    • From fan to professional wrestlerUnexpected passions can lead to successful careers, even if they weren't initially planned for.

      People can discover unexpected passions and turn them into successful careers, even if they didn't initially plan for it. Robbie Vegas, a professional wrestler, shared his story of being a lifelong fan who was approached in the gym about trying out for an independent wrestling school. He had always dreamed of being a wrestler but didn't know how to make it a reality until this opportunity presented itself. Similarly, many professional wrestlers, such as Kane or The Undertaker, didn't initially plan on becoming wrestlers but ended up making it their careers. This goes to show that sometimes, the path to success may not be linear or predictable, but with determination and opportunity, one can achieve their dreams. Additionally, Robbie mentioned his experience with podcasting, which he never thought he'd be doing but now enjoys and appreciates the fans who listen.

    • From Ordinary to Inspiring: A Truck Driver's Podcast JourneyDespite feeling unremarkable at times, one can inspire others and make an impact through authenticity and sharing unique perspectives

      No matter how ordinary you may feel about yourself, you never know who you might inspire or the impact you can make on others. Robbie, a truck driver and podcast host, expressed his surprise at having fans and followers, despite feeling unremarkable at times. He shared his experiences in music, having been in metal bands and doing acoustic shows for decades. Robbie emphasized the humbling experience of meeting fans and the mind-blowing feeling of having them engage with his work. Despite his success, he encourages authenticity and staying true to one's interests, as shown through his podcast, All Bets Are Off, where he interviews horror actors, professional wrestlers, and rock stars, and discusses album breakdowns, movie reviews, and rankings. Robbie's advice to those starting a podcast is to be themselves and share their unique perspectives.

    • Authenticity in Podcasting: Being True to YourselfBeing authentic in podcasting is crucial as audiences can sense insincerity. Share your true self, even if it's a learning process.

      Authenticity matters in podcasting. The speaker shares an experience of having an uncle who struggled to find his voice behind a microphone, contrasting it with his usual outgoing self. This learning curve is natural, but trying to present a false persona is easily detected by listeners. The speaker uses the example of professional wrestler The Undertaker, who maintained his character in public for decades, to illustrate the mental toll of living a fabricated identity. In podcasting, it's essential to be true to yourself, as your audience can sense insincerity.

    • Encountering the unknown: a mix of fear and excitementEncountering the unknown can be terrifying, but it can also lead to unique experiences and personal growth. Stay calm and composed in unfamiliar situations.

      The experience of encountering the unknown can be both terrifying and exhilarating. The speaker, a fan of cryptids, found himself in an unfamiliar and eerie area during a road trip, which triggered his fascination with Sasquatch. As they drove through a "dead zone" with no reception or street lights, the group encountered a giant, shaggy creature that left them speechless and frightened. Despite the fear, the speaker was grateful for the experience and the unique story it added to his life. The encounter served as a reminder of the power of the unknown and the importance of staying calm and composed in unfamiliar situations.

    • A life-changing encounter with a Bigfoot-like creature fuels a fascinationAn encounter with a large, possibly mythical creature can spark a lifelong fascination, leading individuals to explore unknown territories and seek answers.

      The speaker had a life-changing encounter with a large, possibly Bigfoot-like creature during a car ride, and since then, his interest in the mythical creature deepened. He has since explored areas known for Bigfoot sightings, including Devil's Hole in New York, and even came across a potential footprint during a hike. The experience left a lasting impression on him and fueled his fascination with the creature. The speaker also mentioned that he had a friend vouch for the story and shared it on his podcast. The remote and seemingly inhospitable areas near the New York-Pennsylvania border, where Bigfoot sightings have been reported, were described as ideal habitats for such creatures due to their isolation and rugged terrain.

    • Local culture embraces Bigfoot legendLocals in Vermont casually discuss Bigfoot sightings and have memorabilia, while using a Ouija board led the speaker to encounter angels and demons.

      The culture in certain areas, like Vermont, embraces the legend of Bigfoot and treats it as a normal part of their community. This was evident during the speaker's encounter with locals who spoke matter-of-factly about Bigfoot sightings and even had memorabilia and statues dedicated to the creature. The speaker also shared their experiences with using a Ouija board, which they warned against due to the potentially dangerous entities they encountered. For months, they and their friend used the board and received messages from spirits, some of which they identified as angels and demons. The experience left a lasting impact on them and reinforced their belief in the paranormal.

