Welcome to Episode 48 of The Paranormal Rundown! This episode our Very Special, Skeptical Guest is David's oldest son Jacob! He digs into paranormal ideas with us, offering clear, non-paranormal alternatives. We dive into Clowns and Coulrophobia, Masks, Haunted Dolls, and the experiences of Fr. Mike at a New Orleans Voodoo Shop and with a Witch Doctor in Belize. Along the way, Vic shows us an unscrupulous delinquent he can be on Facebook, with both he and Fr. Mike trying their best to corrupt a very smart, innocent young man! Additional topics include The Uncanny Valley, Steven King's Writing Process, Cryptid Clowns, Genetic Memory and Butterflies, Victor's Fraudulent Haunted Doll, Facebook's Haunted Doll Community, Anabelle, Robert The Doll, VooDoo Shop Sickness, St. Augustine Haunts, UFOs, Belize Witchcraft and Garifuna, Physical vs Spiritual Presence, and much more. We are sure you will enjoy the thoughtful consideration Jacob brings, so be sure to let us know if you want him to come back in future episodes (Not to replace David).


Also, we want to make you aware of some changes taking place in the near future. First, we will be migrating our podcast to Spotify in the next week or so. So please contact us if you have any issues with downloads or episodes. This should be transparent, but you never know. In addition, we will be changing the cadence of episodes from bi-monthly to bi-weekly. So there will be a couple more episodes a year, and we will shoot for a consistent rollout of every other Wednesday. We have a lot of great episodes coming up, so please tune in!


If you would like to have a fun, deep, wandering discussion on the paranormal, please email us at feedback@paranormalrundown.com , and be a guest on the show!
