I used to listen to Paranormal Podcast and Campfire by Jim Harold, but the quality has gone down since he started putting out an episode every week.
I've listened to Paracast a few times, but I really don't like the host's style because he's always interrupting the guests and sometimes he really talks down to them. Plus there's a commercial every 5 minutes or so.
Lately I've been listening to some Binall of America archives lately. I like them a lot, but they're mostly about ufos and I need some other subjects as well.
Mysterious Universe is a good one usually. But their files are always huge and I'm on a slow connection.
Got any suggestions?
I find Dr persingers work very intresting and also learning about the effects EMF and infrasound

Neuroscience Researcher and Laurentian University professor, Dr. Michael Persinger, demonstrates telepathy under laboratory conditions.
god2Claims of telepathy, ESP and other psi phenomena are a mainstay of popular culture but taboo in neuroscience research circles. Fortunately, Dr. Michael Persinger of Canada’s Laurentian University has never been afraid to venture where other researchers fear to go. In the 1980’s Persinger made headlines with his “God Helmet”, a device that stimulates temporal lobes with a weak magnetic field in order to produce religious states.
Now, Persinger has discovered the same type of brain stimulation can create metal states conducive to human telepathy. “What we have found is that if you place two different people at a distance and put a circular magnetic field around both, and you make sure they are connected to the same computer so they get the same stimulation, then if you flash a light in one person’s eye the person in the other room receiving just the magnetic field will show changes in their brain as if they saw the flash of light. We think that’s tremendous because it may be the first macro demonstration of a quantum connection, or so-called quantum entanglement. If true, then there’s another way of potential communication that may have physical applications, for example, in space travel.”

Stag & Hounds EMF effects
Niel reports weird sensations from a specific area of the bar. Mark & Ary investigate and Ary feels the same as Niel, without knowing he had reported this. Mark feels nothing. As Ary & Niel believe they may be sensitives, does this mean that people with such abilities are more susceptible to EMF?

