    Evidence of the Extraordinary with Miguel Sancho - The Paranormal Podcast 939
    May 19 2026
    Veteran television producer and investigative journalist Miguel Sancho joins Jim for a fascinating deep dive into the unexplained through the lens of mainstream journalism. Drawing on his years at ABC’s 20/20 and CBS’s 48 Hours, Sancho explains how a skeptic found himself confronting cases that resisted easy debunking. From UFO whistleblowers and military footage to near-death experiences and strange encounters captured on camera, the conversation explores where rigorous investigation ends and genuine mystery begins. Jim and Miguel also venture into bigger philosophical territory, discussing whether science itself is evolving toward ideas once dismissed as impossible. They tackle simulation theory, quantum physics, the afterlife, and the growing tension between skepticism and belief in modern culture. Along the way, Miguel shares some of the most compelling cases he’s examined for The Proof Is Out There and explains why the unexplained may deserve more serious attention than many in the mainstream are willing to admit.

    Did Astronauts See UAPs - The Paranormal Podcast 938
    May 12 2026
    What did the one of the first private astronauts really see during the dawn of commercial spaceflight? In this fascinating conversation, filmmaker Kevin Curran joins Jim to discuss Beyond Blue Sky: The Untold Story of the First Private Astronauts and the extraordinary experiences of astronaut Brian Binnie during the historic SpaceShipOne program. From high-risk experimental flights to mysterious glowing figures just days after a devastating crash, this is a story that blends aerospace history with one of the most compelling UFO encounters we’ve heard in years. Kevin shares the behind-the-scenes story of how the documentary came together, why Binnie chose to reveal his experience, and what other astronauts and test pilots may have encountered over the years. Along the way, Jim and Kevin explore the changing conversation around UAPs, disclosure, and what it all could mean for humanity’s place in the universe. Interestingly, this interview was recorded before the recent UAP file releases. During the conversation, Jim speculated that the Apollo astronauts may have witnessed things they never fully disclosed publicly, based on little breadcrumbs left over the years. Recent revelations appear to lend weight to those suspicions. No psychic powers required, Jim was just paying attention. A remarkable discussion that will leave you looking at the night sky a little differently. Beyond Blue Sky is currently available on Apple TV. Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s a conversation that challenges assumptions and opens up a much more nuanced view of these familiar figures. Along the way, we get into the big questions. Can dolls be haunted? Do they really move or communicate in subtle ways? And what does it actually mean to work with a doll in a magical or spiritual context?

  • Astrology, Karma and Your Past Lives – The Paranormal Podcast 936

    Astrology, Karma and Your Past Lives – The Paranormal Podcast 936
    Apr 28 2026
    Jim sits down with astrologer, therapist, and author Carmen Turner-Schott to explore how astrology, past lives, and psychology may be more connected than we realize. Carmen shares the remarkable paranormal experience that first set her on this path, then breaks down how birth charts act as a “map of the soul,” revealing patterns that shape personality, relationships, and life direction. The conversation dives into the idea of astrology as energy, how planetary cycles may influence emotions and behavior, and why even skeptics can be surprised by the accuracy of a well-read chart. We also get into deeper territory, including karma and the possibility that our relationships are rooted in past-life connections. Carmen explains concepts like the North and South Nodes, how they point to lessons carried across lifetimes, and why certain struggles, especially with family or partners, seem to repeat until they are resolved. Along the way, she connects astrology with Carl Jung’s archetypes, Tarot symbolism, and even early medical practices, painting a picture of an ancient system that continues to evolve today. Whether you are a believer or just curious, this is a thought-provoking look at how astrology might offer insight into who we are and why we are here.

    Apr 21 2026
    John J. Davis was clinically dead for SEVEN minutes and came back! He shares extraordinary account that began with a devastating accident and a medical emergency. What he describes is a vivid journey into what he believes is the afterlife, not darkness, but a place of purpose, connection, and overwhelming clarity. From the very start, his story challenges the idea that death is something to fear and instead offers a perspective that it may be a transition into something far greater. As Jim and John talk, they explore the most meaningful moments of that experience and what it revealed about life, growth, and what may await us beyond this world. Davis speaks about the lasting impact it’s had on how he lives and what he believes we’re all here to learn. It’s a compelling and hopeful conversation that invites you to consider that there is much more beyond this life, and that our time here may be just one part of a much bigger journey. https://johnjdavisnde.com/ Thanks John! --- VIRTUAL CAMPFIRE GROUPJoin our FREE online community at ⁠https://virtualcampfiregroup.com⁠ YOUTUBE CHANNELBe sure to subscribe to Jim’s YouTube channel at: ⁠https://youtube.com/jimharold⁠ JOIN JIM’S SPOOKY STUDIO PLUS CLUBYou can get access to Jim’s entire back catalog of Campfire and a TON of exclusive content with the Spooky Studio Plus Club.

