Paranormal Community College

In Paranormal Community College's first episode of the Alien Anthropology series, Riley shares the story of the Kinnula Humanoid. Taking place in the Finnish winter, four individuals witnessed a helmeted being descend from an unknown aerial object - and at least one of them was left with physical side effects.

For the past few decades, the image of the gray alien is what comes to mind when one hears about UFO sightings or extraterrestrials. However, there are perhaps even more accounts where people have reported small hairy humanoids and bizarre helmeted figures. Join Riley as she explores this strange phenomenon, and be sure to share your thoughts and theories in the comments below, or send her a message on Instagram: @ paranormalcommunitycollege Thanks for listening!

Join Riley as she explores a few different theories regarding what may have happened to Whitley Strieber on December 26th, 1985. Was he really taken by otherworldly beings? Or could there be other interesting explanations?

On the night of December 26th, 1985, author Whitley Strieber claims he was taken from his cabin in upstate New York by 4 distinct types of alien entities. The beings, or the "visitors" as he calls them, subjected Whitley to invasive medical exams and showed him apocalyptic visions. Whitley has stood by his story for 40 years, but many claim it is too bizarre to be believable. Did Whitley really encounter a non human presence at his cabin in the Hudson Valley? And if so, where did they come from? What was their purpose? Or. . .is this all just another one of Whitley's fantastic stories? IG: paranormalcommunitycollege

In 1990, Spanish teenager Estefania Gutierrez Lazaro experienced paranormal events that some say led to her mysterious death in 1991. After conducting a seance at school, Estefania claimed she was being haunted by dark, shadowy figures who would call out to her day and night. She also experienced visions, seizures, insomnia, and other puzzling behavior that doctors and psychologists could not seem to fix. What's more, the poltergeist activity continued after her death. Her family home in Vallecas, Madrid was haunted by black hooded figures and phantom voices. Her mother, father, and six siblings were tormented so severely, that they eventually called police. As outlandish as the story sounds, Chief Inspector Jose Negri and 5 other police officers claimed to have witnessed paranormal activity at the family home. Was it hysteria? A poltergeist? A psychological phenomenon? Or was it something more sinister? Perhaps, even, supernatural?

There’s something about driving down an empty highway at night that seems to tug at our deepest fears - even to the point of paranoia. There’s something about the backroads. . .the dark country highways. . .that offers a unique kind of spookiness.  And there are perhaps few people in the world who are as well acquainted with these midnight roads as our nation’s truck drivers.  With so many hours driving during the darkest hours of night. . . you can say truck drivers have seen their fair share of weirdness on the road. And some even say they’ve seen UFOs, ghosts, and other creatures that should only exist in horror movies.  And these stories - delivered to us from busy interstates, country backwoods, and desert highways - will be the subject of today’s episode.
