Who really owns a haunted location? Paranormal Hotseat | Diary of a Ghost Hunter

The Conjuring House has been sold again... but when a place is famous because of its paranormal reputation, who owns the stories, the investigations, the evidence, and the legacy?

Tonight on Paranormal Hotseat, we're asking some difficult questions.

👻 Should haunted locations become tourist attractions?

💰 Is it ethical to profit from alleged hauntings?

📜 Who has the right to tell the story?

⚖️ Where do history, entertainment and responsibility collide?

This isn't about attacking people. It's about having an honest conversation about where the paranormal community is heading

  • Two Children Appeared From Nowhere… And They Were Green | WTAF Paranormal Case Files

    32:53|
    Two frightened children appeared beside a wolf pit in 12th-century England. They spoke an unknown language, wore unfamiliar clothing, refused ordinary food, and most strangely of all, their skin was green.Tonight on WTAF Paranormal Case Files, Anne and Renata investigate the bizarre medieval mystery of the Green Children of Woolpit.According to chroniclers William of Newburgh and Ralph of Coggeshall, the children claimed they came from a strange twilight world called Saint Martin’s Land, where the sun barely shone. But were they describing another realm, an underground world, or a traumatic journey they did not fully understand?We examine the original medieval accounts, the differences between the two versions, and the theories that have followed the story for centuries. Were the Green Children malnourished Flemish refugees, lost or abandoned children, figures from English folklore, visitors from another dimension, or part of a story that changed with every retelling?Join us live at 8.30 pm tonight (AEST time) as we separate the recorded history from the folklore and ask the question at the heart of the mystery:Where did the Green Children of Woolpit really come from?Tell us your theory in the comments, join the live conversation, and subscribe for more strange history, unexplained mysteries, paranormal cases and deeply peculiar stories from around the world.#GreenChildrenOfWoolpit #WTAFParanormalCaseFiles #MedievalMystery #UnexplainedMysteries #ParanormalPodcast #EnglishFolklore #FrightfullyGoodParanormal

    Hey ListenersAnne and Renata here,We have rebooted Diary of a Ghost Hunter with a series of the oddest stories that we can find on the internet and we are going to be sharing them with you.Here is the first.This episode is a little different.Today on Diary of a Ghost Hunter, we’re sharing the audio from our live YouTube show, WTAF Paranormal Case Files, where Anne and Renata open the strange file of The Dodleston Messages: The Ghost in the Computer.In 1984, teacher Ken Webster claimed that bizarre messages began appearing on a computer inside an old cottage in Dodleston, England. The mysterious writer seemed to be a man from the 1500s, accusing the modern residents of stealing his house. But as the messages continued, the case became even stranger, moving into claims of time slips, future beings, haunted technology, and possible communication across centuries.Was this a genuine paranormal event?A ghost using a computer?A time travel mystery?A psychological experiment?Or one very clever hoax?Because this episode was originally recorded live, it has not been polished into a perfect studio podcast. You may hear the odd stumble, laugh, pause, chat reference, or live-show moment.
