Jim Harold is the host with the most ghost on the Paranormal Podcast.com!I first listened to this podcast back in 2007, it now being October 2010, which goes some way to show that he's kept at least one listener happy!
Having been introduced to Fortean research by the magazine Fortean Times in the late 90s I was pleased to discover this broadcast. For those who don't know Charles Fort is the father of "forteana" or unexplained phenomena. He spent many years in the early 1900s researching scientific literature in the New York Public Library and the British Museum Library, marshalled his evidence and set forth his philosophy in The Book of the Damned, New Lands, Lo!, and Wild Talents.
Jim Harold interviews many interesting and varied guests on this show. Some examples include Dr Bob Curran, a personal favourite, who is genuinely knowledgeable about many strange subjects including vampire mythology around the world and tales of the undead. I have also heard Annie Wilder talk about Road Ghost stories and Tom Ogden talking about Hauntings in Hotels. Subjects range from UFOs (which I personally find a more dubious area of discussion), alien big cats such as panthers in the UK and advanced science used by the Nazis.
What I like about Jim's approach is that he has the necessary unbiased approach which is required for the listener to decide for them self. His production values are high with audio crisp and audible unlike a lot of more amateur podcasts.
If you liked the Twilight Zone (if you're as old as me!) and enjoy a little "strange" I would not hesitate to recommend Jim Harold's "Paranormal Podcast" at www.Paranormalpodcast.com" - it is after all free!
Recently Jim has teamed up with an American TV reporter by the name of Clayton Morris and produces a weekly video version of the podcast which is available on Youtube.com for free - again recommended but theses two obviously like UFO reports a lot and much of the content concerns that field.
