Welcome to this weeks Dark Minisode.

On today's Dark Minisode, a junior school teacher from Kent shares the harrowing events that followed her mother’s death—beginning with a simple keepsake and escalating into a month of footsteps, shifting objects, and an oppressive sadness that seemed to seep through her Victorian home. But when 'multiple' presences are felt in her bedroom one evening, there follows a 12 month haunting that ultimately reveals both a dark secret, and some shocking realisations.

Stay safe,

Kevin.

Welcome back, to Dark Realms.

For today's Dark Realm, we step inside the ancient walls of Lancaster Castle, a fortress with nearly a thousand years of violence, imprisonment, and whispered hauntings, as Dark Realms uncovers three of its most chilling legends. From the tormented shadows of its medieval dungeons to the echoing halls once ruled by monastic fear, and finally to the dreaded tower tied to the Pendle Witch trials, today, this episode explores the castle’s most infamous spirits and the terrifying encounters they leave in their wake. With its grim history of executions, witchcraft trials, and restless souls, Lancaster Castle remains one of Britain’s darkest locations—and its past is waiting for you.

Stay safe,

Kevin.

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.

Today we have one of the most layered and eerie encounters we've ever covered, and also to add to it's rarity, it's a previous submitter who has taken me up on the "reach back out if anything further happens" which I often end experiences with. Because tody, Amrutha, who first told us of her encounters in Season 19's "Tinker Tailor Tulpa Why?" episode, has returned...and she's not alone. she describes how a series of subtle, deeply personal disturbances inside her husband’s ancestral home slowly escalated into something far darker than she ever expected. What began as fleeting sensations and quiet oddities soon grew into chilling encounters that blurred the line between sleep, presence, and reality itself. From a haunting episode of paralysis to unexplained figures, phantom movements, whispered mimicry, and a ritual that may have awakened a truly unsettled past.

Stay safe,

Kevin.

Welcome back, to this weeks Dark Minisode.

Today's minisode is not one for the faint hearted, which is my way of saying if you listen with children maybe give this a "proof listen" first. Because today we hear from a young woman from rural Missouri reflects on a childhood shaped by terror, a home plagued by unexplainable phenomena, and a darkness that seemed determined to claim her. As her family unravelled under grief and illness, something far more sinister moved in — escalating from shadows and whispers to a force that followed her into adulthood. Years later, after surviving isolation, manipulation, and a desperate battle for her own soul, she reveals the journey that led her back to safety, faith, and a long-awaited peace. 

Stay safe,

Kevin.

Welcome back, to Dark Realms,

In our first "Non-locale" Dark Realms, we take a deep dive into the chilling history of the Ouija board — from ancient spirit-communication practices to its rise as a mass-market “talking board” shrouded in mystery and fear. We explore why this seemingly simple tool has fascinated millions, terrified others, and earned condemnation from the Roman Catholic Church. Along the way, we examine two of the most infamous and unsettling cases linked to Ouija use: the tragic haunting of Estefanía Gutiérrez Lázaro in Spain, and the real-life possession of Roland Doe that inspired The Exorcist. Dark history, religious warnings, and disturbing eyewitness accounts converge in a gripping journey into one of the world’s most feared occult objects.

Stay safe,

Kevin.

Welcome back to The Dark Paranormal,

For our Mid-Season Episode, we explore a family history marked by cultural pressure, misunderstanding, and the unexplained. Set across decades in rural and urban India, the storyteller revisits her grandmother’s life as it slowly became overshadowed by disturbing behaviour, strange events around an isolated housing quarters, and a series of incidents no one in the family has ever been able to fully explain. Blending cultural beliefs, mental health struggles, and eerie encounters that defy easy answers, this episode looks at the fine line between tragedy, superstition, and the possibility that something unseen may have taken root in one woman’s life.

Stay safe,

Kevin.

Welcome, to a double dose of Dark Minisodes,

Last week it was rightly pointed out that there was no Minisode on the main feed, a total "Hands up" blunder by myself.

So today you have a double not-so-mini Dark Minisode. Our Patreons can re-listen to the second minisode of course, but I've placed the "planned" minisode for this week first so the choice is theirs.

However, today we have two amazing experiences, firstly we follow an eighteen-year-old listener from India as she finally shares the haunting secret that has shadowed her childhood, her home, and even her family line. What begins in a relative’s house steeped in occult whispers soon spirals into years of terrifying encounters—from impossible apparitions to violent unseen forces that leave lasting marks. As she prepares to start college and rebuild her life, she reveals the truth behind her apartment’s dark history, the entity that attached itself to her, and the desperate steps taken to break free. 

Next, we explore a lifetime of eerie theatre encounters from Ohio storyteller Charlie, whose family’s history on the stage seems intertwined with something far beyond the spotlight. From unexplained footsteps in an army theatre overseas, to objects moving on their own in a beloved community playhouse, to a childhood moment that left a mark, Charlie’s experiences slowly build toward a truly chilling final encounter during his college years — one that still haunts him a decade later. 

Stay safe,

Kevin.

Welcome back to Dark Realms,

In this unsettling journey into the abandoned Pennhurst State School and Hospital, we uncovers the chilling legends that linger within one of America’s most infamous institutions. Once home to decades of mistreatment, emotional suffering, and long-buried secrets, Pennhurst is now said to echo with unexplained footsteps, icy drafts, shadowy figures, and an atmosphere thick with the memories of those who never found peace. Today we explore three of the site’s most talked-about hauntings — each more disturbing than the last — revealing why investigators, historians, and seasoned paranormal teams consider Pennhurst one of the most terrifying locations in the United States.

Stay safe,

Kevin.

Welcome back, to a The Dark Paranormal

Today's listener submission is about a journey to Fredericksburg, Texas. Two friends on a weekend getaway find their discounted hotel room above a historic brewery turning into the setting of an unexplainable all-night ordeal. What begins as a quirky stay in an old building quickly spirals into a relentless yet specific cycle of paranormal disturbances, and a mystery no logic can quite untangle. As the pair struggle to stay calm through the escalating disturbances, they soon realise they are not the only guests experiencing something unnatural within the walls of this centuries-old property. 

Stay safe,

Kevin.
