Seasonal Paranormal Phenomena Explained | Evil Eye, Cryptids & Global Folklore

Seasonal paranormal activity, spring folklore, and global spiritual rituals take center stage as we explore springtime supernatural traditions, evil eye cleansing (limpias), cryptids, shapeshifters, and increased spirit activity across cultures.

From mal de ojo and limpia rituals in Latin America to Filipino entities like the Aswang, Tikbalang, and Kapre, many traditions treat this season as a time when something builds and shifts. In Eastern Europe, Rusalka water spirits are believed to become active during late spring, while in Bali, massive Ogoh-Ogoh rituals are used to draw out and burn away chaotic energy before the New Year, followed by a full day of complete silence.

Across cultures with no shared history, people respond in strikingly similar ways: cleansing energy, avoiding certain places, staying close to home, and paying closer attention to what can’t always be explained. These patterns show up again and again, tied to the same time of year.

Is it environmental? Psychological? Or something people have been quietly responding to for generations?

If you’re into paranormal activity, folklore, cryptids, shapeshifters, and unexplained global traditions, this episode is for you.
