THE UNHOLY PODCAST

Episode 35 of The Unholy Podcast takes you inside one of the most infamous and haunted locations in the American West—Old Idaho State Penitentiary.
In Part 1 of this investigation, author and paranormal investigator Doug Owen documents a real-time exploration of the prison’s darkest corridors, where decades of violence, isolation, and unrest may have left something behind.

Episode 33: Sanctioned Exorcism — When the Church Says It’s Real
In this gripping episode of The Unholy Podcast, Doug Owen is joined by the New Orleans Paranormal Society for a deep dive into one of the most controversial and chilling subjects in the paranormal world—possession.
This isn’t speculation. This is where belief, investigation, and institutional authority collide.
Together, they explore cases where the Catholic Church has not only acknowledged the presence of demonic forces but has officially approved the Rite of Exorcism. What does it take for the Church to declare a case authentic? What signs separate mental illness from true possession? And what happens when the line between the natural and the supernatural disappears?
From firsthand investigative insight to the dark realities behind sanctioned rituals, this episode pulls back the curtain on a subject many fear—but few truly understand.
When the Church says it’s real… you have to ask yourself why.

Welcome to Ghost Hunting 2.0.

Episode 31 of The Unholy Podcast, host Doug Owen explores one of the most unsettling paranormal phenomena ever reported—the appearance of doubles. Across history and cultures, people have claimed to encounter their own reflection walking in the world: mimics that copy voices, doppelgängers that mirror identities, and shapeshifting entities that may not be human at all.
Are these psychological experiences, supernatural warnings, or something far stranger lurking just outside our understanding? From eerie folklore to modern eyewitness accounts, this episode examines the chilling question: what if something else can become you?
Because sometimes… the most terrifying encounter isn’t with a ghost in the dark.
It’s with yourself.
