Grave robbing is one of mankind's oldest professions. It's like taking candy from a baby, if the baby was an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh and the candy was all the cool sh*t they were buried with. But 33 years ago, a team of Italian archeologists dug up a little more than they could handle. They discovered a hidden necropolis, where those who were buried inside had been NAILED to the earth. Why? It's time for Rory and Kit to investigate...

In 1966 a Canadian tourist visiting London, Reverend Ralph Hardy, took a photo that would become notorious as one of the greatest pieces of paranormal evidence ever captured. Despite consulting photographic experts and even Kodak themselves, it has never been proven to be a hoax. On this episode of This Paranormal Life, Kit and Rory investigate the site of this event: the Tulip staircase within the Queen's House in London, try to understand whether the events of 1966 were really paranormal, and even attempt to recreate Ralph Hardy's fateful photograph!

In 1966, the small town of Wanaque, New Jersey was visited by a strange light in the night sky. Locals watched in awe as it zipped around at impossible speeds and even shot a LIGHT BEAM down towards the icy ground. Witnesses were told it was simply a helicopter, but that explanation was hard to agree with when only 9 months later... it appeared again

In 1966, banana farmer named George Pedley saw something truly bananas. A UFO emerged from underneath the water of a lagoon and disappeared into the sky above him.

#364 ROOM 217 - The REAL Hotel that Inspired the Shining

In the world of the paranormal, cryptids are terrifying enough as they are. Sasquatch. Chupacabra. The Squonk. There are more than enough scary beasts roaming the earth to keep paranormal investigators up at night. Unfortunately for them, though, there are certain creatures to be even more fearful of… enter the Batsquatch. Deep in the Pacific North West, an area already famous for Sasquatch encounters, lives a Bat/Bigfoot hybrid beast. Fused together in the molten core of the earth inside Mount Saint Helens, it burst forth in the 1980s to stalk the population of Oregon and Washington. Time for Rory and Kit to track it down and investigate.
