On today's episode, we're going off the beaten path to the remote swamps of Central Africa. Here, local legends talk about an enormous, long-necked creature that STALKS the murky waters of the Congo. This elusive beast is referred to only as 'Mokele Mbembe'... and whatever you do... don't eat it's meat.

Today we're investigating the Watseka Wonder, a story that many people believe is the first documented case of possession in American history.

Spain might not be synonymous with UFOs and the paranormal, but don’t be fooled, in 1979 it was host to one of the most believable and evidenced UFO cases ever told. For the first time in history a passenger plane was forced to emergency land because it was being pursued by a UFO. Kit and Rory also delve into some nearby UFO encounters that may shine a light on one of Europe’s most famous UFO encounters.

The Yeti is one of the most famous cryptids of all time. It is claimed to have been stalking the Himalayas for thousands of years, undetected by science due to the extreme conditions of it’s natural habitat. But while mainstream science doesn’t yet acknowledge the Yeti, the local Nepalese people are certain of its existence. Not only that, but the mountaineers who dare to climb Mount Everest have even photographed its footprints. On this intrepid and overdue episode of This Paranormal Life, Kit and Rory grab their oxygen tanks and reach for the paranormal summit — to prove the existence of the Yeti.

The world of the paranormal is a strange one. Just when you think you've heard about every cryptid under the sun, you find yourself by a river in New Jersey, looking into the cold dead eyes of a 7 foot praying mantis. How have we never heard of this cryptid before? Well, because maybe this creature isn't actually a cryptid after all...

To celebrate episode 400 Kit and Rory are reinvestigating Atlantis, one of the holy grails of the paranormal world, and crucially the first ever ‘yes’ on This Paranormal Life. Many years have passed since that recording and new evidence has come to light, begging the question: is it still a ‘yes? Episode four was also the first episode that they were drunk during the recording. So for episode 400 they have painstakingly recreated the original recording conditions…

Christmas is the most magical time of the year and, as it happens, it’s also one of the most paranormal… 

Christmas marks the winter solstice, the darkest day of the year when the veil between the world of the living and the dead is most thin. This is why for hundreds of years people gathered around the yule log to share ghost stories on Christmas Eve. One of the most shocking and believable tales is that of the Brown Lady of Raynham hall, set at Christmas time. Time for Kit and Rory to investigate.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Led Zeppelin are one of the most beloved and influential bands of all time. They set the world alight in the 70s along with the British Invasion and songs like Whole Lotta Love, and Stairway to Heaven. It was a heady time of success and excess for the band, but from the very beginning rumours circulated about their involvement in the occult and paranormal. On this episode Kit and Rory dive in to the legends of satanism and ritual that surrounded the band to decide; was any of it really paranormal?