Infrasound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sources
Infrasound sometimes results naturally from severe weather, surf,[5] lee waves, avalanches, earthquakes, volcanoes, bolides,[6] waterfalls, calving of icebergs, aurorae, lightning and upper-atmospheric lightning.[7] Nonlinear ocean wave interactions in ocean storms produce pervasive infrasound vibrations around 0.2 Hz, known as microbaroms.[8] Infrasound can also be generated by man-made processes such as sonic booms and explosions (both chemical and nuclear), by machinery such as diesel engines and older designs of down tower wind turbines and by specially designed mechanical transducers (industrial vibration tables) and large-scale subwoofer loudspeakers.[9] The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization uses infrasound as one of its monitoring technologies (along with seismic, hydroacoustic, and atmospheric radionuclide monitoring).
Whales, elephants, hippopotamuses, rhinoceros, giraffes, okapi, and alligators are known to use infrasound to communicate over distances—up to hundreds of miles in the case of whales. It has also been suggested that migrating birds use naturally generated infrasound, from sources such as turbulent airflow over mountain ranges, as a navigational aid.[10] Elephants, in particular, produce infrasound waves that travel through solid ground and are sensed by other herds using their feet, although they may be separated by hundreds of kilometres.
[edit] Animal reactions to infrasound
Animals have been known to perceive the infrasonic waves going through the earth by natural disasters and can use these as an early warning. A recent example of this is the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. Animals were reported to flee the area long before the actual tsunami hit the shores of Asia.[11] It is not known for sure if this is the exact reason, as some have suggested that it was the influence of electromagnetic waves, and not of infrasonic waves, that prompted these animals to flee.[12]
Infrasound may also be used for long-distance communication in African elephants.[13] These calls range from 15–35 Hz and can be as loud as 117 dB, allowing communication for many kilometres, with a possible maximum range of around 10 km (6 mi).[14] These calls may be used to coordinate the movement of herds and allow male elephants to find mates.
[edit] Human reactions to infrasound
Twenty Hz is considered the normal low frequency limit of human hearing. When pure sine waves are reproduced under ideal conditions and at very high volume, a human listener will be able to identify tones as low as 12 Hz.[15] Below 10 Hz it is possible to perceive the single cycles of the sound, along with a sensation of pressure at the eardrums.
The dynamic range of the auditory system decreases with decreasing frequency. This compression can be seen in the equal-loudness-level contours, and it implies that a slight increase in level can change the perceived loudness from barely audible to loud. Combined with the natural spread in thresholds within a population, it may have the effect that a very low frequency sound which is inaudible to some people may be loud to others.
Infrasound has been known to cause feelings of awe or fear in humans. Since it is not consciously perceived, it can make people feel vaguely that supernatural events are taking place.[16]
Some film soundtracks make use of infrasound to produce unease or disorientation in the audience. Irréversible is one such movie,[citation needed] as is Paranormal Activity.
The infrasound and low-frequency noise produced by some wind turbines is believed to cause certain breathing and digestive problems in humans and other animals close to the turbines.[17]
[edit] Infrasonic 17 Hz tone experiment
On May 31, 2003, a team of UK researchers held a mass experiment where they exposed some 700 people to music laced with soft 17 Hz sine waves played at a level described as "near the edge of hearing", produced by an extra-long-stroke subwoofer mounted two-thirds of the way from the end of a seven-meter-long plastic sewer pipe. The experimental concert (entitled Infrasonic) took place in the Purcell Room over the course of two performances, each consisting of four musical pieces. Two of the pieces in each concert had 17 Hz tones played underneath. In the second concert, the pieces that were to carry a 17 Hz undertone were swapped so that test results would not focus on any specific musical piece. The participants were not told which pieces included the low-level 17 Hz near-infrasonic tone. The presence of the tone resulted in a significant number (22%) of respondents reporting anxiety, uneasiness, extreme sorrow, nervous feelings of revulsion or fear, chills down the spine and feelings of pressure on the chest.[18][19] In presenting the evidence to British Association for the Advancement of Science, Professor Richard Wiseman said, "These results suggest that low frequency sound can cause people to have unusual experiences even though they cannot consciously detect infrasound. Some scientists have suggested that this level of sound may be present at some allegedly haunted sites and so cause people to have odd sensations that they attribute to a ghost—our findings support these ideas."[16]
[edit] The Ghost in the Machine
Research by Vic Tandy, a lecturer at Coventry University, suggested that an infrasonic signal of 19 Hz might be responsible for some ghost sightings. Tandy was working late one night alone in a supposedly haunted laboratory at Warwick, when he felt very anxious and could detect a grey blob out of the corner of his eye. When Tandy turned to face the grey blob, there was nothing.
The following day, Tandy was working on his fencing foil, with the handle held in a vise. Although there was nothing touching it, the blade started to vibrate wildly. Further investigation led Tandy to discover that the extractor fan in the lab was emitting a frequency of 18.98 Hz, very close to the resonant frequency of the eye given as 18 Hz by NASA.[20] This was why Tandy had seen a ghostly figure—it was an optical illusion caused by his eyeballs resonating. The room was exactly half a wavelength in length, and the desk was in the centre, thus causing a standing wave which was detected by the foil.[21]
Tandy investigated this phenomenon further and wrote a paper entitled The Ghost in the Machine.[22] Tandy carried out a number of investigations at various sites believed to be haunted, including the basement of the Tourist Information Bureau next to Coventry Cathedral[23][24] and Edinburgh Castle.[25][26]
Thanks deca, those look interesting. I'll check them out.
also this guy good as well , I think if you are looking at paranormal experiences you have to have some understanding the root of human experience the mind....

Coast to Coast would be my #1 recommendation :).
I'm bringing this up again to see if anyone has anything new.
I'd really like another ghost story type of podcast. Jim Harold's Campfire would be great if it wasn't for...well...Jim Harold. He seems like a nice enough guy but he's a little stuck on himself. He has to make Merv Griffin noises every few seconds while somebody's trying to tell a story and once he whined for what seemed like an hour (exaggeration, but he did go on forever) because somebody said he spends too much time pimping his sponsors.
I did find another podcast where people send in their stories and the guy reads them. It's really good, but I want to hear the people tell the stories themselves. If I can manage to remember the name of it I'll post it. :)
What have you guys been listening to? Besides CtoC and BoA. Those are my regulars.

Anything Ghost (http://anythingghost.libsyn.com/) is a good podcast. It's "real" ghost stories sent in by listeners & read by the host.
again this might not be what you looking for but its still worth looking at so you stay balanced and don`t fall for some garbage that is presented to you as paranormal activity ...
I do believe there is real so called "paranormal" phenomena but can be explained better than be the use of "supernatural" explanations

Since the dawn of civilization humans have been fascinated by phenomena which appear to lie outside the scope of science. Our history is peppered with accounts of psychics predicting the future, mediums conversing with the dead, and aliens in UFO's abducting earthlings. Today the likes of Deepak Chopra confuse people with their quantum psychobabble and there is widespread belief that the moon and planets influence our behavior, that "psychic surgeons" can remove tumors without making incisions and that Uri Geller bends spoons with the power of his mind. .Do these effects really lie outside the scope of modern day science? This lecture examines paranormal phenomena and describes how many of the effects can be explained by perfectly "natural" means. The presentation is highlighted by a number of "demonstrations" aimed at increasing the awareness of the need to evaluate "paranormal" phenomena by critical scientific methods.
