Summary

Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.

In today’s Season 21 Debut, we hear from “Sarah”, a former marriage counsellor grappling with the fallout of her own divorce. Seeking solitude and a chance to reset, she retreats to a rustic inn in the Vermont mountains with her rescue dog, Bessie. But what begins as a peaceful escape quickly takes a chilling turn as the past reveals itself in ways neither Sarah nor Bessie can ignore. A story of grief, guilt, and eerie echoes from history, we explore what lingers in the places—and people—left behind.

0:00.0	Live from Liverpool, the Dark Paranormal, Season 21 Hello everyone, and welcome back to the debut episode of season 21 of the Dark Paranormal.
0:33.9	Now, our mission here for this season is to make it better than what I believe has been our best season yet in our previous season 20.
0:43.6	Now although that is my opinion over season 20, I'm not just saying that through some sort of bragging or bravado.
0:51.2	I am saying that also through tangible email evidence of people writing in to say
0:56.4	that season 20 upped the game. So we're rarely looking to do that more with season 21 and onwards.
1:04.9	Because the more stories and experiences we receive, the more opportunities we have to pick out those real diamonds to make
1:13.3	sure every episode has the same impact and the same quality of a season debut or finale.
1:20.3	Now, aside from bringing back features like the video format for Dark Realms, we're also
1:26.3	looking at one particular thing, which is both
1:29.1	new and also slightly risky from what we normally do. But I can't wait to share that with you
1:35.9	and see how it lands. And if it doesn't land, it doesn't stay. Because I will reiterate again,
1:43.3	this is your show. So, as always, you know the
1:48.3	format by now, we are a fluid show in terms of how we set up the season. Our season is laid out,
1:55.2	and I believe it's one of our best. But we always have a fluidity within that structure, and I'm very much of the opinion that the right experiences or stories arrive at the right time.
2:08.8	So if you believe you're too late for season 21, you are not.
2:13.2	Also, if you have a story which is shorter and you think I won't bother submitting, please do.
2:19.2	Anything that sends our way, we will find ears to listen to it.
2:23.3	So please either click the link in the show notes,
2:26.1	which will direct you to the form to submit your story,
2:29.5	or go direct to the dark paranormal.com and click on Submit My Experience.
2:36.2	Today's experience comes in from an anonymous listener, but it touches on something that we have discussed occasionally
2:41.3	on the show. That thing being, what impact do our own emotions have on the paranormal things
	...
