This week on the **222 Paranormal Podcast**, we take you deep inside one of the most spirited gatherings of the year — the **Rock Island Roadhouse Esoteric Expo**. In this special episode, we bring you not one, but *two fascinating interviews* recorded live from one of the most haunted and intriguing venues in the Midwest.

First, we sit down with **Kay**, an experiencer who has spent much of her life encountering the unexplained. Kay opens up about her **personal paranormal experiences**, from shadow figures and disembodied voices to the strange energies that seem to follow her wherever she goes. Her stories blur the line between the physical and spiritual worlds, and her honesty and calm reflection will make you question what truly lies beyond the veil. Kay’s encounters serve as a reminder that sometimes, the most chilling hauntings aren’t found in abandoned buildings — they happen to everyday people living ordinary lives.

Then, we shift from personal experiences to a chilling location that has captured the attention of investigators everywhere. **Derek from Eternal Paranormal** joins us to discuss his team’s research into a deeply haunted location known as the **Sanctum of Souls**, an abandoned church that holds a reputation for intense supernatural activity. From unexplained chanting and shadow masses to the unnerving feeling of being watched, this church has become a magnet for investigators seeking answers to the mysteries of the afterlife. Derek shares not only his team’s findings but also the history and theories behind the haunting — from restless spirits to possible darker energies that may linger within its walls.

Throughout the episode, Jennifer and Joe reflect on how locations like Rock Island Roadhouse and Sanctum of Souls seem to serve as crossroads between worlds — where emotion, energy, and spirit collide. We also talk about what makes these haunted gatherings so special: the community of believers, skeptics, and seekers who come together to share stories, evidence, and experiences that defy explanation.

Whether you’re a seasoned investigator, a curious listener, or someone who has experienced the unexplainable yourself, this episode is sure to keep you captivated. As always, we invite you to listen with an open mind and remember — not every haunting happens in the dark; sometimes, the most profound experiences occur in the light of day among those brave enough to share them.

So, grab your EMF meter, light a candle, and join us for this week’s paranormal journey — **two interviews, two haunting tales, one unforgettable episode**.

Tune in, if you dare, as we explore the mysteries of the Rock Island Roadhouse Esoteric Expo — and discover what secrets lie hidden within the **Sanctum of Souls**.
