This Paranormal Life

It started with The Exorcist and it ended with Pikachu - The Satanic Panic is a strange period of history that began in the 1970s off the back of McCarthyism and the Cold War and in many ways continues to this day. A time when people all over North America in particular became worried the USA, and maybe the world, was being overrun by satanists. They worried frantically that satanists were using media like music, movies, and even boardgames to control the minds of the population. Time for Kit and Rory to figure out whether there is any paranormal truth in the claims that the American people were the target of witchcraft and satanic rituals!Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTubeJoin our Secret Society Facebook CommunitySupport us on Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife to get access to weekly bonus episodes!Buy Official TPL Merch! - thisparanormallife.com/storeIntro music by www.purple-planet.comResearch by Ewen FriersEdited by Philip Shacklady

Millenials love nothing more than avocados - in smoothies, in shakes, or just straight up in a salad AKA 'rawdogged'. But what about avocados that come from another galaxy, potentially in giant, metal form filled with strange alien creatures? Well for two young lads in the New Mexico desert in 1945 that was exactly what they were confronted with. Today's episode would go down in history as one of the most significant UFO encounters of the modern age and kick-start more than 70 years of government research on UFOs.

We all owe Steven Spielberg an apology. Not only is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull not a bad movie, but it's packed full of paranormal easter eggs and references to REAL supernatural events. Among those, is the legend of AKATOR, an ancient civilization full of golden temples and ancient mummified aliens. In the 1980's, a number of real life explorers decided to head into the jungle to try and find it... but none of those individuals would ever be seen again...Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTubeJoin our Secret Society Facebook CommunitySupport us on Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife to get access to weekly bonus episodes!Buy Official TPL Merch! - thisparanormallife.com/storeIntro music by www.purple-planet.comEdited by Philip Shacklady

Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, is the quintessential cryptid. It is known around the world, and yet little is actually known about the creature itself — it’s secretive and shy, with strong survival instincts. Which is all the more reason why Albert Ostman’s bigfoot encounter from the early 20th century is absolutely fascinating. Because, breaking with character completely, Bigfoot grabbed Albert out of his sleeping bag and stole him away to his home in the forest where Albert lived with the Sasquatch for days. In this episode we recount one of the craziest paranormal tales of all — the man who was abducted by Bigfoot!Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTubeJoin our Secret Society Facebook CommunitySupport us on Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife to get access to weekly bonus episodes!Buy Official TPL Merch! - thisparanormallife.com/storeIntro music by www.purple-planet.comResearch by Ewen Friers
