Para Normal Podcast
Hosted by Para Normal
A Filipino podcast where host Nick interviews guests about their first-hand encounters with ghosts, ghouls, and supernatural folklore.
This is a long-form interview show centered on personal paranormal experiences, with a distinct focus on Filipino folklore. The host, Nick, acts as a curious facilitator, letting guests—ranging from everyday people to folklorists and alternative healers—recount their supernatural encounters in detail. While rooted in Philippine ghost stories (Aswang, Tiktik), the show also explores global parallels, such as Irish folklore, broadening its supernatural scope.
“Unlike many paranormal shows that retell famous hauntings, this podcast's strength is its collection of raw, first-hand accounts from guests. Its deep-seated connection to Filipino culture and specific folkloric creatures offers a unique, culturally-rich perspective rarely found in the genre.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Nick's interview style is that of a facilitator, designed to make guests comfortable sharing personal and often frightening experiences. He typically opens by setting the stage for the guest's story. As the narrative unfolds, he avoids interruption, using affirmations like 'Oo' and 'Yes' to encourage the guest. His questions are pointed and specific, aimed at clarifying sensory details ('How long was the tongue?'), establishing a timeline ('What year was that?'), or corroborating witnesses ('Did the husband see it too?'). For expert guests, he might ask about their personal origins ('When did this interest start for you?') or their own beliefs versus their academic knowledge ('Do you personally believe in fairies?').
The format is a one-on-one interview, often conducted remotely. The host, Nick, is a patient listener who allows his guests to tell their stories in long, uninterrupted stretches. His interventions are minimal, usually brief, clarifying questions to add detail or establish a timeline, maintaining a casual and encouraging tone throughout.
