The ParaReality Podcast is the winner of 3 awards at the inaugural Podcast Excellence Awards!
I have won for Best Paranormal Podcast, Best Podcast Host & Best Podcast Cohost.
I'm very honored to have been nominated and to have received these awards. I wasn't expecting to win anything at all. It's very nice to see all of the hard work that I've put into this podcast finally pay off in some way.
I want to thank the people at the Podcast Excellence Awards for honoring me; my former part-time cohost John Harrison; all of the loyal listeners who faithfully stick with the podcast, and finally, but importantly, my wife for putting up with this side-gig of mine for all of these years. I couldn't have achieved this without each and every one of you.
I'm so humbled and honored. Let's make 2025 a big year for ParaReality!

The Power of Curses
What exactly is a curse? Throughout history, cultures around the world have believed in the power of curses, often describing them as supernatural maledictions meant to bring harm, misfortune, or even death to an individual or group. Unlike simple bad luck, a curse is said to be deliberately placed upon a target, either by a person or a supernatural entity.
Curses are a central theme in folklore, religion, and even modern conspiracy theories. Some believe they are the work of black magic, while others think they could be manifestations of negative energy—like a self-fulfilling prophecy. But regardless of their origin, one thing is clear: curses have left a lasting impression on human history.
Throughout ancient civilizations, curses were often used as warnings. Egyptian tombs, for example, were sometimes inscribed with threats of divine punishment for anyone who dared disturb the resting place of the dead. In medieval times, people feared the evil eye—a form of curse cast through a malevolent glare, believed to bring bad luck or illness.
But curses aren’t just relics of the past. Even today, many people believe in their power, and modern-day witches and practitioners of the occult still engage in cursing rituals. Some even sell their services online, offering to cast curses—or break them—for a fee.
Are curses real? Who has the power to cast them? And perhaps most importantly, if you ever find yourself the victim of one, how can you break free? join me in this informative episode as we unravel the ancient mysteries surrounding curses and their terrifying grip on humanity.
