    Welcome to Season 2, Episode 6 of The Paranormal Rundown! We have our first return guest this week, Sylvia Shults has joined us for another round of fun filled Paranormal Dork Talk! Sylvia has written many books in the genres of Paranormal Non-Fiction and both Romantic and Horror Fiction. She is also has a podcast called Lights Out. As a librarian, she has deep knowledge on many paranormal (and other) topics, and is an absolute joy to talk to.


    Due to a slight technical (Vic) problem, and a failure by the backup system (Dave), we lost the first 35-45 minutes of the show. Even so, we still wound up with over two and a half hours of excellent discussion. We touch on a ton of topics this episode, including Ghost Stories, Monsters, Yokai and Yurei, Soviet Werewolves, Military Dogmen, The Cole Hollow Monster, Americas Most Haunted Small Town, Faking Dinosaur Footprints, Statistical Analysis of the Paranormal, the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film, The Enfield Horror (NOT the Poltergeist), Dinosaur Ghosts, Animal Ghosts, Psychic Entanglement, Paranormal Hotspots, Ley Lines, MK Ultra, Poltergeists, Sylvia's experience at 30 East Drive, Boo Bear, Haunted Dolls Talking Bad, Aokigahara, Self Mummified Monks, The Poe Museum, Baldwin's Book Barn and Vic's Amish / Quaker Ghost sighting, Hallucinating Up A Haunt, Grave Deeds and Dead Plots, Jenny Wade House in Gettysburg, Peanut Soup, Fabio the Sasquatch Ghost, Sasquatch Canadian Tribe, and we wrap it up with some UFO stories from Vic. This is a great example of a Rundown episode, I think we may have covered more in this one than just about any other! So get comfortable, your going to be entertained for a good long while.



    Be sure to check out Sylvia's books, podcast, contact information at: https://sylviashults.wordpress.com

    Aug 1 2024

    Welcome to Season 2, Episode 1 of The Paranormal Rundown! We are back, and starting off the season with a bang! Tonight our guest is Jim Harold, host of The Paranormal Podcast, Jim Harold's Campfire, and several other podcasts. Jim has been hosting paranormal podcasts since 2005, starting with The Paranormal Podcast, which is the oldest running paranormal podcast on the internet. In addition to his podcasts, he is the author of the bestselling Campfire series, compiling paranormal stories from the Campfire podcasts. The latest book, True Ghost Stories: Jim Harold's Campfire Volume Six, was released this past May.


    Prior to podcasting, Jim worked for over a decade in broadcast radio, honing the skills that make his interviews so enjoyable. That, coupled with almost 20 years of paranormal podcasts, makes Jim the perfect guest for the Rundown! He was able to follow us down all the rabbit holes we could find. The Gang of Nerds all agree that it was a fantastic conversation, and hope to have him back again in the future. We cover topics from Dreams ( Reality, Loved Ones, Pain), Paranormal Impacts on Your Life, Atheism and the Paranormal, Simulation Theory (God's Simulation), AI and the concept of Universal Forms, Ghouls, Djinn, Rosemary Ellen Guiley, Reading and Thoughts Provoking Paranormal Activity, Tulpas, Terrestrial Aliens, Retro Causality, and a brief expansion of last episodes topic on Tachyons. Needless to say, this is a full episode, so please sit back and enjoy!
