1/14/25 - Ghostly stories from Daniel with The True Paranormal

In this episode, the hosts welcome a guest from across the pond to discuss his unique, analytical approach to the paranormal. The conversation moves from personal origin stories to a critical examination of modern ghost hunting, revealing a methodical quest for truth behind the mystery.
The guest, Daniel, shares how his childhood fascination with 'Most Haunted' and a belief his family home was haunted led him to a more critical path. He started his blog to correct historical misinformation about famous haunted locations, like the Pendle witches, and to debunk staged paranormal TV shows by analyzing team member activity patterns. Daniel describes a personal experiment where he tried to create paranormal activity in his non-haunted home over 28 days, even breaking Ouija board rules and calling out demon names, which led to some unsettling experiences. While he remains skeptical of demonic entities, he admits the experiment made him question his beliefs. The discussion also touches on UK cryptids, but Daniel clarifies his main focus is on spirits and the afterlife, including the cultural significance of fairy folklore and mine spirits.
