5/13/26 - LET’S GET FREAKY: Tommy Cullum’s Most Terrifying Paranormal Experiences

This episode dives into the lived reality of the unexplained through the eyes of Tommy Cullum—paranormal investigator, podcast host, and lifelong witness to phenomena that defy easy categorization.
Tommy Cullum shares deeply personal encounters spanning childhood to adulthood: full-bodied apparitions in his family home, a Shakespearean figure near a graveyard, a vanishing nude woman mistaken for his mother, and recurring sleep paralysis with folkloric 'hag' manifestations. He describes how launching his podcast 'Let’s Get Freaky' coincided with intensified activity—including unsettling events witnessed by his wife and children—and explores cultural parallels like UK black dog legends and global Bigfoot variants. Episodes delve into daughter-reported Dogman sightings in Dorset forests, haunted manor houses tied to historical ape ownership, overnight ghost hunts in English castles, and UK UFO hotspots like Rendlesham Forest and Stonehenge. Cullum balances reverence and skepticism—using prayer as grounding, acknowledging environmental and perceptual factors, and highlighting how folklore shapes experience without dismissing authenticity. The conversation also touches on celebrity encounters, crop circles in Wiltshire, and plans to expand paranormal storytelling with high-profile voices—all rooted in firsthand testimony rather than speculation.
