Paranormal Portal
The world is full of mystery. Man's hubris would have you believe that the world is mapped, it is explained, it has been conquered. But many would disagree. We believe the world still has mystery. That there are layers upon layers of the world that remain unexplored and unexplained. That there is still magic and mystery all around us.. if only we would open our eyes and our hearts to understand. Paranormal Portal explores the many mysteries that still persist. Discussing theory, testimonial and possibility in an open forum for all to take part.. ENTER THE PARANORMAL PORTAL.. if you dare!

**Note** The slight "clicking" noise that can be heard is some very odd audio artifact from the connection with my guest. I was unable to completely remove it, but made it as subtle as I could. My apologies if this creates problems for some listening to this episode

We all have dreams. Dreams are our vision for a better future during the day, but at night, they are something else. Many dismiss our dreams as the musings of a subconscious mind processing a myriad of things. Others look to dreams as premonitions or of spiritual importance. Perhaps they are both. I am joined on this episode by Ana Cortez. Ana has experienced dreams and Astral projections throughout most of her life. For Ana,...
Paranormal experiences are often weighed and measured by the experiences people have in their waking lives.

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 Safar...
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 a...
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?

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...
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.

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.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
