Spooky YouTube Subscriptions, Volume 3

Volume One
Volume Two

It’s a new year and time for a new installment of YouTube recommendations! And although I’ve said it in the previous two volumes, I seriously cannot get enough of YouTube.  With many sites, especially ones made up of content submitted by such a variety of people, you’re going to have to sift through the garbage and find the gems—but there are plenty of gems to be found. YouTube is a great resource for paranormal investigators, researchers, and enthusiasts. It is a huge repository of lectures, documentaries, investigation footage, how-to videos and so much more. My goal is to help you find some of those gems without getting too deep into the muck.

1. Ancestry—This is the YouTube channel for the popular Ancestry.com. There are lots of FREE videos offering tips on using the site and genealogy research in general. Genealogy is an important part of paranormal research and can provide vital historic clues to support or debunk an alleged haunting.

2. Mysterious WV—Well researched mini-documentaries covering West Virginia’s unsolved murders.

3. WV Archives and History—If you cannot make it to one of the awesome, live lectures offered by the WV State Archives, you can find it here! There is a wide array of topics covering all aspects of West Virginia history and genealogy research. There are even a few lectures devoted to paranormal topics!

4. Peter Cardwell—Do you remember the History Channel’s Haunted History of… series? That is one of my all-time favorite shows, and this YouTube user has uploaded quite a few full episodes.

5. Mothership Productions—A channel featuring tons of full-length lectures from various UFO conferences.

6. ParanormalZoneTV—Web series about all things spooky and paranormal.

7. ProfParanormal—This is the official channel of parapsychologist, Lloyd Auerbach.

8. Real Ghost Stories Online—This is pretty self-explanatory!
