Welcome back to Para(normal). First up on this week’s episode is the true story of Nellie Bly — the 23-year-old journalist who asked Joseph Pulitzer to send her somewhere dangerous… and ended up going undercover inside the Blackwell’s Island Insane Asylum. We walk through what she witnessed: brutal conditions, forced ice-cold baths, starvation-level food, and the chilling realization that many women inside weren’t “insane” at all. Her exposé, Ten Days in a Madhouse, didn’t just shock readers, it helped force public scrutiny and reform, and leaves behind one haunting question: what kind of treatment creates madness instead of curing it?

Then we pivot to a modern haunting that feels like it crawled out of a nightmare: The Screaming House of Union, Missouri. A single father rents a duplex at 809 N. Christina Avenue, and what starts as small disturbances turns into a house that breathes, stinks, marks walls, and screams, with reports of shadow figures, claw marks, EVPs, and a presence that may have followed the family after they fled.

Got a story you want us to cover (or one you’re brave enough to share)? Email us: paranormalpod@gmail.com — and, as always… stay spooky. 👻

VENUS

On this episode of Para(normal), Nicolina begins with the story of “This House Murdered Me” – the story of April Miller and her family, who move into a Victorian home in Salt Lake City’s Avenues district. A too-cheap house, a boy’s “imaginary friend” named Benjamin, and a family tragedy that refuses to stay buried.

Then Marie dives into the true horror of MKUltra, the CIA’s real-life mind control program. From the 1950s onward, unwitting subjects were dosed with LSD, locked in sensory deprivation, hypnotized, and subjected to brutal “treatments” in the name of national security.

The episode closes with a chaotic round of F/M/K because after haunted houses and government mind control, why not?

If you like your paranormal with a side of dark history, conspiracy receipts, and unfiltered banter, this one’s for you.
