Welcome to episode 49 of The Paranormal Rundown! Our guest this episode is Ryan Kralik, the author of a forthcoming book called It From Us – An Information-First Framework and the Purpose of Consciousness. Ryan has a fascinating theory about reality, where existence is built on information, not matter or consciousness. He has shared his ideas and incorporated feedback from people like Hal Puthoff, Rupert Sheldrake, Dean Radin, and Ed Kelly, and published articles about this framework in Ancient Origins and on his website, itfromus.com. Our conversation takes a deep dive into paranormal phenomena, quantum mechanics, and even social structures and religions as a way to manage coherance within the system. We learn a little about Vic's mind as a child, Ryan's personal experiences with Remote Viewing, and even how Star Trek is Information First! Along the way we discuss UFO, Being Antitheist, Santa Clause, Remote Viewing, Rewriting Reality, UAP Materials, Religious Dogma, Human Motivations, Frank Tipler's Omega Point, and more. While this isnt a typical Rundown, full of random selections from The List, we think you will really enjoy this discussion on reality, the paranormal, and how it all might just be founded on an Information First Substrate.

You can find Ryan's contact information, articles, and latest blog posts at https://www.itfromus.com/

Welcome to Episode 47 of The Paranormal Rundown! This episode is just the 3 of us, as Fr. Josh is a little under the weather. Still, we manage to get into some deep discussions around Star Wars and the Sith, as compared to paranormal topics like PSI, and Vic and Fr. Mike do a little educating of Dave on the physics of gravity, velocity, and resistance, using the parable of the Bowling Ball and the Feather. Along the way we discuss A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift, Darth JarJar, Victor and the Sick, Dying Alien, 3IAtlas, The Yank It Out Of Your Kazuni School of Statistics, the NASA Vacuum Chamber Drop, Foucault's Pendulum, the Light and Dark Side of the Force, Diogenes, and of course, the Great Cicada Robbery Wave of '96. So dust of that physics textbook and get your Star Wars universe map ready to go!

Welcome to Episode 46 of The Paranormal Rundown! We are back! This is the beginning of Season 3, and we are very exited to have such a great guest to start back with. Maxim Furek is an author of books on a variety of paranormal topics, the latest of which released yesterday, Paranormal Apocalyse: Is This how It Ends? Maxim is a great Rundown guest, he has interests all over the paranormal world. We cover topics such as the Albert Ostman Bigfoot Abduction, Padre Pio, Amityville, and Addiction and the Demonic. We highly recommend you read his books, which you will find in one of the links below. Other topics covered include the Miracle of Recovery, St. Theresa of Avilla, Alien Abduction, The Smurl Haunting, Interdimensional Bigfoot, Time Travel, Anabelle's Tour, The K-T Event, Jim Jones, and The Case for AI. I believe we all left the recording thinking we may need to have him come back later this season, as there were many topics left to explore, including his interactions with Ed and Loraine Warren. As a season opener, I don't think we could ask for more, enjoy!

As a quick note, there has been a serious upgrade to a member of the Paranormal Rundown Team. Deacon Josh is now Father Josh! He was ordained back at the beginning of August, as a priest in the Charismatic Episcopal Church. We are very excited to see him take the next step towards his future. Congratulations to both Fr. Josh AND Fr. Mike!

You can find Maxim at https://www.maximfurek.com/

Welcome to Episode 45 of The Paranormal Rundown! This is the final episode of Season 2, which we wrap up with just the Gang of Nerds. We have some pretty interesting discussion around the life of an Exorcist, Fr. Mike and David strike up a debate on Nephilim and the Demonic, we take a wide detour on the food and critters in the South, and eventually get to different ideas around Bigfoot Attacks. Along the way we touch on Insults to Exorcists, Preparing for Your First Exorcism, Exorcism Ministry Impact on the Priest, Charging for Exorcism, Disembodied Demonic Nephilim (DDNs), What ARE Demons, Feral Hogs, Pigs Feet and Chitlins, Bigfoot Food Sources, Okefenokee Swamp Bigfoot Attack, Nephilim to Giants to Bigfoot, Dead Bigfoot Removal Team, Invisible Bigfoot, Nephilim Caveman Theory. As you can see, this season ends with rabbit holes abound!

We will be taking a break for a month or two (probably two), but we will be back in no time with Season 3.

