Paranormal Declassified: The SPIRIT Files

Whispers from the Deep: Ocean Spirits and Lost Souls

Recording from Royal Caribbean’s Vision of the Seas, Eric Extreme peels back the salt-streaked veil between life and the ocean. As he and his wife cut across the Caribbean, stories unfurl, Polynesian navigators whose ancestors ride the swells, Japanese Funayūrei rising from misty shores, West African sea judges, and Caribbean duppies tugging at the currents, all threaded into a single, living tide of belief.
Through hushes on a ship’s hull, offerings left at shorelines, and ancient wayfinding lore, this episode follows the whispers that haunt coasts around the world. Each tale is a small lantern in the dark: sometimes warning, sometimes comfort, always a reminder that the sea keeps memory in its motion.
Join Eric as he listens for the faintest signals and steers us through folklore, ritual, and the personal moments when the ocean feels alive. Will we find evidence or only echoes?

Echoes of the Gallows: Uncovering the Witch Trials’ True Legacy

The air is full of whispers, courtrooms grow silent, trial ledgers crackle with ink-stained confessions, and a voice named Eric Extreme steps into the ruins to listen. In this episode, we trace the shadowy currents that turned rumor into verdict, following the fragile threads of evidence buried in archives and the haunted hush that clings to old stones.
We move from sermons and small-town grudges to the raw human stories behind every entry in the books: neighbors who accused neighbors, families torn apart, and lives erased by fear. This is not a catalog of spells but a concerning narrative that asks how belief and power braided together to make the unseen lethal.
Join Eric on Paranormal Declassified: The SPIRIT Files. As history and haunting converge, and the past’s softest murmurs become a warning for our present. Listen closely; the echoes demand we balance curiosity with compassion and evidence with empathy.

Join me as I seek answers in the shadows, explore the whispers that echo in the void, and listen for the faint signals that shape our sense of the supernatural. This is Paranormal Declassified, The Spirit Files, from Mount Washington Valley Spirit Paranormal Investigators. Follow the flicker and decide where mystery ends and science begins.

From Twilight Zone to Ghost Hunters: How Paranormal TV Learned to Speak to the Unknown

By episode’s end, you’ll hear how skepticism and storytelling can coexist, why the genre keeps evolving, and what responsible viewing looks like. Join Paranormal Declassified with Eric Extreme as we peel back the veil and listen for what the darkness is actually saying.

The Science of Spooky Coincidences: When Coincidence Feels Like a Sign From a Spirit

In this episode of the Mount Washington Valley SPIRIT's Paranormal Declassified: The SPIRIT Files, host Eric Extreme explores synchronicity, where the experience of meaningful coincidences is often interpreted as paranormal signs, and gives examples such as sudden cold spots, recurring numbers, and items appearing unexpectedly.
The episode explains why these overlaps feel significant: the brain's pattern-seeking (pareidolia, frequency illusion), memory and attention biases, environmental factors that can create apparent signals, and how group dynamics can amplify perceived connections. Multiple case studies illustrate how ordinary explanations often underlie striking events.
Listeners are given practical guidance for investigators: examine the source of perceived connections, consider the likelihood of chance, account for cognitive biases, and respond with empathy while maintaining scientific methodology.

Science Before Spooky: Reclaiming Integrity in Paranormal Investigation

In this episode of the Mount Washington Valley Spirit Podcast, the host outlines the four biggest threats to the paranormal field: lack of scientific self-education (ghost hunting masquerading as investigation), pareidolia (matrixing), observer expectancy/confirmation bias, and the Semmelweis reflex (rejecting contradicting evidence).
The episode explains how these issues damage the field's credibility, encourages investigators to prioritize scientific methods and education, and calls for integrity over sensationalism and social-media-driven notoriety.

Ego, Equipment, and Expectancy Bias: The Ghost Hunter's Kryptonite

As always I will preface this episode with the statement that I am not taking shots at anybody in the field. I am pointing out opportunities for improvement in the field. The purpose of my podcast is to help educate those ghost hunters who wish to eventually become a paranormal investigator, or help paranormal investigators refresh and sharpen their skill set. Today I will discuss twelve mistakes commonly made by ghost hunters and how to prevent them. These are not in any particular order.

As a paranormal investigator, Eric Extreme has decades of experience. He explores the history of the paranormal from around the world. He also discusses the scientific study of perceived paranormal phenomena. His approach is to identify natural causes first before considering any paranormal explanations.
With years of research and fieldwork behind him, he offers insights into how the world views the paranormal and how these phenomena can be studied objectively, based on evidence. The goal is to help listeners understand how to approach paranormal investigations focused on science, distinguishing between what can be explained and what cannot. As he always says, "Science comes before the spooky."
