What happens when a veteran paranormal investigator with decades in law enforcement and Homeland security starts questioning the official parapsychology story? You get one of the most mind-bending episodes we’ve ever recorded.

Randy Liebeck joins Kristian, Martin & Caroline for a deep dive into hauntings and poltergeists that are way too intelligent, devious, and terrifying to be “just Aunt Edna” or teenage RSPK.

We also catch live scratching attacks as they happened while recording — twice!

The Unearthly Bureau, hosts Caroline McKendrick Gibson, Martin Gibson, and Kristian Lander dive into the symbiotic relationship between local heritage, true crime and the supernatural.

We are joined by two powerhouse guests: Karin Beasant (Paranormal Consultant for Visit Somerset) and acclaimed author Lisa Holman. Together, we explore why hauntings aren't just "scary stories"—they are often the only thing keeping forgotten histories alive.

In this episode, we uncover:

• The Visit Somerset Connection: How paranormal tourism is revitalizing historical landmarks.

• True Crime & The Unexplained: The thin line between a historical tragedy and a modern-day haunting.

• The Researcher’s Burden: How Lisa Holman uses archives to validate (or debunk) oral legends.

• The "Haunted Heritage" Effect: Why some of the UK's most infamous locations rely on their ghosts to preserve their walls.

Whether you're a history buff, a true crime enthusiast, or a paranormal investigator, this episode challenges you to look at "haunted" sites as living museums of our past.
