Not all ghostly encounters are dark.  Most of these are very benign and even whimsical.  But, some of them grow dark, over time. Oftentimes, it's hard to know what kind of "haunting" you have until time reveals the nature of it.  On this episode, I am joined by KJ from Nebraska who shares her incredible experiences such as a door which closed by itself, a strange hat-man apparition appearing by her bed, her dog chasing and acting against a presence only the dog could see and the haunting seemed to take on a darker tone as time wore on.  Join...

How can a 4 year old process the terror of seeing apparitions in their room in the dead of night? How does this affect the entirety of their lives following such an event?  These are the problems many people have faced when they are exposed to these horrific events as children.

There are many possible avenues one could take to become aware of the spiritual reality that surrounds us.  Some have been born into this awareness.  Others find it as a matter of the course of their lives.  Oftentimes, these people find it through trauma, illness, and even after experiencing such events such a Near Death Experiences (NDE).  I am joined on this episode by Keishon from Georgia who shares the experiences that brought this into being.  It wasn't just one event for Keishon, but rather several events that brought about this awareness that forever altered Keishon's life such as appar...

There are some events that are so shocking and profound, they become a part of our culture.  The shocking Borden double murder is one such event.  The trial of Lizzie Borden shocked the nation as young Lizzie stood accused of a horrific murder that saw her parents brutalized with an axe.  While Lizzie did stand trial and was ultimately acquitted, her legacy would even become the mantra of a children's nursery rhyme.  I am joined by Ryk McIntyre who is a long-time tour guide at the Borden House.  Ryk joins me to discuss the history, the controversial nature of this...

Most paranormal experiencers didn't choose the paranormal.  Many were simply living their life, until one day, the paranormal chose them.  It all seems to begin with one catalyzing event.  And from then on, the paranormal becomes a regular part of their lives' journey.  On this episode, I'm joined by Diana Talevich from Michigan who shares the incredible events that have been an ongoing part of her life.  It all began as a 12 year old girl when she was confronted with a pacing "cowboy" figure in her family's home.  This one event continued to manifest and seems to have set the st...

For those who have experienced the paranormal first-hand, there are mountains of questions.  They desperately want answers and understanding.  While most looking into the phenomena are content with finding evidence of the paranormal, there are some who also try to bring understanding of these events.  David Jon of SEPI Agency (Supernatural, Extraterestrial and Paranormal Investigations Agency) joins me, once again, to discuss some of the theories and hypotheses he and his team have formulated through his structured and in-depth look into these incredible events.  David and I have a fantastic discussion about some of this and the work he is d...

While there are many who experience ghosts and hauntings, it's a different kind of person who actively seeks this phenomena directly. We call these people Paranormal Investigators.  On this episode, I'm joined by Wayne Seaden who has researched the paranormal and ufo phenomena for 35 years. Wayne also worked alongside the TV Show "Most Haunted" for 14 years, hosts his own podcast titled "Truth Beyond Paranormal" and author of the "Spookinory" book series.

I have been doing a lot of interviews lately on other shows and platforms and, inevitably, the question always comes up, "What episode of your podcast really stands out?".  While I am incredibly proud of every episode of the podcast, this episode from Season 3, Episode 48 was an incredible moment for me, as I interviewed Paul from Indiana and he explained his experience of encountering a Vampire.  This is a topic I really tried to explore several times in my research to f...

It is said that "Seeing is Believing".  It is one thing to hear about the possibility that we share our world with beings that seem to have stepped straight out of nightmares. It is one thing to believe this could be true.  It is something else, entirely, to witness this and to know it is truth.  On this episode, I speak with Celina Garrett Dunn who now knows she has experienced Bigfoot first-hand.  While serving court papers, Celina realized she was being watched. What she was watched by is nothing short of sheer terror!   Join us for this incredible conve...

Some professions bring people into situations where they are confronted with the Paranormal.  One of these is definitely construction and service people.  Today, I speak with Jeff Guichard from the U.K. who joins me to discuss an extraordinary number of ghostly events.  From childhood events living in a haunted house to his profession as a contractor where he saw ghostly nuns in an old church building, an incredible experience where a lost wedding ring "apported" right in front of him and even a very lucid dream where he very well may have come face to face with the spi...

Not all ghostly encounters are terrifying. But, some certainly are.  These are events that defy our understanding of the world around us.  They defy the sciences we are told to trust and, in many ways, reshape the worlds of those that experience them.  On this episode, I am joined by Marvin Ballard of Kansas who shares several extraordinary encounters he has experienced and affected his life.  From terrifying shadow people encounters to beautiful visitations from his loved ones, these experiences truly run the full spectrum of possibility.  Join us for this incredible conversation and so much more!  Enter the Parano...

Are ghosts real?  Are they "disembodied spirits" of people? There are many individuals looking for answers to these questions and more. On this episode, I speak with Author and Researcher Darcie McGrath who has dedicated her life to the topic of ghosts, hauntings and developing technologies into researching these very things.  Darcie is the founder of "Quantum Psi Group", has both studied and taught courses on Parapsychology and has authored several books.  Her books combine a fictional storyline but are anchored in very real research and experiences she has had in some incredible haunted locations. Darcie and I discuss som...

Many believe we are surrounded by several different types of entities.  Some of these we call ghosts, Some we call cryptids or creatures, some seem to come from the stars and many others.  There are those who actively seek these various phenomena, but there are others who have lived with them their whole lives!  On this show, I talk with Author Colleen Coffman.  Colleen's book "The Adventures of a Sketch Diary" is her artistic renderings of her own fantastic paranormal experiences.  Colleen and I walk through several of her experiences and we discuss the phenomena she has encountered.

There's no doubt that there are some people who seem to be "magnets" of sorts for strange, paranormal events to occur throughout their lives.  This could be for any number of reasons but it also seems apparent that those who have one event, they are much more likely to have more.  Barry Anderson rejoins me on this episode and shares a bit more of the paranormal events that have shaped his life.  These events center on his life as a young man.  We also discussed some of the profound ramifications of these events and how they may have been inst...

We are a culture of stories. We have history because of those who have taken it upon themselves to record our stories.  While there are several exceptional writers who have documented the incredible events that occur in the paranormal, there are some who simply redefine the genre.  As a host, I research these stories and there is ONE writer who has always been nothing short of amazing.  That man is Brent Swancer.  On this episode of the Paranormal Portal, I had the honor of meeting and interviewing Brent Swancer and this was truly a "bucket list" interview for me, pers...

Do you believe in Ghosts?  While ghost encounters and stories are a part of the culture and histories of all cultures on the face of the earth, what is the actual nature of this strange phenomena?  Traditionally, the term ghost has been used as a blanket term to indicate encounters with unseen, presumably human spiritual presences.
