The Paranormal CURSE That Caused the Great Fire of LONDON
2025 TOUR TICKETS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thisparanormallife.com⁠⁠⁠ The great fire of London, started on Pudding Lane in 1666 is known as one of the greatest tragedies in British history. But if it is known as an unavoidable accident, why was it predicted years earlier, and even drawn and depicted beforehand by soothsayers? That’s because there is a compelling argument that says the great fire was no ordinary fire, it was the result of a paranormal curse on the city of London. From biblical plagues to raining blood, to the number of the beast 666 in the date itself, something odd was going on. But what caused these paranormal events? Time for Rory and Kit to find out.

Wisconsin Man Ate ALIEN PANCAKES From a UFO
2025 TOUR TICKETS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thisparanormallife.com⁠⁠⁠ We’ve all eaten pancakes that taste ‘out of this world’, but what about pancakes that are literally not from Earth? That is the terrifying and delicious reality that Joe Simonton from Wisconsin stepped into in 1961 when a UFO landed and delivered pancakes to him. It might sound ridiculous but what followed was anything but — government involvement, laboratory testing, and local furore as the world tried to get to the bottom of this story.

Boy POSSESSED By Human Sacrifice - Leicester’s Humber Stone
2025 TOUR TICKETS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thisparanormallife.com⁠⁠⁠ Leicester is famous for many things; it’s football club… cheese… OK that’s pretty much it. But what about HUMAN SACRIFICE? It sounds far-fetched and yet like much of ancient Britain the land was once ruled by pagans, many of whom practiced a druidic religion which may have involved human sacrifice. Some say it’s because of that ancient history that Leicester’s Humber Stone has come to be cursed. Ghost sightings, spontaneous combustion, and possession have all been reported in this small region of Leicestershire. What is going on? And is it paranormal? It’s time for Rory and Kit to find out.

#422 Canada’s Most SHOCKING True UFO Story - Charlie Red Star
2025 TOUR TICKETS ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thisparanormallife.com⁠⁠ Canada is big. So big in-fact that it’s easy to hide things there. Don’t believe me? Maple syrup wasn’t bottled and sold around the world until the 1950s — THAT’S how secret they can keep things. So as it turns out it’s a great place to be a UFO with wide, vast, open plains and mountain ranges to fly around without being spotted. Except in 1975 I guess one of those UFOs screwed up and visited Manitoba, where it became a kind of local celebrity known as ‘Charlie Red Star’. What follows is documented as one of the world’s most believable UFO sightings. But do Rory and Kit believe?… time to find out!
