The Paranorm Girl

Maxim Furek is a paranormal author with a background in rock journalism and psychology. He has appeared on well known programs like Paranormal 60 with Dave Schrader and Midnight in the Desert with Heather Wade and is also a respected contributor to Fate Magazine, Normal Paranormal and Paranormal Underground. He has researched and written extensively about the 1963 Sheppton Mining Disaster, where 3 miners were trapped 300 feet below the surface following a collapse. Only two of the men would be rescued. They would tell a very strange story about their time in the mine that included encounters with spiritual beings, out of body experiences and a staircase to another world.Today we discuss this case, as well as a few other examples of the weird and highly strange connections and phenomena included in his book, Coal Region Hoodoo. Connect and learn more about my guest:Website: maximfurek.comPublisher Website: https://www.beyondthefraypublishing.com/ To buy his books on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B01B1ZB3QM/allbooks Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@PhantomsMonstersRadio Paranorm Girl Podcast Spooky Story Recording Line: 208.717.1655Support the Show at:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/paranormgirlpodBuyMeACoffee: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/paranormgirlpodFollow the Show @paranormgirlpod on:Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/paranormgirlpod/BlueSky Social: https://bsky.app/profile/paranormgirlpod.bsky.socialInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/paranormgirlpod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@paranormgirlpodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@paranormgirlpodDirect Link to be notified of upcoming Livestream on Beer, Boos & Boogeymen: https://m.youtube.com/@paranormgirlpod/liveNext Airing: TBATheme Music Created, Produced & Played by:Bear Cline Bandcamp: https://bearcline.bandcamp.comWest Finley Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1YthxZbWCWt0yqMFXxxwmc?si=JGbJXY-gR3-Yk6ntv8fJ3wWest Finley “Illusions” on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?x=0x_BFAMfrRsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-paranorm-girl/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ghostlights are seen around the world and have endured throughout history. But what are they? Science offers up a variety of logical explanations. From Swamp Gas to Ball Lightning to Geophysical changes met with electrical discharges. Our world is a pretty strange place and can produce natural effects that are almost as baffling as the ghostlight phenomenon itself. But is that all there is to the story? Is there more than meets the eye when these orbs of light suddenly appear?Today we dissect many of the scientific theories behind them and explore when these theories most certainly apply. And when they most certainly, do not. We take a very deep dive into an example of one of the most well known of America’s ghostlights before shining a light (see what I did there?) on an encounter that I found to be one of the most compelling examples in support of a far more mysterious occurrence taking place. Paranorm Girl Podcast Spooky Story Recording Line: 208.717.1655Support the Show at:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/paranormgirlpodBuyMeACoffee: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/paranormgirlpodFollow the Show @paranormgirlpod on:Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/paranormgirlpod/BlueSky Social: https://bsky.app/profile/paranormgirlpod.bsky.socialInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/paranormgirlpod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@paranormgirlpodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@paranormgirlpodSOURCES: Ball Lightning; Answers with Joe: https://youtu.be/_gOlQCI9Tgg?si=UhiC3sW_YtHUecg9Ball Lightning; Medium: https://medium.com/looking-up/ball-lightning-b594b6ffea37 Will-o’-the-wisp; Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will-o'-the-wispWhat causes will-o’-the-wisps: http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2013/04/what-causes-will-o-the-wisps/The Hookerman Spook Lights of the Flanders Tracks: https://weirdnj.com/stories/unexplained-phenomena/hookerman-spook-lights/Ghost Lights: The Legend of the Hookerman: https://blackriverjournal.wordpress.com/2017/10/01/ghost-lights-the-legend-of-the-hookerman/Spooklight Sites across America: http://inamidst.com/lights/spooklights How Stuff Works Article and Podcast: https://science.howstuffworks.com/science-vs-myth/unexplained-phenomena/are-ghost-lights-apparitions-dead-or-even-aliens.htmGhost Lights: https://www.facebook.com/DidYouSeeThatinNC/posts/vander-light-is-a-lesser-known-ghost-light-of-north-carolina-but-the-legend-is-s/3967272156620447/ Charlotte Observer Article; No Explanation - Burke County’s Mysterious Light Still Baffles Investigators: https://dsoftp.appstate.edu/web/BML/CharObs092413.htmPhotographic Evidence of Luminescence during Faulting in Granite: https://earth-planets-space.springeropen.com/articles/10.5047/eps.2010.02.004Brown Mountain Lights: https://freecharm.com/BML/BML.html L.E.M.U.R.
