PhDParanormal

Join Dr. Ed as he tries to keep it together as Dr. Evan discusses the haunting of the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Dr. Ed also tells us about the pretty horrific story of the Monte Cristo Homestead in New South Wales, Australia. Are you a fan of cryptids? Dr Ed updates us on the chupacabra showing up in Michigan (not really), Bigfoot showing up on Google Earth (also not really), and a ghost who wants to deny him coffee. Please give us a listen and share with your friends!

Aloha Spooky Listeners and welcome to 2023! We're back after the holiday hiatus..... and Dr. Evan is cold. It's snowy here, so let's travel to Hawaii! Dr. Ed tells us some history and background of Polynesian beliefs Dr. Evan discusses the royal hauntings of Iolani Palace and the Sheraton Princess Ka'iulani Hotel. Dr. Ed explores the alleged kasha in the Kaimuki neighborhood of Honolulu. What is a kasha? Think corpse eating ghost, that sometimes is a cat, that can choke you out. Hawaii: paranormal paradise? Oh, and if you visit don't be a dick.  

Join Drs. Evan and Ed as they celebrate Christmas around the world! We focus, especially, on traditions that are a little bit scary. We discuss the half-man/half-goat Krampus who might steal your naughty children. Frau Perchta who will disembowel you for poor housekeeping. Mari Lwyd in Wales will exchange naughty poems until she tries to drink all your beer. And finally, we end with a story of the terrifying Yule Cat (who Dr. Evan reallllllly wants to pet) from Iceland. Happy holidays, spooky friends, and be sure to wear your new socks!

Join Drs. Edwin and Evan as they explore the noisy spirits called poltergeists. What actually is a poltergeist and why do your intrepid podcasters know so many lines from the 1982 film "Poltergeist"? Learn about alleged events in Indianapolis, IN and Columbus, OH. And listen to Dr. Ed get punchy as Dr. Evan discusses the alleged poltergeist from Tennessee: the Bell Witch. Apparently Dr. Ed remembers some history regarding Andrew Jackson. 

Join Drs. Evan and Edwin as they bicker over the realities of children and ghosts. Dr. Ed introduces us to the "urban legend" of the Black Eyed Kids (BEK) of the United States and, maybe, England. Are they vampires? Demons? Aliens? Or as Dr. Evan suggests... fake. Dr. Evan follows up with some stories of children who reportedly see ghosts around them. Can psychology explain this to Dr. Ed's satisfaction? Probably not. And HAPPY THANKSGIVING! We are thankful to all of you for listening and supporting the podcast. 

Join Drs. Edwin and Evan as they travel to the land of deep dish pizza, hot dogs with pickles and peppers, and The Bean: Chicago. This Midwestern city is known for a number of different hauntings and we walk you through three. Learn about the devil baby in the important Hull House, the myth of H.H. Holmes and his penchant for murdering for money, and Resurrection Mary... the ghostly woman looking to party and to go back to sleep in a cemetery.  Also, enjoy Dr. Edwin learning the important linguistic distinction between teat and tit. Warning: Dr. Evan claps VERY loudly in this episode. 

Join Drs. Ed and Evan on their second "official" Halloween episode! Hear some tales of spook as told by the deep voiced Dr. Ed. Listen as they both laugh as they cannot be serious to save their lives. And Dr. Evan shares a poem about corn. Because she's from Indiana. Finally, Dr. Ed tells us about when he was almost murdered in a tent by a ghost.... or is Dr. Ed currently a ghost?? Happy Halloween, spooky friends!

Join Drs. Evan and Ed as they discuss the alleged Philadelphia Experiment, a conspiracy in which a naval destroyer allegedly became invisible and traveled 200 miles.  Did the navy discover and use alien technology? Was it simply a ghost ship that appeared and disappeared (hint: it wasn't)? Is this all part of a secret government conspiracy to hide the fact that aliens walk among us? Finally, how much physics does Dr. Evan REALLY know (hint: not much)?

*Hey friends, this is a rerecord because of trash audio in the earlier version!

Join Dr. Ed as he tells us (including Dr. Evan) about the rich lore and history of Iceland's many supernatural beings. We've got elves, we've got trolls, we've got many kinds of ghosts, and we have mispronunciations (serious, Icelandic is a beautiful but difficult language!). We end with a very spooky story involving a horse named Faxi and Dr. Evan's inappropriate laughter. 

Please join Drs. Ed and Evan as we discuss the Hotel Josephine once again..... with a twist! We are interviewing two guests today, Nicole and Dom, regarding their experiences ghost hunting at the hotel. Learn about EVPs and EMF, glowing cat balls, and German-speaking ghosts. Dave Thomas is not in this podcast.... or is he?
