Paranormal Podcast, Believing The Bizarre: Dive Into The Unknown & Unusual
Are you looking for one of the best paranormal podcasts? Are you tired of True Crime podcasts, and History podcasts and are ready for an entertaining audio experience every Tuesday?
Do you want a paranormal podcast that talks about:
- Real Ghost Stories
- Hauntings, Haunted Paintings,
- UFOs
- Aliens
- Creatures
- Conspiracy Theories
- Terrifying Tales From Our Listeners
- Cryptids like Bigfoot, Mothman, Yeti, Lochness Monsters,
- And so much more
Believing the Bizarre is a paranormal podcast that releases a new episode every Tuesday. We cover a wide range of topics, like the ones listed above, as well as ghost investigations, scary stories, and listener submissions, where our hosts explore some of the spooky stories and paranormal experiences that have happened to our audience.
One of our favorite things about doing this weekly podcast is the shared experiences that everyone has. While every paranormal encounter is individual, they create a global community amongst those who have witnessed something extraordinary. Most everyone has had an unexplained experience but might feel weird talking about it to their friends and family. Even worse, they might be ridiculed by those same people for what they witnessed.
We make it a point never to judge someone on what they have experienced. We all have had unexplained events of paranormal activity that have happened to us, and we want to share those stories so that we can come together and support one another in our adventures.
At Believing the Bizarre, we are lucky to have such amazing listeners that are willing to jump into the unknown and unusual every week with us. As of this very second, we have over 1 MILLION downloads and 2000 Spotify Reviews and 340 Apple Podcast reviews. Our goal is to tell these scary stories and events in an entertaining and engaging nature that brings our listeners along on the journey.
But what makes Believing the Bizarre different from other paranormal podcasts? Okay, it’s elevator pitch time. Pretend we just entered your elevator (you moved back and made space for us – so kind! thank you!). We entered on the 4th floor, and we are all getting off on the first floor.
You ask us, “what is your podcast about?” We have 4 floors to tell you. Boom, let’s go:
Believing the Bizarre is a paranormal podcast that covers a wide variety of popular horror stories, ghost stories, and cryptids, along with listener submissions and less-known tales. However, at the end of each episode, we break down how likely each topic is more likely to be #believable vs. #unbelievable and rate it on our scale.

What Is Your Paranormal Podcast About?
Our show is about all things in the realm of the supernatural and bizarre.
Some of the most popular topics our spooky podcast covers can vary from personal stories, like hauntings, haunted houses, seeing ghosts, lost time, cryptids, alien abductions, and UFOs, to some of the more well-known topics like Area 51, Bigfoot, Loch Ness, Travis Walton’s alien abduction, Skinwalkers, black-eyed kids, Dyatlov’s Pass, Resurrection Mary, and conspiracies like chemtrails, and the death of Princess Diana.
From the well-known to the obscure and deeply unsettling, we love doing the research and delivering a show that everyone can enjoy whether they’re well versed in the lore or if it’s the first time they’re hearing about a topic.
We work to make every episode in a storytelling style where we cover the specifics of the story, followed by our discussion and our thoughts on this week’s topic. After the discussion, we rank the story on our believability scale.
Why Do Fans Say You Have The Best Paranormal Podcast To Listen To?
Every listener has different levels of enjoyment when it comes to the mysterious and unknown but what makes our show good is how our hosts handle the topic.
Some hosts go in believing everything. While this can make for an enjoyable show, it can be blind to possible holes in the story.
On the flip side, you don’t want a show that doesn’t believe in anything and is dismissive of the possibilities of something more being out there.
The best podcast walks the line of being open-minded about the possibilities of the unexplained as well as being able to see the holes that may point to a topic being fake or embellished.
Whether you’re looking for a paranormal podcast for the spooky season or looking for an open mind and honest opinions delivered straight to you, we are your guys. Both skeptics and those with an uncanny ability to suspend their disbelief (AKA the Ultimate Believers) can enjoy our show.
Let’s take a look at some of the best topics that we’ve done.
Cryptid Podcasts
Who doesn’t love cryptid creatures? The Loveland Frogman is a favorite of our very own Charlie, as is the Loch Ness Monster. But you can’t forget about The Mothman, Dover Demon, and The Not Deer.
The Legend of Mothman
The Mothman is one of the most well-known cryptids across the United States, if not the world. While it has supposedly made an appearance in Chicago not too long ago, the most famous Mothman encounter happened in Point Pleasant, West Virginia.
In this episode, we cover what happened in Point Pleasant as well as some of the theories that we think might explain it.
If you’re ready to be creeped out, you can listen by clicking the link above.
The Loch Ness Monster
Who hasn’t heard of Nessie? The Loch Ness Monster is one of the most famous cryptids in the world.
Many suggest that this cryptid has more natural explanations like an eel, elephant crossing the loch, or even punky wood being released from the depths of the Loch.
In this show, we dive into the history of Nessie and discuss whether we think this cryptid is real or is there some natural explanation.

