The Skin Thief
A lot of skin is missing from a hospital in Philadelphia.  A *lot* of skin.  Enough skin that we’re wondering why someone would steal it - some $350,000.00 worth of skin.  Why would someone take that much biological material, and for what purpose?  And what is that figure captured on the hospital surveillance cam?

The Slenderman Murders
The news is grim: two twelve year old girls purportedly stabbed another nearly to death in what they claim was an appeasement to the tall, creepy figure stalking them.  Real?  Imagined?  Just plain attempted murder?  You decide… 

Here’s a link to all things Slender

Early US Monsters
Over the course of American history, there have been a lot of at-the-time-unexplained creatures, monsters, and terrors… Well, now science has a handle on a lot more than it once did.  Here is an interesting article about things once reported that are now (mostly) disproven.  What as-yet still at large monsters haunt your nightmares?  Let us know via our Contact Us page!  As long as it isn’t obscene, we *will* share it on an upcoming episode!

The Town That Slept
When an entire Russian town falls asleep for a span of six days, the scientists inevitably slip in to run their tests… and the theories begin flying.  Was the whole town abducted by aliens?  Was it a secret government project being tested?  Are the scientists legitimately trying to find answers, or just studying the aftermath of secret weapons testing?  Tune in to hear what Alex Thurgood has to say from onsite at the Town That Slept!

And More!

The Origins of Bigfoot
As it seems to be a hot topic currently, Michael gives a brief rundown of the way various regions of the world view what we know of as Bigfoot, and the team discusses the possible origins of the cryptid.

A Mass Marriage Made In Heaven
Eight ghosts were wed in a ceremony in Burka, which spurred a lively discussion about the merits of post-burial matrimony and its application in the occult world.

Unidentified Underwater Objects
With word buzzing about a newly discovered underwater "UFO", the team covers the story and the impending government coverup that is likely (and already rumored to be in progress).

China Newest Country To Face Random Cannibalism
Another seemingly random act of cannibalism in China sparks debate on the potential critical mass of zombies lurking within China's borders. Can over-indulgence in alcohol REALLY make you crave face that badly? (Really?)

Listener Emails

Anonymous Listener asked about the usefulness of a particularly powerful looking "Worry Box" spotted in an add.

DHP Episode - 06/17/2011 - New Show Format!

New Show Format!
​Darkhallow Paranatural has ceased production of Dailies and Weeklies to bring a single show each Friday: Darkhallow Paranatural!  This allows the Darkhallow Team to get back to what we really wanted - bringing a single cohesive, regularly scheduled show to our listeners.  It is also what the listeners seem to want, as we get 3 to 4 times as many listeners on the weeklies as the dailies.  The new format will bring back integrated guest interviews as well as resurrect some fan favorite segments such as Occult Corner with Jay Rosell.  We'll also be adding new segments, such as the (name tentative) Adventure Time with Alex Thurgood.  Of course, there's also the ever-present Cryptozoological Trivia!  These are exciting times at Darkhallow Paranatural.

Wichita Temperature Spike!
​The outdoor temperature in in the Wichita are rose 20 degrees in 20 minutes.  Regent Studies Internations says that Hell (a parallel dimension occupying the same space and time as us, but just a bit out of phase) was getting dangerously close to merging with us on that day and the point of convergence would have been just outside of Wichita!

Tornadoes spreading disease across U.S.
​The recent Joplin Missouri tornado carried a rare form of fungal infection, murcomycosis, among the human population.  Not quite as rare as frogs, but isn't weather getting scarier these days?

FBI investigating the Slender Man legend
​The FBI is investigating an urban legend of a creature that preys on children: The Slender Man!  Once thought to have been an internet hoax, new security camera footage of the figure watching a group of kids in a theater shortly before the theater burned to the ground and three of the children perished has sparked an investigation into the supernatural figure.

Scientists make cells fire green lasers
​Scientists have manipulated biological cells in a lab setting to fire green laser light!  Isn't that a bit dangerous?

The Boo-Ball Spirit-Globe.  Fun, Fake, or To Be Feared?
​How worried should we be about this new "toy" purported to contain highly compressed spirits and ghosts?  Is it a fake like it appears, or could it be as dangerous as the now infamous Ecto Candle?

Psychic War continues...
​Discussion around if psychics can actually see the future, one possible future, or only things non-future related.
