    Hospice Nurse Julie - The Paranormal Podcast 921
    Jan 13 2026
    Jim talks with Julie McFadden, RN, known to millions as Hospice Nurse Julie, about death in a honest, open, and surprisingly comforting chat. Drawing on her years in hospice care, Julie shares what people experience at end of life, why talking openly about dying can actually bring relief, and how acknowledging our mortality can help us live with more clarity and purpose. Her insights come from being at the bedside with patients and families during their most vulnerable moments, and they carry the calm assurance of someone who has seen this up close many times. The conversation also moves into compelling paranormal territory, touching on "visioning," deathbed experiences, and moments that don’t fit neatly into medical explanations. Julie recounts stories of patients seeing deceased loved ones and feeling a sense of comfort or presence near the end, including one experience that continues she'll never forget. -- JOIN JIM’S SPOOKY STUDIO PLUS CLUB You can get access to Jim’s entire back catalog of Campfire and a TON of exclusive content with the Spooky Studio Plus Club.

  • Navigating The Out Of Body Experience - The Paranormal Podcast 920

    Navigating The Out Of Body Experience - The Paranormal Podcast 920
    Jan 6 2026
    We are joined by Graham Nicholls, a leading researcher and experiencer of out-of-body experiences, to explore what really happens when consciousness seems to separate from the physical body. Graham shares his own early, spontaneous OBEs and how they led him down a path that blends firsthand experience with serious scientific inquiry. We discuss what defines an out-of-body experience, how common they may be, and how they relate to near-death experiences, illness, and altered states of consciousness. The conversation goes deeper into the science, touching on parapsychology, controlled experiments, and how concepts from quantum physics might help explain non-local consciousness. Graham also addresses skepticism head-on, discusses fear and safety concerns surrounding OBEs, and explains why intentional experiences can be transformative rather than dangerous. Along the way, we explore precognitive experiences, time perception, and practical first steps for those curious about exploring consciousness beyond the body. A thoughtful, grounded discussion that challenges assumptions while staying rooted in careful research and lived experience.

  • Chasing The Dark - The Paranormal Podcast 919

    Chasing The Dark - The Paranormal Podcast 919
    Dec 30 2025
    In this episode of The Paranormal Podcast, Jim is joined by journalist and author Ben Machell. His book Chasing the Dark explores more than a century of investigations by the Society for Psychical Research. Ben brings listeners inside a largely forgotten world of serious inquiry into the paranormal, long before ghost hunting became entertainment. We talk about why the subject attracted some of the sharpest scientific and literary minds of the last 140 years, and how careful documentation, patience, and intellectual humility shaped an approach that still feels surprisingly modern today. At the heart of the conversation is the remarkable life and work of SPR investigator Tony Cornell, a man who spent decades quietly examining real-world paranormal cases without chasing fame, certainty, or easy answers. Ben shares how Cornell balanced skepticism with open-mindedness, why some cases stubbornly resisted explanation, and what these investigations reveal about human psychology, belief, and the limits of materialist thinking. This is a thoughtful, wide-ranging discussion about mystery, method, and what it really means to confront the unknown.

  • The Science of the Paranormal -- The Paranormal Podcast 918

    The Science of the Paranormal -- The Paranormal Podcast 918
    Dec 22 2025
    Author and researcher J.M. DeBord returns to discuss his book The Science of the Paranormal and the question at the heart of it all: can paranormal experiences be studied in a serious, scientific way? The conversation spans telepathy, psychokinesis, reincarnation, remote viewing, and precognitive dreams, drawing on real experiments, documented cases, and decades of research that suggest these phenomena may be far more than imagination or coincidence. Highlights include discussion of government-funded remote viewing programs, well-known reincarnation cases investigated by medical professionals, and lab studies showing measurable effects tied to psychic functioning. J.M. also explains why dreams often act as the doorway into these experiences and why modern paranormal entertainment has blurred the line between spectacle and legitimate research. It’s a grounded, curiosity-driven conversation that challenges assumptions and invites listeners to think differently about how the mind and reality may actually work.

    Charm Casting Explained - The Paranormal Podcast 917
    Dec 16 2025
    Jim welcomes author, diviner, and medium Tina Hardt to explore the art of charm casting, a hands-on divination practice that uses trinkets, baubles, and everyday objects to uncover insight and meaning. Tina discusses her book Charm Casting: Divining with Trinkets, Trifles, Baubles, and Bits and explains how charms differ from more structured systems like tarot or runes. Drawing on personal symbolism, intuition, and context, charm casting becomes a deeply personal and creative practice. Tina shares how readers build relationships with their charms, interpret how they land, and even animate them through storytelling and imaginative exercises that bring surprising clarity and depth to readings.

  • Is The Paranormal Messing With Us? - The Paranormal Podcast 916

    Is The Paranormal Messing With Us? - The Paranormal Podcast 916
    Dec 9 2025
    Joshua Cutchin joins us for a conversation that heads straight into one of the most uncomfortable questions in the paranormal. Is this stuff simply happening around us, or does it sometimes feel like it’s reacting to us? From UFOs that change with the times to fairies, trickster figures, and high strangeness that refuses to fit in a neat box, we dig into the idea that the phenomenon may adapt to our beliefs, culture, and expectations. We talk about fictional characters appearing in real life, the Philip Experiment, thought forms, retrocausality, and why so many experiences seem oddly playful, absurd, or unsettling. There are no easy answers here, but plenty to think about, as we explore whether the paranormal is just being observed… or if it might actually be messing with us.

  • Krampus Is Only the Beginning: Dark Christmas Lore - The Paranormal Podcast 915

    Krampus Is Only the Beginning: Dark Christmas Lore - The Paranormal Podcast 915
    Dec 2 2025
    Historian and author Tim Rayborn joins us for a deep look into the strange, frightening and often forgotten legends that live beneath the surface of the holiday season. From the rise of Krampus to centuries-old tales of winter demons, ghostly intruders and night-stalking creatures, Tim walks us through the darker side of Christmas tradition and what these stories reveal about survival, morality and the human imagination. We discuss how frightening folklore once served as teaching tools, why these tales flourished in cold, pre-industrial winters, and the surprising ritual of leaving food or clothing to avoid becoming a monster’s next target. We also explore how Victorian ghost stories became a firmly rooted seasonal tradition, why The Nutcracker was once much more unsettling than the ballet we know today, and how cultures outside Europe developed their own chilling winter rituals. Tim shares his favorite creatures, the most shocking tales he uncovered, and how modern culture has reshaped these old fears into festivals, parades and pop-culture icons. If you thought Christmas was all candles and comfort, this conversation may change the way you see December forever.

    Nightmares - The Paranormal Podcast 914
    Nov 25 2025
    Theresa Cheung returns to explore the powerful world of dreams. She talks about why she delved into world of fiction, how the story in her debut novel, NightBorn, weaves real dream-work principles into a fast-paced plot, and why readers are reporting unusually vivid dream recall just from seeing the cover. Theresa also breaks down how dreams function as symbolic messages, why nightmares can be useful, and how precognitive dreams show up in everyday life more often than people realize. Theresa explains how creative minds have long used the liminal dream state for problem-solving and imagination, then offers insight into Jim’s recurring “old boss” nightmare and what it might mean. It's a grounded, insightful conversation about the inner world we visit every night. You can find NightBorn at Amazon: https://amzn.to/49VQIzV Thanks Theresa! -- – This post contains Amazon affiliate links that benefit Jim Harold Media when you make a qualifying purchase.