Welcome to Episode 44 of The Paranormal Rundown! In this episode we have Jeff join us from Falling Knife Films. Jeff has an extensive background in paranormal investigation and research, including multiple investigations with David. He also has a very creative side, now with a focus on AI generated video. Additionally, Jeff has had some fascinating results using AI as a psychic! Later in the episode we discuss our plans to validate some of this activity, with The Great Psychic Chat GPT Experiment, and how it might actually be possible. We dig deep into AI, Consciousness, Technology, and Science, with side roads that include The Carrington Event, Red Mercury, the Star Wars Program, Autonomous AI, AGI, Wilder Penfield, Quantum Tubules, Tokens in Tokens out, Spirit Manipulation of Technology, Electro-Neuro-Magnetic Pulse, AI Training, GPTs demonic voice, the Turing Test, Doctor GPT, GPT Analyzes Fabio, Bobby Mackey's, Energy Effects on Paranormal Activity, and Beginner's Luck. Oh, and Jeff shares with us an extremely unique (and perhaps a little disturbing) EVP of Chickens. So fire up your favorite AI research assistant, and prepare to step into a future where technology and the paranormal collide!

Welcome to Episode 43 of The Paranormal Rundown! Bert, the David Bowie look-a-like Dutch psychiatrist, is back with us again to discuss all things paranormal and psychological. Bert did his best to keep us on track, but I think he is going to have to schedule us for several more rounds of group therapy. We managed to cover Psychology vs Parapsychology, PSI, Tenhaeff, Nostradamus, Handling Paranormal and Spiritual Experiences in Therapy, Schizophrenia, The Mystery of Life Itself, The Castle of the Soul, The Desert Fathers and the Seven Steps to Habitual Sin, Childhood OCD, The Psychiatry of AI, AI as a Tool for the Neurodivergent, LLMs talking about Mary, Bullebak, and Frank Herbert's Dune. As you can see, we may need to up our dose of ADHD meds, but it certainly makes for an interesting Rundown!

As mentioned in our last episode, our numbering scheme has changed. However, some knucklehead told Vic the wrong episode number when we started, so you are not going crazy if you noticed that episode 43 is called 42 in all the audio references. I have taken the culprit out behind the woodshed and dealt with the problem, so I promise it won't happen again! Now, if you will excuse me while I go find an ice pack to sit on...

If you have any suggestions on what episode number we should use next time, please email us at feedback@paranormalrundown.com

Welcome to Episode 42 of The Paranormal Rundown! Our guest this week is Randy, who has had a great number of experiences and a lifelong interest in the Paranormal. We have some great discussion around The Crawfordsville Monster and other biologic UFOs, his experiences with Astral Projection and a Spider-like Crawler that terrorizes his parent's house, and paranormal experiences he has had in the medical laboratory setting. He also came with a list of questions for Vic about his Yowie experience, from episode 20. Randy is such a paranormal enthusiast that he even wrote us after the show with a few more questions, that we record a response to at the end. There is also a theme that comes up multiple times in Randy's analysis, the idea that paranormal activity is manifested out of some sort of intent, or on demand. We apply this idea to UFOs, Bigfoot, and more. As Vic would say, this is Prime, Grade A Paranormal Rundown! Randy fit right in, and we dig into all kinds of topics and tangents, including Sky Jelly, Chat GPT and Hallucinations, Cracks in the Paranormal Field, Evolution Driven Dimensional Travel, Generational Paranormal Activity, Chromatophores, Oz Effect Silence, Defense Mechanisms of Cryptids, and more. This is a long one, so get a snack, get comfortable, and enjoy the ride!

The podcast we mention that I met Randy through, is Into The Fray with Shannon Legro. We highly recommend that you listen to his episode, where he goes into much more detail on what he and his family have experienced: https://intothefrayradio.com/Episodes/itf-355-paranormal-breaches-and-glitches/

You may have noticed that the numbering of our episodes has changed. Going forward we will be referring to episodes as just an continuous, additive number. We will still release in seasons, taking a break in the summer, but for everyone's ease of access, the episode numbers will no longer contain a season. This will also make it easier to link the episodes to the new podcast coming soon, Paranormal Rundown Rabbit Holes.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 20 of The Paranormal Rundown! This episode we have several great topics to explore. First, we discuss The Old Icehouse, and how Vic grew up around several perfect paranormal locations, including Waverly Hills. We also discuss Phantom Social Workers and child trafficking, and Tears in Reality. Along the way we wander through 

Haunted Tourism Causing Paranormal Activity, Paranormal Dogs, Demonic Obsession, The Demonic Long Game, Phantom Social Workers, Child Trafficking, a Glitch in the Matrix, DejaVu DejaVu, Demonic Ladder Injuries, The Car Crash that Wasn't, and the Boy who Became His Brother. This is classic Paranormal Rundown, so buckle up and enjoy the ride!

We would also like our listeners to keep a look out for our new podcast. Very soon, we will begin publishing Paranormal Rundown Rabbit Holes. This will be a much shorter form version of the Rundown, with 20-30 minute clips from the main podcast.  This will be a weekly podcast that has our best, and funniest conversations. Something a little more consumable for those who don't have a couple of hours to listen, and who want a little more focused content. Let us know what you think!

