  • Superb!

    I listen to a lot of podcasts on various topics - but I really enjoy listening to those that deal with the paranormal. Every few months, I would trawl through and try to discover new podcasts. I recently discovered this podcast, and it is superb. I love the subject matter, the production values of each episode, and most of all, Michelle’s presenter’s tone of voice. All too often, paranormal podcast hosts are loud, brash and sensationalise everything. Michelle is quite different. Each episode is ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Poltergeist Boy: Between Ghosts and Demons Part 4
Q: Could you detail the rituals or practices the Warrens were carrying out?
The host and Ciaran discuss the Warrens' approach, including calls for spiritual intervention, and how these interventions intersected with the boy's experiences and the school's attempts to manage the situation.
The Poltergeist Boy: Between Ghosts and Demons Part 4
Q: What happened after the initial incidents your case described?
Ciaran explains a period of ongoing disturbances and conflicting explanations between the school, medical authorities, and the Warrens, culminating in a controversial ritualized event and the questioning of the Warrens' involvement.
The Poltergeist Boy
Q: What was your experience with the Warrens and how did their involvement influence the course of events?
The Warrens were controversial and pushed a demonic interpretation of events, often attempting to take control and use the case to promote their narrative. They advocated exorcisms and sought to bring me to America, while the school and I tried to balance scientific inquiry with spiritual explanations, ultimately leading to tensions and a distancing from their involvement.
The Poltergeist Boy
Q: Can you summarize the nature of the haunting at the holiday home and how it affected you and the other family involved?
The haunting began with poltergeist activity in the holiday home, followed the family home to London and then to a boarding school. It involved apparitions, a girl named Susan, and a male figure in a brown suit; the activity intensified at the school, where it disrupted daily life and led to a complex dynamic involving staff, the family, and investigators like the SPR.
Deborah Hyde and the Green Children of Woolpit: Lost Children, Fairy Folk, or Fear?
Q: So how then would you say that this story fits within the wider fairy folklore and medieval legends of that particular timeframe?
Hyde explains that fairy folkloric origins are complex and can't be simplified into a single understanding, reflecting a blend of many cultural influences.
