MVP's WTF? Paranormal
MVP's WTF? Paranormal podcast is a different type of paranormal podcast. We cover all things paranormal: ghosts, UFOs, cryptozoology, demons, paranormal TV, paranormal technology, phenomenology, and even the weirdos in the paranormal (including us). And we have fun while we do it. We consider all things and use in-depth research, critical thinking, experience, and of course, common sense, as we formulate our opinions on the topics. We're raw and uncensored and have a completely inappropriate sense of humor. We're disgruntled military vets...what do you expect? So grab an adult beverage, or diet coke for our calorie-conscious listeners, sit back, and enjoy. Word of warning: we use foul language. Another word of warning: Did we mention how inappropriate we can be? Last word of warning: Our first few seasons started off rough but we figured it all out as the seasons progressed. So stick with us and feel free to agree or disagree, just have fun and get enlightened!

Throughout parts of the Southwestern United States, Mexico, Latin America, and Puerto Rico, tales of the legendary Chupacabra run rampant. Folks share tales of sightings of the creature with glowing red eyes and large fangs, who lurks in the forest and preys on livestock and farm animals.

This episode is short and sweet, but very interesting. Everyone can at least agree that Dragons are cool mythical creatures. Whether or not they actually existed, however, is debatable. Join Evan, Mell, Wes, and Tommy as they dive into historical records to see if there is anything that may support the notion that at one point in human history, Dragons were real.

Brace yourself for a journey into the past, where magic-infused Viking warriors don wolf pelts and where hypertrichosis ...
We're back and jumping right into our season on Cryptids! We figured we'd get the big guy out of the way for our first episode: Yup, we're talking about Bigfoot! How could we not? He is, after all, the Hide and Seek Champion of the World! However, this time, we decided to include some audio that claims to contain noises from Bigfoot (Bigfeet?) in the forest. We also talk about where the legend originated from and th...
You probably thought the Mothman sightings ended back in 1966 or 1967 when the alleged winged creature was claimed to have been seen in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. The last mass-reported sightings of the Mothman ended following the Silver Bridge Collapse, which claimed the lives of 46 people. However, it seems to have resurfaced (ALLEGEDLY), with more recent sightings in Ohio and Chicago and apparently, the witnesses have pictur...
Red Pill or Blue Pill? Did that really happen or is it just a false memory? We jump into possibly the craziest mind phenomenology idea of them all in this episode: The Simulation Theory, with the Mandela Effect as "proof". What if we're all just living in a giant computer program? We also have a lot of fun as we discuss the Mandela Effect and go through numerous examples of things we all remember...which turned out t...
We continue our interview of WarDeadPool in this episode and he blows our minds as he discusses his thoughts on the missing Malaysia Flight MH370. On March 8, 2014 at 12:42 a.m. MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur and turned toward Beijing, climbing to its assigned cruising altitude of 35,000 feet at 1:01 am. On board, were 12 crew members and 227 passengers, including five children. At 1:30 am Malaysian military and civilian radar...
Today, let's talk about the Mexican Aliens. No, we're not talking about immigration but the actual alien bodies (allegedly) that were presented to the Mexican government. A very tardy, but fascinating nonetheless, WarDeadPool joins us in our discussion. We not only dive into these alleged extraterrestrials but also Project Blue Beam and explore the idea of aliens being fallen angels.

Today, were keeping it short and not quite sweet. We venture into the world of the scary cryptid tales. Evan shares about the legend of the flesh-eater of the forest: The Wendigo. Some of you may have heard of it, some of you may not have. It's a terrifying mythical creature, nonetheless. Below are some links to some more interesting info on this beast, including an excellent article by Ben Radford.
So, you ready? Let...
It is with deep sadness and sorrow that we share that our co-host and brother, Paul Browning, finally took his last breath on Halloween, October 31, 2023. This was his last recorded interview. It's hard to fathom not having him around. But we know he's no longer suffering and he is finally resting, at peace, and all his questions about life and the afterlife have finally been answered. Paul, you're amazing and you wi...
When it comes to UFO crashes, Brazil told Roswell "Hold my beer!" We're talking about the Varginha UFO incident of 1996, which is Brazil's Roswell... possibly even bigger. There's an entire town full of witnesses whose stories remained consistent over the past 27 years. Many of the witnesses are still alive and continue to reside in Varginha. Allegedly, a police officer grabbed one and took it to a hospital...
Glad you stuck with us. We're delving into the allegedly solved mystery of the Dyatlov Pass incident of 1959. Was it a Yeti? Was it what Paul refers to as a "Slabalanche"? Was it poison? We take it one step further, however, as we uncovered a similar incident that happened in 1993 in the Khamar Daban mountain range. As always, we've linked some additional information regarding both incidents, along with an amazi...
We're starting this season out with an interview with a witch and she's awesome! BJ Hodges is our guest tonight and well, we had questions! BJ has been practicing "witchcraft" for 20 years and we were very surprised at what we learned from her. She was very transparent about her beliefs and practices and we're very appreciative of her time. Now, she did say that not all witches practice the same. Nonethele...
Welp, folks! Here it is! The final episode of Season 6 and part 2 of the Lindley Street Haunting, aka Bridgeport Poltergeist, aka The Weekend From Hell, aka Not a Good AirBnB. If you didn't listen to part 1, stop now and listen to our last episode first, otherwise, you'll be lost in the sauce as we pick up right where we left off.
Again, thank you to author William J. Hall, whose book The World's Mos...
Listen, we know it took a couple of weeks, but sometimes these little things called "adulting" and "responsibilities" and "coachella" get in the way of production. Nonetheless, this story is just too good to skip. We're talking about the Lindley Street Haunting. Some people refer to it as the Bridgeport Poltergeist, but it's the same event that took place at 966 Lindley St., in Bridgeport, CT...
It took us a while, but we finally finished this episode! Sorry for the long wait! This is an interesting case from the Warrens. There have been many claims about people seeing a lady dressed in white in Union Cemetery. Did the Warren's actually capture an woman apparition on film? Who was the woman they claim is in the video? We also ask some other important questions about ghosts and discuss the ethics of investigating grave...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
