Write a Review of Paranormal Podcast

girijad83, February 17, 2006
Reviewer: girijad83 from India

The Paranormal Podcast by Jim Harold is a weekly podcast featuring everything spooky, unexplained, mysterious and arcane in the paranormal world. The host interviews experts in the subject each week, to get their explanations, thoughts and explications of theories on topics ranging from ghosts, vampires and Mothman to dreams and the 2012 theory.

For example, in the September 26 podcast, the host interviews British author Geoff Stray on the theories on 2012, which predict an apocalyptic event in the year 2012. In the October 3 podcast, the subject is the 'Mothman', a creature that reportedly frightened a town in West Virginia. Jim Harold interviews author Jeff Wamsley to get the 'facts' on this subject.

This is an interesting, though sometimes spooky, podcast. Even though you may or may not believe them to be true, take the decision after listening to this entertaining podcast. You will enjoy it, at least. I recommend it to all those with an interest in the bizarre and the mysterious.

While going through our "vaults" we found this interview with Jeff Belanger that was taped in Fall 2006 but never released.  Jeff talks about his then-new book "Ghosts of War". 

The show was thought to be lost but since we found it and Jeff is always such a good guest we decided to post it despite its age.  Below you can find a link to many of Jeff's books at Amazon.com:

You can also follow Jeff at GhostVillage.com where he is the chief cook & bottlewasher!  Seriously, it is a great site for those interested in the paranormal.  We hope to have Jeff on again soon to discuss his upcoming book.  Thanks Jeff!

Note: The sound on this show is not quite up to par with our Sept 2008 standards since we have upgraded our software & hardware but it is certainly listenable.
