Big changes coming my friends. Here's an update on the upcoming show.

Hello, friends. Stephen here from the Paranormal 360 TV project, and I want to take a few moments to share an important and heartfelt update with you.

First and foremost, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. To every single supporter, donor, and believer who has stood by this project over the years—your encouragement has meant more than words can express. Your generosity has made it possible for us to keep pursuing something truly unique in the world of paranormal investigation.

That brings me to something I feel is important to address directly: There’s been some recent confusion surrounding the future of Paranormal 360 TV. Let me be clear—the project is not over, and it is absolutely  not being shut down. In fact, there are exciting developments in the works that I’ll be sharing with you very soon.

But before I get into what’s ahead, I want to take a few moments to reflect and give some context. This journey began about five years ago. My longtime friend and collaborator, Rick Hale—who I considered a brother—and I worked closely on multiple creative projects. In 2020, I invited Rick to join me in launching  Shadow Initiative Paranormal Talk, which later evolved into  Shadow Initiative Paranormal Talk & TV, adding a visual component to our audio podcast.

For three solid years, we poured our energy into producing meaningful content that resonated with fellow investigators and enthusiasts. Around that time, I also shared with Rick an idea for something bigger—what you now know as  Paranormal 360 TV. He embraced it enthusiastically, and together we began shaping the vision, while continuing to run the podcast.

As we shifted focus toward developing and promoting Paranormal 360 TV, the podcast became less frequent—not due to lack of passion, but simply because of time and resource constraints. Still, our dedication to the Paranormal 360 vision never wavered.

To be transparent, I’ve made a significant personal and financial investment in these endeavors. Since 2020, I’ve spent over  $1,296  on podcast hosting and another  $3,119.52  on website development, domains, and marketing—totaling nearly  $4,500  out of pocket. These efforts haven’t been monetized. They’ve been labors of love, fueled by a deep desire to share compelling, authentic paranormal content with all of you.

Beyond the financial cost, I’ve devoted countless hours to every episode and every aspect of production—from editing and artwork to uploading and distributing. Each podcast episode took between six and nine hours of my time beyond the recording. That commitment is rooted in my belief in this project, and in all of you who continue to believe in it too.

So, imagine my surprise when I began receiving messages and emails claiming that the Paranormal 360 TV project had been shut down. That is  not true. I never made any such announcement—and I want to personally reassure you:  we are moving forward.

In fact, I’m currently in talks with some highly respected colleagues in the paranormal field who are interested in joining the team. While nothing has been finalized yet, the conversations are promising. And this time, we’re doing things right—with contracts in place to ensure fairness, clarity, and commitment.

I’m also planning to relaunch the podcast in  September, with a new co-host who will also serve as the lead investigator for Paranormal 360 TV. While those details are still being finalized, you can expect an official announcement by  July  regarding the new lineup.

Here’s the most important takeaway: Unless you hear it directly from  me, any rumors or misinformation about this project are simply that—misinformation. All official updates will come from me alone, and I will always be transparent with you, as I’ve always strived to be.

Now, I want to take a moment to speak from the heart about Rick Hale. While he and I are no longer working together, and our friendship has taken an unexpected turn, I hold no ill will. The last thing I said to Rick before our communication ended was, “I love you”—and I meant it. He was like a brother to me, and in many ways, he still is in spirit. People move on, paths diverge, and sometimes closure comes in ways we don’t expect. I respect his journey and sincerely wish him and his family nothing but success, health, and happiness.

Please continue to support Rick’s work. He’s a talented author and paranormal researcher. If you haven’t read his first book, I highly recommend it. Be sure to follow his author page for updates and insights—his voice is a valuable one in this field.

With that said, this chapter of our collaboration is closed, and I move forward with respect, gratitude, and optimism.

Thank you for sticking with me and with Paranormal 360 TV. Stay tuned for big updates this summer as we prepare to relaunch the podcast and bring the show to life in ways you’ve never seen before.

With appreciation,
Stephen Lancaster
Founder, Paranormal 360 TV

We are moving along and very, very grateful for those who have contributed to our project! We've started the podcast/video show back up to hopefully gain more traction on this.
