Generation X Paranormal

What makes someone believe in the paranormal? And what happens when unexplained experiences become part of your life long before you ever become a paranormal investigator?

In this deeply personal episode of Generation X Paranormal, Logan and Nicole step away from investigating other people's experiences and share the stories that brought them into the world of the unexplained.

Logan takes us from his grandmother's traditional spiritual practices and his early skepticism to strange encounters, shadow figures, and a life-changing near-death experience following a brain bleed that fundamentally changed how he views consciousness and the paranormal.

Nicole shares experiences that began in childhood, including a frightening presence in an old family home, an unforgettable encounter with something emerging from a bedroom closet, mysterious photographs appearing beneath her car, and a college house where unexplained poltergeist activity left even the skeptics questioning what was happening.

Together, they revisit strange experiences in the homes they've shared, encounters involving deceased family members, unexplained voices, and moments that have stayed with them throughout their lives.

This isn't an episode about paranormal investigations. It's about the personal experiences, unanswered questions, and deeply held beliefs that made us who we are today.

Were we born this way? Did our experiences change us? Or have we simply been noticing something that was always there?

These are the stories that brought us here.

Welcome to Generation X Paranormal.

Where curiosity meets the unexplained — and the paranormal gets personal.

Generation X Paranormal explores haunted locations, UFOs, cryptids, high strangeness, folklore, and the unexplained—one story at a time.

Just three days before Halloween, we're bringing back a terrifying classic! Originally released on October 30, 2023, this special episode of Generation X Paranormal returns on October 28, 2026 — almost three years to the day after its original release!

We're taking a little breather after our recent adventure to Scotland, but we couldn't leave you without something special for Halloween. So, while we recover from our travels, join Logan and Nicole for another ride into the dark world of Irish mythology and Celtic folklore.

Meet The Dullahan, Ireland's legendary headless horseman — a terrifying supernatural figure dressed in black who rides a jet-black steed through the countryside, carrying his own severed head and calling out the names of those whose time has come.

But where did this chilling legend originate? Is the Dullahan simply a figure of ancient Irish folklore, or could there be something more behind the stories?

In this classic episode, we explore the origins of the Dullahan, its connections to the Celtic deity Crom Dubh, and the chilling tales of reported encounters in Ireland. We also examine the relationship between the Dullahan, the Banshee, and the Grim Reaper, along with the Scottish legend of Owen the Headless and the evolution of the Headless Horseman made famous by Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• The origins of the Dullahan in Irish mythology and Celtic folklore

• The headless horseman, his black steed, and his terrifying supernatural abilities

• Crom Dubh and the ancient mythology surrounding death

• Reported Dullahan sightings and chilling Irish legends

• The Dullahan's connections to the Banshee and the Grim Reaper

• Scottish folklore and the legend of Owen the Headless

• The connection between Irish mythology and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

• Could there be a grain of truth behind these ancient supernatural tales?

Whether you're fascinated by Irish folklore, Celtic mythology, paranormal encounters, supernatural legends, or the darker side of Halloween, this is one classic episode worth revisiting.

A QUICK NOTE FROM GXP: After spending time exploring Scotland, we're taking a short breather to recover from our travels and get ready for what's next. Thank you for your patience and for being part of our paranormal family. This is a re-release of our October 30, 2023, episode, brought back just in time for Halloween.

We'll be back next time with an ALL-NEW EPISODE of Generation X Paranormal!

Subscribe, follow, and join Logan and Nicole as we explore hauntings, cryptids, UFOs and UAPs, paranormal experiences, unexplained phenomena, and the mysteries that keep us asking questions.

Generation X Paranormal explores haunted locations, UFOs, cryptids, high strangeness, folklore, and the unexplained—one story at a time.

What if someone could take your sins away after you died?

Not through prayer. Not through confession.

By eating.

In this episode of Generation X Paranormal, Logan and Nicole are joined by Rissa to dive into the strange, unsettling, and surprisingly complicated folklore surrounding the Sin Eater—a person believed to consume food associated with the dead and, in doing so, take on their sins.

The story takes us to the Welsh-English border, where some of the best-known historical accounts of sin eating originated, and then across the Atlantic into the folklore of Appalachia.

