Season 25 Debut: The Holy Demon Jul 12, 2026

Show notes

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal,

For our debut episode, after a childhood shaped by grief, religious fear and the belief that something evil lived within her, "Sarah" spent years distancing herself from faith. But a chance encounter with a kind elderly priest offered her something she had rarely known: patience, understanding and the feeling of truly being heard. As their unlikely friendship deepens, strange visions, unsettling inconsistencies, and the sense of something altogether more sinister start to enter "Sarah's" world.

Stay safe,

Kevin

S25 Update...Debut Date Change: Monday 13th Jul 09, 2026

Show notes

As the title suggests, despite my best efforts the debut needs to be delayed until Monday 13th for the general feed, and Sunday for the Patreon feed. I ventured in to the “Dunning Kruger” effect with my unfounded confidence in video editing and after 16 hours of flailing have no choice but to wait for our video wizard team member to be healthy enough to deliver the episode you deserve to hear/watch.

Sending the best of all wishes to our (wishes to stay anonymous) team member, your health is infinitely more important than any podcast!

I apologise for the slight delay all, however trust me it’s the correct decision.

Stay safe,

Kev.

Pre-Season Show: Eerie True Tales With The Hosts Of "Beyond The Bizarre" Jul 02, 2026

Show notes

Welcome, to the calm before the storm.

In this special pre-season episode of The Dark Paranormal, we’re joined by the wonderful Charlie and Tyler, hosts of Believing the Bizarre, for a brilliant conversation built around two chilling experiences they’ve brought with them. Each story is shared in full, before we step back and discuss the details, and the lingering questions they leave behind. It’s a relaxed but eerie episode, which I guess is what happens when two shows with a shared fascination mix.

We also chat more about Believing the Bizarre, and of course where you can hear more from Charlie and Tyler, and how to follow or get in touch with them.

Stay safe,

Kevin.

Season Finale: The Dark Relic Jun 18, 2026

Show notes

Welcome, to the Season 24 Finale.

For the Season Finale, an anonymous academic returns from Italy with what appears to be a fake religious relic — a small brass reliquary capsule bought for a few euros at an antiques market in Padova. But when strange disturbances follow her home, she begins to suspect the object was never meant to be admired, opened, or acknowledged. With an intriguing blend of historical mystery and Catholic lore, we ask, what happens when something once sealed away, finally begins to stir again?

Kevin.

Dark Minisode: The Smell Of Dread Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

Welcome, to the Season 24 Dark Minisode Finale.

When one of our more sceptical listeners returns to her childhood home due to her mother's illness, she expected sorrow, paperwork, and difficult memories. What she didn't, was an old presence from her past that seems to re-emerge. Through a familiar smell and an unsettling sense of dread, she is forced to confront emotions she thought had been buried decades ago. Is grief capable of awakening forgotten fears, or can certain people leave something behind that lingers long after they’re gone?

Kevin.

Disbeliever Jun 11, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to the penultimate episode of S24 of The Dark Paranormal.

After the death of her mother, our listener Claire returns alone to the Derbyshire home she grew up in to begin clearing out decades of belongings. In a spare-room wardrobe, she discovers a hidden box containing old letters and a face-down photograph. The letters suggest Claire’s mother had once been involved in some kind of secret arrangement, and maybe something that she helped end. As the house grows darker, the atmosphere shifts, things appear to move, and that night Claire has everything she holds true challenged, leaving her with the disturbing possibility that her mother had spent years managing or containing something she never told her children about.

Stay safe,

Kevin.

Dark Minisode: The Dark Quadrant Jun 09, 2026

Show notes

Welcome, to a Dark Minisode.

On Today's Dark Minisode, our listener Arthur describes being sent into the sealed basement archive of a failed document storage company outside of Leeds, expecting nothing more than dust, barcodes, and forgotten office equipment. But deep beneath that industrial estate, behind a locked security cage, something begins to defy explanation. What starts as a simple anomaly in an abandoned storage floor soon becomes a deeply unsettling encounter with the impossible. Arthur's experience explores isolation, residual energy, abandoned workplaces, and the terrifying moment when a place that should be empty appears to be watching back

Dark Realms: Sandford Orcas Mansion: A Collector Of Ghosts Jun 07, 2026

Show notes

Welcome back, to Dark Realms.

Today we travel to Dorset, England, to explore the chilling folklore of Sandford Orcas Manor — a Tudor house near Sherborne long associated with some of Britain’s most unsettling ghost stories. Known as “the house that collected ghosts,” the manor’s legends include mysterious apparitions, unexplained figures, and disturbing encounters said to have unfolded within its historic walls and grounds. Blending haunted history, local folklore, and atmospheric storytelling, this episode examines how Sandford Orcas Manor became one of Dorset’s most intriguing paranormal locations, where centuries of family history, tragedy, rumour, and fear appear to linger in the stone

Mother, What Possessed You? Jun 05, 2026

Show notes

Welcome back, to the Dark Paranormal.,

Today we have a planned treat, as we give you the English translation of the first ever submission to our Spanish language sister show "Osuridad Paranormal". Today, Ricardo shares the deeply unsettling story of a family conflict that appears to awaken something far darker than ordinary neighbourly resentment. After a dispute with the people living behind their home, Ricardo and his brothers begin experiencing terrifying events in the dead of night, a slow, disturbing change within the family that no rational explanation seems able to satisfy. Blending themes of curses, witchcraft, family trauma, unexplained illness, and a haunting that feels disturbingly deliberate, we find ourselves asking, whether some grudges can become something much more dangerous — and whether certain things, once invited in, can ever truly be stopped.

Stay safe,

Kevin.

Dark Minisode: A Haunting In Quarantine Jun 02, 2026

Show notes

Welcome, to a Dark Minisode.

For today's Dark Minisode, Zane from Colorado shares his unsettling experience as a live-in manager at a remote alpine property near Cortina d’Ampezzo in Northern Italy. Left alone during the 2020 lockdown to maintain the empty hotel, Zane expects isolation, silence, and the usual groans of an ageing building — but what begins with Zane relishing the opportunity, soon escalates into something darkly atmospheric, claustrophobic, and deeply eerie, this account explores what can happen when an old hotel is emptied of the living… and something else is left behind.
