The Paranormal Prism Podcast

Could imaginary childhood friends and UFO encounters share a connection?

In this episode of The Paranormal Prism, I welcome writer, researcher, Sasquatch seeker and UFO experiencer Richard Monck for a conversation exploring high strangeness, consciousness and the unexplained.

Richard recalls his childhood companion, Nicholas, and a flying saucer sighting over his school playground in 1980 that sparked a lifelong curiosity. Together, they discuss synchronicity, the ideas of John Keel and Carl Jung, and Richard’s research into the mysterious death of Zygmunt Adamski.

The conversation then ventures into British Bigfoot research, filming on Dartmoor and a bizarre online interview involving claims of interdimensional Sasquatch orbs. Richard also introduces his work with UAPedia and his Substack, Cartography of Weird.

With humour, curiosity and a willingness to question extraordinary claims, this episode explores what keeps us searching—and why keeping an open mind also means asking difficult questions.

What does it really mean to be the witch next door?

In this episode of The Paranormal Prism, I welcome Gayle, The Witch Next Door, for a lively, humour-filled conversation about modern witchcraft, folk magic, and finding meaning in everyday rituals.

Gayle shares how nature, intention, crystals, and seasonal changes shape her practice, while challenging familiar stereotypes about witches. She also recounts the unsettling story of a supposedly haunted ring linked to a spirit named Agatha—and what her wife experienced after it arrived home.

The conversation turns to tarot, intuition, and divination, with Gayle explaining how she uses cards for reflection and guidance before giving Lee a reading of his own. Along the way, they explore the meeting point between spiritual belief and an investigator’s questioning approach.

Expect laughter, thoughtful debate, and a revealing glimpse into life as The Witch Next Door.

What does it feel like to sense a spirit—and how do you learn to trust that connection?

In this episode of The Paranormal Prism, I welcome Indigenous psychic medium Vanessa Peckford, a member of Maritime Ghost Investigations and the mediumship trio Triangles of Light.

Vanessa shares her journey from a Catholic upbringing and early unexplained experiences to exploring mediumship and reconnecting with her Indigenous heritage. She describes how she experiences messages through feelings, images, sounds and physical sensations, and explains her personal beliefs about spirits and the afterlife.

We also hear accounts from her investigations across Nova Scotia: an encounter at the remains of a fire-damaged home, a recording she believes captured the word “chef,” and a startling basement crash with no apparent source. Along the way, we discuss respectful investigation, personal boundaries, and interpreting SLS camera footage.

Expect thoughtful questions, fascinating personal stories, plenty of laughter—and a surprisingly memorable conversation about rubber ducks!

What makes Cannock Chase a hotspot for stories of ghosts, UFOs and mysterious creatures?

In this episode of The Paranormal Prism, I welcome Alex Page (Who expertly edited this episode), host of The Agenda Podcast UK, to explore the strange reports surrounding this atmospheric woodland. From black-eyed children to possible connections between paranormal encounters and UFO sightings, Alex shares how researching his documentary broadened his view of the unexplained.

Alex also recounts unsettling experiences from his childhood home and a night at Tortworth Court, where tapping sounds and apparent phantom footsteps prompted a change of room. Lee shares his own apparition encounter, while the pair discuss a chilling account passed on by a police officer.

The conversation reaches beyond hauntings to near-death experiences, consciousness and Alex’s belief that these mysteries may be connected. With curiosity, humour and plenty of questions. We explore how extraordinary personal experiences can change the way we see the world.

Join us for a fascinating journey into Cannock Chase and the mysteries that may lie beyond the veil.

What would you do if a television you had unplugged switched itself back on?

In this episode of The Paranormal Prism, I welcome back world traveller and exorcist Sadhu Dah to share a chilling account of his stay in a house in Borneo. What began as a visit to conduct spiritual ceremonies became a sleepless ordeal involving unexplained footsteps, strange reflections, objects moving, and the sound of a marching band coming from an empty bedroom.

