The Dark Paranormal

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 .

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 .

This week, we head to an old mining village in the southeast of England, where Jordan recalls a summer evening spent with a childhood friend. What began as an ordinary afternoon exploring a familiar place would become an experience neither of them could explain, and one Jordan has spent much of his adult life trying to understand. Some places hold on to their history. But what happens when moments when that history refuse to stay in the past? Stay safe, Kevin.

Deep in the hills of Rajasthan, India, lies Bhangarh Fort, a once-thriving city now regarded as one of the most haunted places in the world. But what happened to its inhabitants, and why has this abandoned city become synonymous with curses, restless spirits and a darkness that supposedly awakens after sunset?

On this week’s episode, Chloe takes us back to a home in North Georgia that left her with a feeling she couldn’t explain. Years later, memories of that time resurfaced—and left her with a question she still can’t answer. Today we question if keeping “sightings” or experiences to yourself is dangerous…in both realms.

Welcome, to "Encounters", our new minisode. On this week’s debut Encounter, Destiny shares an experience from one of the darkest periods of her life. One summer night, what begins as an unusually vivid dream becomes something far more invasive — an encounter that feels disturbingly physical, leaves her questioning the boundary between sleeping and waking, and refuses to end even when she turns to something she has trusted since childhood for protection. Was it simply the product of a vulnerable mind, something explainable lurking in the strange landscape of sleep… or did something find Destiny at precisely the moment she was most vulnerable? Listen now, and make up your own mind. Stay safe, Kevin.

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. In our Season 26 opener, we travel to Norway for an extraordinary account spanning almost an entire lifetime. From unsettling experiences beginning in early childhood to encounters that seemingly refuse to remain confined to any one house, Kevin has spent years questioning exactly what he has witnessed — and, perhaps more importantly, why it appears to continue wherever life takes him. Are some places simply more susceptible to the paranormal, can certain people perceive things the rest of us cannot, or are there occasions when leaving the location behind simply isn’t enough? Tonight’s submission is a deeply personal journey through family, loss, unexplained encounters and the disturbing possibility that sometimes, no matter how far you travel, you can’t outrun true darkness.

Before our return with Season 26 next week, we’re revisiting some of the most memorable experiences ever featured on The Dark Paranormal, presented for the first time as complete, uninterrupted stories. This week, we bring you all three parts of Kinar’s extraordinary “Dark Arts” trilogy in one continuous episode. Beginning with an experience originally shared on Dark Bites before the response prompted us to bring a fuller account to the main show, Kinar’s story would eventually span several years, two continents, and three separate appearances on The Dark Paranormal. What begins as one deeply unsettling encounter develops into something far larger, as Kinar’s determination to understand exactly what happened to him leads him further down a path where history, belief and the unexplained become increasingly difficult to separate. So, whether you remember Kinar’s story from its original releases or are hearing it for the very first time, tonight you can experience the entire journey from beginning to end. Stay…

During the season break, we've decided that each Friday, when there is no show, you will receive an amalgamation of experiences which have previously been split across episodes. So, we begin today with what was our season 13 Halloween special, The Darkest Chapter. Genuinely, two of the most terrifying episodes we've ever put out, and, and in all honesty, one of the most believable experiences I've ever read. Why? Well, because Clare sent in photographic evidence of every event you're about to hear. We hope you enjoyed this longer format.

For the Season 25 finale of The Dark Paranormal, we follow Kate through a series of experiences spanning childhood, adulthood, different homes, different cities and almost two decades of unanswered questions. Because what happens when the location changes, the people change, the years pass — but the feeling remains? This is about doorways, instinct, things glimpsed where nothing should be standing, and the unsettling possibility that leaving a haunted house doesn’t necessarily mean the haunting stays behind.

