The first PARAnomaly ZONE exclusive episode is here!  It is a new beginning, and we're starting off HOT w/ the topic that we're most passionate about: GHOSTS!  What is a GHOST?  What are SHADOW PEOPLE?  Do we conjure and create POLTERGEISTS?  What does it take to see/experience a FULL-BODY APPARITION? Are ORBS, MISTS and COLD SPOTS just the beginning?  PLUS, we debut our "ONE LAST TAKE," segment, discussing the infamous (and possibly TRUE) TRAVIS WALTON EXPERIENCE...Was Travis abducted by ALIENS in Snowflake, Arizona, back in 1975?  We've got our HOT TAKE on this legendary story! 

"The Alternate Route Podcast" is no more...it has ceased to be.  It has gone on to meet its maker.  It has joined the choir invisible.  It has become an EX podcast....;-)  No worries!  NEW NAME, same PARANORMAL CONTENT!  We wanted a name that truly encompasses what we are all about....Help spread the PARAnomaly ZONE "word!"  GREAT future content, coming your way!  

It's HALLOWEEN weekend!!  Yes, the best time of the year is here!  We were so happy to have listener/fan/FRIEND, Pandora Blackthorne join us tonight, as she shared some truly CREEPY and TERRIFYING personal GHOST STORIES!  Thank you, Pandora!  We then dove into all things HORROR, when it comes to HALLOWEEN...Some truly horrific and frightening events/tragedies and GHOSTLY tales have occurred on ALL HALLOW's EVE, and we ponder as to just WHY they happened on this particular night...Of course, the necessary LEVITY rears its noble head now and then, but that is to be expected...We hope you enjoy, and HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 

Need we say more?!  Again, I was SURPRISED that this episode beckoned to me....We were both surprised as it happened...The "surprise" was beyond our control. ;-)  An appreciation episode for our wonderful listeners, for certain!  PERSONAL PARANORMAL HAPPENINGS & crazy ALIEN CONSPIRACIES!  Mike tries to talk Patrick off of the ledge when it comes to his questioning of potential personal GHOSTLY occurrences, and we dive into some BIZARRE ALIEN, AREA 51 conspiracy theories!  We love our listeners, this special SURPRISE (ha!) episode is for YOU! :-) 

MONSTERS of the NIGHT!!  Need we say more?  We ALL have an innate FEAR of THINGS THAT GO BUMP in the NIGHT...Is the BABADOOK real?  Do we CONJURE it to physical existence through FEAR and BELIEF?  Stories of war-time GREMLIN attacks; Are they ALIEN-based?  Have DEMON GHOST DOGS existed since before TIME, as we know it?  What is your personal BOGEYMAN and MONSTER UNDER THE BED?  Our embedded FEAR OF THE DARK...CHILDHOOD DREAMS of MONSTERS, PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR and the POWER OF THE MIND....Of course, LEVITY abounds, as per usual...Is Mike a BABABURP, or BABABELCH (for example)?  ha! 

ZOMBIES!!  Boy oh boy, what a topic/concept...We had a BLAST diving into all things UNDEAD...Zombie basis in fact; LEGEND & REALITY; Zombies in POPULAR CULTURE; The CASE OF CLAIRVIUS NARCISSE; WITCH DOCTORS; ZOMBIE POWDERS; VOODOO; TETRODOTOXIN; BURIED ALIVE; REVENANTS; ANCIENT GREEKS FEAR of the UNDEAD; BIBLICAL REFERENCES; MEDICAL EXPLANATIONS; PODCASTINATORS (ha!); LEVITY and so much more! 

We're just getting rollin' with this topic....Diving into some CREEPY & downright TERRIFYING GHOST ENCOUNTERS!  Believer or not, let your mind go, and just imagine the SPOOKINESS & UNEASINESS as you let your GOOSEBUMPS rise....People have experienced SOMETHING FRIGHTFUL, to that there is no doubt...But WHAT is it?  We also share some FREAKY personal encounters and horrifying NIGHTMARES (are GHOSTS speaking to one of us?)....Of course, it wouldn't be US without the usual dose of LEVITY!  We had a blast with this one...Don't miss out! 

"CREEPY" doesn't tell the half of it!  Get your chills going w/ some MYSTERIOUS and UNEXPLAINED cases of the ODD & TERRIFYING!  The DEAD Woman who NAMED her KILLER; AOKIGAHARA, Japan's SUICIDE FOREST; DISAPPEARANCES in NAT'L PARKS; The creepy cases of the WESTFIELD WATCHER & the CAPE INTRUDER; The RANDONAUTICA/TIKTOK Suitcase; Personal creepy tales; Warped Memories; Our own DRUNKEN OHIO WARBLER (humor) & MORE! 

Good Lord Almighty my brain hurts....All I can say is, DO NOT MISS THIS EPISODE!  Are ALIENS AMONG US?!  YES!!!  We believe it is highly probable...But WHY are they here, and HOW?  So much to dive into, discuss and digest....What do YOU think?  

Wow, what a JOY it was speaking w/ HEATHER TADDY!  Heather is a PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR/RESEARCHER who has been featured prominently AND starred in such hit paranormal programs as "PARANORMAL STATE," "PORTALS TO HELL,""ALIEN HIGHWAY" and her new YOUTUBE series w/ co-star KATRINA WEIDMAN, "TRAVEL THE DEAD!"  We discuss some of Heather's inspiration and reasons behind her love for all things paranormal & UFOs (though she is not necessarily a believer in BIGFOOT, ha!), OUIJA BOARD sessions, HAUNTED OBJECTS, SPIRITUALISM & more!  Heather is also a MUSICIAN, so we couldn't help but discuss some MUSIC tastes and influences, as well!  This flew by FAST, so a PART 2 is already in the works!!  Thank you, Heather!
