The Paracast — The Gold Standard of Paranormal Radio

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz take you on a fascinating, sometimes frightening journey through the strange and the unknown with James Creachbaum (Doctor J.C.), who has been investigating the paranormal for over 30 years all over the U.S. He says there is nothing in the field that he hasn't seen or done to help people with paranormal problems. The "Paranormal Doctor" retired from boots on the ground helping people in 2019, and has been on cable TV shows and  paranormal radio shows. His experiences include participating in exorcisms, closing spirit portals, detaching spirits from people and objects. James has seen spirits since a very young age. Over the years, he has helped paranormal teams and families with paranormal problems, and he tries to educate people on the dangers of messing with this field. James is the Monday host on Night Dreams Talk Radio Network which airs at 9 pm Eastern with guests covering all things paranormal.

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present Ronald Kinsella,  an artist, illustrator and author. He started using crayons, acrylics, oils and even airbrush, before moving on to the wonderful world of digital. He has an avid interest in UFOs and has written and illustrated numerous books, including science fiction. He has appeared on national television and also jointly hosts a paranormal radio show, ‘Twin Souls’ along with his identical twin brother, Philip. In his book "Illusions —  Smoke & Mirrors of the UFO/ET/Paranormal Enigma," Kinsella questions the validity of a number of alien, UFO and cryptid reports which range from the unusual, to the very bizarre, throughout the world. This interrogation is not based on their authenticity, rather, questioning a much darker aspect to their origins and of a seemingly fragmented phenomena. Is it just possible we have been duped by something else? Something far more sinister? Is it at all feasible to suggest that many of the ghosts, cryptids, and alien encounters, reported by hundreds of thousands of people throughout time, have been manifested by a Force that is as cunning as it is ingenious? Has it also employed its tactics through the likes of Scrying, CE-5 Initiatives, along with the Ouija Board? And is Skinwalker Ranch — a reputed hotspot for paranormal activity — being used as its playground, knowing that interest of it has certainly arisen?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.
