When the Paranormal Stares Back with Gabrielle & Jody

Aug 11

We recently went on Paul’s show, Haunted Vermont, to talk about our experience with an antlered shadow entity that we introduced in our episodes The Church and Revisiting The Church.

Paul at Haunted Vermont was one of the first fellow podcasters that we have collaborated with since we started our journey in podcasting. He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to pretty much anything unusual and otherworldly. His ability to recall haunted history and tales of the strange is second to none.

You may remember Paul from our episode, The Weirder Side of Vermont: Vampires, UFOs, and Haunted Graves.

Key Takeaways from the Episode:

Our Team: Gabrielle & Jody are a small team of paranormal investigators from Northeastern Pennsylvania. Our fascination with the unexplained, dark tourism, and pretty much everything in-between brought us together to form Hallowed Ground Paranormal Research and Investigations and Podcast of the Paranormal.
The Encounter with the Antlered Shadow: We tell our story about a large shadow entity with antlers that we encountered at our local spot, The Church. This event marked the beginning of our journey into this podcast and completely shifted our perspective from ghost hunting to, high strangeness, to exploring our minds and the geography of special places.
Locations and History: Paul asks how we pick our locations. Do we want to know the history beforehand or sort of go there and feel it out? Gabrielle likes to know the history for a number of reasons, whereas Jody likes going in blind. We try not to let location and the ghost stories dictate our experiences.
After the Encounter: Following our encounter with the antlered shadow, we still have activity at The Church but nothing like that night. Every once in a while we get references in our Estes sessions seemingly related to the entity but it has not shown itself again. We believe the initial experience was a way to get our attention and influence our perspective. This seemed like an initiatory experience into finding ourselves and our place in this field.
Lights in the Woods: Interestingly, there are mysterious lights in the forest at The Church, which is also very common in relation to UFOs, bigfoot, and other stories of high strangeness.
Geography and Water: We talk about how the land may work as a transmitter, specifically geomagnetic anomalies, bodies of water, and mines(voids underground…think resonance chambers), that may influence experiences. Underground minerals may produce EMF that is working with our physiological structures to create or influence personal experiences. Quartz has electric properties and is prominent in our county and water is often found nearby these hot spots.
Pennsylvania Lore: We start with the story of how Centralia went from quaint small town to abandoned ghost town. Then we introduce Pennsylvania’s mini red-haired bigfoot, the albatwitch, and even dare speak of the cringe-worthy squonk, Pennsylvania’s crying cryptid.
