Paratalk Podcast

In this episode of Paratalk, I’m joined by Roy Teague, author of Close Encounters of the Police Kind. Roy has spent years collecting accounts from serving and former UK police officers who have experienced strange and unexplained encounters. We talk about some of the cases featured in his book, why police officers may be reluctant to speak about unusual experiences, and whether their training and professional background makes them particularly interesting witnesses. A fascinating conversation with plenty to think about.

Have you ever stood on the edge of a cliff, a bridge, or a train platform and, for a split second, wondered... what if I jumped? If so, you're far from alone. In this episode of ParaTalk, we explore the strange phenomenon known as The Call of the Void (l'appel du vide). Is it simply a quirk of the human brain, an instinct for survival that's easily misunderstood? Or could there be something far more mysterious at work?

The Bristol Hum is a modern acoustic mystery reported by residents across parts of the city of Bristol UK, where a low, persistent droning sound is occasionally heard with no obvious source. Described as a distant engine or industrial vibration, the Hum is most noticeable at night and has sparked debate for years, with suggested causes ranging from distant traffic and industrial activity to infrasound, atmospheric conditions, or even psychological perception effects. Despite investigations, no single explanation has fully accounted for all reports, leaving it as one of the UK’s more intriguing contemporary sound phenomena.
