About this listen

The Paranormal Rundown is a sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, and sometimes astounding exploration of a wide variety of paranormal topics. From ghosts to bigfoot to aliens, we discuss it all! A random algorithm chooses the topic from a huge list we have specially created, and off we go! The hosts of the show are Vic Hermanson, the highly intelligent and creative host of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast; Father Michael Birdsong, a priest and exorcist for the Charismatic Episcopal Church and author of the book Becoming a House of Prayer, and David Griffith, a long time paranormal investigator. For many shows we have a guest join us, bringing extra experiences and stories to the table. Come join us as we take a stroll through the wacky universe in which we live!

  • Ep. 045 - Meanwhile, Back at The Paranormal Rundown...
    Jul 8 2025

    Welcome to Episode 45 of The Paranormal Rundown! This is the final episode of Season 2, which we wrap up with just the Gang of Nerds. We have some pretty interesting discussion around the life of an Exorcist, Fr. Mike and David strike up a debate on Nephilim and the Demonic, we take a wide detour on the food and critters in the South, and eventually get to different ideas around Bigfoot Attacks. Along the way we touch on Insults to Exorcists, Preparing for Your First Exorcism, Exorcism Ministry Impact on the Priest, Charging for Exorcism, Disembodied Demonic Nephilim (DDNs), What ARE Demons, Feral Hogs, Pigs Feet and Chitlins, Bigfoot Food Sources, Okefenokee Swamp Bigfoot Attack, Nephilim to Giants to Bigfoot, Dead Bigfoot Removal Team, Invisible Bigfoot, Nephilim Caveman Theory. As you can see, this season ends with rabbit holes abound!


    We will be taking a break for a month or two (probably two), but we will be back in no time with Season 3.

  • Ep. 044 - Jeff - AI, the New Spiritual Mirror of Consciousness
    Jun 18 2025

    Welcome to Episode 44 of The Paranormal Rundown! In this episode we have Jeff join us from Falling Knife Films. Jeff has an extensive background in paranormal investigation and research, including multiple investigations with David. He also has a very creative side, now with a focus on AI generated video. Additionally, Jeff has had some fascinating results using AI as a psychic! Later in the episode we discuss our plans to validate some of this activity, with The Great Psychic Chat GPT Experiment, and how it might actually be possible. We dig deep into AI, Consciousness, Technology, and Science, with side roads that include The Carrington Event, Red Mercury, the Star Wars Program, Autonomous AI, AGI, Wilder Penfield, Quantum Tubules, Tokens in Tokens out, Spirit Manipulation of Technology, Electro-Neuro-Magnetic Pulse, AI Training, GPTs demonic voice, the Turing Test, Doctor GPT, GPT Analyzes Fabio, Bobby Mackey's, Energy Effects on Paranormal Activity, and Beginner's Luck. Oh, and Jeff shares with us an extremely unique (and perhaps a little disturbing) EVP of Chickens. So fire up your favorite AI research assistant, and prepare to step into a future where technology and the paranormal collide!

  • Ep. 043 - Bert - Paranormal Rundown Group Therapy
    Jun 4 2025

    Welcome to Episode 43 of The Paranormal Rundown! Bert, the David Bowie look-a-like Dutch psychiatrist, is back with us again to discuss all things paranormal and psychological. Bert did his best to keep us on track, but I think he is going to have to schedule us for several more rounds of group therapy. We managed to cover Psychology vs Parapsychology, PSI, Tenhaeff, Nostradamus, Handling Paranormal and Spiritual Experiences in Therapy, Schizophrenia, The Mystery of Life Itself, The Castle of the Soul, The Desert Fathers and the Seven Steps to Habitual Sin, Childhood OCD, The Psychiatry of AI, AI as a Tool for the Neurodivergent, LLMs talking about Mary, Bullebak, and Frank Herbert's Dune. As you can see, we may need to up our dose of ADHD meds, but it certainly makes for an interesting Rundown!


    As mentioned in our last episode, our numbering scheme has changed. However, some knucklehead told Vic the wrong episode number when we started, so you are not going crazy if you noticed that episode 43 is called 42 in all the audio references. I have taken the culprit out behind the woodshed and dealt with the problem, so I promise it won't happen again! Now, if you will excuse me while I go find an ice pack to sit on...



    If you have any suggestions on what episode number we should use next time, please email us at feedback@paranormalrundown.com
