*Apologies all, the midweek 'Encounters' episode was released today instead of the (now correctly uploaded) Episode 5* This week, for both our mid-season AND Halloween episode, we hear from our listener Neil, a man whose journey towards recovery takes an unexpected and deeply disturbing turn. Within the walls of a remote Welsh institution, seemingly insignificant details begin to suggest that something is terribly wrong. And as the boundaries between perception, reality, and the unexplained begin to blur, Neil finds himself confronting a terrifying realisation...sometimes, the greatest danger isn’t what you hear in the darkness, but how 'instinctively' you might respond.

For today’s Encounters, our listener Nate shares a series of increasingly disturbing paranormal experiences centred around a historic theatre in the old mining town of Magna, Utah. Where the boundary between performance and reality appears to have become dangerously blurred. When the performances end, the audience has gone home, and the theatre, supposedly, sits empty…who—or what—remains?

Beyond Athens picturesque streets and university buildings lies a darker history, where the boundaries between the living and the dead are said to be unusually thin. From unsettling local legends to disturbing events rooted in reality, Athens is a place where certain stories refuse to stay buried, certain spaces seem reluctant to surrender their secrets, and the past may not be quite as distant as we’d like to believe.

Today we hear from Rosie, whose job involves checking empty properties and preparing them for arriving guests, there has never been much reason to question what happens inside a house once the doors are locked and everyone has gone. But what happens when a house appears to have a life of its own? Can an unseen presence genuinely have good intentions? And perhaps most disturbingly, how can you ever be certain that something offering comfort isn't expecting something in return? Stay safe, Kevin .

On this week’s Encounters, Tom takes us to a remote campsite in Northumberland, where what should have been a relaxing weekend with a friend became an experience neither has been able to forget. As the night draws in, an unsettling warning, an unnatural silence, and something that seems to know far more than it should leave us questioning just how safe we really are when we believe we’re alone. And perhaps more disturbingly, whether some things are simply waiting for an invitation. Stay safe, Kevin. Love the paranormal? Us too!

Some things are passed down through generations. Memories, traditions, family stories. But what if something far darker could be inherited too? For today’s listener, the unexplained has never been confined to a single house, a fleeting encounter, or a childhood memory. From an early age, certain experiences have left her questioning the relationship between those we’ve lost…and those they’ve left behind. Stay safe, Kevin .

This week, we head to an old mining village in the southeast of England, where Jordan recalls a summer evening spent with a childhood friend. What began as an ordinary afternoon exploring a familiar place would become an experience neither of them could explain, and one Jordan has spent much of his adult life trying to understand. Some places hold on to their history. But what happens when moments when that history refuse to stay in the past? Stay safe, Kevin.

Deep in the hills of Rajasthan, India, lies Bhangarh Fort, a once-thriving city now regarded as one of the most haunted places in the world. But what happened to its inhabitants, and why has this abandoned city become synonymous with curses, restless spirits and a darkness that supposedly awakens after sunset?

On this week’s episode, Chloe takes us back to a home in North Georgia that left her with a feeling she couldn’t explain. Years later, memories of that time resurfaced—and left her with a question she still can’t answer. Today we question if keeping “sightings” or experiences to yourself is dangerous…in both realms.

Welcome, to "Encounters", our new minisode. On this week’s debut Encounter, Destiny shares an experience from one of the darkest periods of her life. One summer night, what begins as an unusually vivid dream becomes something far more invasive — an encounter that feels disturbingly physical, leaves her questioning the boundary between sleeping and waking, and refuses to end even when she turns to something she has trusted since childhood for protection. Was it simply the product of a vulnerable mind, something explainable lurking in the strange landscape of sleep… or did something find Destiny at precisely the moment she was most vulnerable? Listen now, and make up your own mind. Stay safe, Kevin.

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal. In our Season 26 opener, we travel to Norway for an extraordinary account spanning almost an entire lifetime. From unsettling experiences beginning in early childhood to encounters that seemingly refuse to remain confined to any one house, Kevin has spent years questioning exactly what he has witnessed — and, perhaps more importantly, why it appears to continue wherever life takes him. Are some places simply more susceptible to the paranormal, can certain people perceive things the rest of us cannot, or are there occasions when leaving the location behind simply isn’t enough? Tonight’s submission is a deeply personal journey through family, loss, unexplained encounters and the disturbing possibility that sometimes, no matter how far you travel, you can’t outrun true darkness.

Before our return with Season 26 next week, we’re revisiting some of the most memorable experiences ever featured on The Dark Paranormal, presented for the first time as complete, uninterrupted stories. This week, we bring you all three parts of Kinar’s extraordinary “Dark Arts” trilogy in one continuous episode. Beginning with an experience originally shared on Dark Bites before the response prompted us to bring a fuller account to the main show, Kinar’s story would eventually span several years, two continents, and three separate appearances on The Dark Paranormal. What begins as one deeply unsettling encounter develops into something far larger, as Kinar’s determination to understand exactly what happened to him leads him further down a path where history, belief and the unexplained become increasingly difficult to separate. So, whether you remember Kinar’s story from its original releases or are hearing it for the very first time, tonight you can experience the entire journey from beginning to end. Stay safe, Kevin.

During the season break, we've decided that each Friday, when there is no show, you will receive an amalgamation of experiences which have previously been split across episodes. So, we begin today with what was our season 13 Halloween special, The Darkest Chapter. Genuinely, two of the most terrifying episodes we've ever put out, and, and in all honesty, one of the most believable experiences I've ever read. Why? Well, because Clare sent in photographic evidence of every event you're about to hear. We hope you enjoyed this longer format. Next week, we will put out all 3 of Kinar's trilogy in one continuous episode. Stay safe, Kevin. We’re giving a full weeks trial of our Patreon away!

For the Season 25 finale of The Dark Paranormal, we follow Kate through a series of experiences spanning childhood, adulthood, different homes, different cities and almost two decades of unanswered questions. Because what happens when the location changes, the people change, the years pass — but the feeling remains? This is about doorways, instinct, things glimpsed where nothing should be standing, and the unsettling possibility that leaving a haunted house doesn’t necessarily mean the haunting stays behind.

Joan was just 21, raising her young son alone in a council house in the Northwest of England, when life began to feel increasingly difficult to explain. The property already carried unsettling rumours about the families who had lived there before, but Joan initially had far more ordinary concerns: persistent infestations, illnesses, accidents, electrical faults and appliances which seemed determined to behave unpredictably. Yet as the problems mounted, something more damaging began to take hold. What followed, gives us some very difficult questions to ponder. Stay safe, Kevin.