Joan was just 21, raising her young son alone in a council house in the Northwest of England, when life began to feel increasingly difficult to explain. The property already carried unsettling rumours about the families who had lived there before, but Joan initially had far more ordinary concerns: persistent infestations, illnesses, accidents, electrical faults and appliances which seemed determined to behave unpredictably. Yet as the problems mounted, something more damaging began to take hold. What followed, gives us some very difficult questions to ponder. Stay safe, Kevin.

On a quiet island in Sweden’s Lake Mälaren stands Ängsö Castle, a centuries-old estate whose pale walls conceal some of the country’s darkest and most enduring legends. Generations have told of figures still moving through its rooms, an encounter rooted in an ancient Scandinavian tradition, and a final story that suggests something far more dangerous than a restless spirit may once have been welcomed inside. This week on Dark Realms, we uncover the history, folklore and unsettling claims surrounding Ängsö Castle — where three hauntings lead us from the lingering dead, to a terrifying encounter in the darkness, and finally to a legend built around one disturbing possibility: that whatever entered this castle centuries ago may never truly have left. Stay safe, Kevin A routine tuning job at a quiet Shropshire home leaves one experienced piano tuner confronting something that refuses to behave as it should.

In the final of our three journeys into documented paranormal history this season, we travel to 1970s West Germany and a case which remains almost impossible to separate from the controversy surrounding it. At its centre is a young woman, a deeply religious family, doctors, priests, recordings made behind closed doors, and a series of decisions that would eventually be examined far beyond the walls of one Bavarian home. Unlike many stories from paranormal history, this one left behind evidence you can still hear today — and throughout this episode, some of it will form part of what you experience. Was something genuinely inexplicable unfolding, or does the real horror lie somewhere far more human? Turn the lights down for one of the darkest, most unsettling and fiercely debated cases we have ever covered on The Dark Paranormal, we’ve gleaned at this before, today we go in with open eyes, this may not be suitable for younger listeners Stay safe, Kevin We’re giving a full weeks trial of our Patreon away!

A routine tuning job at a quiet Shropshire home leaves one experienced piano tuner confronting something that refuses to behave as it should. What begins as a small irregularity soon becomes harder to dismiss, especially when the history of the instrument starts to offer its own unsettling context.

Today, a listener discovers how darkness can enter your life without spectacle, warning or any obvious moment of arrival. In this chilling experience, an ordinary day at work is followed by a succession of subtle disturbances that seem impossible to anticipate, confront or prove. As the unease begins to spread, one terrifying pattern slowly emerges: whatever is responsible appears to understand precisely when it is safest to act.

For today's Dark Minisode, our listener Ray, a hospital porter with more than two decades on the job, tells us how he has long since grown used to the strange atmosphere that comes with late-night shifts, empty corridors and parts of the building most people never see.

On today's Dark Realms, we take a look at one of India's most feared locations. Dow Hill rises above Kurseong on the mist-covered slopes of the Himalayas, where dense forest surrounds historic boarding schools and an isolated stretch known locally as the Death Road. For generations, guards, woodcutters and travellers have reported unexplained footsteps, children’s voices inside empty buildings and figures moving silently between the trees. Tonight, we explore the history of this beautiful but deeply unsettling landscape—and the three alleged hauntings that have made Dow Hill one of India’s most feared paranormal locations.

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. Twenty years ago, electrician and paranormal investigator Julian joined a nighttime vigil inside Plas Teg, one of Wales’s most notoriously haunted historic mansions. Julian has always tried to find rational explanations for the unusual things he has experienced, but what happened during that investigation left him questioning where imagination ends—and something altogether more unsettling begins.

Welcome to our conclusion of last week's Dark Minisode. In the second part of this listener’s story, years have passed since a terrifying experience inside an Australian Victorian terrace first brought Pete and Betty into her life. Now, facing a completely different chapter with two young children and another old house, familiar signs begin to return — unexplained disturbances, frightened children and incidents with no obvious cause. Once again, she turns to the two people whose extraordinary accuracy had helped her before, beginning a relationship that would continue for years and profoundly change the way she viewed hauntings, spirits and her own lifelong fear of the paranormal.

