Summary
Welcome to our Pre=season episode,
For our Pres-season episode, Jacqui shares a lifetime of unsettling encounters that span multiple homes, generations, and deeply personal moments. From a childhood house steeped in death and tragedy, to recurring sleep paralysis, shadowy figures, unseen presences, and experiences involving her children that defy easy explanation, this story unfolds as a slow, creeping accumulation of fear rather than a single event. Told with honesty, reflection, and lingering unease, Jacqui’s account explores how the paranormal can weave itself quietly into everyday family life.
Stay safe,
Kevin.

| 0:00.0 | Live from Liverpool, the Dark Parano. |
| 0:17.0 | Hello. Hello everyone and welcome to your usual pre-season episode before the start of season 23. |
| 0:33.1 | And as we say hello to you, we say goodbye to that intro. |
| 0:40.4 | Because one of the many changes that are taking place is indeed the intro music. |
| 0:47.3 | But there will be other changes too, as you will see as season 23 gets underway. |
| 0:55.0 | Now I've seen a few concerned comments that when I mention these changes, the show may not be what it is. |
| 1:03.3 | But I can guarantee you, at its core, the show is exactly the same. |
| 1:09.1 | It's basically getting a lick of paint and a new engine. |
| 1:12.9 | But it remains the same. |
| 1:14.9 | And as other, if you disagree with any of the changes or you have your own opinions on them, |
| 1:20.9 | you can let us know. |
| 1:22.4 | And as I think you've understood by now, we will do, if enough people say so, |
| 1:29.4 | any changes that you wish. Because this, we will do, if enough people say so, any changes that you wish, |
| 1:36.9 | because this is and will always be your show. And of course, next week on the 23rd, when we launch, |
| 1:47.2 | is when, especially in the UK, all of the stores do their big January sales push. So now is the perfect time to try a free week trial of our Patreon. Just head to the show notes and you can try it right up to our highest tier |
| 1:52.5 | where you can gain access to our full back catalogue of Darkbytes for a full week |
| 1:58.4 | and early access to things like the debut of season 23. |
| 2:04.1 | And the second biggest perk for me anyway is the lack of adverts, |
| 2:09.2 | especially this time of year, January sales. |
| 2:13.0 | And of course, the biggest perk for me is the community. |
| 2:17.5 | It's a like-minded group of individuals all interested in the paranormal, whether they be |
