The Field Of The Fae Feb 20, 2026

Show notes

Welcome back to The Dark Paranormal.

During a summer workaway trip in rural Ireland, a listener finds themselves living on an isolated homestead surrounded by ancient sites, abandoned spiritual retreats and Bronze Age ringforts. What began with a storm-torn caravan door, evolves into a series of increasingly unsettling encounters — from oppressive shifts in atmosphere and strange lightning strikes to experiences at a fairy field long fearfully respected by locals. As folklore, geography and personal fear intertwine, this episode explores what happens when the land itself seems to respond to your presence… and when ignoring a warning might not be an option.

Stay safe,

Kevin.

Closet Of Secrets Feb 18, 2026

Show notes

Welcome, to a Dark Minisode.

In this eerie listener Dark Minisode, a university apartment once owned by a lonely old man becomes the backdrop for subtle but deeply unsettling events. What begins as an uncomfortable atmosphere in a narrow corridor slowly unfolds into subtle but chilling unexplained phenomena — leaving lasting questions about what may have lingered there. Was it imagination, stress… or something that refused to be ignored?

The Living Frequency Feb 13, 2026

Show notes

Welcome back to The Dark Paranormal.

What if some hauntings aren’t about fear — but about being heard? In this deeply personal account, a listener shares a lifetime of encounters with the unseen, beginning with an extraordinary experience at the bedside of a dying parent and unfolding into years of unexplained activity, unsettling encounters, and moments of unexpected protection. As the story moves through grief, disbelief, and reluctant awareness, it raises unsettling questions about why some spirits linger, what they may want from the living, and whether ignoring them carries its own terrifying consequences

Dark Minisode: Where Evil Feeds Feb 11, 2026

Show notes

Welcome, to a Dark Minisode.

Today, a care worker shares an ongoing experience from an old residential facility with a deeply troubling history, where unexplained activity has become part of the nightly routine. From unsettling sounds and oppressive atmospheres to recordings that raise more questions than answers, this account explores the emotional toll of facing something you can’t rationalise — especially when vulnerable people still live within those walls. This episode invites us to consider what might linger in places shaped by long-buried suffering, and what happens when curiosity crosses into dangerous territory.

Dark Realms: Guy Lyon Playfair - Beyond Enfield Feb 09, 2026

Show notes

Welcome back, to Dark Realms.

In this episode, we look beyond the Enfield headlines to explore the extraordinary wider career of Guy Lyon Playfair, the Cambridge-educated journalist and psychical researcher most famously associated with the Enfield poltergeist. However, long before Enfield, Playfair was immersed in some of the most violent and disturbing poltergeist cases ever recorded during his investigations in Brazil in the early 1970s, where first hand encounters with rapping sounds, flying objects, spontaneous fires and physical attacks transformed him from skeptic to investigator. Today we look at two terrifying cases, and argue that history has unfairly reduced Playfair to a single case, overlooking a career spent confronting some of the darkest and most compelling mysteries in modern paranormal research.

Stay Safe,

Kevin.

The Bedroom Feb 06, 2026

Show notes

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.

Today, we hear from a retired couple who finally achieve their long-held dream of starting a new life in southern Spain—only to discover that their idyllic villa holds a deeply unsettling secret once night falls. What begins as a warm, welcoming home slowly gives way to a pattern of strange disturbances, shared experiences, and an eerie nightly ritual that defies logic and reason. This account explores the terror of not being believed, the danger of rationalising the impossible, and the moment when denial is no longer an option.

Dark Minisode: Haunted By Disbelief Feb 04, 2026

Show notes

Welcome, To A Dark Minisode.

On Today's Minisode, a lifelong sceptic recounts how a series of increasingly disturbing incidents inside a shared home slowly eroded his relationship, his certainty, and ultimately his sense of reality. What began as whispered sounds and strange coincidences escalated into moments that challenged everything he thought he understood about grief, love, and the unseen. This is not a story about chasing ghosts, but about what happens when belief is dismissed.

Beyond The Gate Jan 29, 2026

Show notes

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranomal.

Today, a firefighter from Northwest Indiana shares the true account of a place so steeped in violence, ritual, and tragedy that merely entering it felt like crossing into something else entirely. What begins as a daytime exploration of a notorious road quickly becomes an experience that refuses to stay contained—spilling into dreams, relationships, grief, and the deepest corners of the mind. This is a story about thresholds, unseen presences, and the terrifying possibility that some encounters don’t end when you walk away. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

Dark Minisode: The Nun Jan 28, 2026

Show notes

Welcome, to your Debut Dark Minisode of this season.

On your debut Dark Minisode for today, a retired police officer shares a chilling true account from his time working at a Victorian-era police station in the northwest of England—an active station with a long-standing reputation among staff for something they rarely discuss openly. What begins as harmless workplace folklore soon gives way to a series of unsettling encounters centred around a forbidden stairwell, a recurring apparition, and an atmosphere that defies rational explanation. Told with calm authority and quiet dread, this minisode explores skepticism, shared secrets, and the moment when professional logic fails in the face of the unexplained. A stark reminder that some buildings carry more than history—and that belief isn’t always a choice.

Kevin.

Rose Hall Great House - Jamaica Jan 26, 2026

Show notes

Welcome, to Dark Realms,

Perched above the Caribbean Sea, Rose Hall Great House is one of Jamaica’s most infamous historic landmarks, where beauty, brutality, and legend collide. In this episode of Dark Realms, we explore the shadowed history of Rose Hall Great House—a grand Georgian mansion built in the 18th century and forever marked by tales of cruelty, rebellion, and dark folklore. From whispered accounts of restless spirits and unfinished rituals to enduring rumours of black magic and vengeance, Rose Hall has long been considered one of the most haunted places in the Caribbean. Without revealing what awaits within, this episode examines how history, suffering, and belief have fused to give the house its chilling reputation—and why, centuries later, its atmosphere of dread still refuses to fade.

Kevin.
