Beaver Dunes Park is a hotbed of paranormal activity, the dunes have been home to enough human disappearances, secret military excavations, and “Men in Black” sightings to earn it the title “Oklahoma’s Bermuda Triangle.” Spanish explorer Coronado led an expedition there in the 1500’s, where several of his men vanished mysteriously from the dunes in a blast of strange, green light, he described the phenomenon in his diary as “the work of the devil”. Native American guides in his journey warned his men not to wander into the Dunes because it was an evil place.

“The Shaman’s Portal” title was coined by these natives, and mysterious disappearances of people in the area persist to this very day. Locals report military excavation sites under the cover of darkness. Many believe the area contains a portal to another dimension, as the natives believe, as there are electromagnetic disturbances recorded in the dunes. Some say that an ancient alien spacecraft is buried deep below the ground there. Dogman, Bigfoot and skinwalker encounters are not uncommon at the location.

On this episode, Jessica explores the Oklahoma Shaman’s Portal with researcher and author John Vandeventer. John Vandeventer is originally from Plano Texas. He is a sixteen-year veteran of the United States Air Force. John’s first novel RELICS was first published in 2017 after he spent a little over two years writing the novel and researching the topic of Sasquatch as he wrote. In 2018 the author and his wife moved to Honobia Oklahoma in the heart of Oklahoma Sasquatch Country. John has been a guest on several Bigfoot and Paranormal Podcasts. He was also a guest speaker at The Honobia Bigfoot Festival in 2018, he also served as MC for the 2021 and 2022 Honobia Bigfoot Festivals. RELICS:
