Summary

The Bear Demon This listener submission episode starts with Katrina from Alaska, who in December 2019 made the questionable decision to attempt summoning Paimon, one of the nine kings of hell. What followed were months of unsettling experiences—shadowy creatures darting between trees, an overwhelming sense of dread, and two disturbing encounters in the woods that left her disoriented and injured. Next, we hear from David in Wisconsin, who woke at 2:30am to the sound of rustling like a plastic bag in the wind, followed by an overwhelming wave of fear and the mental image of a beast snapping its jaws at him while he lay frozen in bed. Our final and longest story comes from longtime listener Hex, whose Massachusetts home has been a hotbed of paranormal activity since sixth grade. We discuss multiple encounters experienced by Hex and their family, including the mysterious "Farmer" ghost in yellow plaid and overalls who appears in the backyard, unexplained boot stomping that echoes through the house during sleepovers, and perhaps most unsettling—a shadowy figure that appeared behind Hex in a FaceTime call but wasn't visible when they turned around. 🛸 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon. 🛸 ⁠⁠Have a paranormal encounter or story you'd like told on the podcast? ⁠⁠⁠Submit it here.⁠⁠⁠ 🛸 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🛸 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop Merch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merch 🛸 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Want to send BTB something?
