Welcome to Episode 45 of The Paranormal Rundown! This is the final episode of Season 2, which we wrap up with just the Gang of Nerds. We have some pretty interesting discussion around the life of an Exorcist, Fr. Mike and David strike up a debate on Nephilim and the Demonic, we take a wide detour on the food and critters in the South, and eventually get to different ideas around Bigfoot Attacks. Along the way we touch on Insults to Exorcists, Preparing for Your First Exorcism, Exorcism Ministry Impact on the Priest, Charging for Exorcism, Disembodied Demonic Nephilim (DDNs), What ARE Demons, Feral Hogs, Pigs Feet and Chitlins, Bigfoot Food Sources, Okefenokee Swamp Bigfoot Attack, Nephilim to Giants to Bigfoot, Dead Bigfoot Removal Team, Invisible Bigfoot, Nephilim Caveman Theory. As you can see, this season ends with rabbit holes abound!

We will be taking a break for a month or two (probably two), but we will be back in no time with Season 3.

Welcome to Episode 44 of The Paranormal Rundown! In this episode we have Jeff join us from Falling Knife Films. Jeff has an extensive background in paranormal investigation and research, including multiple investigations with David. He also has a very creative side, now with a focus on AI generated video. Additionally, Jeff has had some fascinating results using AI as a psychic! Later in the episode we discuss our plans to validate some of this activity, with The Great Psychic Chat GPT Experiment, and how it might actually be possible. We dig deep into AI, Consciousness, Technology, and Science, with side roads that include The Carrington Event, Red Mercury, the Star Wars Program, Autonomous AI, AGI, Wilder Penfield, Quantum Tubules, Tokens in Tokens out, Spirit Manipulation of Technology, Electro-Neuro-Magnetic Pulse, AI Training, GPTs demonic voice, the Turing Test, Doctor GPT, GPT Analyzes Fabio, Bobby Mackey's, Energy Effects on Paranormal Activity, and Beginner's Luck. Oh, and Jeff shares with us an extremely unique (and perhaps a little disturbing) EVP of Chickens. So fire up your favorite AI research assistant, and prepare to step into a future where technology and the paranormal collide!

Welcome to Episode 43 of The Paranormal Rundown! Bert, the David Bowie look-a-like Dutch psychiatrist, is back with us again to discuss all things paranormal and psychological. Bert did his best to keep us on track, but I think he is going to have to schedule us for several more rounds of group therapy. We managed to cover Psychology vs Parapsychology, PSI, Tenhaeff, Nostradamus, Handling Paranormal and Spiritual Experiences in Therapy, Schizophrenia, The Mystery of Life Itself, The Castle of the Soul, The Desert Fathers and the Seven Steps to Habitual Sin, Childhood OCD, The Psychiatry of AI, AI as a Tool for the Neurodivergent, LLMs talking about Mary, Bullebak, and Frank Herbert's Dune. As you can see, we may need to up our dose of ADHD meds, but it certainly makes for an interesting Rundown!

As mentioned in our last episode, our numbering scheme has changed. However, some knucklehead told Vic the wrong episode number when we started, so you are not going crazy if you noticed that episode 43 is called 42 in all the audio references. I have taken the culprit out behind the woodshed and dealt with the problem, so I promise it won't happen again! Now, if you will excuse me while I go find an ice pack to sit on...

If you have any suggestions on what episode number we should use next time, please email us at [email protected]

Welcome to Episode 42 of The Paranormal Rundown! Our guest this week is Randy, who has had a great number of experiences and a lifelong interest in the Paranormal. We have some great discussion around The Crawfordsville Monster and other biologic UFOs, his experiences with Astral Projection and a Spider-like Crawler that terrorizes his parent's house, and paranormal experiences he has had in the medical laboratory setting. He also came with a list of questions for Vic about his Yowie experience, from episode 20. Randy is such a paranormal enthusiast that he even wrote us after the show with a few more questions, that we record a response to at the end. There is also a theme that comes up multiple times in Randy's analysis, the idea that paranormal activity is manifested out of some sort of intent, or on demand. We apply this idea to UFOs, Bigfoot, and more. As Vic would say, this is Prime, Grade A Paranormal Rundown! Randy fit right in, and we dig into all kinds of topics and tangents, including Sky Jelly, Chat GPT and Hallucinations, Cracks in the Paranormal Field, Evolution Driven Dimensional Travel, Generational Paranormal Activity, Chromatophores, Oz Effect Silence, Defense Mechanisms of Cryptids, and more. This is a long one, so get a snack, get comfortable, and enjoy the ride!

The podcast we mention that I met Randy through, is Into The Fray with Shannon Legro. We highly recommend that you listen to his episode, where he goes into much more detail on what he and his family have experienced: https://intothefrayradio.com/Episodes/itf-355-paranormal-breaches-and-glitches/

You may have noticed that the numbering of our episodes has changed. Going forward we will be referring to episodes as just an continuous, additive number. We will still release in seasons, taking a break in the summer, but for everyone's ease of access, the episode numbers will no longer contain a season. This will also make it easier to link the episodes to the new podcast coming soon, Paranormal Rundown Rabbit Holes.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 20 of The Paranormal Rundown! This episode we have several great topics to explore. First, we discuss The Old Icehouse, and how Vic grew up around several perfect paranormal locations, including Waverly Hills. We also discuss Phantom Social Workers and child trafficking, and Tears in Reality. Along the way we wander through 

