  • Curveball Night: Haunted Jails, Spirit Apps, and Paranormal Passion

    In this “Curveball Night” episode of The Malliard Report, Jim Malliard leans into the unexpected. What begins as a routine show quickly becomes an exploration of the many sides of modern paranormal investigation—part community, part technology, and part human connection.

    The first segment welcomes Tracy and Matthew from the Old Crown Point Jail in Indiana, a historic site famous for John Dillinger’s escape and now a hub for paranormal activity. The pair share their work supporting the Lost Limbs Foundation, an organization helping children afford prosthetics through haunted events and investigations. Their conversation with Jim covers the haunting history of the jail, eerie full-bodied apparitions, and the real-world impact of turning ghost hunts into good causes.

    Next, Jim talks with Danny, the mind behind popular paranormal mobile tools like the Spirit Box App. What begins as a conversation about coding turns into a thoughtful dialogue about technology’s role in ghost hunting, the evolution of EMF apps, and how smartphones may hold the next wave of investigative potential. Danny’s insights bridge the gap between digital innovation and timeless curiosity about the afterlife.

    Finally, Jim reconnects with a longtime friend from Dark Alley Paranormal, diving into the grounded realities of investigation: parenting and patience, gear glitches, ghostly misfires, and why some of the best haunts aren’t prisons or asylums but humble, energy-rich spaces like hotels or even baseball fields. It’s a reminder that passion and purpose—not prestige—define good investigation.

    By the end, The Malliard Report once again delivers what fans love most: genuine conversations, humor, and grounded curiosity about the unknown. Whether it’s about haunted history, experimental tech, or the philosophy of ghost hunting itself, this episode is pure Malliard—where the paranormal meets Pennsylvania grit.

  • Curveball Night: Paranormal Unity, Spiritual Shadows, and the Truth Between Worlds

    In Curveball Night, Jim Malliard leans into unpredictability and turns it into one of his most authentic episodes yet. What begins as a scheduling puzzle evolves into an hour of candid, unexpected insight — proof that curiosity thrives even when plans fall apart.

    The show opens with Joanne H. Buchanan, author of I Am Wolf and Dragon’s Eye, whose stories blend myth, romance, and rebirth. Her conversation sets the tone for an evening about transformation — both personal and metaphysical.

    Next, Dr. Kimberly Rackley explores the nature of spiritual darkness, channeling, and the delicate interplay between light, energy, and intent. Her view of “darkness” as a neutral force — shaped by human choice rather than fear — pushes the conversation toward deeper, more reflective ground.

    From there, team member Fran joins in with a hilarious retelling of a field investigation gone wrong, bringing warmth and camaraderie to the mix.

    Finally, Jon Vanover closes the show with a hard-hitting critique of “paranormal unity” — questioning the groupthink, ego, and oversaturation that too often cloud genuine investigation. Together, he and Jim dissect how truth-seeking demands both skepticism and sincerity, even when it means standing alone.

    By the end of the hour, chaos becomes connection. It’s classic Malliard Report: live, real, thoughtful, and grounded — where the paranormal meets Pennsylvania grit.

    00:00 – Jim kicks off “Curveball Night,” joking about volume levels and the unpredictability of live radio as he prepares for a whirlwind of four guests in one hour.05:00 – Author Joanne H. Buchanan joins to discuss I Am Wolf and Dragon’s Eye, mixing fantasy, Atlantis mythology, and the human need for love and redemption.10:00 – Joanne opens up about her blogging projects, anthology Nightmares and Heartbeats, and community contests connecting writers and readers in the paranormal-lit space.15:00 – Dr. Kimberly Rackley joins the show, diving into spirituality, the nature of darkness, and how unseen energies affect both paranormal research and daily life.20:00 – The discussion deepens into the moral gray areas between good and evil — and how “darkness” doesn’t always mean “bad.” Jim’s humor keeps the tone grounded and human.25:00 – Dr. Rackley explains her process of channeling horoscopes and numerological insights, describing how cosmic patterns inform her understanding of paranormal experiences.30:00 – Jim shares a synchronicity story — a moment of numerical “coincidence” that sparked his fascination with hidden signs in the everyday world.35:00 – Together, they unpack the difference between spiritual darkness and true evil, reflecting on free will, human choice, and the metaphysical lessons behind both.40:00 – Investigator Fran joins for a lighter segment, recalling the legendary “bridge incident” — a muddy misadventure that proves teamwork sometimes means laughter through chaos.45:00 – Paranormal researcher Jon Vanover calls in to tackle one of the community’s toughest debates: “paranormal unity.” Can collaboration survive when ego and misinformation thrive?50:00 – Jim and Jon exchange candid thoughts about integrity in the field, the flood of shallow investigations, and how real inquiry means saying what others won’t.55:00 – Jim closes the night reflecting on what chaos can teach — that curiosity, conversation, and honesty matter more than perfect plans.

    * “Darkness isn’t always evil — it’s what we choose to do with it.” — Dr. Kimberly Rackley

    * “Sometimes, knowledge hits you upside the head — and that’s when you start paying attention.” — Jim Malliard

    * “It’s not about finding ghosts; it’s about finding truth.” — Jon Vanover

    * “Integrity still matters — even when the field forgets it.” — Jim Malliard

    * “The best nights are the ones that don’t go as planned.” — Jim Malliard
