About Higgypop

Higgypop is a long-running website that covers ghost sightings, paranormal investigations, strange beliefs, secret societies, UFO lore, top secret underground bunkers, and more. We are the number one website for reviews of paranormal television shows and the latest supernatural movies and documentaries. Our success is supported by the wider paranormal community and a dedicated team of writers and contributors.

Why Paranormal?

Higgypop was created out of a desire to give the paranormal the respect it deserves. Whether the stories are true or simply felt real to those who experienced them, they hold value and offer insight into human curiosity and belief. The paranormal shouldn't be confined to dark forums and low-quality videos - it deserves open, balanced, and rational discussion. At Higgypop, we aim to explore these mysteries with curiosity and respect, sharing the experiences and stories that shape the supernatural landscape.
