  • In this episode of "Small Town Tales Podcast," we are joined by Henry San Miguel, a seasoned media host in the paranormal field, to discuss the latest trends and fads surrounding the paranormal community. Henry shared his insights on the ever-evolving landscape of paranormal TV shows, highlighting how the genre has captivated audiences with its mix of suspense, drama, and alleged real-life encounters with the supernatural. We also delved into the boom and decline of TV shows and paracons—conventions dedicated to all things paranormal—and how they have become a hotspot for enthusiasts, investigators, and celebrities alike to share experiences and knowledge.

    About Henry:
    From the moment he experienced full-body apparitions in his room in December of 1977, Henry has had a fascination & curiosity about anything paranormal. Always the weird kid at school and in his family, he spent countless hours alone reading about ghosts, astral projection, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, UFOs, aliens, and conspiracy theories (and has lived long enough to see many of those theories turn into fact).

    In 1984, two big things came into his life: Ghostbusters and radio. Even though it was a comedy, the first Ghostbusters confirmed many things Henry had seen in real life and introduced some new concepts that have stayed with him to this day. Even more than Poltergeist did two years earlier.

    A few months after Ghostbusters, radio came into his life completely by accident. He has been in radio as an air personality, "Voice of God" (station voice), talk show producer, production director, program director, operations director, and, ultimately, Talk show host. His nearly four decades in radio allowed him to meet and learn from psychics, paranormal investigators, and Art Bell from Coast To Coast AM, all influencing the sound of Paranormal Perception.

  • For those who have listened to me on Small Town over the years, you know I always reference the Gateway Program, developed through the work of Robert Monroe and the Monroe Institute in Virginia. Monroe believed that by using specific sound frequencies and meditation techniques, he could leave his physical body and travel via a second body, or spirit body, to other realities removed from the physical world — places unbounded by time or death.

    The Gateway Program is a series of audio exercises using frequencies, including binaural beat hemispheric synchronization exercises, developed by Robert A. Monroe to achieve expanded states of consciousness. Through these courses, I was able to dissociate from myself and connect with spirit beings from the other side through the combined hemi-sync frequencies and meditational exercises.

    My guest, psychologist and author Candice Sanderson, joins me for this episode of the Small Town Tales Podcast to discuss her out-of-body travels, her experience with the Monroe Institute, and her book, The Reluctant Messenger: Tales from Beyond Belief.

    About Candice Sanderson

    In August 2013, Candice Sanderson began receiving messages from nonphysical realms, changing her pragmatic life as a psychologist. Since that remarkable transformation, multiple agencies have studied her newfound skills: researchers from the Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS) at the University of Virginia, the Institute for the Awakened Mind, Monroe Institute, and a Harvard study funded by the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies (BICS).

    Sanderson’s international award-winning books, The Reluctant Messenger, The Reluctant Messenger Returns, and her series of short books called From the Reluctant Messenger, chronicle some of her out-of-body travels and extraordinary connections with non-human intelligences.

    All of her books have been #1 Best-Sellers on Amazon in multiple categories, and over 10,000 copies have sold across the globe.

  • In the first part of this episode Small Town Tales talks with the founder and CEO of Mysterious Adventures Tours, a dark adventure tour group that travels worldwide to explore the most haunted locations in the world. Maria Schmidt shares her insights on haunted travels and how it has changed her perspective on life. Maria has also founded the world’s largest ghost hunt & started recognition for the National Ghost Hunting Day in September.

    In the second half of this episode, I talk about my book and personal story of Dancing with Demons. It has occurred to me that many of my listeners don’t know why I am into the paranormal. Join me as I share a little bit about my story and why I wrote the book.

    About Maria Pons-Schmidt
    Maria, throughout her childhood and later as a Registered Nurse working with gerontology and hospice, has always been inspired to explore supernatural myths and legends that influence cultural beliefs and traditions. In 2015, she published a website, Haunted Journeys, that catalogs distinctive historical destinations around the world that are said to experience ethereal phenomena and unexplainable activities.

    In 2016, Haunted Journeys commissioned the certification for National Ghost Hunting Day, celebrated on the last Saturday of each September. Annually, on this date, thousands of stakeholders, and enthusiasts of the “other-worldly” field, gather globally to participate in the World’s Largest Ghost Hunt™ event, raising generous funds for historical preservation. In addition, it has also raised public awareness (and perhaps some acceptance) for the science of enigmatic wonders, within the realm of para-psychology studies.

    With these treasured resources and experiences, Maria’s entrepreneurial spirit further took flight! In 2020, she founded a tourism company, Mysterious Adventures Tours LLC, based in Hamilton, Ohio, USA.

