This Paranormal Life

We’ve all had bad experiences flying before - You get delayed on the runway, you get stuck in the middle seat, you’re ‘cut off’ from alcoholic beverages because you drank too many tiny wines… but in 1976, a young Pilot from Mexico City experienced his own mid-flight nightmare, when he suddenly became possessed by an alien.

Australia — a land that has given us much to be scared of — spiders, shoeys, and the most powerful accent known to man. But perhaps no story from Australia is more believable or terrifying than that of the Humpty Doo Poltergeist. In 1998 a paranormal story from a small town in Australia’s Northern Territory hit local news. It started as a humour piece, but quickly the reporters realised there was nothing funny about what was happening. What followed is one of the most well-documented paranormal stories in history, and the topic of this week’s investigation. Time for Kit and Rory to di...

In this episode, we investigate the new craze that's sweeping the world - Labubu's. Some people think this cute, innocent children's toy is linked to Pazuzu, an ancient mesopotamian demon.

If you find yourself in rural south Texas roaming the vast wilderness that borders Mexico — ESPECIALLY if you’re an 1800s cattle rancher — listen for the sound of hooves, because if you hear them you might be about to come face-to-face with the legendary spirit of EL MUERTO. El Muerto is the terrifying legend of a headless horseman in Texas. But unlike other headless horseman legends around the world, El Muerto isn’t just a spirit, it’s a morbid folk tale of a real crime that was committed. Maybe this injustice is why El Muerto is said to haunt Texa...

History is fun to read — it teaches us about our collective past and what life was like through human history. But occasionally the events threaten to re-write human history itself… The Airship of Clonmacnoise is small and strange story, practically a footnote in the global history of Christian texts, and yet it is repeated across several books and manuscripts as fact. The story details a craft and its crew descending on an Irish church in 743AD, in a manner that in 2024 sounds a lot like an encounter with extra-terrestrials. There’s only one way to find out. #Invest...

When Allen and Deborah moved into their new home in Wisconsin, they had no idea they would barely make it 2 years before they had to move out.

The US civil war was a bloody and brutal conflict that inspired timeless tales of heroism and defeat. What is less known, is that many conflicts took place on some of the most haunted and paranormal locations in North America. It should be no surprise, then, that soldiers from the front lines described seeing a plethora of supernatural entities, maybe none more terrifying than Old Green Eyes. Was it simply a folk tale taken too seriously? Or was something really paranormal happening? Time for Rory and Kit to find out!

In November 1987, a Florida newspaper published a number of strange photos that were given to them by a man named Ed Walters. These photos captured a strange object floating through the night sky, an object that would soon become known as the Gulf Breeze UFO.

In ancient times, learned practitioners of the ancient art of palmistry could simply look to your hand to glean insights about your past, present, and future, your hearts deepest desires and perhaps your ultimate mortal fate… Nowadays they just look you up on LinkedIn, innit! But what has been lost in this rush towards modernisation and snooping on your coworkers? How did palmistry work? And was it really paranormal? On this week’s episode Kit and Rory dive into the history of the world’s most famous palm reader, Cheiro, a man who read the palms of the world’s most r...

In 1938, English explorers were driving through the Congo when something crawled onto the road in front of their car. They rushed for their cameras but it was already too late, the creature had scuttled off into the trees. They didn’t know it at the time, but they had just seen the legendary J’ba FoFi, the giant spider cryptid that’s both deadly and delicious… apparently Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Secret Society Facebook Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Support us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get access to weekly bonus episodes! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Official TPL Merch!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thisparanormallife.com/store⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Intro music by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.purple-planet.c

The great fire of London, started on Pudding Lane in 1666 is known as one of the greatest tragedies in British history. But if it is known as an unavoidable accident, why was it predicted years earlier, and even drawn and depicted beforehand by soothsayers? That’s because there is a compelling argument that says the great fire was no ordinary fire, it was the result of a paranormal curse on the city of London. From biblical plagues to raining blood, to the number of the beast 666 in the date itself, something odd was going on. But what caused these pa...

We’ve all eaten pancakes that taste ‘out of this world’, but what about pancakes that are literally not from Earth? That is the terrifying and delicious reality that Joe Simonton from Wisconsin stepped into in 1961 when a UFO landed and delivered pancakes to him. It might sound ridiculous but what followed was anything but — government involvement, laboratory testing, and local furore as the world tried to get to the bottom of this story.

Leicester is famous for many things; it’s football club… cheese… OK that’s pretty much it. But what about HUMAN SACRIFICE? It sounds far-fetched and yet like much of ancient Britain the land was once ruled by pagans, many of whom practiced a druidic religion which may have involved human sacrifice. Some say it’s because of that ancient history that Leicester’s Humber Stone has come to be cursed. Ghost sightings, spontaneous combustion, and possession have all been reported in this small region of Leicestershire. What is going on? And is it paranormal? It’s time for Rory and Kit t...

One November evening in 1974, a group of children spotted a mysterious light streaming across the sky. The kids watched as it jetted from the clouds and CRASHED into a nearby pond, sinking down below the water, where it continued to glow for 9 hours. It wasn’t long before the small town was flooded with press and Ufologists, as Carbondale had just become the site of a UFO crash.

The Appalachian mountains might just be America’s paranormal heartland. After all it was on the settler wagon trail through Appalachia that so many myths and legends of American folklore were born — so were they really just stories or are they evidence of mysterious and terrifying paranormal cryptids that stalk the mountains to this day?

On This Paranormal Life, we spend a lot of time investigating the darkest and creepiest corners of the world, and today is no exception!

Canada is big. So big in-fact that it’s easy to hide things there. Don’t believe me? Maple syrup wasn’t bottled and sold around the world until the 1950s — THAT’S how secret they can keep things. So as it turns out it’s a great place to be a UFO with wide, vast, open plains and mountain ranges to fly around without being spotted. Except in 1975 I guess one of those UFOs screwed up and visited Manitoba, where it became a kind of local celebrity known as ‘Charlie Red Star’. What follows is documented as one of the world’s m...

When we usually dive into a UFO case, it’s a miracle if we have even 1 reliable witness. Well, back in 1977 on the Brazilian island of Colares, UFO’s began attacking locals, hitting them with laser beams that paralysed them on the spot. And we don’t just have 1 witness, we have over 300...

Phantom of the Opera, The Curse of the Ninth, the play about a Scottish king that we mustn't mention by name — we’ve all heard the stories. Theaters are some of the most paranormal locations on earth, stalked by ghosts and curses. Is it the electric energy of the adoring crowds that seeps into the walls as an emotional memory? Or is it simply the misfortune of those who work in theaters and pass away that they’re doomed to wander the halls forever. What is it about theaters that causes them to be haunted or cursed? To find out Ki...

When Anthropologists were exploring the rural villages of South Africa, they noticed something strange... In every home they visited, the beds were raised from the ground on sets of bricks.