Sadhu describes why he believed the presence was something more sinister than a ghost, how he sought help from his teacher, and the rituals he used in an attempt to contain it. Lee also explores Sadhu’s views on demonology, spiritual protection, and his belief that a single entity can present itself in multiple forms.

With unsettling encounters, thoughtful questions, and the familiar humour between Sadhu and I, this conversation takes listeners inside a case that Sadhu says remains unfinished.

What are ghosts—and could hauntings be more complicated than we imagine?

In this episode of The Paranormal Prism, I welcome Storyteller, Paranormal Consultant, and author Margo MacDonald to discuss her book, A Curious Presence: An Exploration of Ghosts and the People Who Haunt Them.

Margo shares her family’s connection to the unsettling Fire Spook of Caledonia Mills, her journey with The Haunted Walk, and memorable experiences from Alone in the Dark investigations. From unexplained footsteps to a mysterious voice answering “hello” in a historic building, these encounters continue to shape her questions about the paranormal.

Together, Margo and I explore ghost communication experiments, the value of open-minded skepticism, and why an unexplained experience deserves careful consideration before being labelled supernatural. Margo also reveals how interviews and investigations across Canada, the UK and the US helped develop her book—and challenged her own beliefs.

Join us for a conversation filled with eerie stories, humour and curiosity about the mysteries we still cannot explain.

Join me on Today’s The Paranormal Prism as i welcome Welsh journalist, author and cultural historian Mark Rees, host of Ghosts and Folklore of Wales, for a journey through Wales’s ghost stories and unexplained encounters.

Mark shares unusual experiences at Craig y Nos Castle, forgotten Victorian accounts and a chilling Swansea poltergeist case revisited six decades later, which  includes a witness’s childhood memory of a shadowy figure wearing a hat. We also explore mysterious recordings at the Prince of Wales pub in Kenfig and the Stone Tape theory: could buildings somehow retain echoes of their past?

With humour, curiosity and a journalist’s eye for detail, Mark explains how he preserves witness accounts while leaving listeners to draw their own conclusions. From haunted castles to an unexpected “interview” with a dog, this conversation explores how ghost stories keep local history, and the people within it, alive.

Tune in for Welsh folklore, paranormal mysteries and a thoughtful look at the stories behind the hauntings.

What happens when a near-death experience is frightening instead of peaceful?

On this episode of The Paranormal Prism, I speak with Kathy McDaniel, author of Misfit in Hell to Heaven Expat.

Kathy recounts the vivid and distressing experiences she remembers from an 18-day medically induced coma in 1999, followed by an encounter with a place she describes as filled with love and joy.

Kathy shares how difficult it was to talk about what happened, how the experience changed her beliefs, and why she now helps others who have had distressing near-death experiences. Lee asks about the details she remembers, the role her upbringing may have played, and how she makes sense of it all today.

In this episode of The Paranormal Prism, I welcome author and researcher Nomar Slevik to explore the strange stories that have shaped his lifelong interest in the unexplained.

Nomar recalls an unsettling childhood sighting in the sky, discusses UFO encounters and unusual creatures reported in Maine, and shares his experience investigating a former funeral home. They also talk about pale crawlers, whether different paranormal phenomena could be connected, and Nomar’s latest book, In the Pines.

Are these encounters separate mysteries, or could there be a connection we have yet to understand?

In this episode of The Paranormal Prism, I welcome author, paranormal investigator, and medium Rob Gutro for a conversation about ghosts, spirits, and the bonds we share with pets after they die.

Rob recounts seeing his grandfather after his death, the unexpected message he says his father gave at his own funeral, and the experiences with his dog Buzz that led him to explore pet communication. He also explains how he distinguishes ghosts from spirits and shares encounters from historic sites in England. I bring a personal story to the conversation, asking Rob about a strange dream before a family death, that i had, and possible signs from our beloved pet Maya.

It’s a thoughtful conversation about grief, unexplained experiences, and what those experiences can mean to the people who have them.