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 19 of The Paranormal Rundown! This week our guest is Roddy, from the Destination Nightmare B-Movie Podcast. We start off with a deep dive into the idea of marrying non-traditional objects (ie: not human), then we do some interesting analysis of magnetic pole shifts, but we definitely get into 'bad' paranormal and horror movies for a bit. Roddy also recounts his many, many experiences with shadow figures, starting at a really young age, as well as seeing groups of them as an adult! Other topics include Ghost Alignment to Magnetic Poles, Paranormal Car Talk, Magnetically Aligning Ghost Apps, Ley Lines, Underground Nuclear Explosions, The Tungusta Event, Acknowledging The Dead, Corner of Your Eye Phenomena, and Demons Laughing at Father Mike in the Hospital. We also have a guest appearance of Beelzabubba from the Tailer Trash Terrors podcast, so you dont want to miss this one!

We would also like to let everyone know about a major change in the podcast. Due to significant life strains on his time, JJ has decided to step back from The Paranormal Rundown. We wish JJ the absolute best in all his future endeavors, and hope that he will be able to carve out some time to come back as a guest. Please don't forget that you can always reach him at https://www.southerndemonology.com

Season 2, Episode 17 is a bit of a different adventure for us. We have decided to break down the concepts presented in a Joe Rogan interview with Thomas Campbell, author of My Big TOE (Theory Of Everything). Campbell is a physicist who began experiencing the paranormal in college. Because of those experiences, he has gone on a life long quest to understand and explain them from a scientific perspective. Through that study and experimentation, he has created a very rich, flushed out theory of how all of life as we know it works. Further, he believes that his theory has sufficient results to answer many of the modern questions between Newtonian and Quantum Physics.

We strongly suggest that you watch Joe Rogan's interview of Campbell prior to this episode, in order to get the full context. If not, we do give an overview at the beginning of the show. https://youtu.be/tQR6SFK7lFc?si=mtIRUB-hxrNLUtJM

Our overall intent here is to map Campbell's framework and components to our understanding of God, all of Creation, and the many paranormal experiences and concepts we have discussed in the past.

Along the way I relate a relevant Near Death Experience of a coworker, Vic rather dubiously declares himself the Best Wordle Player in the World, Father Mike embarks on the First Paranormal Rundown Wordle Intuition Psychic Blocking Experiment, and we discuss topics including Out of Body Experiences, Simulation Theory, Intuition vs Intellect, Creative Uses for Computer Punch Cards, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, World of Warcraft, Leroy Jenkins, What is Hell, Various Paranormal Concepts, The Borg, and more. We really hope you enjoy this breakdown of Thomas Campbell's view of the universe, and our mapping of it to The Paranormal Rundown!

Please contact us at feedback@paranormalrundown.com and let us know what you think of this episode. We really enjoyed this format, and are thinking about making it a regular feature. Also, we are always looking for guests for the show. All we request is a strong interest in paranormal topics, and a good sense of humor!

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 16 of The Paranormal Rundown! The Gang of Nerds is down to a Duo tonight, just Vic and Dave. So we decided to do something a little different (unusual for us, right?!) Vic is going to take the role of the Atheist, Material Reductionist, and Dave is going to be the Everything is Paranormal, God Loving Hippie. The goal was to debate the possible reality of the topic, and maybe choose a winner. We did have a fairly decent list of paranormal topics, but in true Rundown fashion we only got through Consciousness, a little about the Akashic Record, and a shallow dive into Magick. We also dive into an EVP captured on the last episode with Fr. Justin, and discuss EVPs in general. Along the way we bounce around the subjects of Animal Consciousness, EEG Recorded at Time of Death, Higher Levels of Consciousness, Dolphins, PrayTV, Plant Consciousness, Universal Consciousness, Spooky Action At A Distance - SAAADs, Harry Houdini, Psychics vs Mediums, Remote Viewing, Irrefutable EVPs, Magick, Christian Rituals, Magical Contract Negotiation and Fulfillment, and the Crossroads Demon. Hopefully we did the Gang proud. I am almost certain Sky Daddy lover Dave smacked that Atheist Vic down pretty hard...

As always, if you have any questions, comments, or you really liked this episode format, please let us know at feedback@paranormalrundown.com

If you didn't like this show, please let us know twice!!

Vic would also like to know your thoughts on Cedric and Avalon. But be careful, Avalon has been know to cause a nightmare or two when offended...

