The Paranormal CURSE That Caused the Great Fire of LONDON
2025 TOUR TICKETS
www.thisparanormallife.com
The great fire of London, started on Pudding Lane in 1666 is known as one of the greatest tragedies in British history. But if it is known as an unavoidable accident, why was it predicted years earlier, and even drawn and depicted beforehand by soothsayers? That’s because there is a compelling argument that says the great fire was no ordinary fire, it was the result of a paranormal curse on the city of London. From biblical plagues to raining blood, to the number of the beast 666 in the date itself, something odd was going on. But what caused these paranormal events? Time for Rory and Kit to find out.

We’ve all eaten pancakes that taste ‘out of this world’, but what about pancakes that are literally not from Earth? That is the terrifying and delicious reality that Joe Simonton from Wisconsin stepped into in 1961 when a UFO landed and delivered pancakes to him. It might sound ridiculous but what followed was anything but — government involvement, laboratory testing, and local furore as the world tried to get to the bottom of this story. It’s time for Rory and Kit to investigate.

Boy POSSESSED By Human Sacrifice - Leicester’s Humber Stone
2025 TOUR TICKETS
www.thisparanormallife.com
Leicester is famous for many things; it’s football club… cheese… OK that’s pretty much it. But what about HUMAN SACRIFICE? It sounds far-fetched and yet like much of ancient Britain the land was once ruled by pagans, many of whom practiced a druidic religion which may have involved human sacrifice. Some say it’s because of that ancient history that Leicester’s Humber Stone has come to be cursed. Ghost sightings, spontaneous combustion, and possession have all been reported in this small region of Leicestershire. What is going on? And is it paranormal? It’s time for Rory and Kit to find out.
