Most people dismiss their dreams.  It is the subconscious mind entertaining itself as our body rests in sleep.  While many dreams are just that, there exists another type of dream that brings the dreamer into a profound spiritual state.  In this state, many have reported profound meetings and conversations with deceased loved ones or premonitions that become realized in our waking world.  On this episode, I am joined by Shiva Safari of Toronto who shares her many incredible paranormal events.  A significant number of her experiences were experiencing these "spiritual...

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 us for this incredible...

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...

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 find modern examples of people encountering these horrifying creatures.  Unfortunately, I could only find references to the "goth counter-culture" where people essentially cosplay vampires or ancient, historic references.  But, then, Paul emailed me...and appeared on the show.  I found him to be incredibly sincere and believable.  Have a listen.  Do you think he encountered a vampire?

Here are the original show notes from when this aired on April 24, 2022:

On this episode of the Paranormal Portal Podcast, we welcome Paul from Indiana.  Paul has the unique distinction of being the very first eyewitness to have encountered an actual Vampire.  Not only once, but twice in his lifetime.  While many would dismiss such a claim as the folly of fantasy, but it is my firm belief that there is some truth to even the most bizarre legend.  While Vampires have been romanticized and contorted by creative minds for our entertainment, there is a very ancient history in our cultures that warn us of the undead beings that prey on the living.  These experiences are extraordinarily rare, but claims such as this persist...even in our modern age.  Join us as we discuss all of this and so much more!  Enter the Paranormal Portal...if you dare!
