Paranormal Lens - A Crossroads Of Curiosities, LLC Production

<p>This is a rare, completely off-the-cuff and unplanned episode of <strong>Paranormal Lens</strong>. While prepping for a totally different episode, we got the longest, most specific and <em>frantic </em>Instagram DM ever on our main Crossroads of Curiosities page. It was from a frightened homeowner begging for us to come and rid an alleged "demon" from their home, that was scratching her children and attacking her husband. Unlike most paranormal groups out there though, we don't take on residential cases. And in this raw conversation, we explain why. We discuss all of our concerns regarding residential cases, ranging from the ethical to the psychological.</p>

<p>This episode of <em>Paranormal Lens</em> dives into the eerie world of ritual “games,” including the infamous Hooded Man Ritual and the unsettling legend of Baby Blue, Blue Baby (which co-hosts Ben and Angela actually attempted on their 2nd date).

This episode explores where imagination ends and where something else might begin...</p><p></p><p>GEMINI SUMMARY: This episode of Paranormal Lens explores the eerie world of ritual "games," modern folklore dares or challenges that require specific steps to contact the supernatural.

<p>On this BIG episode of <strong>Paranormal Lens</strong>, we finally tackle America's favorite cryptid in-depth. Is <strong>Bigfoot</strong> really an elusive unknown creature?