    • A Ouija board session in a basement led to unsettling experiencesDabbling in the supernatural through a Ouija board can lead to strange experiences and potential dangers.

      Using a Ouija board in a basement led to strange and unsettling experiences for a group of friends. They heard unexplained noises, saw objects move, and even felt a dark presence. The experiences became increasingly intense, with the friends hearing footsteps, seeing specks of light, and even one friend waking up with an unexplained scratch and having a disturbing dream. The friends eventually realized they had to stop using the board and even got rid of it. Years later, they discovered that one friend's best friend had encountered a psychic who identified an attachment from the Ouija board, tracing it back to their sessions in the basement. The friend had experienced similar disturbing events, and the psychic warned her of potential danger, likening it to the events in the movie "Insidious." This story serves as a reminder of the potential dangers and unknown consequences of dabbling in the supernatural.

    • Sister's encounter with unwanted attachments and supernatural experiences through Ouija boardUsing a Ouija board can lead to unintended consequences, including unwanted attachments and encounters with supernatural entities. Be cautious.

      Playing with a Ouija board can lead to unwanted attachments or supernatural experiences. The speaker's sister went through this ordeal, and the woman who helped them revealed that there were angels and demons in their mother's house, and a portal existed. The speaker's friend was more intrigued and continued to use the Ouija board, but the speaker felt indifferent since they had grown up with such occurrences. However, they later regretted their involvement when their sister experienced similar attachments. The speaker warns against using Ouija boards due to their unknown origins and potential consequences. The speaker's own experience with the board may have even contributed to the supernatural activity in their home.

    • Encountering the Unexplainable: Paranormal Experiences with Electronic ManipulationParanormal experiences can involve the manipulation of electronic devices, as seen in a door opening on its own and a shadow figure turning on a computer. These occurrences may be linked to energy sources or possession, adding complexity to understanding these phenomena.

      Paranormal experiences can be unexplainable and often involve the manipulation of electronic devices. The speaker shared an experience of an attic door opening on its own and seeing a little girl, which was later confirmed by a friend. They also encountered a shadow figure that turned on a computer and disappeared into thin air. A psychic later revealed that a family member was experiencing possession similar to the movie "Insidious," and removing the attachment required battling it. The shadow figure's ability to manipulate the electronic device suggests it may have been feeding off its energy. The door moving without being an electronic device adds complexity to this theory. The moaning sound was not explicitly described but may have been similar to a zombie-like groan based on the speaker's interpretation. Overall, these experiences highlight the mysterious and inexplicable nature of paranormal phenomena.

    • Strange Sounds and Paranormal Activity in a Haunted HouseA haunted house produced deep, guttural sounds and other paranormal activity, causing fear and fascination among the residents, leading some to seek reminders of the experience through tattoos.

      An unexplained sound in a haunted house was described as deep and guttural, resembling something from a zombie movie. The sound was coming from the attic and was accompanied by other paranormal activity. A friend of the speaker stayed in the basement to cope with the fear, but even he reported seeing apparitions and hearing strange noises. Another friend, who was fascinated by the experience, got a Ouija board planchette tattooed on his hand as a reminder of the impactful events. Despite the eerie occurrences, the speaker continued to live in the house, finding comfort in acknowledging and interacting with the presence.

    • Ouija board encounters lead to ongoing paranormal experiencesUsing a Ouija board led to encounters with a spirit and other unidentified entities, resulting in comforting and unsettling experiences for the individual.

      The use of a Ouija board led to paranormal experiences for an individual, including the presence of a spirit named Amanda, and later encounters with unidentified entities. These experiences were not always negative, but the individual did mention feeling uneasy about certain occurrences. After getting rid of the Ouija board, the individual continued to encounter paranormal activity, including seeing white and grayish figures moving around their homes. Despite feeling open to such experiences, they only occurred when the individual was alone. The white mist encountered earlier was assumed to be a good sign due to its color, but the nature of the later entities was unclear. Overall, the use of the Ouija board led to ongoing paranormal experiences for the individual, some of which were comforting, while others were unexplained and slightly unsettling.

    • Unexplained occurrences with religious symbolsThe speaker has had encounters with inexplicable phenomena, including apparitions and moving objects, some involving religious symbols, leaving them feeling unsettled but curious.

