The Quantum Mechanics - Paranormal Podcast

We go deep into extraordinary stories of haunted objects that defy rational interrogation - mostly.

From Johnathan's Special Chair, to headboards that inexplicably are given to friends, this is an old-fashioned romp through stories that will make you think twice about antique collecting.

In 1998 a revolutionary cute interactive toy was launched. Most Furby owners had hours of fun, but for some the experience was closer to something from a Halloween horror movie. Many conspiracy theories followed, the toy was a spying device, was controlling our children, even had a hive mind. We investigate how a toy that looked like the cute version of Gizmo from Gremlins (there's a conspiracy about that as well) could build s...

The most famous magic trick in the world has infiltrated our culture for years. In its originally described format, it appears to be a feat of impossibility - and it very well might be.

This week we go into the story of the magic that never really existed.

Beyond the famous Aintree racecourse lies a darker mystery. For decades, silent processions of hooded, torch-bearing figures haunted a local field.

Witnesses, terrified by the Klan-like apparitions, reported sightings stretching from World War II into the 1970s.

Who were the Aintree Spectres? Were they ghosts, a secretive far-right group, or an extreme religious sect? Join us as we delve into the eyewitness accounts and investigate...

We dive into Carl Jung’s paranormal side. We’re not just unpacking his psychology—we’re tracing his encounters with hauntings, synchronicity, and the uncanny that shaped his most enduring ideas: the collective unconscious, archetypes, and a universe that feels alive. From childhood oddities to a famously haunted London cottage, discover how Jung’s experiences coloured his theory of meaning, coincidence, and connection.

Nice to see you. This week, a British legend that refuses to die; A "Man-Monkey" on a lonely canal has evolved into something far more tangible and terrifying. We discus a history of animal killings and a high-level cover-up at a grand stately home, where staff were warned to keep quiet about the "hairy man-beast" stalking the grounds.

We then track a recent wave of terrifying encounters, from an upright, sprint...

Viewing a solar eclipse can cause euphoria or a trauma response, even when you understand what is happening. Imagine what it was like for our ancestors. We look into some of the legends, folklore, general weirdness and psychological impact of these rare celestial events.

Following our deep dives into uncovered languages, we look at the work of Albert E. Potts who has evidence that the Bible isn't the story of a deity creating the world, but the cold experimental notes of a race of beings who changed the DNA of our ancestors to form a new intelligence on our planet. 

We look at his reasoning, and the work that supports his claims. But it's not always just aliens that provide the answer.

This week we travel the globe looking at the most reported ghosts and legends. Could similarities or differences across cultures, in appearance and backstories, help us work out whether ghosts are real. Which came first the ghost or the ghost story?

We investigate Linda Moulton Howe's intriguing work on the subject of alien languages that have either been viewed, or telepathically communicated.

We examine the idea that humans are containers - something that comes up a lot in alien encounter stories - and the fact that we may all just be an experiment.

A strong drink is recommended.

Aliens aren't always the short greys we know from many accounts - sometimes they take forms that are perplexing, weird and downright - odd.

In this episode we look at some of the strangest alien abduction cases, including the surreal Brooklyn Bridge incident. Did aliens float a woman out of her apartment in NYC, in full view of the most significant diplomat in the world? Who is 'the Lady Of The Sands'? and what does...

What started with the paranormal experiences of one family, became a half billion dollar business, known as The Conjuring Universe. Is what has happened at the Conjuring House since then more to do with human greed, or does the commercial success bring its own curse.

We begin by looking into the strangest paranormal war stories, before examining a phenomenon that continues to haunt Britain.

In an area of the Peak District National Park there have been over a hundred reports of people seeing World War II airplanes silently flying close to the ground, then disappearing. Are they stone tapes of real events, or something other?

We find out that Shopping Malls are a hotbed of paranormal activity. We have tales of ghost wolves, spooks that stare at night staff through windows, and a poltergeist that put up a tent in an Outdoor retailer. We also find an academic paper that proves the safest place to be in a Zombie Apocalypse, is the mall.
