  • Sylvia Shults - Shy Babies Don't Get Any Sweeties!
    Oct 16 2024

    Welcome to Season 2, Episode 6 of The Paranormal Rundown! We have our first return guest this week, Sylvia Shults has joined us for another round of fun filled Paranormal Dork Talk! Sylvia has written many books in the genres of Paranormal Non-Fiction and both Romantic and Horror Fiction. She is also has a podcast called Lights Out. As a librarian, she has deep knowledge on many paranormal (and other) topics, and is an absolute joy to talk to.


    Due to a slight technical (Vic) problem, and a failure by the backup system (Dave), we lost the first 35-45 minutes of the show. Even so, we still wound up with over two and a half hours of excellent discussion. We touch on a ton of topics this episode, including Ghost Stories, Monsters, Yokai and Yurei, Soviet Werewolves, Military Dogmen, The Cole Hollow Monster, Americas Most Haunted Small Town, Faking Dinosaur Footprints, Statistical Analysis of the Paranormal, the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film, The Enfield Horror (NOT the Poltergeist), Dinosaur Ghosts, Animal Ghosts, Psychic Entanglement, Paranormal Hotspots, Ley Lines, MK Ultra, Poltergeists, Sylvia's experience at 30 East Drive, Boo Bear, Haunted Dolls Talking Bad, Aokigahara, Self Mummified Monks, The Poe Museum, Baldwin's Book Barn and Vic's Amish / Quaker Ghost sighting, Hallucinating Up A Haunt, Grave Deeds and Dead Plots, Jenny Wade House in Gettysburg, Peanut Soup, Fabio the Sasquatch Ghost, Sasquatch Canadian Tribe, and we wrap it up with some UFO stories from Vic. This is a great example of a Rundown episode, I think we may have covered more in this one than just about any other! So get comfortable, your going to be entertained for a good long while.



    Be sure to check out Sylvia's books, podcast, contact information at: https://sylviashults.wordpress.com



    If you have any questions, would like to provide feedback, or would like to send in your own Peanut Soup recipe, please email us at feedback@paranormalrundown.com.
