News sites around the world were rocked earlier this month by the headline '10 Foot Aliens at Miami Mall'. The news first hit social media and spread like wildfire from there, replicating the panic that the witnesses at the scene felt first hand - instantly it became a meme with thousands of videos and pictures both real and fake flooding the internet. But what really happened that day? The police presence at Bayside mall in Miami was certainly real, so what caused the paranormal hysteria? On...

SORRY FOR THE WIND NOISE - but I finally went to Abhartach's grave!
It was cool to see in real life, and pretty fun to visit somewhere - even if I nerded out a bit while I was there... if you liked this let me know and we can make more videos on-location!
P.S. Once I started talking I realised I wish I knew exactly how old the boulders were, so I looked it up - the British Geographical Survey says -

Dracula is one of the most iconic paranormal characters in literature - a devilish and demonic character that wasn't just a vampire, but became the vampire on which all future depictions of vampires would be based. The author Bram Stoker was clear in his diaries, letters, and writings that the book was heavily inspired by real life people. So who, then, was Count Dracula based on? Literary academics have debated this for years but one theory is especially relevant to This Paranormal ...