  • Houdini vs The Spiritualists - The Paranormal Podcast 934

    Houdini vs The Spiritualists - The Paranormal Podcast 934
    Apr 14 2026
    Jim welcomes author Brad Ricca to explore the surprising intersection of Harry Houdini, Abraham Lincoln, and the explosive rise of spiritualism in America. Brad paints a vivid portrait of Houdini not just as a master illusionist, but as a relentless crusader determined to expose mediums he believed were exploiting grief for profit. From dramatic jail escapes to deeply personal attempts to contact his late mother, Houdini’s journey reveals a man caught between skepticism and a yearning to believe. The discussion also dives into the eerie cultural backdrop of the early 20th century, where séances, war-time loss, and political mythmaking collided. Ricca unpacks how Lincoln’s legacy became entangled in spiritualist claims, fueling Houdini’s mission and shaping a broader battle over truth, belief, and deception. Along the way, the episode touches on chilling moments surrounding Houdini’s death, the enduring mystery of his final days, and the lasting question that still lingers today: where does illusion end and something else begin? You can find Brad's book, Lincoln's Ghost: Houdini's War on Spiritualism and the Dark Conspiracy Against the American Presidency, at Amazon: ⁠https://amzn.to/4cO3UXp⁠ Thanks Brad! --- VIRTUAL CAMPFIRE GROUPJoin our FREE online community at ⁠https://virtualcampfiregroup.com⁠YOUTUBE CHANNELBe sure to subscribe to Jim’s YouTube channel at: ⁠https://youtube.com/jimharold⁠ JOIN JIM’S SPOOKY STUDIO PLUS CLUBYou can get access to Jim’s entire back catalog of Campfire and a TON of exclusive content with the Spooky Studio Plus Club.

  • Captured Alien? The Varginha UFO Incident with James Fox - The Paranormal Podcast 933

    Captured Alien? The Varginha UFO Incident with James Fox - The Paranormal Podcast 933
    Apr 7 2026
    Filmmaker James Fox returns to the show to discuss one of the most compelling and controversial UFO cases you’ve likely never heard of. We dive deep into the 1996 incident in Varginha, Brazil, a case involving multiple eyewitnesses, alleged military involvement, and claims of captured non-human entities. Fox breaks down the timeline of events, from a mysterious crash and debris field to chilling encounters described by civilians, medical professionals, and even law enforcement. Along the way, we explore why this case has remained largely ignored by mainstream media despite decades of investigation. We also examine the powerful testimony featured in his documentary, Moment of Contact, including emotional accounts from witnesses who carried this story in silence for years. Fox shares insights from his 16+ year investigation, including interviews with a neurosurgeon who claims direct interaction with a living being, and discusses new developments that continue to unfold. Beyond the case itself, we explore the broader implications for disclosure, government secrecy, and whether we are finally approaching a tipping point in public awareness of the phenomenon.

  • Chasing North American Monsters - The Paranormal Podcast 932

    Chasing North American Monsters - The Paranormal Podcast 932
    Mar 31 2026
    Jim welcomes Jason Offutt to explore the fascinating world of cryptids through his book Chasing North American Monsters. From Bigfoot to lesser-known legends like the El Duende and the terrifying Wendigo, Jason shares stories that stretch across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and beyond. The conversation digs into the surprising similarities between global folklore, including “little people” legends that appear in cultures separated by oceans and centuries. Jason also makes a compelling case that some of these tales may be rooted in real discoveries, pointing to examples where science once dismissed legends that later proved true. Along the way, Jim and Jason highlight some truly bizarre and memorable creatures, including three-toed “Bigfoot-like” beasts that may connect to ancient ground sloths, the infamous Chupacabra, and even a 75-foot “Sharktopus” lurking in Caribbean lore. They also tackle the big question: are these creatures flesh and blood, or something more supernatural? With a mix of skepticism, curiosity, and plenty of wild stories, this episode is a deep dive into the strange creatures that might be hiding in plain sight and why the mystery is far from solved.
