| 0:35.4 | podcast this is your host John Hagedorn and it's great to have you with us today |
| 0:40.3 | as all of our listeners are aware one of my favorite subjects for stories is the paranormal, |
| 0:45.0 | which involves a wide number of subjects from UFOs to ghost portals, strange places, |
| 0:51.0 | and cryptids like Bigfoot and goat man to unexplained events and unsolved |
| 0:55.1 | mysteries. For arm-chair adventure these subjects are hard to top but there's a |
