A refrigerator floating in mid-air. A child rising from her chair and being thrown across a room. Furniture moving by itself while police officers watched in disbelief. These aren't scenes from a horror movie—they're documented events from one of America's most extraordinary paranormal cases.

William J. Hall, author and professional magician, takes us deep into the remarkable story of the 1974 Bridgeport Poltergeist on Lindley Street. What sets this haunting apart isn't just the spectacular nature of the phenomena, but the unprecedented number of credible witnesses. Police officers, firefighters, priests, and over 2,000 onlookers all observed impossible events in this small, unassuming cottage—events that made headlines worldwide.

The story centers on the Goodin family and their adopted daughter Marcia, whose presence seemed to trigger increasingly violent paranormal activity. What began as mysterious knocking evolved into full-blown poltergeist phenomena that defied explanation. Most compelling is Hall's access to approximately 40 hours of original witness interviews conducted at the time, preserved by investigator Boyce Beatty. These aren't vague recollections but detailed accounts from multiple observers seeing the same impossible events simultaneously.

As a professional magician with decades of experience detecting deception, Hall brings a uniquely qualified perspective to this investigation. His analysis focuses on specific details that rule out trickery or misperception—the hands-in-lap position when a chair moved, the multiple observers in the room during levitation events, the sheer impossibility of faking a floating refrigerator in a modest home with no special equipment.

Though authorities eventually labeled the case a hoax after a single incident with Marcia, Hall's research reveals this was more about crowd control than truth. The chief of police himself admitted, "We did the best with what we had. We had to get rid of the people." Meanwhile, the unexplained phenomena continued even after the "hoax" announcement.

Fifty years later, this extraordinary case continues to challenge our understanding of reality and what's possible in our physical world. Through meticulous research and firsthand interviews with witnesses, Hall presents not just a ghost story, but a documented case study that asks us to reconsider the boundaries between the known and unknown.

Discover the full, astonishing story in Hall's interview with Stan Mallow on Paranormal Yakker and see for yourself why the Bridgeport Poltergeist remains one of America's most compelling paranormal mysteries.

The name Elvis Presley conjures iconic images—blue suede shoes, swiveling hips, and gold lamé suits. But beneath the glitter and fame lived a profoundly spiritual seeker whose mystical dimensions have remained largely unexplored—until now.

Miguel Conner, author of "The Occult Elvis," reveals in his interview with host Stan Mallow on “Paranormal Yakker” the extraordinary esoteric journey of the King that began with the mysterious circumstances of his birth. As Vernon Presley stepped outside while his wife was in labor, a strange blue light appeared over their modest home, silencing the night. Inside, Elvis's twin brother Jesse was stillborn, while Elvis emerged 35 minutes later—an event that would haunt and inspire him throughout his life.

This twinless survivor syndrome drove Elvis to seek answers to life's biggest questions, creating both his legendary work ethic and his relentless spiritual quest. What most fans don't realize is that Elvis possessed remarkable paranormal abilities. Through eyewitness accounts from those closest to him, we discover a man who could heal with a touch—curing everything from headaches to heart attacks and even cancer. He practiced astral projection from childhood, demonstrated telepathic abilities, and experienced multiple UFO encounters that were witnessed by his entourage.

Far from the conservative Christian image often portrayed, Elvis synthesized his Pentecostal roots with Eastern philosophies, Theosophy, and various mystical traditions. His spiritual teachers included his mother Gladys, his advisor Larry Geller, and even Yogananda's successor Daya Mata. He studied the works of Madame Blavatsky and Manly P. Hall while exploring concepts of ascended masters and cosmic consciousness decades before the New Age movement gained popularity.

What makes these revelations particularly compelling is that they come not from tabloid speculation but from reliable primary sources—the biographies and testimonies of those who knew Elvis best. His Las Vegas jumpsuits with their intentional Egyptian and Aztec symbols, his private Buddhist prayers during performances, and his ability to enter profound meditative states reveal a shamanic dimension to the King that transcended his musical persona.

Decades after his passing, Elvis continues to appear in dreams and visions to countless individuals worldwide, suggesting his spiritual journey continues beyond physical death. Discover the healer, mystic, and cosmic traveler behind the music in this fascinating exploration of Elvis Presley's hidden spiritual life.

George Adamski was the first UFO contactee to come forward with his experiences and the first UFO disclosure activist. UFO researcher and scholar Gerard Aartsen, who has authored several books about the extraterrestrial presence is Stan Mallow’s guest on Paranormal Yakker. In the interview Aartsen takes us on a riveting journey through Adamski's groundbreaking 1955 Detroit lectures, revealing extraterrestrial contact narratives that remain stunningly relevant nearly seven decades later. At those lectures he delivered a profound message about humanity's cosmic heritage and our precarious crossroads between self-destruction and transformation.

