What's Out There?

A little Halloween treat...or is it a trick!!Join Juliette and Nigel in discussing a road trip adventure to High Wycombe to attend their first ever Paracon.While there, they grabbed hold of everyone's favourite parapsychologist, Ciaran O'Keeffe, for an in depth discussionabout Poltergeists and hauntings. Which turned into a fascinating chat indeed.

Poltergeist meaning..The word poltergeist comes from the German poltern, 'to make sound, to rumble,' and Geist, 'ghost, spirit.' The term itself translates as 'noisy ghost', 'rumble-ghost', or a 'loud spirit'.One of the tricks a poltergeist is known for is making "knocking" noises, so it will come as no surprise to learn that the word poltergeist translates literally from German as "knocking spirit." The German verb poltern means "to knock," and Geist is the German word for "spirit." Yes, we have finally decided to look at everyone's favourite, the Poltergeist. Of course, we couldn't just take a run-of-the-mill look at them. Oh no, we decided to take a deep dive and question whether poltergeists are something special or just another ghost with added oomph!!Poltergeist hauntings are often some of the most intense and terrifying haunting experiences. We will not deny that but do these intense hauntings need their unique label? Are poltergeists something completely separate from the average haunting experience?Some schools of thought believe that Poltergeist is a convenient label to attach to specific hauntings. Others believe poltergeist hauntings follow a set process or go through certain stages. We share a few of our thoughts and tell a few haunting stories related to poltergeist experiences to let you all decide what you think about poltergeists. We would love you to tell us your theories or, better yet, share your own ghostly experiences with us.You can email us at outtheregroup@icloud.com or use the contact form on our website, www.outtheregroup.netIf you want to read Juliette's article, you can find it herehttps://outthereparanormal.substack.com/p/remembrance-of-a-childhood-haunting?r=1uflo1Background music by CO AG https://www.youtube.com/@co.agmusicSound effects from https://freesound.org/

Welcome to the third and final episode in our "Haunted and Cursed" trilogy. In this episode, we cover the sinister side of cursed objects.Once again, we have gone on an internet deep dive to bring you a selection of strange items, each with a terrible tale to tell.Of course, it's much more exciting if you can see the objects in question, and once again, we have added a post to our Substack with pictures of all the items mentioned in the episode.

It just goes to show you can never judge by appearance!!https://outthereparanormal.substack.com/p/some-items-to-die-forA warning to the curious: if someone offers you an item they are desperate to get rid of, think very carefully before you accept it because you may be getting a lot more than you bargained for!😱😱🫣

After our shopping spree in the last episode, we realised that our possessed furniture quest had seriously sidetracked us. So much so, in fact, that we did not really get into any in-depth explanation as to why there could be haunted or, worse still, cursed objects around.Well, we hope we have put that right in this episode. Join us as we wax lyrical about how something spooky might have got into your Gran's old teapot or why everyone sitting on Uncle Fred's chair ends up having a nasty accident!We both talk a lot on this episode and as always, we go off on a few tangents, disappearing down various paranormal rabbit holes. So please bear with us as we share some interesting points.Now, if you have any creepy tales of your own haunted or cursed objects, a ghostly tale of your own to tell, or want to ask us a question, we would love to hear from you. Email us at outtheregroup@icloud.com, and we will share your email on the show.
