Episode 40, 2024: Paranormal Trends and Fads with Henry San Miguel

Small Town Tales Podcast

In this episode of "Small Town Tales Podcast," we are joined by Henry San Miguel, a seasoned media host in the paranormal field, to discuss the latest trends and fads surrounding the paranormal community. Henry shared his insights on the ever-evolving landscape of paranormal TV shows, highlighting how the genre has captivated audiences with its mix of suspense, drama, and alleged real-life encounters with the supernatural. We also delved into the boom and decline of TV shows and paracons—conventions dedicated to all things paranormal—and how they have become a hotspot for enthusiasts, investigators, and celebrities alike to share experiences and knowledge.
About Henry:
From the moment he experienced full-body apparitions in his room in December of 1977, Henry has had a fascination & curiosity about anything paranormal. Always the weird kid at school and in his family, he spent countless hours alone reading about ghosts, astral projection, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, UFOs, aliens, and conspiracy theories (and has lived long enough to see many of those theories turn into fact).
In 1984, two big things came into his life: Ghostbusters and radio. Even though it was a comedy, the first Ghostbusters confirmed many things Henry had seen in real life and introduced some new concepts that have stayed with him to this day. Even more than Poltergeist did two years earlier.
A few months after Ghostbusters, radio came into his life completely by accident. He has been in radio as an air personality, "Voice of God" (station voice), talk show producer, production director, program director, operations director, and, ultimately, Talk show host. His nearly four decades in radio allowed him to meet and learn from psychics, paranormal investigators, and Art Bell from Coast To Coast AM, all influencing the sound of Paranormal Perception.