But the deeper we dig, the stranger the story becomes.

What did a Sin Eater actually eat? Why were bread, ale, cheese and even salt associated with the ritual? Was the practice connected to fears of the restless dead? And could changing religious beliefs during the Protestant Reformation have helped create a need for someone to take on the sins of the deceased?

We'll also meet Richard Munslow, the man often described as the last known Sin Eater of England, and explore the tragic circumstances surrounding his life and the way his story has been remembered.

Then we follow the Sin Eater into Appalachian folklore and popular culture, where books, television, movies and comics helped transform a murky historical tradition into the mysterious hooded figure many of us recognize today.

From Sleepy Hollow and Night Gallery to The Last Sin Eater, Marvel's Sin-Eater, The Order and Fargo, the legend has continued to evolve.
And there's one question we keep coming back to:

If the Sin Eater carried everyone else's sins… what happened to the Sin Eater when he died?

This is the story of the Sin Eater—a strange piece of death folklore sitting somewhere between history, religion, ritual, grief and the supernatural.

The Haunted Aurora Brothel: Ghosts, EVPs & Dark Secrets of Missouri's 1890s Mining Town

This week on Generation X Paranormal, Logan and Nicole head to Aurora, Missouri, to investigate one of the town's most intriguing historic locations: the Aurora Brothel.

Located near the historic railroad depot in what was once a booming Missouri mining town, this massive 19th-century building has a complicated past involving saloons, gambling, hotels, businesses, and the people who lived and worked in Aurora during its mining boom. Local history says the building was once a brothel, but our research uncovered a much more complicated story.

Before the investigation even begins, Logan experiences a strong impression of a woman dressed in purple. Once inside, the team encounters reports of shadow figures, unexplained voices, strange activity, and a particularly disturbing presence in the basement.

Then things get really interesting.

During the investigation, we capture an EVP that appears to validate something Logan heard directly in his ear. We also receive responses about the building, its occupants, the rooms upstairs, and what one spirit claims happened there.

Our historical research takes us back to the 1890s and the tragic story of Nora Henry, a woman who died after taking an overdose of morphine in a building directly across the street from the Aurora Brothel. Using historic newspapers and Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, we trace the changing history of the buildings surrounding the location and examine what we can—and cannot—actually prove about Aurora's brothel history.

Was this really a brothel?

Who were the people who lived and worked here?

Could the spirits still connected to this building be tied to its 19th-century history?

And what exactly did we capture on our recorders?

Join us for one of our most fascinating investigations yet as we explore the Aurora Brothel in Aurora, Missouri, its dark history, unexplained activity, and the EVPs captured inside this historic building.

This is Generation X Paranormal — where curiosity meets the unexplained, and the paranormal gets personal.

and Philip Cryer of Off Beat by Design to talk about one of the biggest needs in the paranormal community: custom merchandise.

Off Beat by Design specializes in creating custom merchandise for paranormal teams, investigators, podcasters, creators and fans — including T-shirts, hoodies, hats, stickers, window decals, koozies and more.

But this isn't simply a conversation about printing T-shirts.

Amanda and Philip explain how they recognized a problem facing smaller paranormal teams: getting professional merchandise can be difficult when traditional vendors require large minimum orders or offer little opportunity for truly customized designs.

Off Beat by Design was created to help solve that problem.

A large portion of their work consists of custom orders, allowing paranormal teams and creators to develop merchandise that actually represents who they are rather than settling for generic designs.

We talk about their design process, the importance of quality, creating merchandise around a team's identity, and how Off Beat by Design is helping make custom paranormal merchandise more accessible.

They've also developed a unique model that allows individual paranormal teams and creators to have merchandise available to their own audiences while Off Beat by Design handles production and fulfillment.

And Logan and Nicole have firsthand experience with the finished product — the Generation X Paranormal shirts we're wearing during this episode were designed and produced by Amanda and Philip.

We'll also get into the origins of Offbeat Paranormal, their passion for ghosts, cryptids, UFOs and high strangeness, and the community that brought all of these interests together.

If you're looking for custom paranormal merchandise, paranormal team shirts, podcast merchandise, custom T-shirts, stickers, hoodies, hats or branded merchandise for your paranormal business or team, this conversation is for you.
