Strange things happen. Sometimes they leave records. State of the Unknown is a documentary paranormal podcast about real people who encountered something they couldn't explain. It is a host-narrated documentary series, not an interview show. From ghosts and documented hauntings to UFO encounters, cryptid sightings, strange creatures, and other unexplained events, each episode follows the people at the center of the story—what happened, what evidence remains, and what explanations came later. These aren't campfire stories. They're incidents with names, dates, locations, witnesses, and consequences. Some have clear explanations. Others don't. But all of them left a mark. If you love paranormal stories, ghost stories, UFO cases, cryptid encounters, and unexplained mysteries but still want to know what really happened, this is your show. It is made for listeners who enjoy paranormal and unexplained stories but still want careful research, grounded storytelling, and room to make up their own minds. You're allowed to be curious without being required to believe. New episodes every week. 🔗 www.stateoftheunknown.com 📸 @stateoftheunknownpodcast more