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. In this episode, the second of our "3-6-9" series to shine a light on the more obscure documented experiences out there, we delve into one of the most bizarre lesser-known cases of paranormal activity. Rancy Venum, a young girl who experienced a series of strange episodes that lead her family to seek help, but in doing so they experience a profound transformation that raises questions about identity, the nature of possession, and the complexities of grief. To guess at the supernatural forces at play would be simply that, a guess... however we at least have evidence of the psychological and social dynamics at play, which may give a hint about the link we've touched on many times, that of reality and belief, in the context of the other side.

Welcome, to this weeks Dark Minisode. On today's show, a lifelong fear of the paranormal followed our listener from childhood into adulthood, shaped by years of experiences they could never quite explain. After moving to the other side of the country, and falling in love with an old Victorian house full of history and character, they genuinely hoped these events wouldn't follow. But as the weeks passed, something about the house began to change the way they lived within it. What followed would become one of the most frightening periods of their life. Stay safe, Kevin.

Welcome, to Dark Realms. Today’s Dark Realm has sincerely been one of my favourites to create. The Forbidden City, a vast imperial complex that for more than five centuries housed emperors, concubines, servants, guards and some of the most closely guarded secrets in Chinese history. Behind its enormous red gates lies a place shaped by extraordinary wealth and power, but also confinement, rivalry, punishment and death—and according to generations of folklore, not everyone who entered those walls ever truly left them. In this episode, we explore three of the Forbidden City’s most enduring ghost stories, and for the first time I'm not convinced my ranking of each ghost is correct. The Forbidden City seems something very different from the previous Realms we've entered. Stay safe, Kevin. We’re giving a full weeks trial of our Patreon away!

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. This experience, like others we've discussed previously, is one written across an entire lifetime of seeing, sensing and being followed by things most of us will never have to face. Its author describes herself as a beacon to the other side, drawing in everything from curious spirits to entities shaped by hatred, grief and something far more ancient. Each new stage of life seems darker than the last. But amongst that darkness are moments of something else entirely: compassion, healing and the belief that even the most tormented spirit may still be searching for a way home. Stay safe, Kevin.

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. On today's show, a childhood shaped by addiction, fear and constant tension becomes the backdrop to an encounter that has never left its witness. As the atmosphere inside one family home grows increasingly oppressive, strange voices, impossible sightings and an overwhelming feeling of being watched begin affecting more than one member of the household.

Today's Dark Minisode follows a listener from British Columbia whose recurring nightmares slowly began to bleed into waking life, leaving her convinced she was being watched wherever she went.

A woman who lived in a quiet German village on the edge of the Black Forest, her terrifying ordeal drew the attention of a reluctant pastor who documented every stage of what followed with remarkable detail.

Welcome, to a Dark Minisode. Today our listener, Sam, takes an evening management job at a newly opened drive-through coffee shop in Glasgow, balancing her education, work and raising her one-year-old son. At first, the strange occurrences are easy to dismiss as faulty equipment or an old building settling into its new purpose. But as unsettling experiences begin to overlap with unexpected revelations about the site’s history, ordinary late-night shifts become increasingly difficult to explain. Is there a rational answer hiding beneath the static, or has Sam unknowingly stepped into a place she truly doesn't want to be? Stay safe, Kevin. We’re giving a full weeks trial of our Patreon away!

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal, For our debut episode, after a childhood shaped by grief, religious fear and the belief that something evil lived within her, "Sarah" spent years distancing herself from faith. But a chance encounter with a kind elderly priest offered her something she had rarely known: patience, understanding and the feeling of truly being heard. As their unlikely friendship deepens, strange visions, unsettling inconsistencies, and the sense of something altogether more sinister start to enter "Sarah's" world.

