State of the Unknown | Documented Hauntings and Real Paranormal Cases Across America
State of the Unknown examines documented paranormal cases, real hauntings, and unexplained events tied to actual locations across America. Each episode focuses on a single case, drawing from eyewitness testimony, official reports, historical records, and investigative findings to explore what was documented, what was disputed, and what remains unresolved.
Hosted by Robert Barber, the show takes a grounded, investigative approach to cases involving reported possessions, poltergeist activity, mysterious encounters, and other claims of the unexplained. The emphasis stays on clarity and context — separating verified details from speculation without leaning into hype or theatrics.
If you’re drawn to fact-based explorations of real paranormal cases — stories told straight, with evidence where it exists and open questions where it doesn’t — this is a show for you.
