How we rank Paranormal & UFO podcasts

Every podcast on WhichPodcast is ranked using WP Score — our own proprietary algorithm that weighs audience reach, episode consistency, cross-platform presence, and listener engagement signals across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. Unlike single-platform metrics, WP Score reflects a show's true footprint across the entire podcast landscape. The paranormal & UFO podcasts above are the highest-scoring shows in this genre right now, updated regularly as new data comes in.

Want a more personal recommendation? Our podcast discovery quiz matches you to the right show based on your mood, how much time you have, and whether you want a household name or a hidden gem.

Frequently asked questions

What are the best paranormal podcasts?

The shows at the top of this page are the highest-ranked paranormal podcasts on WhichPodcast right now, ordered by WP Score, which weighs listener ratings, reach across Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube, and how consistently a show publishes. Switch to Hidden Gem for well-made shows with smaller audiences.

What are the best UFO podcasts?

UFO and UAP podcasts range from witness interviews and investigations of historical cases to weekly news on government disclosure. Several of the best-known UFO shows are ranked in the list above, alongside cryptid and haunting podcasts.

Are there podcasts about Bigfoot and cryptids?

Yes. Cryptid podcasts collect eyewitness encounters, field research and folklore about Bigfoot, Dogman, the Mothman and other creatures. You'll find several of them ranked on this page.

What's the difference between paranormal and horror podcasts?

On WhichPodcast, paranormal podcasts deal with real-world claims: UFO sightings, cryptid encounters, hauntings and ghost investigations presented as true. Horror podcasts are fiction and entertainment: audio dramas, scary story readings and horror film discussion. Each has its own page.
