By the 1970's, the once beautiful 'Stanley Hotel' looked like it was headed towards total demolition... That was, until one fateful night when the hotel received an unusual guest - Stephen King. King and his wife were the final two guests of the season and after what they experienced that night... it was no surprise. This was the hotel that would go on to inspire King's next book, THE SHININGFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTubeJoin our Secret Society Facebook CommunitySupport us on Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife to get access to weekly bonus episodes!Buy Official TPL Merch! - thisparanormallife.com/storeIntro music by www.purple-planet.comEdited by Philip Shacklady Hosted on Acast.

In the world of the paranormal, cryptids are terrifying enough as they are. Sasquatch. Chupacabra. The Squonk. There are more than enough scary beasts roaming the earth to keep paranormal investigators up at night. Unfortunately for them, though, there are certain creatures to be even more fearful of… enter the Batsquatch. Deep in the Pacific North West, an area already famous for Sasquatch encounters, lives a Bat/Bigfoot hybrid beast. Fused together in the molten core of the earth inside Mount Saint Helens, it burst forth in the 1980s to stalk the population of Oregon and Washington. Time for Rory and Kit to track it down and investigate.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTubeJoin our Secret Society Facebook CommunitySupport us on Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife to get access to weekly bonus episodes!Buy Official TPL Merch! - thisparanormallife.com/storeIntro music by www.purple-planet.comEdited by Philip ShackladyResearch by Ewen Friers Hosted on Acast.

When we think of haunted castles, we think of Transylvania, Ireland and pretty much anywhere but America... but tucked away in the small state of Rhode Island is Belcourt Castle, a huge mansion erected in 1891 and stuffed full of ancient artifacts with paranormal baggage. From haunted mirrors to electric chairs, every room of this castle has something new to investigate.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTubeJoin our Secret Society Facebook CommunitySupport us on Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife to get access to weekly bonus episodes!Buy Official TPL Merch! - thisparanormallife.com/storeIntro music by www.purple-planet.comEdited by Philip Shacklady Hosted on Acast.

In 2017 global history was made when two, apparently pre-pubescent (judging by their voices), 25 year old investigators known as Kit and Rory deemed the Loch Ness Monster to be a real paranormal cryptid, giving it a double yes in their investigation. But there was a problem - how could Nessie be the only sea serpent in the British Isles when Kit and Rory grew up only around 200 miles away (as the crow flies) from Loch Ness? There are countless lakes, some larger and deeper than Loch Ness, dotted around Britain and Ireland. Well it turns out that Ireland has more than its fair share of aquatic legends. Perhaps the most famous of all is Muckie, a beast incredibly similar to Nessie and has been spotted on and off for decades in Killarney National Park. To find it will require tenacity, grit, and a not insubstantial amount of dynamite.

On March 16, 1967, a strange object was seen hovering above an Air Force Base in Montana. 60 seconds later, an entire fleet of nuclear missiles were knocked offline. What happened next was rollercoaster of secret investigations, government shutdowns and classified reports. But this incident wouldn't stay secret for long... after all, this wasn't the first time an object had appeared at Malmstrom Air Force Base...Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTubeJoin our Secret Society Facebook CommunitySupport us on Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife to get access to weekly bonus episodes!Buy Official TPL Merch! - thisparanormallife.com/storeIntro music by www.purple-planet.comEdited by Philip Shacklady Hosted on Acast.

Imagine you could see anything on earth from the comfort of your sofa, what would you look at? Fair enough in our modern world of Ring doorbells and drones this is slightly less strange, but for most of human history this was a God-like ability up there with transforming water into wine and remaining calm in traffic jams. Crucially during the cold war the US government began to take this paranormal ability, known as Remote Viewing, very seriously indeed. With shady secrets, military bunkers, and piles of redacted dossiers, this is some of the most fascinating history in the paranormal world.

In 1963, two retired air traffic controllers were exploring a Louisiana swamp called 'Honey Island'. Despite sounding like somewhere Winnie the Pooh would live, the swamp is actually home to an array of deadly and dangerous wildlife... NONE more dangerous than the Honey Island Swamp Monster - an ancient BEAST unknown to science that's lived in the swamp for hundreds of years (or it might just be an escaped monkey convict)Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTubeJoin our Secret Society Facebook CommunitySupport us on Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife to get access to weekly bonus episodes!Buy Official TPL Merch! - thisparanormallife.com/storeIntro music by www.purple-planet.comEdited by Philip Shacklady Hosted on Acast.

Around this time of year in 1855 residents of a sleepy town in Devon woke to a strange and disturbing phenomenon - completely unrecognisable footprints were covering the town. Only they weren't just on the ground, but in impossible locations: on top of houses, over giant walls, and most alarmingly of all these tracks covered over 100 miles. With no satisfying explanation from the animal kingdom they were left no choice but to accept the truth - Satan himself had visited during the night. It might sound farfetched but it wasn't the first time the dark lord holidayed in their town...Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTubeJoin our Secret Society Facebook CommunitySupport us on Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife to get access to weekly bonus episodes!Buy Official TPL Merch! - thisparanormallife.com/storeIntro music by www.purple-planet.comEdited by Philip ShackladyResearch by Ewen Friers Hosted on Acast.
