The Conjuring House located at 1677 Round Top Rd, Burrillville, RI is one of the most active paranormal locations in the world, and since opening to the public in 2019, have had thousands of visitors who have witnessed the supernatural activity here. It was originally called the Old Arnold Estate and is now known as the Conjuring House because of the 2013 film, The Conjuring, which depicted the hauntings that the Perron family experienced while living there in the 1970s. Carolyn and Roger Perron, and their five daughters moved in to the home in December 1970 and the paranormal activity started immediately. It started small. A broom would be misplaced or a scraping sound would come from the kitchen when no one was in there. The girls soon began to see spirits around the house, and they claimed that for the most part, they were harmless. The family experienced rampant poltergeist activity, would smell rotting flesh & even would experience their beds rising off of the floor. They would regularly have physical injuries & it was common to hear voices around the house. The Perron family continued to live in the house for 10 years and experience continual paranormal encounters because of their financial instability but eventually decided to sell the house in 1980. The Conjuring House opened to the public in 2019 where visitors can tour the house, go on overnight investigations and can even experience camping or Ghamping, on the property.

The Old Spaghetti Factory in Vancouver, British Columbia is rumored to be the most haunted restaurant in the city. It opened its doors in March of 1970 in a building that has been around since the early 1900s, and is the 2nd oldest building in Vancouver. The Old Spaghetti Factory is known to have vintage décor, as well as an old trolley car, Number 53, that was placed inside around the time of its opening. There are four resident ghosts that are seen in the Old Spaghetti Factory, including the Tram Conductor, who is seen in full uniform inside the tram after hours seated at the same table, and a little boy ghost named Edward has been seen running around the restaurant. A visiting psychic confirmed that there were spirits here, and that the activity stems from the presence of historical artifacts that they are attached to in the building. Several psychics have also suggested that there is a vortex or portal that is found at the back of the restaurant that may attract these ghosts to stick around.

Three former military officials have testified before a House Oversight subcommittee on Wednesday, July 26, 2023 that they believe the government knows much more about UFOs than it is telling the public, but they also focused more on improving processes for reporting UAPs and transparency on the events for the American people. Former Navy fighter pilot Ryan Graves recounted an incident that happened off the coast of Virginia Beach in 2014 while flying an F-18 where they came upon & almost collided with an aircraft that was a "dark gray or black cube inside of a clear sphere". He also founded a group that supports aviators who have reported similar phenomenon & the objects that are reportedly being seen by military & commercial pilots that are performing maneuvers which are unexplainable due to our current understanding of our technology. Retired Cmdr. David Fravor talked about his encounter which was in 2004, where he & 3 others saw a white “Tac Tac”-shaped flying object emerge over the San Diego coast in California. He said, "There were no rotors, no rotor wash, or any visible flight control surfaces like wings." As they tried to get closer to the object, "it rapidly accelerated & disappeared right in front of our aircraft," leaving no detectable turbulence. Retired Major David Grusch spoke about a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval & reverse engineering program that he was exposed to during his time on a UAP task force. Grusch says that he has not personally spotted a UAP or any alien bodies, but his opinions are based on the accounts of over 40 witnesses that he interviewed while he was on the UAP task force. He also said he has interviewed individuals who have recovered "nonhuman biologics" from crashed UAPs. In a statement, Defense Department spokeswoman Sue Gough said investigators have not discovered “any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently.” But Ryan Graves urged Congress and government officials to put aside stigma and address the security and safety issue that this topic represents. Join us on episode 165 to hear more about this Congressional hearing on UAPs and the three former military officials’ experience with them! ### Follow Us: https://www.paranormalpunchers.com https://twitter.com/ppunchers https://instagram.com/paranormalpunchers https://www.facebook.com/paranormalpunchers Support the Show: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/paranormal-punchers https://www.patreon.com/paranormalpunchers

Abraham “Avi” Loeb, dubbed the alien hunter of Harvard, is an honored Israeli-American theoretical physicist who works on astrophysics and cosmology and is a professor at Harvard. In 2018, he suggested that alien space craft may be in the Solar System and used the interstellar object Oumuamua as an example, and in July 2021, Avi founded The Galileo Project for the Systematic Scientific Search for Evidence of Extraterrestrial Technological Artifacts. In January 2014, a 500-kilogram fireball was observed by the DOD where it was recorded as traveling faster than most meteors and ended up breaking up over the South Pacific Ocean near Papua New Guinea. Avi's team set out on a research boat called the Silver Star in late June 2023 looking for possible debris , & used a magnetic sled to excavate this debris from the ocean floor where the meteor hit. They found 50 tiny metallic balls called spherules that were made mostly of iron, and each is a fraction of a millimeter in size. He concluded that these metal pieces did not originate from Earth, and did not match any samples of the element found on Earth, leading him to speculate that this piece might be from outer space. On the second half we discussed some of our favorite action disaster movies involving either a meteor or aliens crashing on earth, including Deep Impact, Armageddon, Battleship and Slither. Join us on episode 164 to hear more about Avi Loeb and his discovery of interstellar alien spherules in the South Pacific Ocean!

