• The Paracast — the Gold Standard of Paranormal Radio — is broadcast weekly on GCN Radio, Boost Radio Network and IRN Internet Radio Network

    This Week's Episode: DOWNLOAD (Free Version for March 17, 2024): Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present best-selling author W.T. Watson, a coffee addict and writer of both fiction and non-fiction. He infuses his work with his expertise in cryptozoology, monster lore, magic, Forteana and the paranormal. W.T. brings a unique shamanic and magical perspective to all of his work after over 30 years of exploration in these topics. During this episode there's a special focus on Bigfoot, and other strange creatures and legends of strange creatures through the ages. Watson's books include: “Canadian Monsters & Mysteries,” “Sasquatch Canada: Beyond British Columbia,” “Mysteries in the Mist: Mist, Fog, and Clouds in the Paranormal,” and his most recent, which will be discussed during this episode: “The Forest Poltergeist: Class B Encounters and the Paranormal.” When he is not writing or reading about monsters, he can be found outdoors allowing his dogs to take him for a walk around his neighborhood in Kitchener, Ontario. Watson lives with his spouse, Stacey, in a townhome that would be jammed with books if it weren’t for e-readers.

    Coming March 24: A main focus of this episode is Bigfoot as Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present Greg Ogles, who got into investigating Bigfoot in 2013 and is the founder of the Alabama Bigfoot Society. Initially he just wanted a diversion in his life as his profession can be quite stressful. Greg has hunted and fished all of his life so being in the woods in remote places was not new to him. In his regular life, he is the traffic analyst for the largest city in Alabama. As an analyst, he’s trained in investigative techniques which he has translated over to investigating the unknown. So throughout the history of mankind, we have always been curious about the unknown, making new discoveries and trekking our way into the wilderness. Greg’s first thoughts were to fully document all of his encounters. As a skeptic he thought there would be little film that he would have to edit. Then one cold day in Alabama, everything changed! His company is Relic films, a production company that seeks out the truth about America’s greatest Legends and Myths. With the use of modern technology and the study of ancient Indian cultures we uncover the hidden truth about what is real and what is just a story.

    After The Paracast: Available exclusively to Paracast+ subscribers: Busy Fortean researcher W.T. Watson returns to talk with Gene and cohost Tim Swartz about a number of topics, including pop culture. So he agrees with Gene that radio dramas represent a “theater of the mind,” and mentions a possible curious fact about writer and magician Water B. Gibson, best known for his work on the pulp version of The Shadow. Movie set mishaps are also on the agenda, such as the fatal shooting when filming “Rust” in 2021, before the discussion turns to the future of paranormal research. Watson talks of possible Sasquatch sightings, and also responds to the question of whether paranormal events are meant to make people think. In all, he offers a unique shamanic and magical perspective to all of his work after over 30 years of exploration in these topics. Watson’s books include: “Canadian Monsters & Mysteries,” “Sasquatch Canada: Beyond British Columbia,” “Mysteries in the Mist: Mist, Fog, and Clouds in the Paranormal” and “The Forest Poltergeist: Class B Encounters and the Paranormal.”

General Freewheeling Chit-Chat

There are many things that fall within the field of the paranormal, and this is your place to discuss the issues that interest you. What's more, it doesn't have to be related to the paranormal. Most any subject is fair game.

Why is it that teenagers no longer seem to get involved in looking for UFOs, as we did when we were young? Your ideas are welcomed, and we'd like to also hear from those under 21, if they're listening.