Haunted Tourism Causing Paranormal Activity, Paranormal Dogs, Demonic Obsession, The Demonic Long Game, Phantom Social Workers, Child Trafficking, a Glitch in the Matrix, DejaVu DejaVu, Demonic Ladder Injuries, The Car Crash that Wasn't, and the Boy who Became His Brother. This is classic Paranormal Rundown, so buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 19 of The Paranormal Rundown! This week our guest is Roddy, from the Destination Nightmare B-Movie Podcast. We start off with a deep dive into the idea of marrying non-traditional objects (ie: not human), then we do some interesting analysis of magnetic pole shifts, but we definitely get into 'bad' paranormal and horror movies for a bit. Roddy also recounts his many, many experiences with shadow figures, starting at a really young age, as well as seeing groups of them as an adult! Other topics include Ghost Alignment to Magnetic Poles, Paranormal Car Talk, Magnetically Aligning Ghost Apps, Ley Lines, Underground Nuclear Explosions, The Tungusta Event, Acknowledging The Dead, Corner of Your Eye Phenomena, and Demons Laughing at Father Mike in the Hospital. We also have a guest appearance of Beelzabubba from the Tailer Trash Terrors podcast, so you dont want to miss this one!

We will be looking for an additional co-host in the future, so if you feel like you have it in you to sit in with the Gang of Nerds for a couple hours every other week, feel free to contact us at [email protected]

If you would just like to be considered for a guest appearance, please contact us at [email protected]. I figure if you reached this point in the show notes, you already know what we look for in a guest!

Season 2, Episode 17 is a bit of a different adventure for us. We have decided to break down the concepts presented in a Joe Rogan interview with Thomas Campbell, author of My Big TOE (Theory Of Everything). Campbell is a physicist who began experiencing the paranormal in college. Because of those experiences, he has gone on a life long quest to understand and explain them from a scientific perspective. Through that study and experimentation, he has created a very rich, flushed out theory of how all of life as we know it works. Further, he believes that his theory has sufficient results to answer many of the modern questions between Newtonian and Quantum Physics.

We strongly suggest that you watch Joe Rogan's interview of Campbell prior to this episode, in order to get the full context. If not, we do give an overview at the beginning of the show. https://youtu.be/tQR6SFK7lFc?si=mtIRUB-hxrNLUtJM

Our overall intent here is to map Campbell's framework and components to our understanding of God, all of Creation, and the many paranormal experiences and concepts we have discussed in the past.

Along the way I relate a relevant Near Death Experience of a coworker, Vic rather dubiously declares himself the Best Wordle Player in the World, Father Mike embarks on the First Paranormal Rundown Wordle Intuition Psychic Blocking Experiment, and we discuss topics including Out of Body Experiences, Simulation Theory, Intuition vs Intellect, Creative Uses for Computer Punch Cards, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, World of Warcraft, Leroy Jenkins, What is Hell, Various Paranormal Concepts, The Borg, and more. We really hope you enjoy this breakdown of Thomas Campbell's view of the universe, and our mapping of it to The Paranormal Rundown!

Please contact us at [email protected] and let us know what you think of this episode. We really enjoyed this format, and are thinking about making it a regular feature. Also, we are always looking for guests for the show. All we request is a strong interest in paranormal topics, and a good sense of humor!

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 16 of The Paranormal Rundown! The Gang of Nerds is down to a Duo tonight, just Vic and Dave. So we decided to do something a little different (unusual for us, right?!) Vic is going to take the role of the Atheist, Material Reductionist, and Dave is going to be the Everything is Paranormal, God Loving Hippie. The goal was to debate the possible reality of the topic, and maybe choose a winner. We did have a fairly decent list of paranormal topics, but in true Rundown fashion we only got through Consciousness, a little about the Akashic Record, and a shallow dive into Magick. We also dive into an EVP captured on the last episode with Fr. Justin, and discuss EVPs in general. Along the way we bounce around the subjects of Animal Consciousness, EEG Recorded at Time of Death, Higher Levels of Consciousness, Dolphins, PrayTV, Plant Consciousness, Universal Consciousness, Spooky Action At A Distance - SAAADs, Harry Houdini, Psychics vs Mediums, Remote Viewing, Irrefutable EVPs, Magick, Christian Rituals, Magical Contract Negotiation and Fulfillment, and the Crossroads Demon. Hopefully we did the Gang proud. I am almost certain Sky Daddy lover Dave smacked that Atheist Vic down pretty hard...

As always, if you have any questions, comments, or you really liked this episode format, please let us know at [email protected]

If you didn't like this show, please let us know twice!!

Vic would also like to know your thoughts on Cedric and Avalon. But be careful, Avalon has been know to cause a nightmare or two when offended...

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 15 of The Paranormal Rundown! This episode we have Father Justin Allen join us. Fr. Justin is a priest with the Charismatic Episcopal Church, and fellow seminary student with Deacon Josh. His perspective is especially interesting for the Rundown, as he has not spent any significant time in his life thinking deeply on the paranormal or supernatural. We also have a very lively discussion about a green Tupperware lid that materialized in Vic's sink! The main topics discussed are Things Walking Around that are not Human, Mysteries of the Sacraments (especially Confession), Why the Paranormal Frightens Us, and Consciousness. Along the way we touch on Podcast EVPs, Haunted Locations, Types of Ghosts, Unknown vs Unknowable, Alien Abduction and Implants, Alien Baptism, Koko the Gorilla, What is In the Image of God, Consciousness, Personality in the Womb, and Jason the Horse. Fr. Mike is especially frisky on this one, so don't miss out!

P.S. - Speaking of Podcast EVPs, be sure to listen closely at 1 Hour, 38 Minutes, and 45 seconds. Whatever is speaking there is on Fr. Justin's channel only, and it doesn't sound much like Fr. Justin...

If you have any questions, comments, or you happen to have the bowl that goes with Vic's lettuce keeper lid, please let us know at [email protected]
