ASSAP Paranormal Webinars 2026: Complete Episode and Guest Catalogue

Throughout 2026 the ASSAP Paranormal Webinars continued their weekly Thursday tradition, delivering another full year of presentations, conversations and special events under the Seriously Strange banner. Scheduled from September with Kate Collins and produced and edited by Kristian Lander, as Caroline McKendrick Gibson stepped aside pursuing her own projects and successes. The programme once again brought together a remarkable range of researchers, investigators, historians and experiencers. 

A particular strength of the year was a sustained focus on the poltergeist, with more than twelve episodes exploring the phenomenon from historical cases and archival research to contemporary investigations, theoretical perspectives and personal accounts.

This list records the scheduled 2026 line-up as published. As in previous years, a number of additional sessions, conversations and events took place that were not released publicly — usually at the request of the guest. The live experience remains unique: the Q&A, discussion and social atmosphere that cannot be fully captured in the edited videos and podcasts. For the richest experience of ASSAP’s webinars, nothing replaces being present on the night.
