A big hello to the entire YouHive community! I finally got around to posting my first entry! This is also the first review I’m sharing on Hive, and I’m really excited to do it, since it’s not the kind of content I usually create. So I decided to start by talking about a channel I really enjoy and that I think is a great option for anyone who loves paranormal topics.

In my case (as many of you already know), I particularly enjoy this type of content because I’ve always been fascinated by folk beliefs and hearing stories about phenomena that still spark debate in society. Regardless of whether or not one believes in the paranormal, I believe these topics are part of the cultural richness of many countries.

Well, without further ado, the channel I’m going to tell you about is called Podcast Extra Anormal, and its host is the Mexican José Francisco Ramirez (Paco Arias), a content creator who is passionate about the paranormal. Paco also has his own production company called iEX Studios and another podcast called “Se Regalan Sustos.” But this time, we’ll focus on the channel I mentioned at the beginning.

This section explores mysteries and experiences that defy logical explanation: the paranormal, witchcraft, legends, unexplained phenomena, and accounts from people who claim to have had these kinds of experiences.

Although the channel was created in 2013, it actually started uploading content 5 years ago. I discovered it in 2023, and since then it has become one of my favorite YouTube channels ⭐️. It currently has over 2 million subscribers. It’s satisfying to see how Paco has evolved in such a short time; this was his first video.

If you compare them to how they are now, the change is definitely remarkable—discipline and perseverance are the foundation of success 🙌.

What I think is great—aside from the topics covered in the videos—is the variety of guests who appear in the episodes. Some specialize in the paranormal and are mediums, sorcerers, investigators, writers, priests, or experts in esoteric traditions; others, on the other hand, have witnessed certain phenomena firsthand and share their accounts with Paco.

In addition, he has recently been experimenting with a new format: sharing paranormal stories that his subscribers send him via email. In some videos, he (Paco) appears alone, discussing these stories, analyzing them, and presenting them on his own. In others, he is joined by guests who also read parts of the stories and offer their opinions as experts on these topics, which brings a variety of perspectives and enriches each episode.

In addition, the channel has its own website where it publishes exclusive content for those who want to learn more:

Paco Arias’s hosting style stands out for being approachable, respectful, objective, and empathetic. Rather than trying to impose his point of view or a particular stance, he allows guests to tell their stories freely, creating a pleasant and friendly atmosphere in which the audience feels comfortable and can draw their own conclusions based on the topic at hand. This makes each video entertaining and intriguing, keeping the listener engaged with the podcast until the very end.

The production quality is excellent; it’s one of the best paranormal channels I’ve had the chance to discover on YouTube. Likewise, the variety of topics and the frequency with which they post new episodes have helped Podcast Extra Anormal build a large community of loyal followers in both Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries.

Here’s one of the most powerful episodes I’ve seen on the channel—a shocking testimony from a woman who worked with a politician. It’s a must-watch. Here’s the link so you can stay up all night watching it, just like I did 😁.

Its content—which combines stories, interviews, and analysis of supernatural phenomena—makes it an excellent choice for those who enjoy exploring the boundaries between reality and the unknown.

Another thing that fascinates me about this channel is the deep love Paco has for his culture and how successfully he shares it. If you want to learn everything about Mexican paranormal folklore, this is one of the best options. That’s how I learned about “the nahuales” and the ancient witches who still live in villages and practice magic just as their ancestors did.

Although the podcast features many compelling testimonies, it’s important to remember that most of the stories are based on the guests’ personal experiences and cannot always be verified. I believe that part of the show’s appeal lies precisely in listening to these paranormal accounts and letting each listener draw their own conclusions.

In short, “Podcast Extra Anormal” is a must-listen for fans of mystery and horror. Each episode invites listeners to reflect on the unexplained and offers an immersive experience for those who enjoy stories that challenge logic and spark the imagination.

That's all for today. I hope you enjoyed this review, and if you weren't familiar with this channel, I hope you'll check it out!

¡Un gran saludo a toda la comunidad de YouHive! ¡Por fin me animé a hacer mi primera publicación! También, esta es la primera reseña que comparto en Hive y me hace mucha ilusión hacerlo, pues no es el contenido habitual que suelo realizar. Así que decidí comenzar hablando de un canal que disfruto mucho y que considero una excelente opción para quienes aman los temas paranormales.

En mi caso personal (como ya muchos saben) disfruto especialmente de este tipo de contenido porque desde siempre me ha llamado la atención conocer las creencias populares y escuchar historias sobre fenómenos que todavía generan debate en la sociedad. Independientemente de si uno cree o no en lo paranormal, considero que estos temas forman parte de la riqueza cultural de muchos países.

Bueno, sin más preámbulos, el canal del que les voy a hablar se llama Podcast Extra Anormal y su host es el mexicano José Francisco Ramirez (Paco Arias), un creador de contenido apasionado del tema paranormal. Igualmente, Paco tiene su propia casa productora llamada iEX Studios y otro podcast llamado “Se Regalan Sustos”. Pero en esta oportunidad, nos enfocaremos en el canal que nombré al principio.

En este espacio se tratan temas de misterio y experiencias que desafían toda explicación lógica: paranormal, brujería, leyendas, fenómenos inexplicables y testimonios de personas que aseguran haber vivido este tipo de experiencias.

Aunque el canal tiene como fecha de creación el año 2013, en realidad comenzó a subir contenido hace 5 años. Yo lo descubrí en el año 2023 y desde entonces se convirtió en uno de mis canales de Youtube favoritos ⭐️. Actualmente, cuenta con más de 2 millones de suscriptores. Produce satisfacción ver cómo Paco ha evolucionado en tan poco tiempo, este fue su primer video:
