Show Notes
Are you ever awake in the cruellest hours of the night, when the world is quiet but your mind isn’t? That’s where Paranormia begins, a weekly podcast where true crime collides with the supernatural. Journalist and parapsychologist Elizabeth McCafferty uncovers real cases where belief turns deadly and fear becomes evidence. In this opening episode, she traces her fascination with the unexplained and reveals the idea behind the series: stories from the thin space between psychology and the paranormal, where reason falters, fear takes hold, and belief turns dangerous.
Because sometimes the haunting isn’t out there… it’s in here. Paranormia: where paranoia meets the paranormal.
