Summary

Welcome back, to the Season Finale of The Dark Paranormal.

In today's early access finale, we hear from a listener who never believed in the paranormal—until a corporate wellness retreat in a remote mountain area changed everything. What began as a path to emotional recovery quickly spiralled into a terrifying descent through isolation, obsession, and something far darker. Even after leaving the retreat, the strange events continued—growing more intense and personal. With his grip on reality slipping and the unexplained escalating, he reaches out with one desperate question: what followed him home?

Stay safe,

Kevin.

0:00.0	Live from Liverpool, the Dark Paranormal, Season 20. Hello everyone and welcome to the finale of season 20, a season which in genuine honesty has been my favorite season to date. I think we've
0:41.7	had some of the best experiences we've ever covered. The interaction with you guys has been phenomenal.
0:47.9	You literally make the show. As I've said many times before, this is your show. So therefore, you guys have made this show better.
0:57.6	You guys have made this season, in my mind, the best season yet. I've found a renewed love of both
1:04.6	the paranormal and podcasting, which I didn't even know was waning until this season when I enjoyed this season so much.
1:14.1	So long may that continue on into season 21 and all other seasons which follow.
1:19.7	And let's keep building this, what feels like a close-knit community, although it's in the hundreds of thousands,
1:26.0	of people of like-minded paranormal
1:28.8	enthusiasm. This show, The Dark Paranormal, kind of stands out as an outlier in terms of
1:35.0	successful podcasts. And in today's day and age, where any celebrity is given a topic and therefore
1:42.2	a podcast, just as a way of generating money for a
1:45.8	higher network of some sort, we don't operate like that, nor have we ever. I am not a famous
1:52.3	person, I am a paranormal enthusiast who literally started this as a hobby in order to try and
1:59.2	communicate to people of a similar mindset.
2:02.5	And it's quite unique that someone who isn't on TV, isn't a household name, has managed
2:09.4	due to your support and your ongoing interaction with the show to keep a show that literally
2:16.4	ran by a guy who records in an attic space,
2:20.6	up there with some of the big names of the paranormal podcasting world.
2:24.6	And that's down to you.
2:27.1	So, season 20 has been huge for me in terms of milestones,
2:31.8	and I wanted to take this time at the finale to say the biggest thank
2:36.9	you to each and every one of you for, A, allowing the show to get this far, and B, continuing