    Coining a new travel category defined as “Supernatural Tourism”, Mysterious Adventures Tours LLC awakens curiosity for the unexplainable and esoteric. Maria’s creative itineraries bring small groups of vagabonds to locations that break the mold of traditional tourism. Their guests experience the enigmatic, spectral, spiritual, and even haunted legends in the most stunning destinations around the world. She is proud to provide, through this resilient curiosity for the mystery, a security that their history and culturally-bound legends will not be forgotten. For you see, “A haunting is history wishing to be heard.”

  • When we think of hauntings, we think of places that are old, Victorian homes, abandoned asylums, old schools and jails, old bricks, old dolls, you see where I am getting at. But this isn’t always the case is it. How many investigators out there found that their most extraordinary paranormal experiences came not from the popular tourist attractions and haunted houses, but rather, from your own home or place where you least expect it?

    My guest tonight has a story like my own in a haunting that occurred in an apartment building, and according to her book, Dark Side of the Apple, it was a real-life horror story that lasted nearly 28 years.


    About Sabrina Marie
    Sabrina Marie has 33 years of experience in the field of paranormal investigation, much of that time has been spent in research. Her investigative journey began at the age of 13, but she has communicated with spirits for as long as she can remember.

  • One of the most profound spiritual trips that I have ever embarked on had to have been my trip through Transylvania. At the time, I was going through some spiritual changes, and the dark eerie atmosphere of Romanian spiritualism took hold, from the trek through the Carpathian Mountain sides exploring the very Castles where Vlad the Impaler was either imprisoned or lived, to the most haunted forest in the world there are many events that to this day stand out.

    Along the way – I met some very powerful witches who live on the outskirts of Bucharest and experienced a small ritual performed at the legendary witch’s pond outside of Bucharest.

    Locals do not dare touch these waters because of the powers it is said to possess. This pond is small, more like an oversized puddle.It is said to be bottomless, in that anything thrown into the lake disappears – no matter how big the object isThe cursed water is said to bring curses upon anyone who dares touch the water or take it.The water level never changes, even through floods and droughts.And most importantly, it is said that Vlad Tepes met his end at this pond and was beheaded. His evil spirit is believed to have been poured out into the pond –

    One of the things I did during my journey through Romania was witness a gathering of witches at the Witches Pond for one of their ceremonies to appease the spirits. This witch’s coven is small but claims to be the most powerful in the world. Witchcraft continues to be used around the world for the collective greater good, and not in fact for evil – as is commonly believed. Thus, it’s no different than what prayer and good thoughts are supposed to accomplish.

    About the Coven
    Mihaela Minca and her witch clan family live in the town of Mogoșoaia on the outskirts of Bucharest. Here they practice their magical rites through a long line of generational gypsy witchcraft, dabbling into the murky waters of black magic for the greater good of their clients who seek them out in the hope of curing their emotional, physical, or financial ailments.

  • Dan Harary, the author of After They Came, discusses his life after multiple UFO encounters and talks about Reverse Alien Technology and what it means for humanity on the planet.

    In March, a Tennessee Congressman said that he believed that "we have recovered a craft at some point, and possible beings." In February, four mysterious objects were shot down over North America in quiet and quick succession. With this story coming out over mainstream news and me living so close to Area 51, I want to explore the idea of what it could mean for humanity if we did generate alien technology. Would we advance as a civilization or collapse?

    About Dan Harary
    In 1970, Dan and his father, an Electronics Engineer for the U.S. Army, had a major UFO sighting in New Jersey; after his father’s death in 2017, He recalled that encounter later and was inspired to write After They Came. Dan later experienced two other UFO events: In 1996, high in the sky above the Lancaster, CA, desert, he saw a bright white ball of light quickly travel from one end of the sky to the other – then stop – then reverse its course by returning to its original point of origin! And in 2008, while spending a weekend at James Gilliland’s ECETI Ranch in Washington State during a UFO Conference, Dan and hundreds of attendees witnessed a bright, lime green UFO suddenly appear overhead, blink its lights on and off, then disappear into the night. Dan is a longtime member of the Los Angeles-based chapter of MUFON (the Mutual UFO Network).

  • In this episode of Small Town Tales, my guest, Josh Purvis revisits his experiences during an investigation of a haunted location in West Virginia steeped in history. The land itself includes history related to a hotel with a healing spring, a tuberculosis sanatorium, and a home for the elderly. The Searchers embark on a journey to experiment with the idea that the paranormal experiences people have maybe be generated by an energy they are exerting instead of the energy of the location.

    This episode is better viewed on youtube. Josh shares various clips from the film, "The Searchers" and talks about the experiments they used with extra sensory deprivation and the experiences generated by these experiences. The question of what caused the paranormal activity is yet to be explained.

