Greg & Ash

Pursuit of the Paranormal is where curiosity meets cold spots. Hosted by Greg & Ash, we dive into ghosts, UFOs/UAPs, cryptids, hauntings, and high strangeness with an open mind and a healthy dose of evidence-led thinking. Each week we investigate historic locations, unpack famous cases, and bring on researchers, experiencers, skeptics, scientists, and investigators for unfiltered conversations that challenge what we think we know.
From shadow figures in stately homes to lights in the night sky, we chase the stories, the data, and the people behind them—no clickbait, no fluff, just credible, curious, and occasionally creepy explorations of the unknown. Whether you’re a seasoned investigator, a late-night listener, or just “paranormal-curious,” you’re in good company here.
Hit follow, share your encounters, and join us as we document the unexplained—one case, one interview, one eerie EVP at a time.
