Summary
Welcome, to a Dark Minisode.
For today's Dark Minisode, Zane from Colorado shares his unsettling experience as a live-in manager at a remote alpine property near Cortina d’Ampezzo in Northern Italy. Left alone during the 2020 lockdown to maintain the empty hotel, Zane expects isolation, silence, and the usual groans of an ageing building — but what begins with Zane relishing the opportunity, soon escalates into something darkly atmospheric, claustrophobic, and deeply eerie, this account explores what can happen when an old hotel is emptied of the living… and something else is left behind.
Stay safe,
Kevin.

| 0:00.0 | Paranormal experiences don't really work to a time scale, |
| 0:11.5 | and therefore we invite you to listen to a dark minisode. |
| 0:32.9 | Hello everyone and welcome to this week's dark minisode, the penultimate dark minisode of season 24. |
| 0:34.9 | Now I would say this season has gone past exceptionally fast, but that would be an understatement |
| 0:40.7 | because to me it flew by at light speed. Maybe because this season has seen many changes, many |
| 0:48.7 | things removed entirely, many things re-implemented after being moved. And that's what I do love about this show, |
| 0:55.3 | is that we are forever evolving. |
| 0:58.0 | And I think when it stops evolving, |
| 1:00.9 | it's time to call it a day. |
| 1:02.9 | But that won't be any time soon. |
| 1:05.3 | If anything, I think we're maybe only a fifth |
| 1:07.6 | through our actual evolution. |
| 1:10.1 | That's if the last 24 seasons are anything to go by. |
| 1:13.7 | But season 25 is a special season. |
| 1:16.5 | The number 25, of course, it's a quarter of a century, and hence why we're doing something |
| 1:21.7 | major in the introduction of the main show, also becoming a video podcast. |
| 1:28.8 | Now, to make you all aware, |
| 1:34.3 | initially, the show won't be available on Spotify as a video or Apple Podcasts as a video. |
| 1:40.5 | It will be only on YouTube until my hosting provider manages to sort those few niggles out. |
| 1:45.1 | And with that statement made, I should reiterate you do not need to change a thing about how you consume this show. There will be no changes to where you need to find it, |
| 1:49.9 | etc. It's an addition. So if you wish to find the show in video format from season 25 onwards |
| 1:56.5 | for the main episode only, head over to YouTube.com forward slash the dark paranormal. |
