Today, we’re joined by a storyteller whose worlds feel ancient, haunted, and alive. Gabrielle is the author of Songs of Ash and Dawn, a dark fantasy woven with global folklore, disappearing witches, forgotten magic, and the kind of atmospheric world-building that stays with you long after you close the book. Her writing blends grief and mythology, shadow and beauty — pulling inspiration from Norse gods, Korean spirits, Slavic monsters, and the universal human experiences of loss, legacy, and finding light in the dark. Gabrielle has a gift for building universes that feel both otherworldly and deeply emotional. Her characters carry magic, trauma, and hope in equal measure, and her storytelling invites readers to explore big themes like ancestral memory, supernatural forces, and the mysteries that live just beyond the veil. I’m so excited to dive into her creative mind today and explore the lore, the darkness, and the magic behind Songs of Ash and Dawn.

In this episode of Paranormally, we explore telepathy — the forgotten language of thoughts, instincts, and cosmic downloads. From ancient mystics to government mind-control experiments, from cats that know when you’re sad to aliens that don’t need translators — we’re tuning into the unspoken signal that may connect us all. But we’re not stopping at the stars. We dive deep into the controversial podcast The Telepathy Tapes, which asks: could some nonspeaking autistic children actually be communicating telepathically? A wild idea — but one that might change how we understand consciousness, connection, and the limits of human perception. If you’ve ever “just known” something before it happened, if you’ve felt your dog was reading your mind, or if you’ve wondered why aliens don’t send emails… this one’s for you. Buckle up — because this episode is a thought you can’t unthink.

In a small Japanese town, a white phone booth stands alone on a windy hill overlooking the sea. It isn’t connected to anything — no signal, no number — and yet thousands of people visit it each year to call those they’ve lost. In this episode of Paranormally, we explore the hauntingly beautiful story of The Wind Phone in Ōtsuchi, Japan — a place where the living speak to the dead, and sometimes, the wind seems to answer back. We’ll journey through the phone’s origins, real visitor stories, and the deep cultural roots that make this ritual so powerful. Then, we’ll dive into the eerie history of the “Spirit Telephone” — the invention Thomas Edison once dreamed could connect the living to the afterlife. From whispers in the receiver to signs that our loved ones might still be listening, this episode asks one timeless question: What if love never really hangs up?

In this season finale of Paranormally, Ally opens her heart and shares deeply personal stories of connection, signs, and love that didn’t end — even after death.

Inspired by the book Signs by Laura Lynne Jackson, Ally explores how our relationships with those who pass don’t disappear — they evolve. She talks about the spiritual world, proof of life beyond this one, and how to connect with loved ones who have crossed over. This episode is part storytelling, part spiritual reflection, and a reminder that when we’re open to it… signs are everywhere. And the ones we love? They’re never really gone. 🦅 Dream messages, synchronicities, laughter, healing, and everything in between — this one’s for anyone who’s ever looked up and whispered, “Was that you?”

For thousands of years, tales of mermaids have drifted across cultures and coastlines—part myth, part memory, and maybe… something more. In this episode of Paranormally, we dive deep into the murky origins of mermaid lore, from ancient goddesses like Atargatis to the eerie river spirits of South Africa. You’ll hear real-life sightings—yes, including the time Christopher Columbus claimed to see three—and explore the chilling 2009 mystery of the Kiryat Yam mermaid, whose legend was so convincing, the town offered a million-dollar reward for proof. Are mermaids cryptids, spirits, or forgotten truths from a submerged world? Are they watching us from the waves? Prepare for mythology, mystery, and modern-day mermaid encounters that might just change how you see the sea. Because when the ocean calls… it’s never just the wind.
