Belief Hole

Three brothers talking about Dogman encounters, poltergeist infestations, and alien conspiracies sounds like it could go off the rails fast, but Jeremy, Jon, and Chris Parfitt manage to strike a balance that few paranormal podcasts achieve. Belief Hole mixes legitimate research from classic Fortean texts with the kind of sibling banter that makes you feel like you’ve pulled up a chair at the weirdest family dinner imaginable. The Parfitt brothers launched the show in 2018 and have built up 146 episodes, releasing roughly monthly. Each episode focuses on a specific paranormal topic, from the Las Vegas alien encounter to camping horror stories submitted by listeners, and they alternate between serious documentary-style breakdowns and segments where their natural chemistry takes over. The production quality is notably high for an independent podcast. Sound design and original music give episodes an atmosphere that punches well above what you’d expect from a three-person operation. One of the show’s best recurring features is their listener story episodes. Fans submit accounts of encounters with mimics, shadow figures, and roadside strangeness, and the brothers present them with a mix of genuine interest and playful skepticism. The Camp Creeply series, where they collect camping and wilderness paranormal experiences, has become a fan favorite. The show sits at 4.8 stars from nearly 1,000 reviews, and it’s part of the SpectreVision Radio network, which operates at the intersection of arts and the uncanny. A membership program offers bonus episodes for dedicated fans. The monthly release schedule means less content than daily shows, but each episode feels like it had actual effort behind it rather than being churned out on a production line.