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 15 of The Paranormal Rundown! This episode we have Father Justin Allen join us. Fr. Justin is a priest with the Charismatic Episcopal Church, and fellow seminary student with Deacon Josh. His perspective is especially interesting for the Rundown, as he has not spent any significant time in his life thinking deeply on the paranormal or supernatural. We also have a very lively discussion about a green Tupperware lid that materialized in Vic's sink! The main topics discussed are Things Walking Around that are not Human, Mysteries of the Sacraments (especially Confession), Why the Paranormal Frightens Us, and Consciousness. Along the way we touch on Podcast EVPs, Haunted Locations, Types of Ghosts, Unknown vs Unknowable, Alien Abduction and Implants, Alien Baptism, Koko the Gorilla, What is In the Image of God, Consciousness, Personality in the Womb, and Jason the Horse. Fr. Mike is especially frisky on this one, so don't miss out!

P.S. - Speaking of Podcast EVPs, be sure to listen closely at 1 Hour, 38 Minutes, and 45 seconds. Whatever is speaking there is on Fr. Justin's channel only, and it doesn't sound much like Fr. Justin...

If you have any questions, comments, or you happen to have the bowl that goes with Vic's lettuce keeper lid, please let us know at feedback@paranormalrundown.com

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 14 of The Paranormal Rundown! We are down a man or two on this episode, but that is ok, because we have a fantastic guest: Father Michael Pacella! He brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and ideas to the discussion. Father Michael has experience as a military chaplain, a PhD in Philosophy, experience as an exorcist, and 45 years of ministry. No wonder this conversation was so interesting! We hit the main topics of Satanic Corporate Logos, Alien Minds, and a brief stint on Sex Robots. One thing that each conversation kept coming back to was the Human Soul, from what damages it to what components it is made of. The Soul is definitely something Fr. Michael has thought deeply about. He also relays a personal story of seeing a Principality in the sky. Other topics we hit include Secret Organizations and Exorcism, Syncretism, Critical Thinking, KKK Chaplains, Soul Subversion, The Fifth Column, Demonic Influence in Combat, Soul Repair, The Soulless Mind, Demonic Obsession, Seeing Inside the Possessed, Evidence of Residence, and much more. Enjoy the Show!

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 13 of The Paranormal Rundown! For our first episode of 2025, we have the full gang! It was great to have everyone together again. This certainly isn't our longest Rundown, but we did cover some great topics. We have a pretty in depth talk on Haunted Real Estate in Japan, with JJ's personal experiences and David's idea of creating a new business: Haunted Property Insurance! We also have some interesting ideas about how a child could be born evil, including Fr. Birdsong's personal experiences (Just Kidding Deacon Josh!). We also touch on Stigmatized Properties, Real Estate Death Disclosure Requirements, Exorcising Properties, Tanuki, Dead In House Website, Genetic Evil, The Bad Seed Movie, Genetic Memory, Soul Genetics, Spiritual DNA Framework, Generational Sin and Curses, Substance of Evil, Zoroastrianism and Divine Evil, Psychic Defense, Hikikomori, Psychic Vampires, The Black Brain Process, and Demonic Attachments. That's quite a list, so let's get to it!

The Paranormal Rundown Crew would like to wish you ALL a Very Happy New Year! We will be back on the 15th with a new episode, so enjoy the rest of the holiday season and we will see you then!

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 9 of The Paranormal Rundown! The Gang of Nerds has been obliterated this month, Vic has Covid, David has neck problems, Fr. Mike is in a lot of pain, and JJ is taking in the fine dining and culture of Japan. Since we weren't able to get together and record a new episode, we thought we would do a recap of Season One. This started out as a simple idea of pull the top clips out of the season and make an episode out of it, but it turned into having about 9 hours or more of really great conversation! As a result, we decided to make it a four part series. We will be publishing an episode each Friday through the end of the year. Sort of a Paranormal Rundown countdown to 2025. Each episode will feature the best clips from five episodes last season. So that it is not just reruns, Vic and David will be adding a little commentary on each of the episode and history of the rundown as we go.  

This episode has conversation that covers Crop Circles, Hairy Hands, Ouija Boards, Estes Method, Azazel, Demons, Bamboo Chicken, Rocky Mountain Oysters, Cockroach Demon, Shared Stories, Hundredth Monkey Effect, The Antichrist, Bigfoot Encounter, Cheeseburger Cravings, Ghost Police Calls, and Spontaneous Combustion. Talk about a wide list of topics! We also have clips from our first guests, Father Michael Birdsong, paranormal writer Anna Maria Manalo, and retired police officer Val Zavala. We really enjoyed going back through these episodes and listening to some fascinating, and sometimes hilarious, conversation. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

We also have an ask of you the listener. David has been thinking of taking short clips like this out of each episode, and publishing it as it's own podcast. It would be maybe a 30-45 minute episode with some of the more interesting conversation from a full Rundown. If you have suggestions, or would like to see something like that, please email us at feedback@paranormalrundown.com. And as always, if you have any interest on joining us for a rundown, please let us know.
