Paranormal Perception

The final Paranormal Perception episode. For 2024.

Here is this year's collection of Christmas ghost stories, sent in from Paranormal Perception listeners.Enjoy and, of course, have a Merry Christmas!

On the final regular episode for 2024, it's an early Christmas gift for all of our listeners. First, you'll hear an episode from the very first version of what would turn into Paranormal Perception: A paranormal podcast from 2014 called Worlds Unknown. Henry and his co-host discussed demons and whether reports of possession were possession or simply a mental disorder. Then, Shanclen from Shanclen Shadow Productions joins Henry for the final segment and they talk about what Henry has learned about demons in the ten years since that show was recorded.

In this replay from September 2022, author Vicki Joy Anderson talks about her book, They Only Come Out At Night: Exposing The Dark Weapon of Sleep Paralysis. Vicki talks about how sleep paralysis is actually a form of demonic attack and what victims can do to protect themselves from these attacks. 

If you watch any paranormal TV show or if you follow paranormal content creators, it seems like they live in a paranormal wonderland no matter where they go. But what if you've visited known haunted locations...and you come away with nothing? No experiences, no evidence, no nothing. It's not as unheard of as you might think. In fact, it's more normal than the paranormal stuff you see. Henry welcomes Amanda Ashley back to the show and they talk about their non-experiences at well-known haunted locations and why it's not as unheard of as you might think.

On this all-new episode, writer Dona Masi joins the show to talk about her upcoming book, The Taking. Although a fictional novel, The Taking includes Dona's research & interest in alien abduction cases. The Taking will be released on January 2, 2025 and is available for pre-order at www.donamasi.com
