    The paranormal world is more than ghosts and cryptids. It is also strange and unusual history and events.  Plato wrote of a massive and technologically advanced civilization that occupied a large landmass, a continent that existed thousands of years before his own time.  This means it existed long before ancient Egypt and ancient Greece.  This civilization was utterly destroyed by a single cataclysmic event that shook the continent and dropped it into the vast ocean.It was called Atlantis.  Atlantis is the stuff of myth and legends...but what if...?Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/paranormal)

    Some places just look like they should be haunted. Mohon Mountain house is one of those places. Yet, despite its massive size and stately facade, the stories of its spirits are vague. A general sense that a place of this age and austerity and glamour must house a few remnants of the past is a romantic notion - not supported even by casual tales. And yet, dear listener, an unknown visitor from another realm was spotted Monday Nov. 16...Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/paranormal)

    Anniversary SpiritsHave you ever wondered why the spirits that we most often report are from the Victorian era? It seems that the rise of spirtualism was also the rise of spritis. Yet there are many ancient spirits that have seen seen for hundreds of years throughout the world, buttheir reasons for walking may not be as clear. These are anniversary spirits. Ghosts that rise and walk to commemorate an act or moment in time. "Every 4th of July Benjamin Franklin is seen drinking beer.." while this probably true, perhaps he is drinking wine every night and we only look on the 4th? I always question anniversary ghosts or commemorative times because of all of the shenanigans of our calendar and clock. I mean, if a person died in the 14th century on June 1 that just is NOT June 1st in our contemporary calendar..so..did the spirit make adjustments for the switch from the gregorian calendar to Julian? If he died at 3 pm does he know and acknowledge daylight savings? It just doesn't make sense to me.What does make sense is that we pay attention when we think we are likely to experience something. We follow a story and we make the events fit the story. It's not the worst thing in the world to do, but it does change the narrative. It gives meaning to something - but is it the right meaning?How many things just are? How many experiences exist because it's the natural result of an action and not because of an emotional pulse behind it?Is it the spirit or the story that brings the specter to life? What moves it and keeps it coming back? Our belief? the spirit itself?Have you ever have an anniversary visit? Someone who returns on a special day? Do you think it is them or YOU who chooses that day?Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/paranormal)

    Why are so many High Schools Haunted? is it because HS is so damn hard? So universal an experience? Or is it just because they are buildings just about 100% of people need to go through?We tried to reach out to find schools off the beaten path, but both Sean Favre and I ended up choosing one school from far afield and one school from good old New Jersey.We ended up doing this via Skype and Kathy's recording dropped out, so as usual the tech side of this is a little iffy.