      The speaker has experienced unexplained occurrences in different places, where they saw apparitions peripherally or objects moving inexplicably. These experiences included seeing a reflection of a moving figure in the glass of picture frames in their previous apartment, and a picture of Jesus moving behind them in their basement. The speaker felt uneasy about these experiences, especially when it involved religious symbols, but they never escalated into violent encounters. The speaker is spiritual and religious, and they interpreted these occurrences as potential attempts to get their attention or as unexplained phenomena. The experiences left the speaker feeling unsettled but ultimately curious.

    • Personal experiences with paranormal activity in a grandmother's houseUnexplained occurrences in a house may be signs of paranormal activity, ranging from seemingly harmless to unsettling. The origin and intentions of these entities remain a mystery.

      The speaker shared personal experiences of paranormal activity in their grandmother's house. These experiences ranged from seemingly harmless occurrences, like a loaf of bread mysteriously appearing on the floor, to more unsettling encounters with a young girl in the hallway. The speaker couldn't explain the origin of the girl or the reason for her presence, but her image reminded him of the girl from the movie "The Ring." The house was also reportedly home to a portal in the backyard, which was being blocked by a tree. When the tree comes down, more entities and attachments may enter the house. The speaker and their family had long planned to remove the tree, but now they may decide to leave it as a precaution. Overall, the speaker's experiences demonstrate the unpredictable and often inexplicable nature of paranormal activity.

    • Robbie Vegas' Haunted House Experience and PodcastRobbie Vegas, a wrestler, shared his haunted house experiences and encourages listeners to check out his podcast and music. His EP is called 'Angels and Demons' and single 'This Way' is available. Follow him on Instagram for updates.

      The tree in the haunted house may have played a role in attracting supernatural entities due to its size and position, but its presence was likely a matter of chance rather than a deliberate act. Robbie Vegas, a professional wrestler, shared his experiences with paranormal activity and encouraged listeners to check out his podcast and music. The discussion touched on various topics including horror, the supernatural, and wrestling. To connect with Robbie, listeners can follow his Instagram account, Robbie_vegas_official, for updates on shows and music releases. His EP is called "Angels and Demons," and his single "This Way" is available on popular music platforms. The podcast, abaopod, can be found on all social media channels and covers a range of topics including horror, paranormal, heavy metal, rock and roll, and professional wrestling.

    • Uncovering the truth requires unconventional methodsSometimes, to discover the truth, one must challenge the status quo and think outside the box.

      The past holds a wealth of knowledge, accessible for free, and sometimes, one must be bold and unconventional to uncover it. The speaker in this text, with his dreams of success and unconventional methods, found confirmation in the form of Bigfoot. He saw his store as a tool for marketing, but he was willing to go beyond the norms and take the first shot, just like in a game of erodeon. The historians, like reading an accordion, stretched thin to confirm his findings in the woods. In essence, the journey to discovering the truth is not always straightforward, and sometimes, it requires a unique perspective and a willingness to challenge the status quo.

    663: Stranger Things Of The Unseen Realm
    In episode 663: Stranger Things Of The Unseen Realm, Chad Riley joins to discuss his documentary Skinwalkers & Stranger Things Of The Unseen Realm. This gripping conversation uncovers the mysteries of hitchhiking spirits, remote viewing, and the occult connections between Jack Parsons, Aleister Crowley, and military endeavors.

    RELOADED | 502: Lost Treasure and Secret Petroglyphs of Virginia
    In Episode 502: Lost Treasure and Secret Petroglyphs of Virginia we are joined by Justin, Lance, and Ryan from the Appalachian Intelligence podcast, who reached out months ago regarding some unusual pictures they had taken in Virginia. Buried in the hills of Virginia, there is a huge rock that Justin, Lance, and Ryan stumbled across, with petroglyphs etched into its face.

    Introducing: Free The Rabbits

    Introducing: Free The Rabbits
    How deep down the rabbit hole have you gone? Do you currently reside there? If so, it's time to touch grass and get your tail out of the hole!

    “Free The Rabbits” is a new podcast by Joel Thomas that explores the conspiratorial world without getting lost in the proverbial rabbit hole. It's easy to attribute negative causes and effects to events that don't make sense around us. While sometimes there might be a valid case for such machinations, there's just as likely a simple explanation. Joel Thomas doesn’t shy away from the weird, supernatural, and paranormal, but he offers a unique perspective on conspiracies. He acknowledges that theories are just that—possibilities, not provable facts.

