There are ghost stories about houses. There are legends about abandoned towns. But the ocean… the ocean has its own kind of haunting.Tonight, we’re telling the story of a ship that was found drifting in the Atlantic Ocean in 1872. Its sails were set. Its cargo was intact. Its personal belongings were neatly arranged.And yet, every single person aboard had vanished.Email: paraverse.vv@gmail.comMerch: https://shop.ravensnesthc.comForum: http://para-verse.comPatreon: http://patreon.com/paraverse_vvBuy me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/paraverse_vvReddit: http://reddit.com/r/paraverse_vvDubby: https://www.dubby.gg/discount/paraverse?ref=ospbpmyeLink Tree: https://linktr.ee/paraverse.vv

There’s a particular kind of quiet you only hear in the woods.Not exactly silence—but something older. Something listening.If you’ve ever spent time deep in a forest, away from trails and campsites and signs nailed to trees, you know what I mean. The woods breathe. They shift. They settle around you like a presence that was already there long before you arrived—and will remain long after you leave.Email: paraverse.vv@gmail.comMerch: https://shop.ravensnesthc.comForum: http://para-verse.comPatreon: http://patreon.com/paraverse_vvBuy me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/paraverse_vvReddit: http://reddit.com/r/paraverse_vvDubby: https://www.dubby.gg/discount/paraverse?ref=ospbpmyeLink Tree: https://linktr.ee/paraverse.vv

Welcome to Shadow of the Wampus Cat, a journey into one of Appalachia’s most enduring, haunting, and mysterious legends. For generations, whispers of a creature that prowls the darkest forests have echoed through the mountains. A creature with glowing eyes, a snarling cat’s face, and a woman's cursed form — the Wampus Cat.Email: paraverse.vv@gmail.comMerch: https://shop.ravensnesthc.comForum: http://para-verse.comPatreon: http://patreon.com/paraverse_vvBuy me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/paraverse_vvReddit: http://reddit.com/r/paraverse_vvDubby: https://www.dubby.gg/discount/paraverse?ref=ospbpmyeLink Tree: https://linktr.ee/paraverse.vv

The Appalachian Mountains stretch like a spine along the eastern United States, but calling them mountains doesn’t quite do them justice. They are older than most ranges on Earth. Older than recorded history. They have watched civilizations rise and disappear, and they remain—worn down, patient, observant.Email: paraverse.vv@gmail.comMerch: https://shop.ravensnesthc.comForum: http://para-verse.comPatreon: http://patreon.com/paraverse_vvReddit: http://reddit.com/r/paraverse_vv

In 1962, in a small public elementary school in Wyoming, a teacher asked a question that did not feel important at the time.Do you have an imaginary friend?It was not a lesson. It was not part of a study. It was something asked to pass a few minutes before recess. A soft question. One that usually produces laughter, embarrassment, or a few enthusiastic answers and then fades away.Email: paraverse.vv@gmail.comMerch: https://shop.ravensnesthc.comForum: http://para-verse.comPatreon: http://patreon.com/paraverse_vvReddit: http://reddit.com/r/paraverse_vv

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year. See you all next week.

Today we’re talking about a creature that has been a staple in Scandinavian folklore for centuries—the Nisse (niss-uh).The Nisse (sometimes called Tomte in Sweden, or Tonttu in Finland) is a small, magical, and mischievous creature, often associated with Christmas and the holiday season. But there’s a lot more to the Nisse than just being the jolly little elf we think of today.Email: paraverse.vv@gmail.comMerch: https://shop.ravensnesthc.comForum: http://para-verse.comPatreon: http://patreon.com/paraverse_vvReddit: http://reddit.com/r/paraverse_vv

Tonight we’re diving deep into the frost-rimmed corridors of European folklore—into the stories told in candlelight, whispered beside hearth fires, or murmured to children on dark December nights.Tonight’s episode—is our final Yule special—it is dedicated to three extraordinary figures who walk the line between protector and punisher, blessing and curse, light and shadow:Grayla, Frau Perchta, and La Befana.Email: paraverse.vv@gmail.comMerch: https://shop.ravensnesthc.comForum: http://para-verse.comPatreon: http://patreon.com/paraverse_vvReddit: http://reddit.com/r/paraverse_vv

We’re heading into the fog. Into the cold. Into those dark reaches of the ocean where ships drift without crew, where lanterns swing in empty corridors… where logbooks end mid-sentence… and where some sailors swear the spirits of the drowned still walk the decks.Email: paraverse.vv@gmail.comMerch: https://shop.ravensnesthc.comForum: http://para-verse.comPatreon: http://patreon.com/paraverse_vvReddit: http://reddit.com/r/paraverse_vv
