The US civil war was a bloody and brutal conflict that inspired timeless tales of heroism and defeat. What is less known, is that many conflicts took place on some of the most haunted and paranormal locations in North America. It should be no surprise, then, that soldiers from the front lines described seeing a plethora of supernatural entities, maybe none more terrifying than Old Green Eyes. Was it simply a folk tale taken too seriously? Or was something really paranormal happening? Time for Rory and Kit to find out!

2025 TOUR TICKETS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thisparanormallife.com⁠⁠⁠ The great fire of London, started on Pudding Lane in 1666 is known as one of the greatest tragedies in British history. But if it is known as an unavoidable accident, why was it predicted years earlier, and even drawn and depicted beforehand by soothsayers? That’s because there is a compelling argument that says the great fire was no ordinary fire, it was the result of a paranormal curse on the city of London. From biblical plagues to raining blood, to the number of the beast 666 in the date itself, something odd was going on. But what caused these paranormal events? Time for Rory and Kit to find out.

2025 TOUR TICKETS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thisparanormallife.com⁠⁠⁠ Leicester is famous for many things; it’s football club… cheese… OK that’s pretty much it. But what about HUMAN SACRIFICE? It sounds far-fetched and yet like much of ancient Britain the land was once ruled by pagans, many of whom practiced a druidic religion which may have involved human sacrifice. Some say it’s because of that ancient history that Leicester’s Humber Stone has come to be cursed. Ghost sightings, spontaneous combustion, and possession have all been reported in this small region of Leicestershire. What is going on? And is it paranormal? It’s time for Rory and Kit to find out.

2025 TOUR TICKETS ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thisparanormallife.com⁠⁠ Canada is big. So big in-fact that it’s easy to hide things there. Don’t believe me? Maple syrup wasn’t bottled and sold around the world until the 1950s — THAT’S how secret they can keep things. So as it turns out it’s a great place to be a UFO with wide, vast, open plains and mountain ranges to fly around without being spotted. Except in 1975 I guess one of those UFOs screwed up and visited Manitoba, where it became a kind of local celebrity known as ‘Charlie Red Star’.

Human beings are beautiful, complex creatures. But despite our differences we can all agree on one thing - trains are awesome. They’re fast, efficient and their roofs are home to some of the best fight scenes in action movies. That’s why back in the 1960’s, America had gone train-mad, building tunnels and tracks all across the country… but one of those tunnels may have gone a little too deep, uncovering a dark paranormal mystery that only got stranger the deeper they went. This is the story of the HOOSAC tunnel.
