Believing the Bizarre: Paranormal Podcast

Welcome to another episode of Believing the Bizarre. This week, we are mixing it up! As you know, every couple of weeks we put out an episode that is a Listener Submission - essentially an episode dedicated to a listener's personal paranormal encounter. However, occasionally we receive a submission that is shorter and cannot fill an entire episode. We feel these episodes deserve their time in the limelight, too. So, welcome to the beginning of our Listener Submission Collections! This week, we have three episodes that range from cave-dwelling creatures and UFOs to a ghost investigation gone wrong. But, how #believable are they? Listen now! *Also - you may or may not be finally getting some of Tyler and Charlie’s personal paranormal encounters in this episode… Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/believingthebizarre For updates and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media: https://www.instagram.com/believingthebizarre/ https://www.facebook.com/believingthebizarre/ You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merch here: https://believing-the-bizarre.creator-spring.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
