Dark Realms: Athens, Ohio

Starting a new job is unsettling enough without feeling that something from your past has found its way into your present. Our listener Laura had hoped to settle in quietly, keep her private life to herself and leave old grief where it belonged. But after one unusual evening with her new colleagues, memories she’d tried to put away begin to surface, and a series of unnerving experiences leaves her questioning what she’s seeing, what she’s hearing, and whether she should tell anyone at all.Stay safe,Kevin.To send us YOUR experience, please click here:https://www.thedarkparanormal.com/submit-your-experienceFor your FREE weeks access to our Patreon community, please click below:www.patreon.com/thedarkparanormalYou can also follow us on the below social media links:Twitter: www.twitter.com/darkparanormalxFacebook: www.facebook.com/thedarkparanormalYouTube: www.youtube.com/thedarkparanormalInstagram: www.instagram.com/thedarkparanormalOur Sponsors:* Check out Acorns and use my code acorns.com/darkparanormal for a great deal: https://www.acorns.com* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome, to Dark Realms,Across the open fields of southern Sweden stands a fortress built to keep danger out — and, perhaps, to keep certain things within. At Glimmingehus, workers have heard voices in empty rooms, an arrival has been said to vanish without explanation, and an old presence is rumoured to roam the grounds after dark. We explore the history and legends surrounding this formidable stronghold, where the walls have endured for centuries and some stories still seem to follow those who leave.To send us YOUR experience, please click here:https://www.thedarkparanormal.com/submit-your-experienceOr head to our website:www.thedarkparanormal.comYou can also follow us on the below social media links:Twitter: www.twitter.com/darkparanormalxFacebook: www.facebook.com/thedarkparanormalYouTube: www.youtube.com/thedarkparanormalInstagram: www.instagram.com/thedarkparanormalPatreon: www.patreon.com/thedarkparanormalStay safe,KevinOur Sponsors:* Check out Acorns and use my code acorns.com/darkparanormal for a great deal: https://www.acorns.com* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In today’s Early Access episode, we hear from a mother whose ordinary family life is gradually overshadowed by questions she never imagined having to ask. As familiar memories begin to feel strangely uncertain, she finds herself confronting something far more unsettling than any conventional haunting. Because sometimes, the most disturbing mysteries aren’t about what we’ve witnessed, but what we believe we know.Stay safe,Kevin.If you have a true paranormal experience you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you.Submit your experience:www.thedarkparanormal.com/submit-your-experienceJoin us on Patreon:www.patreon.com/thedarkparanormalFollow The Dark Paranormal:Instagram: @thedarkparanormalFacebook: The Dark ParanormalYouTube: @thedarkparanormalX (Twitter): @darkparanormalxOur Sponsors:* Check out Acorns and use my code acorns.com/darkparanormal for a great deal: https://www.acorns.com* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on Encounters, we travel to Nottingham, where Martin, a widower living alone, shares a deeply unsettling account of the strange activity that began in his home towards the end of last year. What initially seemed like nothing more than the ordinary sounds of an ageing house gradually became something far harder to explain, leaving Martin questioning not only what might have been sharing his home, but why… it…had chosen him.Stay safe,Kevin.We’re giving a full week’s trial of our Patreon, where you can access our huge back catalogue of exclusive episodes:www.patreon.com/thedarkparanormalHave you experienced something you can’t explain?

*Apologies all, the midweek 'Encounters' episode was released today instead of the (now correctly uploaded) Episode 5*This week, for both our mid-season AND Halloween episode, we hear from our listener Neil, a man whose journey towards recovery takes an unexpected and deeply disturbing turn. Within the walls of a remote Welsh institution, seemingly insignificant details begin to suggest that something is terribly wrong. And as the boundaries between perception, reality, and the unexplained begin to blur, Neil finds himself confronting a terrifying realisation...sometimes, the greatest danger isn’t what you hear in the darkness, but how 'instinctively' you might respond.Stay safe,Kevin.Love the paranormal?

For today’s Encounters, our listener Nate shares a series of increasingly disturbing paranormal experiences centred around a historic theatre in the old mining town of Magna, Utah. Where the boundary between performance and reality appears to have become dangerously blurred. When the performances end, the audience has gone home, and the theatre, supposedly, sits empty…who—or what—remains?Stay safe,KevinWe’re giving a full week’s trial of our Patreon, where you can access our huge back catalogue of exclusive episodes:www.patreon.com/thedarkparanormalHave you experienced something you can’t explain?

Beyond Athens picturesque streets and university buildings lies a darker history, where the boundaries between the living and the dead are said to be unusually thin. From unsettling local legends to disturbing events rooted in reality, Athens is a place where certain stories refuse to stay buried, certain spaces seem reluctant to surrender their secrets, and the past may not be quite as distant as we’d like to believe.Stay safe,Kevin.We’re giving a full week’s trial of our Patreon, where you can access our huge back catalogue of exclusive episodes:www.patreon.com/thedarkparanormalHave you experienced something you can’t explain?

Today we hear from Rosie, whose job involves checking empty properties and preparing them for arriving guests, there has never been much reason to question what happens inside a house once the doors are locked and everyone has gone. But what happens when a house appears to have a life of its own? Can an unseen presence genuinely have good intentions?And perhaps most disturbingly, how can you ever be certain that something offering comfort isn't expecting something in return?Stay safe,Kevin.We’re giving a full week’s trial of our Patreon, where you can access our huge back catalogue of exclusive episodes:www.patreon.com/thedarkparanormalHave you experienced something you can’t explain?

On this week’s Encounters, Tom takes us to a remote campsite in Northumberland, where what should have been a relaxing weekend with a friend became an experience neither has been able to forget.As the night draws in, an unsettling warning, an unnatural silence, and something that seems to know far more than it should leave us questioning just how safe we really are when we believe we’re alone. And perhaps more disturbingly, whether some things are simply waiting for an invitation.Stay safe,Kevin.Love the paranormal? Us too!

Some things are passed down through generations. Memories, traditions, family stories. But what if something far darker could be inherited too? For today’s listener, the unexplained has never been confined to a single house, a fleeting encounter, or a childhood memory. From an early age, certain experiences have left her questioning the relationship between those we’ve lost…and those they’ve left behind.Stay safe,Kevin.We’re giving a full week’s trial of our Patreon, where you can access our huge back catalogue of exclusive episodes:www.patreon.com/thedarkparanormalHave you experienced something you can’t explain?