Welcome, to the calm before the storm. In this special pre-season episode of The Dark Paranormal, we’re joined by the wonderful Charlie and Tyler, hosts of Believing the Bizarre, for a brilliant conversation built around two chilling experiences they’ve brought with them. Each story is shared in full, before we step back and discuss the details, and the lingering questions they leave behind. It’s a relaxed but eerie episode, which I guess is what happens when two shows with a shared fascination mix. We also chat more about Believing the Bizarre, and of course where you can hear more from Charlie and Tyler, and how to follow or get in touch with them. Stay safe, Kevin.

Welcome, to the Season 24 Finale. For the Season Finale, an anonymous academic returns from Italy with what appears to be a fake religious relic — a small brass reliquary capsule bought for a few euros at an antiques market in Padova. But when strange disturbances follow her home, she begins to suspect the object was never meant to be admired, opened, or acknowledged. With an intriguing blend of historical mystery and Catholic lore, we ask, what happens when something once sealed away, finally begins to stir again? Stay safe, Kevin.

Welcome, to the Season 24 Dark Minisode Finale. When one of our more sceptical listeners returns to her childhood home due to her mother's illness, she expected sorrow, paperwork, and difficult memories. What she didn't, was an old presence from her past that seems to re-emerge. Through a familiar smell and an unsettling sense of dread, she is forced to confront emotions she thought had been buried decades ago. Is grief capable of awakening forgotten fears, or can certain people leave something behind that lingers long after they’re gone? Stay safe, Kevin.

Welcome to the penultimate episode of S24 of The Dark Paranormal. After the death of her mother, our listener Claire returns alone to the Derbyshire home she grew up in to begin clearing out decades of belongings. In a spare-room wardrobe, she discovers a hidden box containing old letters and a face-down photograph. The letters suggest Claire’s mother had once been involved in some kind of secret arrangement, and maybe something that she helped end. As the house grows darker, the atmosphere shifts, things appear to move, and that night Claire has everything she holds true challenged, leaving her with the disturbing possibility that her mother had spent years managing or containing something she never told her children about.

Welcome, to a Dark Minisode. On Today's Dark Minisode, our listener Arthur describes being sent into the sealed basement archive of a failed document storage company outside of Leeds, expecting nothing more than dust, barcodes, and forgotten office equipment. But deep beneath that industrial estate, behind a locked security cage, something begins to defy explanation. What starts as a simple anomaly in an abandoned storage floor soon becomes a deeply unsettling encounter with the impossible. Arthur's experience explores isolation, residual energy, abandoned workplaces, and the terrifying moment when a place that should be empty appears to be watching back Stay safe, Kevin.

Welcome back, to Dark Realms. Today we travel to Dorset, England, to explore the chilling folklore of Sandford Orcas Manor — a Tudor house near Sherborne long associated with some of Britain’s most unsettling ghost stories. Known as “the house that collected ghosts,” the manor’s legends include mysterious apparitions, unexplained figures, and disturbing encounters said to have unfolded within its historic walls and grounds. Blending haunted history, local folklore, and atmospheric storytelling, this episode examines how Sandford Orcas Manor became one of Dorset’s most intriguing paranormal locations, where centuries of family history, tragedy, rumour, and fear appear to linger in the stone Stay safe, Kevin.

Welcome back, to the Dark Paranormal., Today we have a planned treat, as we give you the English translation of the first ever submission to our Spanish language sister show "Osuridad Paranormal". Today, Ricardo shares the deeply unsettling story of a family conflict that appears to awaken something far darker than ordinary neighbourly resentment. After a dispute with the people living behind their home, Ricardo and his brothers begin experiencing terrifying events in the dead of night, a slow, disturbing change within the family that no rational explanation seems able to satisfy. Blending themes of curses, witchcraft, family trauma, unexplained illness, and a haunting that feels disturbingly deliberate, we find ourselves asking, whether some grudges can become something much more dangerous — and whether certain things, once invited in, can ever truly be stopped.

