Goblin Kwain – Details, episodes & analysis

Tonight we’ll be continuing my series on “deconstructing a haunted house”, where I go room to room in a house reading experiences that take place there. Tonight, we’ll be going down to the basement…. perhaps the creepiest room in the house, but is it the most haunted?

I read first-hand experiences of odd and unsettling encounters, such as small humanoids that run along the baseboards and hide under sinks, crashed flying saucers, a staircase that mysteriously appears one day and one day only, and more. In between stories I’ll provide my thoughts and commentary, muse on the character of the basement in dream symbolism, media, and the collective unconscious, and consider where this rooms fits in terms of being the “most haunted” room in the house.

Tonight I’ll be going through several stories posted on the website Your Ghost Stories (https://www.yourghoststories.com/). These first-hand experiences describe encounters with gnomes, duendes, fairies, and a very strange looking humanoid with large cat-eyes and blue skin. In between stories I will provide some of my thoughts observations, and read some interesting comments left on the forum for each account.

Tonight I will be reading a handful of stories from the website Your Ghost Stories (https://www.yourghoststories.com/), a forum where people post their first-hand paranormal experiences. These tales involve black dogs, scissor-legged shadow beings, red-eyed cloaked figures, trees with faces, and more… In between stories I provide a bit of my thoughts, read interesting comments, and tie in any folklore I find relevant.

Have you ever seen something strange in your room at night when you are waiting to fall asleep? Many people have, and the experiences are quite varied, from abstract shapes to bizarre dismembered apparitions. Whether these are ghosts, fairies, aliens, or just hypnagogic hallucinations is up for debate, but the fact remains that they are fascinating and they are common, particularly in childhood.

So, tonight I’ll be reading a large batch of stories regarding odd and possibly paranormal experiences witnessed by children in their bedrooms. Sources include the Fairy Census, Your Ghost Stories, Reddit, and more…

Many people are familiar with the fairies of Irish folklore, but a similar sort of being is also described in many cultures across the world (if not all of them), bearing similarities in appearance, behavior, and legends, but called by different names.

Tonight we will examine what could be considered fairies or elves in a variety of cultures, such as Malay, Native American, Mexican, Filipino, and more. These will be explored through a mixture of first-hand experiences pulled from forums and surveys, and folklore referenced from books, articles, and web sources.

Even with similarities abound, the human experience ceaselessly proves to be vastly varied, and ever-so fascinating.

Tonight’s topic is gnomes! I’m going to be reading first-hand encounters with gnomes from the Fairy Census, Phantoms & Monsters, and Castle of Spirits. In between stories I will be discussing the folkloric history and variety of gnomes, and the diversity of these encounters may leave us questioning what actually “defines” a gnome.

Tonight I’ll be reading stories from Liminal Earth (https://liminal.earth/), a website where people post their first-hand accounts of strange experiences, such as ghost or UFO experiences, time slips, bigfoot sightings, and more.

In addition to sharing their stories, the poster also tags the location of the experience on a map, so in addition to reading the accounts, I also dig into the area of each story and see what else we can find as far as hauntings, urban legends, and local lore go.

Please enjoy these 5 stories of creature sightings, voice mimics, and vanishing diners–with some urban legends and commentary in-between!

Tonight I will be sharing some of my personal paranormal experiences. These all took place in my childhood home between the ages of 6 or 7 (when I start recalling memories) to the age of 13. These include disembodied voices, footsteps, a ouija board experience, and a full bodied apparition.
