This Midnight Chat is going to be different from the others before it.  Our guest is not an author, nor a paranormal celebrity. He's a friend. A friend that has had some of the most unique experiences we've ever heard. And they didn't happen once or twice...They've happened throughout his entire life. So we sit down and talk with him about them, casually, with no script or prepared questions. We just talk and le...
