Welcome to Season 2, Episode 9 of The Paranormal Rundown! The Gang of Nerds has been obliterated this month, Vic has Covid, David has neck problems, Fr. Mike is in a lot of pain, and JJ is taking in the fine dining and culture of Japan. Since we weren't able to get together and record a new episode, we thought we would do a recap of Season One. This started out as a simple idea of pull the top clips out of the season and make an episode out of it, but it turned into having about 9 hours or more of really great conversation! As a result, we decided to make it a four part series. We will be publishing an episode each Friday through the end of the year. Sort of a Paranormal Rundown countdown to 2025. Each episode will feature the best clips from five episodes last season. So that it is not just reruns, Vic and David will be adding a little commentary on each of the episode and history of the rundown as we go.  

This episode has conversation that covers Crop Circles, Hairy Hands, Ouija Boards, Estes Method, Azazel, Demons, Bamboo Chicken, Rocky Mountain Oysters, Cockroach Demon, Shared Stories, Hundredth Monkey Effect, The Antichrist, Bigfoot Encounter, Cheeseburger Cravings, Ghost Police Calls, and Spontaneous Combustion. Talk about a wide list of topics! We also have clips from our first guests, Father Michael Birdsong, paranormal writer Anna Maria Manalo, and retired police officer Val Zavala. We really enjoyed going back through these episodes and listening to some fascinating, and sometimes hilarious, conversation. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

We also have an ask of you the listener. David has been thinking of taking short clips like this out of each episode, and publishing it as it's own podcast. It would be maybe a 30-45 minute episode with some of the more interesting conversation from a full Rundown. If you have suggestions, or would like to see something like that, please email us at [email protected]. And as always, if you have any interest on joining us for a rundown, please let us know.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 6 of The Paranormal Rundown! We have our first return guest this week, Sylvia Shults has joined us for another round of fun filled Paranormal Dork Talk! Sylvia has written many books in the genres of Paranormal Non-Fiction and both Romantic and Horror Fiction. She is also has a podcast called Lights Out. As a librarian, she has deep knowledge on many paranormal (and other) topics, and is an absolute joy to talk to.

Due to a slight technical (Vic) problem, and a failure by the backup system (Dave), we lost the first 35-45 minutes of the show. Even so, we still wound up with over two and a half hours of excellent discussion. We touch on a ton of topics this episode, including Ghost Stories, Monsters, Yokai and Yurei, Soviet Werewolves, Military Dogmen, The Cole Hollow Monster, Americas Most Haunted Small Town, Faking Dinosaur Footprints, Statistical Analysis of the Paranormal, the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film, The Enfield Horror (NOT the Poltergeist), Dinosaur Ghosts, Animal Ghosts, Psychic Entanglement, Paranormal Hotspots, Ley Lines, MK Ultra, Poltergeists, Sylvia's experience at 30 East Drive, Boo Bear, Haunted Dolls Talking Bad, Aokigahara, Self Mummified Monks, The Poe Museum, Baldwin's Book Barn and Vic's Amish / Quaker Ghost sighting, Hallucinating Up A Haunt, Grave Deeds and Dead Plots, Jenny Wade House in Gettysburg, Peanut Soup, Fabio the Sasquatch Ghost, Sasquatch Canadian Tribe, and we wrap it up with some UFO stories from Vic. This is a great example of a Rundown episode, I think we may have covered more in this one than just about any other! So get comfortable, your going to be entertained for a good long while.
