The Paranormal People Podcast

Tonight’s guest is John from Chicago, Illinois. John’s experiences began as a young child, seemingly when his older brother invited ‘something’ in while experimenting with a Ouija board. Whatever ’it’ was, it attached itself to John and stayed with him for over 10 years, causing fear, turmoil and terror. Links:Paranormal investigators Ed & Lorraine Warrenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_and_Lorraine_Warren

Send us Fan MailTonight's guest is Alexia, a personal friend who told me about this strange and spooky experience a couple of years ago. I always vowed to have her on as a guest if I ever managed to launch the paranormal podcast I had promised myself I'd make...so here we are!A bizarre and unnerving experience, witnessed not just by Alexia, but a friend too, whilst they were boarders at The Royal Russell School In Croydon, UK. In a show first, I actually managed some post-interview research, which may lend weight to the experience, so keep listening 'til the end! Enjoy!  Support the showThanks for listening!Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE.Have you or someone you know got an encounter to [email protected]://www.instagram.com/lucien_hawke1/Support the show with a few £/$/€ a month:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2186235/supporters/new

Send us Fan MailTonight's guest is Damien O’Dell, a historian, paranormal investigator and author. He’s written many books about haunted sites and regions of the UK. Damien's book ‘Chicksands Priory: England’s Most Haunted House?’ was recommended to me by a friend who told me I'd enjoy it - he was right! We discussed Damien’s personal investigations of the paranormal at the property as well as many, many ghost stories handed down through time. Like to Damien’s website & books:https://damienodell.com/shop/chicksands-priory/https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Damien-ODell/author/B0034ND2LY?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueFriends of Chicksands:https://www.facebook.com/FoCPChicksands/Support the showThanks for listening!Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE.Have you or someone you know got an encounter to [email protected]://www.instagram.com/lucien_hawke1/Support the show with a few £/$/€ a month:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2186235/supporters/new

Send us Fan MailIf you live in a haunted house, the activity doesn't just stop once you've written a  book... In this episode we welcome our first ever returning guest: William C. Grave, author of 'The Lady In The Bay Window', of which there are now two bone-chilling books, a successful stage play, a podcast and even talks of an adaptation for the big screen.William tells us what's been happening at his house, 333 in Sheffield, since the release of the first book, and <spoiler alert>, A LOT has been happening!If you haven’t yet heard my first conversation with William (Episode 8 of the show) I  recommend listening to that before this one, as much of what we talk about tonight has roots in what was covered in that first interview.Links:Buy both books via Amazon:https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/William-C.-Grave/author/B0CLSCS9WX?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1780222016&sr=8-1&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueFind out about the stage production, the podcast, news and more:https://www.theladyinthebaywindow.co.uk/Listen to the audiobook via Audible:https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-Lady-in-the-Bay-Window-Audiobook/B0CZ7VY4Q7Support the showThanks for listening!Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE.Have you or someone you know got an encounter to [email protected]://www.instagram.com/lucien_hawke1/Support the show with a few £/$/€ a month:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2186235/supporters/new

Send us Fan MailTonight's guest is Laura who has a lifetime of eerie encounters to share with us. Laura, though currently living in the UK, is from Honduras in Latin America, a place with an incredibly rich paranormal history. Tonight we hear from Laura about her own perplexing, often chilling experiences, as well as those of her family members in Honduras - in particular those of her Grandpa who worked on steam trains in the 1950s and saw a wide array of inexplicable things: from mysterious glowing objects in the jungle to the apparition of a woman carrying a basket, who would step out in front of the train, again and again.   Support the showThanks for listening!Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE.Have you or someone you know got an encounter to [email protected]://www.instagram.com/lucien_hawke1/Support the show with a few £/$/€ a month:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2186235/supporters/new