UFOs & Alien Paranormal Podcasts
We wouldn’t be a real paranormal podcast if we didn’t cover UFOs and Aliens!
The Travis Walton Alien Abduction
Perhaps the most famous alien abduction story is the Travis Walton story.
Missing for days and his coworkers accused of murdering him and hiding the body, Travis Walton tells an amazing tale of his experience of being abducted and the time he spent on the alien spacecraft.
In this episode, we recount Travis’ harrowing abduction and discuss what we would do in the situation if we saw a friend get abducted by a UFO.
We also discuss possible explanations that might explain other ways Travis could have this experience.

The Pascagoula Abduction
In this show, we cover another well-known alien abduction event. The Pascagoula Abduction.
Charlie (not our Charlie) and Calvin had gone on a fishing trip, but they ended up going on a much bigger trip than they planned when they were abducted by aliens.
This alien abduction is one of the most compelling stories involving some subterfuge by the local police to undermine the men, only to have it corroborate their story.
Take a listen to this alien abduction story by clicking the link above.
Conspiracy Theory Podcast
We are no strangers to covering conspiracy theories. From Dyatlov Pass and 9/11 conspiracies to Chemtrails, we cover them all.
9/11 Conspiracies
One of the most tragic attacks on America has not been without some serious questioning. In this episode, we tactfully discuss 3 common conspiracy theories that surround the 9/11 tragedy and tell you which ones we buy and which ones are ridiculous.
Of course, it needn’t be said, but still, we want to reiterate that 9/11 is absolutely a national tragedy, and in no way to our opinions or discussion take away from the grief many individuals and facilities still feel today.
Take a listen to our episode about 9/11 conspiracies by clicking on the link above.
Chemtrail Conspiracies
What are chemtrails? Environmentalists claim these smokey streaks we see behind planes in the sky are simply water vapor that turns into ice droplets – mixed with carbon dioxide and minimal sulfur from the plane’s engine. However, many believe that these streaks are the cause of illness, population control, weather manipulation, and even mind control!
Take a listen to our show about chemtrails by clicking on the link above.
Haunting & Ghost Paranormal Podcast
Last but certainly not least, we have podcasts about ghosts and hauntings. From subjects like the possession of Roland Doe (which served as the inspiration for the Exorcist) to Bobby Mackey’s Music World and even creepy stories at Disney.
The Ouija Board Demon
This was a frightening story from one of our listeners. This tale was brought to us by Holly from South Chicago. She, and a few of her friends, decided to create their own ouija board with cardboard and sharpies, take it to their friend’s rural house, and have some fun.
Little did they know that their actions would have severe and life-long consequences. But, do we believe it? Click on the link above to hear more about this frightening encounter.
Haunted Disney
What could possibly be spooky about the most magical place on Earth? Besides your wallet, apparently a lot.
In this episode, we tackle Haunted Disney. Creepy, urban legends, deaths, mysterious tape, and encounters that span both Disney World and Disney Land.
From saying “hello” to George to a mysterious old man with a can, these stories are loaded. Click on the above link to hear more about the darker side of the magical kingdom.
Hear What Our Fans Have To Say About Our Paranormal Stories Podcast.
While we believe wholeheartedly in our podcast, we understand it is a biased point of view. There are a lot of great podcasts out there, like Jim Harold’s Paranormal Podcast, Astonishing Legends, Paranormal Life, and Last Podcast On The Left, and we are incredibly appreciative of the listeners that take the time to listen to us.
We don’t want you to take just our word for it. Take a look at what some of our listeners have said about our show.
“I just recently moved to Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati, Ohio, I wanted to learn more about spooky places in Ohio. The Ohio University episode was the first one I found, and it had me hooked. Within a week or two, I’ve almost listened to almost every episode, and I am eagerly awaiting all the future releases. Keep up the good work and stay spooky.” -FalcorGaming

“I love this show!!! I started searching for some creepy/spooky/bizarre podcast to listen to as my favorite holiday is approaching; I’m so happy I found this one; it’s definitely one of my favorites! It’s a mixture of funny and scary, so you’re not left feeling like you need every light on in the house while you listen…maybe just one or..two.” -jessa33
“My favorite podcast by far; I work early mornings, and to help my brain get going, I always put on this amazing duo. I highly recommend it to any fan of the paranormal.” -AngeliqueAmber99
“It’s been so hard for me to find spooky content that keeps my attention. I feel like most paranormal podcasts get so cheesy for the sake of entertainment, and it takes away from the credibility of the hosts/stories. But I’m so glad I found these guys!! I love the way Tyler and Charlie present their information. They switch off, and I feel like it really makes the podcast more interesting. They’re funny but know when to be serious. I can also appreciate that they’re open-minded and are not biased when they approach all the different topics. I’m trying desperately to catch up on all the episodes so I don’t feel out of the loop, LOL. Honestly speaking, they’re the first duo I’ve enjoyed listening to since Shane and Ryan from Buzzfeed. I have and will continue recommending this podcast to anyone who enjoys spooky content!” -priscillaxsan
“This is one of the best paranormal podcasts on iTunes. I look forward to every Tuesday to hear the next topic. From Cryptids to aliens and UFOs, this duo covers everything. They’re also open-minded and is one of the true paranormal podcasts that doesn’t seem to abandon critical thinking. Keep up the great work, Charlie and Tyler!!!”- Sparhawk62
