Show notes

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.

Today, we have our 2nd ever trilogy ending (hopefully), as we hear once more from the submitter of the 2 "Demon On My Shoulder" submissions, Alex. We learn that the entities they once named the Algea seem to shift, retreat, and then evolve into something far more unpredictable. From unexplained footsteps and impossible door slams, this true paranormal experience explores the frightening line between psychic sensitivity, spirit communication, and possible demonic attachment. As strange validations begin to affect the people closest to them, the story becomes less about one haunting and more about the terrifying question of what happens when a connection to the unseen world opens wider than intended?

Stay safe,

Kevin.

Dark Minisode: Dark Gifts Apr 28, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to this week's Dark Minisode.

In today's Dark Minisode, a self-described skeptic with a career built on data, logic, and measurable truth moves into a converted apartment, hoping for a quiet fresh start. But after receiving a small carved figure from a friend as a housewarming gift, her world begins to fracture. Reality becomes malleable, and a growing sense that something in the apartment is watching from just beyond sight becomes more than paranoia. As friendships strain, sleep unravels, and the atmosphere turns increasingly oppressive, this chilling account explores the terrifying possibility that some things brought into our homes may already be carrying something with them, or in this case, they may bring your attention to something else entirely.

Kevin.

Dark Realms: Bold Street - From Spectres To Time Slips Apr 26, 2026

Show notes

Welcome, to Dark Realms.

Today, after a Patreon suggestion, we step onto one of Liverpool’s most iconic streets and discover why Bold Street has become synonymous not just with culture and creativity—but with something far more unsettling. In this episode, we explore the shadowed history that stretches between St Luke’s Church and The Lyceum, uncovering a layered past tied to trade, exploitation, and lingering unease. Through chilling firsthand accounts of silent watchers, unexplained time slips, and a deeply disturbing encounter within the ruins of St Luke’s, this episode examines why so many believe Bold Street is a place where reality itself can falter. With documented underground structures, persistent local legends, and experiences that defy easy explanation, we ask a simple question: what if the past here isn’t gone at all—just waiting for the right moment to return?

Haunted From The Inside Apr 23, 2026

Show notes

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.

Today we sincerely have one of the most disturbing experiences we've ever received, as an anonymous listener shares a lifetime of frightening experiences shaped by childhood trauma, haunted spaces, astral encounters, spiritual sensitivity, and the terrifying sense that unseen forces can attach themselves to pain we have never fully healed. Spanning ghostly voices, oppressive homes, strange entities, family spirits, and moments that blur the line between paranormal activity and personal suffering, this is a powerful account of survival, fear, and ultimately reclaiming control. A haunting exploration of trauma, energy, spirits, and the truest darker edges of the paranormal.

Dark Minisode: The Stone Steps Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

Welcome, to a Dark Minisode.

Our first minisode of the season finds a listener looking for a quiet life in Keswick, the Lake District, but that life is slowly overshadowed by a series of deeply disturbing events that begin in a renovated garden workshop. What starts as an ordinary discovery in an old outbuilding soon gives way to experiences that challenge one woman’s firmly grounded view of the world, with her three dogs seeming to sense the danger long before she can understand it herself.

Kevin.

Show notes

Welcome back. to the Dark Paranormal.

From a remote lakeside home in rural Quebec to a lifetime of unsettling moments that never quite made sense, this chilling listener submission explores what it feels like to grow up in a place that never seemed entirely empty. In this episode, Kris shares a series of eerie experiences spanning childhood to early adulthood, each one marked by strange disturbances, overwhelming presence, and a darkness that felt far deeper than night itself. A deeply atmospheric account of fear, memory, and the possibility that some places do not let go easily.

Show notes

Welcome, to a Pre Season Dark Realms Special.

Step into one of Britain’s most chilling landscapes as this Pre-Season Special of Dark Realms explores the eerie folklore, layered history, and persistent unease surrounding Cannock Chase. From ancient earthworks and war cemeteries to whispered sightings of black-eyed children, the Pig-man, and wolf-like figures in the trees, this episode examines how one seemingly peaceful stretch of woodland became one of the UK’s most infamous paranormal hotspots. Blending ghost lore, haunted history, and the psychology of place, this is a haunting journey into why Cannock Chase continues to inspire fear, fascination, and stories that refuse to die.

Season Finale: The Jingle Man Mar 27, 2026

Show notes

Welcome, to the season finale. of The Dark Paranormal;.

In this season finale, The Dark Paranormal steps into territory we have never covered before. Over the past months, we were contacted by a support group whose members — people who have faced the darkest moments a human being can experience — began noticing something they couldn’t explain. Something that arrived in the cold. Something that kept them from sleeping. Something they all, independently, came to call the same name. Every account you’ll hear in this episode was shared willingly, by people fully aware of this show and what it stands for, who are each receiving ongoing professional support. This is not an episode built for shock value. It is, we believe, a genuine encounter with what may be the darkest corner of paranormal experience — told entirely in the words of the people who lived it. If you or someone you know is struggling, please find regional support resources listed below. Listener discretion is advised.

Stay safe,

Kevin.

Dark MInisode: Haunted? Or Summoned? Mar 25, 2026

Show notes

Welcome, to our final Dark Minisode of the season.

For the final Minisode of the season, Mars shares a deeply personal account of childhood paranormal experiences shaped by trauma, intuition, and the lingering sense that dark forces can attach themselves to places and people during life’s most painful moments. From shadowy figures and unexplained voices to unsettling energies felt by others around them, this true story explores the possible connection between hardship, sensitivity, and the supernatural, while also touching on grief, survival, and the quiet ways loved ones may still reach back from beyond.

Dark Realms: The Scole Experiments Mar 23, 2026

Show notes

Welcome back to Dark Realms.

In this Dark Realms season finale, we explore the Scole Experiments, one of the most controversial and debated chapters in modern paranormal research. Set in a cellar in the village of Scole, Norfolk, a small séance group claimed to produce astonishing physical phenomena including moving lights, spirit communication, mysterious photographs, apported objects, and possible materialisations, all under the watch of members of the Society for Psychical Research. But were these events genuine proof of life beyond death, or a powerful example of how belief can survive inside flawed conditions? This episode examines the uneasy collision between paranormal evidence, scientific method, scepticism, and hope, asking not only what happened at Scole, but what it would truly take, and mean, to prove the impossible.

Stay safe,

Kevin.