Just before midnight on April 30, 2023, people across several states, some even as far as California, saw a bright fireball streak through the sky. Body-cam footage from a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officer caught a glimpse of this, but a Las Vegas family witnessed something much more terrifying. A father and his 2 sons were working on a vehicle in their yard when they saw the sparkly object. As it came crashing down, they were hit by what they described as a shock wave. That is when they saw a tall creature in their backyard, which appeared to be 8-10 feet tall, had large eyes, was skinny with long legs & was greyish-green in color. They were terrified by what they saw and called 911. Approximately 39 minutes after the 1st call, another resident called 911 saying that there were 2 unknown entities in his backyard after he saw an object fall from the sky. The caller described what he was seeing, detailing that they had big, shiny neon eyes & mouths & were naked. They were “100% not human.” After investigating the homes, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department decided to close the case due to no physical evidence and called it unfounded. On the second half, we reviewed the 1996 film Independence Day, directed byRoland Emmerich and starring an ensemble cast including Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Mary McDonnell & Vivica A. Fox. It is about groups of people who converge in the Nevada dessert in the aftermath of a worldwide attack by a powerful alien race. With the rest of the world, they launch a counterattack on July 4 in the United States.

The Tsuchinoko is a snake-like cryptid that is seen in the mountainous regions of Western Japan, & appears to look like your common snake, although with a central girth that is wider than its head & tail & appears to look like a hammer or mallet without a handle. It has large, plate-like scales that run down its earth-tone speckled body, & because of their color & shape, they are often said to resemble beer bottles. Despite having an awkward shape, the Tsuchinoko is very nimble. It is said that it can jump up to a meter in distance followed immediately by a 2nd jump while it is still in the air & by some estimates, can jump up to 5 meters. It is also reported to sometimes swallow its tail & roll like a wheel, which is similar to the hoop snake. According to legend, some Tsuchinoko are able to speak & are notorious liars, & are said to have a taste for alcohol or sake.

The Stanley Hotel, located at 333 Wonderview Avenue Estes Park, CO served as the inspiration for Stephen King’s 1977 novel The Shining and is considered to be one of the most haunted hotels in the U.S. It is a 140-room Colonial Revival hotel located about 5 miles from the Rocky Mountain National Park, and was built by Freelan Oscar Stanley, the inventor of the steam-powered car. It opened July 4, 1909 as a resort for upper class Easteners and a health resort for Tuberculosis sufferers. The Stanley Hotel has had a rather peaceful history, but in the years following the publication of The Shining, it has gained a reputation as a setting for paranormal activity. Freelance Stanley is said to wander the halls of the hotel and his wife, Flora has been seen and heard in the ballroom at the piano playing away. The fourth floor is said to be one of the most haunted areas in the hotel as well as room 217 where guests find that the room has been straightened up, their clothing folded or put away, or their suitcases organized. On the second half, we reviewed the 1980 film The Shining, directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, and Danny Lloyd. It is about a family that heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where a sinister presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from both past and future.

Not sure of the exact beginnings, but stories of Norwegian Trolls can be found in the first written sources, the sagas, from the Middle Ages, but they were in oral traditions and people’s imaginations long before that time. The term “troll” actually comes from the Proto-Germanic word “Trullan” which translates to mean fiend, demon, or giant. So some were described as giants, terrorizing entire villages, and others were considered to be small, evil tricksters. In general, most trolls were considered to be cruel, violent, unattractive creatures, with huge noses, big teeth, and grotesque features and were thought to be quite stupid and easily tricked. While, there is no single agreement as to what trolls may have looked like, most Norwegians agree that there are basically 2 types of trolls, the Trogre and the Troblins. The trolls of the mountains or forest, the Tragre, are generally depicted as large, dumb, and brute-ish and are said to use connections with nature to uproot trees to use as weapons, or to cause ecological disasters such as hurricanes and avalanches. The trolls of the caves, the Troblins, live completely underground & are generally depicted as smaller, with a large round stomach and short, stubby arms and legs. They tend to use their connections with nature to baffle or deceive humans. On the second half, we reviewed the 2022 film Troll, directed by Roar Uthaug. It is about a troll that is released after being trapped for a 1000 years and destroys everything in its path while it approaches the capital of Norway.
