When the lights go low and a meter flickers, a story begins. Eric Extreme guides listeners from the moody anthologies of the 1950s through reenactments, live-framed scares, and the reality-TV boom, tracing how television learned to shape mystery into a show. We follow the crews, the gadgets, and the ethical choices that turned private fear into public entertainment: reenacted memories, night-vision faces, spirit boxes, and the pull of emotional closure. Each segment peels back an edit to reveal how production choices teach us what to believe. By episode’s end, you’ll hear how skepticism and storytelling can coexist, why the genre keeps evolving, and what responsible viewing looks like. Join Paranormal Declassified with Eric Extreme as we peel back the veil and listen for what the darkness is actually saying.

In this episode of the Mount Washington Valley Spirit Podcast, host Eric Extreme explores synchronicity, where the experience of meaningful coincidences is often interpreted as paranormal signs, and gives examples such as sudden cold spots, recurring numbers, and items appearing unexpectedly. The episode explains why these overlaps feel significant: the brain’s pattern-seeking (pareidolia, frequency illusion), memory and attention biases, environmental factors that can create apparent signals, and how group dynamics can amplify perceived connections. Multiple case studies illustrate how ordinary explanations often underlie striking events. Listeners are given practical guidance for investigators: examine the source of perceived connections, consider the likelihood of chance, account for cognitive biases, and respond with empathy while maintaining scientific methodology.

Join Eric Extreme on the Mount Washington Valley SPIRIT podcast as he explores the critical topic of cognitive bias in paranormal investigations. This episode dives into how our minds can skew perceptions, leading to misinterpreted data and inaccurate conclusions. Eric distinguishes between ghost hunting and paranormal investigation, highlighting how biases manifest differently in each approach. Learn about specific biases like confirmation bias, expectation bias, and pareidolia, and discover practical strategies to minimize their impact. The episode emphasizes the importance of pre-investigation assessments, objective data analysis, and a commitment to scientific principles to ensure reliable and credible investigations. Discover how to protect clients, maintain team credibility, and advance the understanding of unexplained phenomena through a science-based approach. Tune in to learn how to seek the light of reason and stay skeptical in the pursuit of the truth.

Host Eric Extreme examines how chronic sleep loss distorts perception and can mimic paranormal activity. He presents a science-based pre-investigation intake that screens for sleep issues and other natural causes across sound, sight, touch, and smell, with clear red flags and when to refer to professionals. The focus is on evidence, ethics, and client well-being over theatrics.

In this episode of the Mount Washington Valley Spirit Podcast, the host outlines the four biggest threats to the paranormal field: lack of scientific self-education (ghost hunting masquerading as investigation), pareidolia (matrixing), observer expectancy/confirmation bias, and the Semmelweis reflex (rejecting contradicting evidence). The episode explains how these issues damage the field's credibility, encourages investigators to prioritize scientific methods and education, and calls for integrity over sensationalism and social-media-driven notoriety.

Vibroacoustic phenomenon is a term that refers to when audible and or non-audible frequencies combine with vibration and the result influences human physiology or inanimate objects. This is not paranormal theory, and is a subject of science that has had controlled scientific method based experiments by scientists with advanced college degrees.

I receive a lot of questions via email pertaining to people sharing their paranormal experiences and looking for my interpretation on their situation. I would guesstimate that four out of 5 emails that I receive are related to orbs. I have discussed orbs in the past in various blog posts and podcasts, but I thought that it would be beneficial to create a detailed podcast episode on orbs that I can refer people to when they email me with photos and videos of orbs, believing that they may be paranormal in nature due to wide spread misinformation which is even propagated by many people involved with the paranormal community including but not limited to ghost hunters, paranormal investigators, paranormal enthusiasts, online video channels, theatrical movies, and televised paranormal programming.

When you watch paranormal investigation television shows you may have noticed that the extreme majority of investigations or ghost hunts are completed at night. Have you ever wondered why this is so? Today’s podcast episode is part two of a two part series where we will discuss this phenomenon. On part one we discussed how many paranormal investigations, ghost hunts, ghost tours, and paranormal themed televisions shows are done at night simply for the spooky factor as not all groups use a level of science that would cause you to choose to engage in paranormal related activities at night for scientific purposes. We also discussed how sometimes it is due to scheduling necessities due to the investigators or clients working during the day. Today we will discuss the science component and reasons for conducting paranormal investigations in the evening. Some of what is explored here is pulled from previous blog posts and podcasts that I have authored so some of this you may have read or heard before if you follow my blog or podcast.

We all have our own reasons for getting into the paranormal field. For some people it is due to what they perceive to be paranormal experiences in their childhood or as an adult. For others it is due to the television and movie craze that focused on paranormal investigations, ghost hunting, or paranormal stories. Perhaps a friend or family member was involved with the field empirically or as a hobby interest and you got interested in it through them. Regardless of how you became interested in the field you have surely seen those who don't worry about science, that focus on some science, and you may or may not have seen those who focus heavily on science. This blog entry discusses why it is important to prioritize science before the paranormal.

On part one of Paranormal Stereotypes we discussed some stereotypes such as ghost hunters and paranormal investigators as well as the terms paranormal investigations and ghost hunting being used interchangeably when they are two completely different things. We discussed how to maintain a level of professionalism by not using some various bogus equipment with no scientific backing such as the SLS Camera, Ovilus, and Frank’s/Ghost/Spirit Box. We also discussed why you should not put videos and photos of orbs up on the internet as orbs are not paranormal and there is a big stereotype that they are. Today on part two of Paranormal Stereotypes I will discuss sciences that you should be familiar with in order to overcome stereotypes, an experience I had with paranormal television shows, and how to present your team on the internet in a professional way so that your team doesn’t get balled up and thrown into the box with paranormal stereotypes.
