What happens when modern paranormal technology meets tarot cards, pendulums, haunted hotels, creepy dolls, mysterious handprints, and locations filled with unexplained energy?

On this episode of Dairyland Frights, John welcomes Nick and Kendra of 3rd Palm Paranormal, a Colorado-based paranormal investigation team that has been exploring the unexplained since 2016.

Nick and Kendra take a different approach to ghost hunting, combining equipment such as EMF meters, cameras, recorders, and radios with more traditional spiritual tools, including tarot, pendulums, and runes.

And they have some seriously spooky stories to share.

Nick and Kendra take us inside their recent visit to Glen Isle Resort in Bailey, Colorado, an isolated historic property that immediately gave them spooky vibes. The resort features historic cabins, unusual stories, a massive collection of antique dolls, and plenty of unexplained history.

And yes... there are hundreds of creepy dolls.

John is not thrilled.

The team also discusses their plans to return to Glen Isle for a much deeper paranormal investigation around Halloween.

But that is only the beginning.

One of Nick and Kendra's earliest paranormal experiences happened at the legendary Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado.

During a nearly empty winter stay on the reportedly haunted fourth floor, they experienced something they still can't fully explain.

In the middle of the night, they heard what sounded like children laughing and running through the hallway.

When they opened the door?

Nobody was there.

That experience helped inspire them to take paranormal investigating more seriously and eventually build 3rd Palm Paranormal.

One of the creepiest stories of the episode comes from Colorado's infamous Third Bridge.

During a late-night visit, Nick and his friends stood in the darkness listening to what sounded like distant drumming across the plains.

Then things became even stranger.

They thought they saw shadowy figures moving through the darkness.

When they decided they had experienced enough and tried to leave, their car wouldn't start.

Eventually, they escaped.

Then someone looked through the rear window.

The glass was fogged over...

except for two unexplained handprints.

Nope.

Absolutely nope.

Nick and Kendra also discuss some of their favorite tools for communicating with possible spirits.

Kendra favors an old radio they use almost like a spirit box, while Nick incorporates tarot readings into investigations to help determine what kind of energy they may encounter.

The conversation also explores:

3rd Palm Paranormal doesn't assume that every strange noise or EMF spike is supernatural.

In fact, Nick believes debunking paranormal evidence is just as important as discovering it.

During their Glen Isle visit, an EMF meter suddenly began reacting near a cabinet filled with creepy antique dolls.

Haunted dolls?

Not quite.

After investigating further, they discovered electrical wiring behind the cabinet.

Sometimes a mysterious shadow might be a spirit.

Sometimes it's an owl flying past a window.

That's why Nick and Kendra approach investigations with curiosity instead of assuming everything unexplained must be paranormal.

The conversation also gets deeper as Nick describes feeling emotionally drained following one investigation.

For several days afterward, something simply felt wrong.

Was it a paranormal attachment?

Lingering energy?

Or the psychological effects of spending hours inside an emotionally charged location?

The group discusses how investigators sometimes report unexplained sadness, anger, exhaustion, fear, and other emotional reactions following investigations.

Nick and Kendra have investigated numerous locations throughout Colorado, including:

The Stanley Hotel — Estes Park, Colorado

Hotel Colorado — Glenwood Springs, Colorado

Glen Isle Resort — Bailey, Colorado

Third Bridge — Colorado

The Hand Hotel — Fairplay, Colorado

They also discuss Colorado's unusual paranormal history and why old mining communities, cemeteries, historic hotels, and remote mountain towns continue to generate so many ghost stories.

Things get a little less serious when John puts Nick and Kendra through some important horror survival questions.

Who would survive a zombie apocalypse?

Who would speak first to a full-body apparition?

And most importantly...

If you had to face Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, or Jason Voorhees, which horror icon would you choose?

The answer leads to exactly the kind of conversation you'd expect on Dairyland Frights.

If money were no object, where would 3rd Palm Paranormal investigate?

Kendra dreams of exploring an ancient haunted castle somewhere in Ireland or Scotland, while Nick also puts the legendary Crescent Hotel in Arkansas high on his paranormal bucket list.

And naturally, John has another suggestion:

Dracula's Castle in Transylvania.

Private jet optional.

Vampire transformation strongly discouraged.

Nick and Kendra of 3rd Palm Paranormal have been exploring paranormal locations since 2016.

Their investigations combine traditional paranormal equipment with spiritual practices such as tarot and pendulum work while maintaining a skeptical approach toward unexplained evidence.

They're also preparing for another investigation of Glen Isle Resort around Halloween as they continue rebuilding and expanding 3rd Palm Paranormal.

What happens when paranormal experiences begin before you're even old enough to understand them?

On this episode of Dairyland Frights, John welcomes Rodmonh, a Florida-based experiencer, musician, and paranormal enthusiast whose encounters with the unexplained stretch back to early childhood. Rodman shares stories of premonitions, apparitions, strange spiritual connections, haunted locations, and experiences that have left him searching for answers throughout his life.

Rodmonh says his first unusual experience happened when he was only two years old. While riding in the backseat of his parents' car, he suddenly screamed and pointed ahead moments before witnessing a fatal motorcycle accident—an experience that made his parents wonder whether their son was sensing something they couldn't.

A few years later, his family converted an old blue school bus into an RV. On his first night sleeping inside, Rodman says an elderly woman appeared at the end of his bunk bed.

That apparition became the beginning of a year-long nightmare.

For roughly twelve months, Rodmonh says he experienced the same disturbing recurring dream involving a dark conveyor belt, frightening sounds, and the mysterious woman appearing at the end. The experiences abruptly stopped after his family moved out of the bus.

As Rodmonh grew older, the experiences became even harder to dismiss.

He recounts having a vivid premonition involving a child riding a bicycle while carrying a Halloween ghost bank. The following day, a boy carrying that same type of bank entered his father's jewelry store, bought baseball cards, talked excitedly about winning a new bicycle—and was later struck by a vehicle after leaving the store.

The experience left Rodmonh wrestling with questions about premonitions, responsibility, and whether knowing something might happen means you can—or should—try to change it.

Rodmonh also discusses moments when information seems to arrive through what he describes as a deep internal knowing.

In one powerful story, he felt compelled late at night to send someone an unexpected message telling them how loved and important they were. The person immediately responded and told Rodmonh the message had arrived during an extremely serious personal crisis. The experience changed the way Rodman views—and responds to—his intuition.

Rodmonh also shares his belief in spirit guides and explains why he connects spiritually with what he calls the Great Spirit, looking toward nature, animals, synchronicities, and signs for guidance.

Could certain places act as portals or make us feel as though we've stepped into another time?

Rodmonh describes visiting Pennhurst Asylum and experiencing an overwhelming shift after crossing into the Mayflower basement. He says the atmosphere suddenly felt as though he had entered an entirely different time period.

He also discusses paranormal investigation, being described as a "spirit magnet," visiting haunted locations, and his desire to investigate places including St. Augustine's historic haunted sites and the Stanley Hotel.

One of Rodmonh's most frightening stories goes back to childhood.

His grandparents were in the funeral home business, and their house doubled as a funeral home, complete with a mortuary area in the basement.

While spending the night, young Rodmonh slept in a room containing a full-sized suit of armor. After the lights went out, he says he heard metal clanging—and then watched the armored figure begin walking toward his bed.

Even more unsettling?

When his mother rushed into the room, she asked him what had made the clanging noise.

You'll hear about:

Rodmonh also talks about his work as a musician and his plans for a second album while continuing to document his extraordinary experiences in an autobiography.
