Bridget Marquardt and the Paranormal - The Paranormal Podcast 949
For the 21st anniversary of The Paranormal Podcast, Jim welcomes Bridget Marquardt, host of Ghost Bunny and longtime paranormal aficionado, for a special conversation recorded at Spotify Studios. Bridget traces her fascination with the unexplained back to a frightening childhood experience with the supernatural. She also shares stories from her time at the Playboy Mansion, including the apparition of a woman she recognized, and recalls a terrifying night at Louisiana’s Myrtles Plantation filled with pounding footsteps, unseen activity, and more. Bridget and Jim explore how their understanding of the paranormal has expanded beyond the traditional idea that every ghost is simply a deceased person. They discuss possible connections among spirits, UFOs, cryptids, time slips, elemental beings, reincarnation, near-death experiences, and a larger universal consciousness. Bridget also explains why helping people feel less alone in their experiences remains central to her work, her commitment to highlighting women and other underrepresented voices in the paranormal, and what listeners can expect from her Ghost Bunny podcast.

Science of the Supernatural - The Paranormal Podcast 948
What happens when neuroscience, psychology, and the paranormal meet? Dr. Melissa Maffeo, author of Science of the Supernatural: Critical Thinking for the Mind and Brain, joins Jim to explore how fear, expectation, sleep paralysis, infrasound, and the quirks of human memory can shape experiences that feel unmistakably supernatural. They also dig into near-death experiences, alien abductions, psychic readings, false memories, and the limits of paranormal investigation. Jim and Dr. Maffeo do not agree on everything, which makes for a lively and thoughtful conversation about skepticism, belief, and whether science can explain the unexplained without dismissing the people who experience it.

His Past Life Memories Were Horrifying - The Paranormal Podcast 947
What would it mean to believe you had lived a past life connected to one of history’s darkest chapters? Author Benjamin Carraud shares the story behind Goodbye, Fields of Prokhorovka: Past Life Memories of a Waffen-SS Officer, including the spontaneous memories that began while he was living in China, his efforts to rule out conventional explanations, and the research that eventually led him to the family of the man he believes he once was. Benjamin discusses the emotional weight of those memories, how the experience changed his views on reincarnation, and why he does not consider himself the same person as the officer. Instead, he believes there may be a continuity of consciousness connecting the two lives. NOTE: This episode discusses an alleged past-life experience involving a Waffen-SS officer. Examination of an individual perpetrator’s psychology does not minimize the Waffen-SS’s participation in the Holocaust and other war crimes, nor diminish the suffering of its victims. Both the guest and I reject any glorification of the SS. This interview is simply the author’s account of what he believes to be memories of a past life.

The UFO Bombshell BEFORE Roswell - The Paranormal Podcast 946
Was Roswell really the first major American UFO crash story? Author Paul Blake Smith joins Jim to discuss a case he believes deserves far more attention than it gets: the reported 1941 crash near Cape Girardeau, Missouri. His book, The UFO Bombshell Before Roswell: Missouri’s 1941 Crash and Cover-Up, explores claims of a downed craft, strange bodies, military involvement, and a local minister allegedly called to the scene under extraordinary circumstances. Jim and Paul dig into the witness accounts, the historical setting of pre-war America, and why a case like this may have stayed buried for so long. Along the way, they discuss possible links to government secrecy, earlier European crash claims, recovered technology, and the larger question of whether the UFO story began long before most people think. It is a fascinating look at an overlooked case that challenges the usual timeline of UFO history.

AI: Scarier Than Any Ghost Story - The Paranormal Podcast 945
Artificial intelligence is not a ghost, a UFO, or a cryptid, but it may be one of the strangest and most unsettling mysteries of our time. On this episode of The Paranormal Podcast, Jim talks with A. G. G. Liu, co-author of The Handy Artificial Intelligence Answer Book, about the rise of AI and the big questions it raises about consciousness, control, creativity, and what it means to be human. Could machines ever become truly aware? Are we building tools we can manage, or something that may eventually outthink us? Jim and A. G. G. dig into the promises and dangers of AI, from medicine and scientific breakthroughs to job disruption, cybersecurity threats, AI-generated art, energy demands, and even artificial companions. It is a fascinating, sometimes unnerving conversation about a technology that is no longer science fiction. Whether you use AI every day, avoid it completely, or still are not sure what to make of it, this episode will give you plenty to think about.

America's Greatest Haunting You've Never Heard Of - The Paranormal Podcast 944
Before Amityville, before the Warrens, and long before famous hauntings became part of pop culture, there was the Wizard Clip haunting. Dr. Stan Williams joins Jim to dig into this strange and deeply historic case from the 1790s, where a farmer named Adam Livingston found himself at the center of unexplained poltergeist activity, mysterious fabrics cut into crescent shapes, and a haunting that shook an entire community. Dr. Williams, author of the Wizard Clip Haunting trilogy, shares how a possible film project turned into years of research through courthouse records, church archives, old accounts, and one surprising discovery about a key priest in the story. It is part ghost story, part historical mystery, and part spiritual battle, centered on what just might be America’s greatest haunting you’ve never heard of.

Visiting The Rock n Roll Twilight Zone - The Paranormal Podcast 943
Rock and roll has always had a shadow side, and Richard Syrett joins Jim to explore some of its strangest stories from his new book, Tales from the Rock and Roll Twilight Zone. From the roots of blues folklore and Robert Johnson’s legendary crossroads tale to theories about the Beatles, “Paul is Dead,” and the eerie staying power of rock’s greatest mysteries, Richard looks at why music history seems to attract so many strange rumors, unsettling coincidences, and unanswered questions. Jim and Richard also dig into the 27 Club, the tragic plane crash that changed Lynyrd Skynyrd forever, the mysteries surrounding Elvis Presley’s final days, and the suspicious circumstances some have associated with the death of Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones. It is a wide-ranging conversation about fame, myth, tragedy, conspiracy, and the powerful hold these stories still have on music fans decades later.

Charting Love with Astrology - The Paranormal Podcast 942
Can astrology help us better understand love, attraction, compatibility, and the patterns we keep repeating in relationships? On this episode of The Paranormal Podcast, Jim talks with Canadian astrologer, and author Tracy Quinlan about her book Charting Love with Astrology. Tracy explains how the birth chart can offer insight into romance, marriage, friendship, sexuality, timing, and the deeper dynamics that shape the way we connect with others. This is a fun and thoughtful conversation that goes beyond the usual “what’s your sign?” approach. Tracy discusses why astrology is more about tendencies than fixed fate, how opposites and so-called incompatible signs may actually work together, and what relationship houses can reveal about where love might show up in a person’s life. We also touch on soul connections, relationship patterns, the role of Venus and Mars, and Tracy’s fascinating work with sound.