Send us Fan MailTonight we’re meeting a real life exorcist, endorsed by the Anglican Church: The Very Reverend Dr Jason Bray. I came across Reverend Bray in a newspaper interview here in the UK. The newspaper was The Telegraph, a very highly respected broadsheet...in other words a serious paper and not the type of place I’d usually expect to stumble upon the paranormal.The Reverend's work is, of course, fascinating and unnerving in equal measure, so I can't wait for you to hear my interview with him. Links to books & articles:Deliverance: Everyday Investigations into Poltergeists, Ghosts and Other Supernatural Phenomena by an Anglican Priest - Rev Jason Brayhttps://amzn.eu/d/04w4H1tWhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c748xrvz0z7ohttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/01/30/the-church-of-england-has-more-exorcisms-than-youd-think/Support the showThanks for listening!Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE.Have you or someone you know got an encounter to [email protected]://www.instagram.com/lucien_hawke1/Support the show with a few £/$/€ a month:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2186235/supporters/new

Send us Fan MailHappy Christmas and welcome to episode 14 of the Paranormal People Podcast! This is the final episode of the year before we take a short break to refill the interview tanks and return in 2026 with more fascinating guests.Back in Episode 12, my pal George and I had a wide-ranging, entertaining conversation exploring various branches of the paranormal. We covered everything from spontaneous human combustion and ghosts to time slips… but somehow, we never got around to the subject we both find most endlessly fascinating: UFOs and non-human intelligence.To remedy that, we decided to dedicate a full hour or so to exactly that topic - and this is that show. Perhaps not a standard festive topic but I think you'll enjoy it nonetheless.  Thank you so much for supporting the show in 2025 - I really appreciate it. Happy Christmas, and see you in the new year!Here’s me and George, talking aliens… 👽✨Links:Terry Lovelace  - Incident at Devils Denhttps://www.shortform.com/pdf/incident-at-devils-den-pdf-terry-lovelaceThe Phoenix Lights - Kurt Russell interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok6zPFn42jATravis Walton Experience & Fire In The Skyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_Walton_incidentFuture Human Theory / Dr Michael Mastershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqmv04EiuxsSupport the showThanks for listening!Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE.Have you or someone you know got an encounter to [email protected]://www.instagram.com/lucien_hawke1/Support the show with a few £/$/€ a month:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2186235/supporters/new

Send us Fan MailTonight, I’m joined by Hugh Bernard, the creator of Haunted New Forest, and someone who knows the New Forest in a way most of us never will - not just the footpaths and ancient trees, but the stories, secrets, and shadows woven through them.Hugh’s lifelong fascination with local history and the unexplained began in his teens, and with deep family roots in the region, he’s spent nearly a decade living among the Forest’s villages and absorbing the landscape - not just how it looks, but how it remembers.His work sits at that perfect intersection of history, folklore, and the paranormal. He approaches investigations with curiosity, respect, and a genuine interest in the human stories behind the experiences. For Hugh, it’s not simply about chasing the supernatural, it’s about understanding the fears, beliefs, and imaginations that shaped these tales in the first place.Links:https://www.hauntednewforest.co.ukInstagram@hauntedhistoryhugh@hauntednewforestofficialSupport the showThanks for listening!Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE.Have you or someone you know got an encounter to [email protected]://www.instagram.com/lucien_hawke1/Support the show with a few £/$/€ a month:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2186235/supporters/new

Send us Fan MailIt's Halloween, so tonight's episode is a little different in terms of format: I'm joined by my good friend George (a fellow paranormal enthusiast) to discuss the branches of the phenomena that first captured our imaginations and the cases that keep us hooked to this day. We sat down across a table with the intention of discussing UFOs and aliens specifically but, as you’ll hear in tonight’s episode, we didn’t quite make it that far! In fact, we ended up talking about almost everything paranormal except UFOs! Don’t worry though, there will be a Part 2 companion piece episode at the end of the year that focuses specifically on aliens, UFOs and several famous cases.This was great fun to record and I know you're going to enjoy it.Happy Halloween - Here we go...Links:Ted Serios - the man who could imprint images from his mind onto camera film:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_SeriosKirlian photography:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirlian_photographySpontaneous Human Combustion:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_human_combustionSupport the showThanks for listening!Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE.Have you or someone you know got an encounter to [email protected]://www.instagram.com/lucien_hawke1/Support the show with a few £/$/€ a month:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2186235/supporters/new
