#351 Are Dowsing Rods Real Life Ghost Magnets? Jan 23, 2024

Show notes

You’ve seen it in countless cartoons and movies over the years - a cowboy or other thirsty character carrying two rods through he desert, the sticks seemingly magically have a mind of their own and point in the direction of water. They’re called dowsing rods and go back potentially thousands of years into history. But how do they work? And if they locate water, why do paranormal investigators around the world keep them in their toolkit at all times? It turns out these unassuming sticks harbour a deep paranormal secret. Time for Kit and Rory to investigate!

#350 Mysterious Orb Gives Town RADIATION POISONING Jan 16, 2024

Show notes

The small town of Newmill is known for a lot of things, but after a freak paranormal incident in September 1977, it was only known for ONE thing - a strange floating orb seen by dozens of witnesses in the night sky. The orb was seemingly harmless, floating along the ground and through the treelines. However, days after it's appearance when the locals started falling ill, they realised that maybe this orb wasn't so harmless after all...

#349 One UFO, Ten Thousand Witnesses - The Florence Football UFO Jan 09, 2024

Show notes

Imagine the Super Bowl was interrupted by a UFO hovering over the stadium and Tom freaking Brady was the key witness to the FBI - it would be Christmas Day in the paranormal research community! Yet that's exactly what happened, or at least the equivalent, in Florence in Italy in 1954 when a stadium filled with 10,000 spectators saw a UFO pass overhead and drop what witnesses would describe as 'angel hair' on the pitch and stands. Was it really close contact with extraterrestrials or was it some kind of mass hysteria or natural event? It's time for Rory and Kit to find out!

Show notes

Christmas may be a time of festivity, peace, and goodwill among men but that does not mean the paranormal does not abound…

In fact, Christmas is home to some of the most ancient and insane paranormal tales. For thousands of years, in the dead of winter, humans have gathered in the night around the fire of the yule log to keep themselves warm, but also to tell stories about ghosts. That’s why this Christmas we’re reviving this tradition by bringing you some of winter’s most terrifying tales - so sit back, relax, and enjoy these festive fables!

#345 Santa's EVIL Helper - Hans Trapp, The Christmas Scarecrow Dec 12, 2023

Show notes

When we think of Christmas, usually a few things come to mind - chestnuts roasting on an open fire, giving gifts to loved ones, and of course, Santa Claus. However, what if I told you there was a Christmas legend that's been forgotten over time? The legend of Hans Trapp, the devil-worshipping cannibal that appeared every year to devour naughty children... Time for Rory and Kit, two VERY naughty children to investigate.

#344 Is Shakespeare’s Macbeth Cursed? Dec 05, 2023

Show notes

Macbeth is one of the most famous plays of all time, but did you know that it’s cursed? Legend has it that Shakespeare’s witch dialogue was so realistic he actually stumbled across real spells that cursed the play to this very day, and that just by uttering the word ‘Macbeth’ in a theatre is enough to doom the production. It may sound far-fetched but the long list of victims of the curse says otherwise… So it’s time for Kit and Rory to investigate and find out - is the curse of Macbeth really paranormal, or just superstition?

Whether it's using ouija boards, EMF readers or simply channeling energy with a medium, Kit and Rory are about to tackle the mysterious world of séances.