Welcome, to a Dark Minisode. For today's Dark Minisode, Zane from Colorado shares his unsettling experience as a live-in manager at a remote alpine property near Cortina d’Ampezzo in Northern Italy. Left alone during the 2020 lockdown to maintain the empty hotel, Zane expects isolation, silence, and the usual groans of an ageing building — but what begins with Zane relishing the opportunity, soon escalates into something darkly atmospheric, claustrophobic, and deeply eerie, this account explores what can happen when an old hotel is emptied of the living… and something else is left behind.

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. Where to begin...well, today's experience comes to us from our listener Sarah, who shares a lifelong haunting that begins with a disturbing childhood encounter in Manchester and follows her across years, homes, and continents. From an unsettling warning about being “born under the black star” to terrifying nocturnal phenomena, unexplained cold spots, shadow-like presences, and an encounter in her Toronto home that leaves physical evidence behind, this episode explores the frightening possibility that some hauntings are not attached to places, but to people. And when I say Sarah "Shared", I may be more on the nose than I'd like. Stay safe, Kevin. We’re giving a full weeks trial of our Patreon away!

Welcome, to a Dark Minisode. Brianna shares a terrifying college haunting from a small Christian university in Texas, where one seemingly harmless board game left her overwhelmed by dread before the night had even begun. What follows is a deeply unsettling account of instinct, warning signs, unseen presence, animalistic fear, and the disturbing possibility that something dark can be invited in even by those who refuse to take part. A claustrophobic true story of spiritual danger, oppressive darkness, and the consequences of opening doors that should remain closed. Stay safe, Kevin.

Welcome back, to Dark Realms. Today, we enter the shadowed corridors of an unfinished Gothic house hidden deep in a Cotswold valley. Built in the 19th century and abandoned before it could ever truly become a home, Woodchester is a place where bare stone, missing floors, empty rooms and Catholic Gothic ambition have combined to create one of England’s most unsettling haunted locations. From apparitions seen where no living person could stand, to reports of unseen hands, emotional disturbances, violent sounds, and corridors that seem almost alive with hostility, we explore why Woodchester Mansion has become a legend among ghost hunters, paranormal researchers, and lovers of haunted history — a house...and a story...that may never be finished.

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. Today we conclude Catherine’s story as it moves beyond childhood trauma and into adulthood, where grief, danger, motherhood, and unexplained spiritual protection collide in a deeply emotional true paranormal account. As she struggles to rebuild her life after unimaginable loss, Catherine begins to sense that the dead may not simply be watching from afar, but stepping in during moments of fear, warning, and survival. This conclusion questions haunted dreams, shadowy presences, spiritual validation, and the possibility that love can remain close even after death. For me, this two part experience is something we may never hear the like of again. Stay safe, Kevin. We’re giving a full weeks trial of our Patreon away!

Welcome to a Dark Minisode Today we hear from Johan, a listener who shares the extraordinary story of the lifelong connection he had with his twin sister, Abigail — a bond that seemed to go far beyond instinct, coincidence, or ordinary sibling closeness. From childhood moments of unexplained awareness to terrifying flashes of danger and impossible shared emotions, their connection shaped the way Johan understood the world. But when tragedy strikes, that once-comforting link becomes a silence he cannot escape, leading him through grief, guilt, and one final experience that challenges everything he thought he knew about love, loss, and what may remain after death.

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. In part one of this chilling two-part listener experience, Catherine shares the beginning of a lifetime touched by trauma, loss, and unsettling paranormal encounters that seem to appear at the darkest moments of her life. From a children’s hospital ward where a mysterious little girl in a dirty nightgown whispers impossible knowledge, to locked rooms, residential schools, shadowed corridors, ghostly figures near bridges, and a cemetery encounter that appears to guide her back to safety, this episode follows Catherine’s early years as the line between grief, memory, and the supernatural begins to blur. But as the story moves toward a devastating family tragedy and a terrifying sense of forewarning, one question remains: were these spirits haunting her, helping her, or preparing her for what was coming next?
