Paranormal Lens - A Crossroads Of Curiosities, LLC Production

Welcome to the most "Michigan" episode of Paranormal Lens to date, as we discuss our personal run-ins with the elusive cryptid known as the Not-Deer.

Join co-hosts Ben, Angela, Brienna, and Douglas the Kangaroo as they analyze these strange Not-Deer sightings and why they may or may not be as scary as you think. Whether you’re a cryptid enthusiast, a Michigan paranormal fan, or simply curious about the strange creatures said to roam our woods, this episode offers all of that and more. Ditto.

On this Monday Bonus episode of Paranormal Lens: we dive head-first into the frustrating phenomenon of "equipment malfunctions" during (and even after) investigations. We analyze our most recent, mind-boggling tech issue that prevented us from publishing last week's episode (apologies again about that). And we end on a plea to all paranormal filmmakers: back up your footage. Weird sh*t will happen... and you need to be prepared for anything!

In this thought-provoking episode of Paranormal Lens, we dive deep into the truth behind intelligent hauntings: those rare encounters where unseen forces are said to think, respond, and interact with the living. Are these spirits truly conscious entities... or something far stranger? Join us as we unravel one of our most existential and controversial discussions yet, questioning the very nature of what it means for a haunting to be “intelligent.”

Whether you’re a ghost hunter, a skeptic, or someone fascinated by paranormal research and spirit communication, this episode challenges you to question what’s really communicating back during your investigations.

Plus: get an exclusive behind-the-scenes sneak peek at a profound paranormal experience we had while filming the upcoming documentary, Pere Cheney: Plague in the Pines. Be sure to follow the project on Facebook and Instagram for real-time project updates!

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the ethics, boundaries, and responsibility that come with creating paranormal content. Specifically, we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most uncomfortable trends in today’s digital paranormal space: TikTok “mediums” and YouTube spirit box sessions claiming to contact freshly deceased celebrities.

Our conversation also naturally veers into how true crime culture is seeping into the paranormal world, blurring the line between curiosity and exploitation. Why are audiences drawn to “live spirit box sessions” minutes after a public figure passes away? How has the commodification of grief turned the paranormal and true crime genres into viral industries? All that and more on this episode of Paranormal Lens.

👻 In our Paranormal Lens Halloween special, Ben, Angela, and Brienna look back on eight years of ghost hunting, and their most chilling, poignant, and life-changing encounters that forever altered the way they investigate the supernatural.

🕯️ The conversation naturally veers into recapping unforgettable moments from this year's Blood Moon Parafest at Stimson Hospital and MADCON 8 at Madison Seminary, sharing behind-the-scenes stories, eerie synchronicities, and a downright woo-woo experience that was too difficult to sum up in a mere Instagram post.

Tune in for spine-tingling stories, personal reflection, and a rare glimpse into the evolution of three investigators who have dedicated nearly a decade to exploring haunted locations across the Midwest and beyond.

In this chilling new episode of Paranormal Lens, we explore the mysterious connection between owls, UFO sightings, and the paranormal. Are these nocturnal creatures mere birds of prey… or messengers from another realm?

Plus, Angela dives deep into her strange fascination with these creatures, leading to some unexpected revelations.

In this chilling new episode of Paranormal Lens, hosts Ben Goldman, Brienna Shear, and Angela Wingard dive deep into the mysterious world of dreams and the paranormal. Can ghosts or entities visit you in your dreams? Can dreams predict the future, or even warn you about things yet to come?

Ben recounts a haunting encounter in his sleep with the Dweller on the Threshold; and Brienna reveals one of her most terrifying nightmares, a dream that might be a premonition tied to their most feared paranormal investigation. And Angela brings some much-needed levity with a funny dream story that strangely may have predicted the future. Allegedly.

Whether you’re fascinated by lucid dreams, prophetic visions, or nightmares that feel too real, this episode is a must-listen for believers and skeptics alike.

In this week’s episode of Paranormal Lens, we tackle one of the most controversial topics in the world of paranormal investigating: the complicated legacy of Ed and Lorraine Warren. With the final Conjuring movie now haunting theaters, we decided it’s now or never to confront the inevitable: our mixed feelings about the Warrens, their impact on the field, and the line between faith, fear, and fabrication.

Join us as we dive deep into our true, mixed opinions about the Warrens. We’ll discuss what the Warrens got right, where our skepticism might be justified, and why their work still divides believers and critics alike.

Whether you’re a fan of ghost hunting, skeptical inquiry, or the history behind The Conjuring films, this episode offers an honest, unfiltered discussion on America’s most famous demonologists and the murky space between legend and legacy.

In this fun and free-flowing episode of Paranormal Lens, we take a lighthearted look at residual hauntings... but with a twist. What if the best way to understand them is actually through sandwiches?

If you’ve been following along, you know food keeps finding its way into our paranormal theories. In episode 5, we made you scared to eat ramen noodles because a ghost named Andy might be trapped inside. In episode 7, we warned that your pumpkin spice latte might conjure spirits. Now in episode 8, we’re making you scared to eat sandwiches... because you might just be devouring residual energy!

But it’s not just about food and fun metaphors. We also dive into dream states, time loops, and the most daunting question of all: is time even real? From playful analogies to deeper paranormal theories, this episode is a multi-directional conversation about residual energies, loops, and the strange ways time might work.

Whether you’re a seasoned paranormal investigator, a lover of ghost stories, or just here for the cheesy jokes, this episode has something for you.

Event season is officially here, and Paranormal Lens is kicking it off with our first LIVE in-person recording after an unforgettable weekend at MAD CON 8! In this episode, we dive headfirst into Spooky Season, from whether Pumpkin Spice lattes could summon spirits, to debating if the veil between worlds really is thinnest around Halloween.

But we don’t stop there. We reveal actual data on the most paranormally “active” time of year we’ve experienced as investigators... and the results may surprise you.

Later, we share our favorite Halloween movies, and trust us, our picks will surprise you even more.

Whether you’re a ghost hunter, horror fan, or just love all things paranormal, this episode is packed with creepy fun, supernatural insights, and seasonal laughs.
