The UFO conversation has changed dramatically in recent years. Whistleblowers, military encounters and government disclosures have pushed the phenomenon into the mainstream—but what if the biggest mystery isn't in the sky... but in the human mind? We noticed some small quality issues after the recording and editing. Please accept purchase apologies. In this fascinating episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal , Greg is joined by Psionics: The Minds That Summon UFOs' Patrick Scott Armstrong , presenter of the documentary and host of the hugely popular Vetted podcast. Together, they discuss the making of the film, which follows people who believe consciousness itself may play a role in UFO encounters. Over the course of a year, the filmmakers documented contact experiments across the United States and the UK, approaching the subject with open minds and no predetermined conclusions. We explore: Could consciousness be connected to the UFO phenomenon? What really happened during the filming of Psionics ? The controversy surrounding CE-5 and consciousness-based contact. How Patrick's own views evolved throughout the project. The overlap between UFOs, high strangeness and the wider paranormal. Whether you're a sceptic, a believer, or simply fascinated by the unknown, this is a conversation that asks some of the biggest questions surrounding the UFO mystery today. 👽 Is the phenomenon purely physical... or could the mind itself be part of the equation?

This episode delves into the intriguing world of the Talika Arms, a pub situated in Hollywell, North Wales, which has garnered attention for its documented paranormal activity. I shall elucidate the building's eerie ambiance, characterized by boarded windows and a haunting silence, which contributes to its reputation as a site of spectral occurrences. Unlike many other establishments of its kind, the Talika Arms is notable for its history of verified reports of supernatural events, as chronicled in local news and planning documents. As we explore the narratives surrounding this location, it becomes evident that the spectral phenomena intensified following its closure in 2018, rather than abating. Thus, we invite you to join us as we uncover the unsettling tales that have emerged from this historically charged site and its surroundings, shedding light on the curious intersection of history and ghostly legends. The discussion navigates the eerie and historically rich landscape of the Talika Arms, a pub located in the town of Hollywell, North Wales. The building, which has stood since the 19th century, presents a façade that inherently suggests a spectral presence, characterized by boarded windows and peeling paint, alongside the heavy silence typical of abandoned structures. Despite its dilapidated state, the Talika Arms is distinguished by its documented history of paranormal activity, which transcends mere folk tales and urban legends. Reports from credible news sources and official planning documents substantiate claims of strange occurrences, including inexplicable phenomena such as locked doors opening mysteriously, missing bottles, and flickering light bulbs, all witnessed not just by patrons but by those involved in its redevelopment. These incidents intensify the intrigue surrounding the building, particularly as they have reportedly escalated since its closure in 2018, suggesting a restless energy that continues to permeate its walls. The narrative also examines the broader context of Hollywell as a historically significant corridor, which has served pilgrims, workers, and travelers over generations. It posits that the intersection of such diverse human experiences could contribute to the residual energy believed to foster hauntings. The mention of local media coverage further amplifies the pub's notoriety, as aspects of its haunting are discussed not only in ghostly terms but also in the context of urban redevelopment, merging the realms of the supernatural and the tangible. This duality encapsulates the essence of the Talika Arms as both a physical structure and a vessel of history, where the past and present converge in a haunting narrative. Subsequent discussions venture into other haunted establishments in Hollywell, such as the Old Wine Vaults and the Boar's Head, each with their own tales of paranormal encounters that further enrich the town's spectral tapestry. These establishments contribute to a broader discourse on how shared experiences of the supernatural can create a collective memory that binds locals and visitors alike, affirming the enduring allure of haunted places and the stories they tell. Takeaways: The Talika Arms in Hollywell, North Wales, is renowned for its documented paranormal activity. Reports of unusual occurrences at the Talika Arms intensified following its closure in 2018. Local news outlets have published credible accounts of strange happenings at the Talika Arms. Witnesses have described various phenomena, such as locked doors and disappearing items, at the Talika Arms. The historical significance of the Talika Arms contributes to the belief in its haunting.

