Room 217. Phantom piano music. Children running through empty hallways.

This week on That’s Kinda Paranormal, Casey and Dave check into one of America’s most infamous haunted hotels — The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado.

Known as the inspiration behind Stephen King’s The Shining, the Stanley has built a reputation that goes far beyond fiction. Guests and staff have reported unexplained footsteps, objects moving on their own, disembodied laughter, shadow figures, and the lingering presence of former owners F.O. and Flora Stanley.

But how much of the hotel’s legend is history… and how much is Hollywood?

Pack your bags — we’re checking in.

You know him.
You (maybe) trust him.
But should you really be letting a flying baby fire weapons at people?

This week on That’s Kinda Paranormal, Casey and Dave investigate Cupid — aka history’s smallest agent of emotional damage.

We’re talking ancient myths, chaotic love stories, and the very questionable evolution from Greek god Eros to modern Valentine’s Day icon. Along the way we ask the important questions, like:

• Who gave him arrows?
• Why are there TWO kinds of arrows??
• And has Cupid ever considered… literally anything else as a hobby?

Romance! Chaos! Mild emotional distress!

WE'RE BACK! Did you miss us?

It’s finally happening… the Chupacabra episode has escaped containment.

On this episode of That’s Kinda Paranormal, Casey and Dave dive deep into one of the most infamous cryptids of all time — a creature blamed for drained livestock, strange attacks, and decades of fear across Puerto Rico, Latin America, and the American Southwest.

We break down where the legend began, how it spread, and why the Chupacabra keeps changing shape depending on who’s telling the story. From reptilian nightmares to hairless canines, this episode explores the history, sightings, science, and cultural impact behind the “goat sucker.”

Is it a monster? A misidentified animal? A modern legend fueled by panic and pop culture?
Check on your goats, and join us.

Dave may be down, but the spooky doesn’t stop.

Christmas has a dark side — and his name is Krampus.

In this special holiday episode, we take our deepest folklore dive yet into the ancient origins, cultural evolution, and modern revival of one of winter’s most feared figures. Long before Santa, Krampus roamed Alpine villages enforcing morality, punishing misbehavior, and embodying the chaos of winter itself.

We explore how Krampus evolved from pagan winter spirit to Saint Nicholas’s terrifying companion, how communities used fear as a survival tool, and why masked Krampus runs still shake towns across Europe today.

Expect history, anthropology, mythology, psychology — and plenty of banter — as we unpack why humanity keeps inviting monsters into the holidays.

And hope you stayed off the naughty list.

In this episode, Casey and Dave travel back to the 1600s to uncover the chilling hauntings of Plymouth, Massachusetts.
