About this listen

The Paranormal Rundown is a sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, and sometimes astounding exploration of a wide variety of paranormal topics. From ghosts to bigfoot to aliens, we discuss it all! A random algorithm chooses the topic from a huge list we have specially created, and off we go! The hosts of the show are Vic Hermanson, the highly intelligent and creative host of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast; Father Michael Birdsong, a priest and exorcist for the Charismatic Episcopal Church and author of the book Becoming a House of Prayer, and David Griffith, a long time paranormal investigator. For many shows we have a guest join us, bringing extra experiences and stories to the table. Come join us as we take a stroll through the wacky universe in which we live!

  • Ep. 043 - Bert - Paranormal Rundown Group Therapy
    Jun 4 2025

    Welcome to Episode 43 of The Paranormal Rundown! Bert, the David Bowie look-a-like Dutch psychiatrist, is back with us again to discuss all things paranormal and psychological. Bert did his best to keep us on track, but I think he is going to have to schedule us for several more rounds of group therapy. We managed to cover Psychology vs Parapsychology, PSI, Tenhaeff, Nostradamus, Handling Paranormal and Spiritual Experiences in Therapy, Schizophrenia, The Mystery of Life Itself, The Castle of the Soul, The Desert Fathers and the Seven Steps to Habitual Sin, Childhood OCD, The Psychiatry of AI, AI as a Tool for the Neurodivergent, LLMs talking about Mary, Bullebak, and Frank Herbert's Dune. As you can see, we may need to up our dose of ADHD meds, but it certainly makes for an interesting Rundown!


    As mentioned in our last episode, our numbering scheme has changed. However, some knucklehead told Vic the wrong episode number when we started, so you are not going crazy if you noticed that episode 43 is called 42 in all the audio references. I have taken the culprit out behind the woodshed and dealt with the problem, so I promise it won't happen again! Now, if you will excuse me while I go find an ice pack to sit on...



    If you have any suggestions on what episode number we should use next time, please email us at feedback@paranormalrundown.com

  • Ep. 042 - Randy - Pale Crawlers and Paranormal Manifestations
    May 16 2025

    Welcome to Episode 42 of The Paranormal Rundown! Our guest this week is Randy, who has had a great number of experiences and a lifelong interest in the Paranormal. We have some great discussion around The Crawfordsville Monster and other biologic UFOs, his experiences with Astral Projection and a Spider-like Crawler that terrorizes his parent's house, and paranormal experiences he has had in the medical laboratory setting. He also came with a list of questions for Vic about his Yowie experience, from episode 20. Randy is such a paranormal enthusiast that he even wrote us after the show with a few more questions, that we record a response to at the end. There is also a theme that comes up multiple times in Randy's analysis, the idea that paranormal activity is manifested out of some sort of intent, or on demand. We apply this idea to UFOs, Bigfoot, and more. As Vic would say, this is Prime, Grade A Paranormal Rundown! Randy fit right in, and we dig into all kinds of topics and tangents, including Sky Jelly, Chat GPT and Hallucinations, Cracks in the Paranormal Field, Evolution Driven Dimensional Travel, Generational Paranormal Activity, Chromatophores, Oz Effect Silence, Defense Mechanisms of Cryptids, and more. This is a long one, so get a snack, get comfortable, and enjoy the ride!


    The podcast we mention that I met Randy through, is Into The Fray with Shannon Legro. We highly recommend that you listen to his episode, where he goes into much more detail on what he and his family have experienced: https://intothefrayradio.com/Episodes/itf-355-paranormal-breaches-and-glitches/



    You may have noticed that the numbering of our episodes has changed. Going forward we will be referring to episodes as just an continuous, additive number. We will still release in seasons, taking a break in the summer, but for everyone's ease of access, the episode numbers will no longer contain a season. This will also make it easier to link the episodes to the new podcast coming soon, Paranormal Rundown Rabbit Holes.

  • Ep. 041 - Childhood Adventures in an Almost Paranormal Reality
    May 1 2025

    Welcome to Season 2, Episode 20 of The Paranormal Rundown! This episode we have several great topics to explore. First, we discuss The Old Icehouse, and how Vic grew up around several perfect paranormal locations, including Waverly Hills. We also discuss Phantom Social Workers and child trafficking, and Tears in Reality. Along the way we wander through

    Haunted Tourism Causing Paranormal Activity, Paranormal Dogs, Demonic Obsession, The Demonic Long Game, Phantom Social Workers, Child Trafficking, a Glitch in the Matrix, DejaVu DejaVu, Demonic Ladder Injuries, The Car Crash that Wasn't, and the Boy who Became His Brother. This is classic Paranormal Rundown, so buckle up and enjoy the ride!


    We would also like our listeners to keep a look out for our new podcast. Very soon, we will begin publishing Paranormal Rundown Rabbit Holes. This will be a much shorter form version of the Rundown, with 20-30 minute clips from the main podcast. This will be a weekly podcast that has our best, and funniest conversations. Something a little more consumable for those who don't have a couple of hours to listen, and who want a little more focused content. Let us know what you think!


    There are only 4 episodes left of Season 2, so if you would like to be a guest, please contact us today at feedback@paranormalrundown.com

    If you are interested in seeing the movie The Others, that we discussed in the episode, we will post a link to a version we found on our X account: https://x.com/ParanormalRundn

    Follow us, and I promise there will be more activity there in the future!
