This Paranormal Life

History is fun to read — it teaches us about our collective past and what life was like through human history. But occasionally the events threaten to re-write human history itself…

The Airship of Clonmacnoise is small and strange story, practically a footnote in the global history of Christian texts, and yet it is repeated across several books and manuscripts as fact. The story details a craft and its crew descending on an Irish church in 743AD, in a manner that in 2024 sounds a lot like an encounter with extra-terrestrials. There’s only one way to find out. #Invest...

When Allen and Deborah moved into their new home in Wisconsin, they had no idea they would barely make it 2 years before they had to move out. The entire family started experiencing horrible visions and poltergeist activity, that all started when they purchased a second hand… bunk bed

The US civil war was a bloody and brutal conflict that inspired timeless tales of heroism and defeat. What is less known, is that many conflicts took place on some of the most haunted and paranormal locations in North America. It should be no surprise, then, that soldiers from the front lines described seeing a plethora of supernatural entities, maybe none more terrifying than Old Green Eyes. Was it simply a folk tale taken too seriously? Or was something really paranormal happening? Time for Rory and Kit to find out!

In November 1987, a Florida newspaper published a number of strange photos that were given to them by a man named Ed Walters. These photos captured a strange object floating through the night sky, an object that would soon become known as the Gulf Breeze UFO.

But what has been lost in this rush towards modernisation and snooping on your coworkers? How did palmistry work? And was it really paranormal?

In 1938, English explorers were driving through the Congo when something crawled onto the road in front of their car. They rushed for their cameras but it was already too late, the creature had scuttled off into the trees. They didn’t know it at the time, but they had just seen the legendary J’ba FoFi, the giant spider cryptid that’s both deadly and delicious… apparently

But if it is known as an unavoidable accident, why was it predicted years earlier, and even drawn and depicted beforehand by soothsayers? That’s because there is a compelling argument that says the great fire was no ordinary fire, it was the result of a paranormal curse on the city of London. From biblical plagues to raining blood, to the number of the beast 666 in the date itself, somethi...

We’ve all eaten pancakes that taste ‘out of this world’, but what about pancakes that are literally not from Earth? That is the terrifying and delicious reality that Joe Simonton from Wisconsin stepped into in 1961 when a UFO landed and delivered pancakes to him. It might sound ridiculous but what followed was anything but — government involvement, laboratory testing, and local furore as the world tried to get to the bottom of this story. It’s time for Rory and Kit to investigate.

It sounds far-fetched and yet like much of ancient Britain the land was once ruled by pagans, many of whom practiced a druidic religion which may have involved human sacrifice. Some say it’s because of that ancient history that Leicester’s Humber Stone has come to be cursed. Ghost sightings, spontaneous combustion, and possession have all been reported in this small region of Leicestershire. What is going on? And is it paranormal? It’s time for...

One November evening in 1974, a group of children spotted a mysterious light streaming across the sky. The kids watched as it jetted from the clouds and CRASHED into a nearby pond, sinking down below the water, where it continued to glow for 9 hours. It wasn’t long before the small town was flooded with press and Ufologists, as Carbondale had just become the site of a UFO crash.

Canada is big. So big in-fact that it’s easy to hide things there. Don’t believe me? Maple syrup wasn’t bottled and sold around the world until the 1950s — THAT’S how secret they can keep things. So as it turns out it’s a great place to be a UFO with wide, vast, open plains and mountain ranges to fly around without being spotted. Except in 1975 I guess one of those UFOs screwed up and visited Manitoba, where it became a kind of local celebrity known as ‘Charlie Red Star’. What fo...

Soon, the entire town would be gathered at 237 Church Street, and the residents inside would be fighting for their lives...

England is a very weird place — a place where they bake beans and then eat them for breakfast? A place where football has replaced religion? A place where they hold an annual competition where you chase a wheel of cheese down a hill? It’s borderline an alien planet when you think about it. But of course the weirdness doesn’t stop there, it bleeds into the paranormal as well, in-fact some of the country’s most ancient supernatural phenomena has almost been forgotten, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t alive and well today. Today we’re talking about...

Human beings are beautiful, complex creatures. But despite our differences we can all agree on one thing - trains are awesome. They’re fast, efficient and their roofs are home to some of the best fight scenes in action movies. That’s why back in the 1960’s, America had gone train-mad, building tunnels and tracks all across the country… but one of those tunnels may have gone a little too deep, uncovering a dark paranormal mystery that only got stranger the deeper they went. This is the story of the HOOSAC tunnel.

But one of those 80 successful targets was very different to the others… Described by Baron and his comrade as an ‘upside-down saucer with a row of orange lights’, it sparked a paranormal mystery in the midst of the Great War — did Germany just shoot down a UFO?

Workers tried to ignore it... but before long, lights were exploding in their sockets, strange electrical surges were bursting through the building and huge objects were coming to life and moving around the office. Was this the wrath of an angry poltergeist? And if so, why did the paranormal activity only take place from 9-5?

China is home to innumerable paranormal entities, from ghosts and ancient spirits to cryptids and UFO encounters, but one entity stands out in notoriety far beyond the others — The Yeren.

But if that’s the case, why did the Chinese Communist Party spend millions of dollars in the 1970s trying to track down and then cover up the existence of the Yeren? This is the the rarely heard story of a cryptid finding itself at t...

Christmas is the most magical time of the year and, as it happens, it’s also one of the most paranormal… 

Christmas marks the winter solstice, the darkest day of the year when the veil between the world of the living and the dead is most thin. This is why for hundreds of years people gathered around the yule log to share ghost stories on Christmas Eve. One of the most shocking and believable tales is that of the Brown Lady of Raynham hall, set at Christmas time. Time for Kit and Rory to investigate.

Did you know that there's an entire book written about the strange and terrifying creatures seen by the early lumberjacks of North America? There are dozens of 'fearsome critters' that have terrorized locals over the years... but few are more bizarre than the Central American WHINTOSSER.