    RELOADED | 381: Knock Knock Knock

    RELOADED | 381: Knock Knock Knock
    In Episode 381: Knock Knock Knock, we are joined by Travis, who did not experience anything paranormal in his life until he was around 20 years old, when he had a terrifying hatman encounter. The hatman Travis witnessed was different than many of the descriptions we’ve heard before, because the hatman wasn't alone. When Travis saw him, he was accompanied by a little girl to whom he was feeding a dead crow. Later in the episode, as we recap Travis’ experiences, some strange activity on the line leaves us feeling like the hatman was listening and interacting with us live in the moment!

    659: The Beast Of Bray Road

    659: The Beast Of Bray Road
    In episode 659: The Beast Of Bray Road, Lee Hample's encounters with the Beast of Bray Road and the mysterious phenomena on his property read like a supernatural thriller. He has amassed thousands of pieces of evidence, including pictures of the creature, eerie black and white mists, and even a UFO with an otherworldly being inside. Lee has also experienced multiple instances of missing time, deepening the mysterious lore. He firmly believes in the existence of portals and multiverses, supported by scientific theories and his own photographs of portals and translucent figures. The strange happenings are not isolated to his land; neighbors around Bray Road have also reported similar sightings and experiences, suggesting a peculiar connection to this area. Lee ponders the possibility that these phenomena may be interdimensional or tied to advanced technology beyond our current comprehension. Eyewitness testimonies lend further credibility to his claims, as does the presence of orbs and the peculiar hitchhiker effect. Lee's experiences open a window into a world of advanced technology and interdimensional entities, challenging our understanding of reality and hinting at forces far beyond human knowledge.

    Well-Traveled With AAA ~ Haunted Hotel

    October 18, 2022 ~ When you travel, you typically have some idea of the people who will be joining you. Perhaps your family, your partner, a handful of friends … even like-minded strangers on a group tour.  Every so often however, when you get to your hotel, someone may turn up out of the blue. Or more to the point, out of another dimension. Today’s guest already knows something about that. As director of sales and marketing for the Best Western Plus Windsor Hotel in the storied town of Americus, Georgia, Divya Patel represents a beautiful property that’s briming with not only historical significance, but also … reportedly … turn-of-the-century ghosts.

Andrew talks about orbs, UFOS, being touched by an angel, and being touched on his foot by something while in bed. But I was personally fascinated by his experiences with a recurring dream that may have been manifesting halfway across the world in Africa. As he was telling me about his dreams, I recalled reading about the strange creatures in them, and when I shared that information with him, he was absolutely shocked!

    Ep.245: Kirsty Maynor - Life Changes That Really Works

    Ep.245: Kirsty Maynor - Life Changes That Really Works

    “Start with the steps you don't want to take. -David White”

    “People often get caught up in jumping to something without really knowing why it matters to them or what's important to them.”

    Kirsty Maynor is a change expert and the author of the recently released book, "Untangled: A Practical and Inspirational Guide to Change You Choose and Change You Don't". She’s an expert in helping individuals navigate and master both chosen and thrust-upon changes in life. Despite working in change management for 25 years, Kirsty faced a challenge in 2008 when she unexpectedly lost her job. This experience led her to reassess her approach to change and discover the true essence of making lasting life changes.

    Kirsty’s message is about reflecting on her own missteps and facing the reality of her situation, she advises the importance of adapting to life changes without being overly prescriptive. It’s also important to have the need for intention, courage, and continuous steps forward, regardless of the prescribed sequence.

    Experimenting and adapting an entrepreneurial mindset when navigating change means you’re trying different approaches, learning from failures, and being adaptable. Drawing parallels between personal change and entrepreneurial endeavors. Untangling the inherent messiness of life involves recognizing and embracing imperfections. The goal is not to achieve perfect order but to pull threads apart, allowing you to weave your chosen aspects into a meaningful future.

    It’s significant to have clarity in navigating change, stating that, having a clear understanding of your core values and intentions is crucial. You have to recognize the messiness, experiment, and fail fast to be resilient and adaptable.

    Check out Kirsty’s book Untangled. You can find at untangledbook.com or on Amazon.
