This Paranormal Life

To celebrate the release of A24’s new Backrooms movie, we wanted to release a new video supercut of our own Backroom’s episode #307, filled with everything you need to know about the lore of the creepypasta - from why it was created, to how you can end up there.

Imagine being trapped inside of a strange space with yellow walls, damp carpet, and buzzing fluorescent lights - It looks like our world, but you can feel something's wrong - It’s an endless maze of liminal spaces, unsettling symbols and maybe worst of all… you’re not alone in there.

In 1989 a strange object soared across the skies above the forests of Borisov, in Soviet Russia. Locals watched in awe as the object crashed into the rocks, exploding into a ball of flames that burned for hours on end. When a research team finally reached the site… they’d couldn’t believe what they discovered. Today's story isn’t coming from reddit or some online UFO forum, it’s coming straight from declassified documents released by the CIA.

On the freight line between Cincinnati and Marietta lies a dark paranormal secret, a secluded ghost town where many souls have met their end, if the stories are true, haven’t passed on to the other side… In Moonville Ohio lies a tunnel in which countless ghosts have been seen in the last 150 years including three prolific spirits: the Brakeman, the Lavender Lady, and the ‘Bully’. All souls who met an unfortunate and disturbing end on this railway line during a dangerous time in American history. But are the stories and sightings real or just urban legends? Kit and Rory investigate to find out!

The Moonville Tunnel - The Midwest’s Most Haunted Ghost Town

In 1970 two friends and skiers Aarno and Esko were traversing the frozen wilderness of Southern Finland when they had a close encounter of the third kind (CE3), experiencing a never-before-seen type of alien carrying a box, but let’s just say it didn’t come bearing gifts… But what happened after their encounter? Was there physical evidence of the UFO landing? And why is this case considered so believable? Time for Rory and Kit to investigate.

Alien Elves and Finland’s Most Famous UFO - The Imjärvi Incident

In November 1945, a resident of Bennington, Vermont walked into the mountainous forest and never returned. Locals didn’t know it at the time but he was about to be the first of MANY disappearances that would take place over the next 5 years. Something was calling these people into the woods, and the second they were out of sight, they disappeared completely…

The Forest Where People Disappear - The Bennington Triangle

In 1930, a 4 year old girl in Delhi, India started to make some incredible claims, claims relating to the concept of reincarnation. As we’ll see these weren’t just the random babblings of an innocent child, the claims proved strangely accurate. Who was this little girl? And how did she convince Mahatma Gandhi himself that reincarnation is real? Time for Rory and Kit to investigate!

The Woman Who Proved Reincarnation is Real - Shanti Devi

For hundreds of years, humans have encountered strange unidentified objects in the sky and when they report them, they’re all told the same thing - “shut up or we’ll kill your family”. However there’s one organisation that works differently, and they’re known as GEIPAN - the French men in black. Their first case today? The time that 4 little kids floated into an orb…

The REAL LIFE French X Files

When The Omen premiered in 1976 it caused a stir globally. While continuing the legacy of recent supernatural horror movies like Rosemary’s Baby, and The Exorcist, it almost went a step further by depicting the anti-christ himself in the character of little Damien. Religious leaders were worried that depicting the anti-christ and his work would invite chaos and destruction — and they weren’t wrong — the movie production would become one of the most disastrous and infamous with several deaths linked to what would eventually be known… as the curse of The Omen.

The Omen - The Most Cursed Movie Production of All Time?

In 1938, the small community of Provincetown began to notice a tall, dark figure watching them from afar. Women and children reported these sightings to the police, describing a an 8-foot, humanoid shadow man with glowing eyes and a dark hat. The local cops assumed it was all just a hoax, until the creature started attacking the residents of P-town…

The Shadow Man of Provincetown - The Black Flash

Have you ever thought about someone right before they called you out of the blue? There are cases where identical twins will both experience a specific pain hundreds of miles apart at the same time. Why do coincidences happen? Famed psychologist Carl Jung theorised that when a truly wild coincidence took place, something deeper was going on — something paranormal. On this episode Kit and Rory explore some of the world’s wildest and most entertaining coincidences to see whether synchronicities are really paranormal or just coincidences on steroids…

Synchronicity - The World’s Most Unbelievable Coincidences

In August of 1944, residents of Mattoon, Illinois began waking up in the middle of night to a strange, sweet smell floating in the room. When they tried to get out of bed and investigate, they realised… they couldn’t move their legs. These strange attacks spread through the town, house by house, until eventually every resident went to sleep fearing that they too would wake up to the sweet, deathly smell of the MATTOON MYSTERY GAS.