    About Josh Purvis: Josh Purvis has been involved in the paranormal industry for 12 years. His first paranormal experience occurred at the Sorrell-Weed house in Savannah, Georgia. He and his wife were participating in a haunted tour and snapped several photos in the basement. On their drive home, they found an apparition of a woman in one of their pictures, and Josh was hooked. He has investigated locations all across the southeast, searching for ghosts, aliens, and even the elusive Bigfoot, in addition to having a strong background in filmmaking. Through his paranormal interests, he met Shane Pittman about 10 years ago, and the idea of Searchers began. The rest, as they say, is history.

  • In this episode of Small Town Tales, my guest, elemental researcher Kate Ray, takes a deep dive into connecting with elementals, that is the Fae. Her journey takes on paranormal cases involving these spirits that beg every paranormal researcher to look closer into the spirit world.

    The fae, in the broadest sense, is all those who belong to the order of fairies, including those creatures which seem to be disconnected from the classic fairy archetype and are likely to not match mentally with most people’s images of what a fairy or faerie really is. There are many names given to these creatures across every culture on the planet. The names appear in popular literature dating back to Roman Times.

    So what are the fae and what is their purpose? Kate talks about her personal experiences and studies into the secret life of the fae, as well as pointers for those who may have an elemental attachment to their property.

    About Kate Ray: Kate Ray is a paranormal investigator, researcher, and writer for Haunted Magazine. and has been featured in the text about faeries.

As part of her podcast, she has interviewed many famous people and asked them about their understanding of high strangeness. She often gives talks about the paranormal with a focus on her work with faeries. Kate is also an artist, teacher, herbalist, tarot reader, seer, and practicing pagan.

  • In this episode of Small Town Tales, my guest, paranormal researcher Mike Delcoro, shares his insights on the benefits of extrasensory deprivation in connecting with spirits.

    Experimentation with techniques to move past the “left” brain and open channels to higher vibrations to communicate with the spirit world has been used for nearly a century. The Victorians used transcendent meditation; the Germans sought occultists and psychics to advance war strategies by tapping into the spirit world; Hans Holzer and even the Warrens tried various experiments to connect with Spirit.

    Extrasensory deprivation has long been believed to help open doorways into the spirit world. Mike Delcoro discusses three different methods to test this during investigations, the Ganzfeld Experiment, the Estes Method, and one of his inventions, the DELCO Experiment.

    About Mike Delcoro: Florida Paranormal Researcher, Mike Delcoro is a tech specialist, investigator, and case manager with the War Party Paranormal Research Team. He is also Co-Host of the War Party Paranormal radio show on KGRA digital broadcasting. Mike Has always been fascinated by all things unexplained. His passion for videography and technology was something that he developed at a young age. He has been featured in numerous paranormal magazines, podcasts, and local TV spots.

My guest is an experienced tour guide and explorer with years of experience with hiking and with personal paranormal encounters. Alex explains the Romanian legends and hauntings of Hoia Forest and says that he once found 60 people from Bucharest in the middle of the clearing where nothing grows trying to open a gate into another dimension.

    The Hoia Baciu forest is just outside Cluj-Napoca, Romania, in the middle of Transylvania. It has been called the most haunted forest in the world. And The clearing is, allegedly, the creepiest place in the forest. It defies the investigations of soil scientists and attracts Romanian witches, paranormal seekers, UFO enthusiasts, and people who try to cleanse the forest of evil.

    In the second half of this episode, I sit down with Frances and Doug from Beyond the Veil Investigations to discuss their experiences with a negative haunting that was affecting their newborn baby. Frances and Doug provide insight into how they handled this haunting, protected their children, and how they regained control and security of their home.

  • Crystal, rainbow, and indigo children are spiritual beings here to help usher in an even high vibrational frequency. Indigo and Crystal children are considered special beings whose energy systems are extremely sensitive and may be affected by the energy around them in negative and/or harmful ways. With enhanced awareness, their highly tuned system picks up the negative emotional and environmental energy from their surroundings like a sponge.

    This causes Indigos or Crystals to become ungrounded, scrambled, and often energetically reversed, leading them to make poor choices and self-sabotage. Not only does this make their lives more difficult, but it also makes the job of teaching more challenging! Aurora Sky, teacher and Reiki Master, shares her insight on working with these special children not only in the classroom but as adults.

    About Aurora: Aurora Sky is a past life regressionist, Reiki master, lift untherapy practitioner, author, and preschool teacher. Her passion for energy healing has led her to create a treatment center using quantum touch, Reiki, kinesiology, past life regression, and quantum healing hypnotherapy.
