of Food to Die For led to this follow-up, which features 60 recipes connected to haunted locations with true crime histories, including destinations outside the United States. Amy takes us inside the Paris Catacombs, the Tower of London, the site of H.H. Holmes’ Murder Castle, the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum and other locations featured in the book. We also discuss Amy’s theories about why tragedy may leave an imprint on a place, why she tries to remember victims for how they lived rather than how they died, and some of the recipes that surprised her most, including Shrimp Wiggle, Edgar Allan Poe’s beloved eggnog and baked cod from Boston’s Omni Parker House.

Bridget Marquardt and the Paranormal - The Paranormal Podcast 949
For the 21st anniversary of The Paranormal Podcast, Jim welcomes Bridget Marquardt, host of Ghost Bunny and longtime paranormal aficionado, for a special conversation recorded at Spotify Studios. Bridget traces her fascination with the unexplained back to a frightening childhood experience with the supernatural. She also shares stories from her time at the Playboy Mansion, including the apparition of a woman she recognized, and recalls a terrifying night at Louisiana’s Myrtles Plantation filled with pounding footsteps, unseen activity, and more. Bridget and Jim explore how their understanding of the paranormal has expanded beyond the traditional idea that every ghost is simply a deceased person. They discuss possible connections among spirits, UFOs, cryptids, time slips, elemental beings, reincarnation, near-death experiences, and a larger universal consciousness. Bridget also explains why helping people feel less alone in their experiences remains central to her work, her commitment to highlighting women and other underrepresented voices in the paranormal, and what listeners can expect from her Ghost Bunny podcast.

Science of the Supernatural - The Paranormal Podcast 948
What happens when neuroscience, psychology, and the paranormal meet? Dr. Melissa Maffeo, author of Science of the Supernatural: Critical Thinking for the Mind and Brain, joins Jim to explore how fear, expectation, sleep paralysis, infrasound, and the quirks of human memory can shape experiences that feel unmistakably supernatural. They also dig into near-death experiences, alien abductions, psychic readings, false memories, and the limits of paranormal investigation. Jim and Dr. Maffeo do not agree on everything, which makes for a lively and thoughtful conversation about skepticism, belief, and whether science can explain the unexplained without dismissing the people who experience it.