In this episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal , we head into Wales to explore two historic pubs with chilling reputations and richly layered pasts: the Prince of Wales Inn in Kenfig and the Black Boy Inn in Caernarfon . First, we uncover the eerie story of the Prince of Wales Inn , a building that began life as Kenfig’s old town hall and has served as a courtroom, market, inquest room and even a mortuary for shipwreck victims. With reports of ghostly organ music, disembodied voices , and alleged recordings made during a 1980s investigation, this is one of the most compelling haunted pub stories in Wales. We then travel north to the Black Boy Inn in Caernarfon , one of the oldest inns in Wales, where guests and staff have reported glasses flying from shelves, strange knocks and bangs, a crying child, and even an old woman appearing at the end of a bed . With over 500 years of history inside Caernarfon’s ancient walls, the Black Boy Inn is steeped in atmosphere and unsettling legend. Join us as we dive into the history, hauntings and public reports surrounding these two remarkable Welsh pubs — and ask whether these are simply stories born of age and folklore, or whether something unseen still lingers within their walls. The exploration of haunted establishments in Wales offers a compelling intersection of history and the supernatural, particularly evident in the narrative surrounding the Prince of Wales Inn, a historical edifice situated in Kenfig. This inn, with its origins as the town hall, encapsulates centuries of human experience, weaving a complex tapestry of civic life, commerce, and tragedy. The haunting claims associated with this venue, including spectral organ music and disembodied voices, are not mere folklore but rather documented occurrences that have intrigued both locals and investigators alike. The interplay between the building's storied past and the eerie phenomena reported provides a fertile ground for discussing the nature of memory and the persistence of human emotions in physical spaces. The haunting at the Prince of Wales Inn transcends simple ghost stories; it invites reflection on the very essence of history, memory, and the traces left by those who once inhabited its walls. Conversely, the Black Boy Inn in Carnarvon presents a different yet equally fascinating narrative. Established in the early 16th century, this inn is steeped in the lore of the region, drawing visitors not only for its historical significance but also for its rich array of haunting tales. The reported phenomena, ranging from moving objects to apparitions, contribute to a vibrant narrative that resonates with both the spectral and the historical. The inn's name itself is shrouded in mystery, with various theories regarding its origin, reflecting the layered complexity of historical narratives in Wales. The haunting experiences recounted by patrons and staff serve to reinforce the idea that these old establishments are not merely venues for hospitality but repositories of stories, emotions, and perhaps even the echoes of those who have come before. Here, the haunting is characterized by a tangible presence, as if the very essence of past visitors lingers in the atmosphere, shaping the experiences of those who pass through today. In synthesizing the experiences from both the Prince of Wales Inn and the Black Boy Inn, one discerns a profound commentary on the nature of hauntings themselves. The former is steeped in a haunting of echoes, where sounds of the past seem to reverberate through the building, while the latter embodies a haunting of presence, marked by the movement and disturbances that suggest an ongoing interaction with the past. These contrasting yet complementary narratives compel us to ponder the broader implications of how we relate to historical places and the stories they harbor. Each establishment stands as a testament to the enduring connections between the past and present, serving as a reminder that history is not merely a record of events but a living entity that continues to influence and inform our experiences in the present day. Such explorations of haunted locales in Wales not only enrich our understanding of the supernatural but also deepen our appreciation for the intricate tapestry of human history that persists within these storied walls. Takeaways: The Prince of Wales Inn in Kenfig is a historical site with haunting tales that intrigue visitors. This inn has served multiple purposes throughout its extensive history, including as a mortuary for shipwrecked mariners. Local investigations into the supernatural claims at the Prince of Wales Inn captured eerie sounds and voices on tape. The Black Boy Inn in Carnarvon features various reported phenomena, contributing to its reputation as a haunted location. Both pubs embody different types of hauntings, with the Prince of Wales representing echoes of the past and the Black Boy showcasing active disturbances. The enduring presence of history and memory in these establishments invites deeper exploration of their ghostly legends.

The podcast delves into the profound journey of Jeremy Spillane, who narrates his experiences following the passing of his mother-in-law, Joan, and father-in-law, Roger. This episode emphasizes the remarkable signs and communications that Jeremy and his wife Caroline believe they received from Joan after her sudden death. Within days of her passing, they noticed inexplicable phenomena, such as televisions turning on unexpectedly, which they interpreted as messages from Joan. This initial experience catalyzed Jeremy's exploration into the world of paranormal investigations, leading him to acquire various ghost-hunting equipment, including a K2 meter, an SLS camera, and an Ovilus device. He recounts the emotional encounters they had with these devices, particularly when they were able to capture Roger’s spirit as a stick figure on the SLS camera, thus affirming their belief in the existence of an afterlife. Throughout the discussion, the themes of loss, the quest for understanding, and the interplay between technology and the spiritual realm are intricately woven together, providing listeners with a compelling narrative that challenges the boundaries of conventional belief.

What happens when centuries of history, tragedy, and human emotion collide in the walls of an old pub? In this episode of Haunted Pub Crawl , we travel deep into North Wales to investigate two historic inns with chilling reputations — places where locals, staff, and guests have reported encounters that defy easy explanation. Our first stop is The Star Inn in Ruthin , a 17th-century pub that sits directly opposite the former Ruthin Gaol , a prison that once held and executed criminals. In 1903, a man named William Hughes was hanged there for murder — a documented execution that still echoes through the town’s dark history. But the story took a strange turn when a photograph taken inside the pub appeared to show a swirling ghostly mist forming behind customers at a table . The image quickly made headlines and triggered a paranormal investigation that reported flickering lights, strange equipment readings, and a chilling phrase captured during a spirit-box session. Then we head into the mountains of Snowdonia , to the village of Beddgelert and the historic Goat Inn , a coaching inn that has welcomed travellers for centuries. Guests here have reported a silent figure standing by the fireplace late at night, footsteps pacing the upstairs corridors, and cold spots that seem to move through the building. Are these experiences simply the atmosphere of ancient buildings playing tricks on the mind… or could something from the past still linger in these historic Welsh pubs? Join us as we explore the stories, the history, and the unexplained phenomena surrounding two of North Wales’ most intriguing haunted pubs . Grab a drink, pull up a chair… and step with us into the shadows of the Haunted Pub Crawl .