Drawing from his meticulous research, Aartsen unveils extraordinary accounts of extraterrestrial meetings with Vatican officials, including a documented encounter where Pope John XXIII met beings from a landed spacecraft at the papal summer residence. "We sometimes have trouble recognizing our brothers," the Pope reportedly confided afterward. "There are human beings all over the universe." This remarkable acknowledgment mirrors precisely what Adamski and other contactees had reported from their own extraterrestrial encounters.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Aartsen connects Adamski to President Eisenhower's alleged 1954 meeting with extraterrestrial representatives at Edwards Air Force Base - a historic encounter where space visitors reportedly offered advanced energy technology in exchange for nuclear disarmament. Why did Adamski possess special government credentials despite being publicly ridiculed? The answer may lie in his possible role as an extraterrestrial emissary during this momentous meeting.

Beyond these historical revelations lies Adamski's core message: humanity stands at the end of an age. Today we witness the culmination of systems based on exploitation and separation rather than cooperation and shared prosperity. As our technological capacity for destruction has grown exponentially, our spiritual wisdom has struggled to keep pace. The choice before us remains essentially the same as it was in 1955 - will we embrace our cosmic citizenship and recognize our fundamental interconnection with all life, or continue down a path of conflict that threatens our very existence?

Gerard Aartsen’s thoughtful analysis offers not just historical context but profound hope. By understanding our place in a larger cosmic community, we may yet navigate this perilous transition toward becoming the planetary civilization our space brothers have long encouraged us to become.

What if the divine power you've been seeking has been within you all along? David Starr and Francesca Rose take us on an extraordinary journey into spiritual consciousness in their profound interview with Stan Mallow on “Paranormal Yakker” when they talk about their book "Your Higher Power: Accessing Your Divine Gifts."

David shares the transformative near-death experience he had at just ten years old that catapulted him into galactic realms, revealing our star connections and the truth that we choose our lives before birth. This cosmic encounter left him with an unshakable spiritual foundation that has guided his work ever since. Meanwhile, Francesca reveals how motherhood awakened her spiritual quest and how witnessing countless clients in the beauty industry criticize themselves fueled her passion for teaching self-love and inner alignment.

Together, they unpack the invisible forces affecting our energy fields and explain how negative thoughts attract lower vibrations while love-based consciousness creates positive transformation. Their practical guidance includes shadow work techniques, energy clearing methods, and heart-centered practices they call "spiritual hygiene" to combat quantum entanglement with others' energy fields. The conversation explores how we can break free from false conditioning and heal childhood wounds.

Extraterrestrials have been visiting Bill Rountree for over 50 years. He has kept it a secret, until now. After decades of silence driven by fear of ridicule and professional consequences, he shares his extraordinary encounters with host Stan Mallow on Paranormal Yakker. Beyond his personal experiences, Rountree explores compelling scientific evidence supporting extraterrestrial life. Perhaps most provocative are his theories connecting alien influence to human spiritual traditions. Drawing parallels between near-death experiences and alien encounters, he suggests major religious figures like Jesus, Mohammed, and Abraham may have been inspired by—or were themselves—extraterrestrial beings guiding humanity's moral development.

Beyond the infamous Salem trials lies a haunting landscape of forgotten witch stories spanning four centuries of Massachusetts history. In this captivating interview with historian and anthropologist Peter Muise on “Paranormal Yakker” we uncover the heartbreaking tales of ordinary people whose lives were destroyed by superstition, fear, and social conflict.

The Puritans who settled Massachusetts in the 1620s brought with them a deep-rooted fear of witchcraft, codified into law by 1641. What's particularly fascinating is how witch accusations followed consistent patterns—targeting those who didn't conform to social expectations or had contentious relationships with neighbors. When misfortune struck a community, these already-marginalized individuals became convenient supernatural scapegoats.

Peter shares the tragic story of Margaret Jones, Massachusetts' first executed witch in 1648, whose only "crime" was being an effective healer. Her simple remedies like "anise seeds steeped in red wine" aroused suspicion rather than appreciation. Even more surprising is the tale of Ann Hibbins, a wealthy merchant's wife, proving that social standing offered no protection against witchcraft accusations when one fell out of political favor.

We explore the evolution of witchcraft beliefs through the stories of Dogtown, a haven for outcasts where women made their living as "witches" selling remedies and fortune-telling services; Elizabeth Knapp, a servant girl who claimed the devil tempted her to murder; and the immortality-seeking alchemist Ephraim Gray whose corpse allegedly went missing. Perhaps most memorable is "Half-Hanged Mary" Webster, who survived a hanging attempt and later inspired her descendant Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale."

These forgotten histories reveal how easily societies can turn against their most vulnerable members when fear overrides reason. What would you have done if your butter wouldn't churn or your bread wouldn't rise in 1690s Massachusetts? Who among your neighbors might you have condemned?
