In today’s episode, Jen and Joe take listeners on a chilling journey deep beneath the streets of Paris, exploring the infamous Paris Catacombs and the eerie hauntings that have been reported within its dark, winding tunnels. Beneath the bustling city lies a labyrinth of bones, a vast ossuary containing the remains of over six million people. But beyond its historical significance, the Catacombs have long been associated with ghostly encounters, mysterious disappearances, and an overwhelming sense of unease that grips those who dare to venture inside.

As Jen and Joe delve into the history, they uncover the macabre origins of the Catacombs, originally created in the late 18th century to combat the overflowing cemeteries of Paris. With bodies piling up in church graveyards, leading to unsanitary conditions and disease outbreaks, officials made the grim decision to transfer human remains into the city’s underground tunnels, formerly used as limestone quarries. Over the years, the bones were arranged in eerie, artistic formations, creating what is now one of the most hauntingly beautiful and unsettling places on Earth.

While the Catacombs attract thousands of tourists each year, they are also the site of numerous paranormal reports. Many visitors have claimed to hear whispers echoing through the passageways, despite no one else being around. Others have seen shadowy figures darting between the bone-lined corridors or felt sudden temperature drops that send shivers down their spines. One of the most famous urban legends surrounding the Catacombs involves a man who allegedly got lost while exploring the forbidden tunnels beyond the public sections. Years later, a camera was found with chilling footage of him panicking in the dark before the recording abruptly stopped—his body was never recovered.

Jen and Joe also discuss the accounts of secret societies and occult groups who have allegedly held ceremonies deep within the Catacombs. Some explorers have stumbled upon eerie setups—candles still burning, cryptic symbols scrawled on the walls, and even unsettling soundscapes playing from hidden speakers. Could these rituals be summoning spirits from the beyond? Or are they simply the work of thrill-seekers trying to add to the Catacombs’ already mysterious reputation?

One of the most unsettling phenomena reported is the “Ghost of the Catacombs,” said to be the spirit of a long-dead worker or lost soul who roams the tunnels, sometimes appearing to lead visitors to safety—or deeper into the labyrinth, never to be seen again. Many have reported feeling unseen hands tugging at their clothes or hearing their names whispered in the dark. Skeptics argue that these experiences are likely the result of sensory deprivation and psychological suggestion, but those who have felt the unexplainable beg to differ.

Join Jen and Joe as they unravel the bone-chilling mysteries of the Paris Catacombs, discussing real-life encounters, urban legends, and the psychological effects of descending into the eerie underworld of the City of Light. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, one thing is certain—the Catacombs ar
