Summary
FROM THE CRYPT are Bonus Episodes that are built on key moments from the Podcast Back Catalog.
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!

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody. It's been a little while. I took a break between season six and starting season |
| 0:07.1 | seven, just for sanity's sake. Life has been incredibly busy lately and full of activity and |
| 0:14.3 | me trying to keep up. So I needed to take a few weeks and just kind of collect myself and focus on |
| 0:20.1 | other aspects of my life |
| 0:21.8 | that needed attention. |
| 0:23.5 | But I wanted to put out this episode and there's a pretty good reason why I hope you guys |
| 0:30.8 | agree. |
| 0:31.2 | And maybe those of you that have been through the archives of the show past seasons have |
| 0:36.6 | already heard this. But I think several of you have not. |
| 0:41.4 | Today's episode is one of those that has been coming up a lot for me lately. |
| 0:46.6 | I've been doing a lot of interviews on other people's shows, and inevitably the question |
| 0:51.3 | comes up, what is one episode that really stands out for you and |
| 0:56.3 | was an incredible episode? And quite honestly, they all are. Every episode to me is, is wonderful and |
| 1:05.1 | amazing. And I'm very proud of each and everyone. Everybody's story is incredible. So I need to preface that |
| 1:14.6 | first and foremost because anybody that's willing to come forward and talk about their experiences |
| 1:20.0 | is amazing to me. And I'm honored by that trust that they put in me to do it on my show. So that being said, though, this episode that I'm about to play for you is one that |
| 1:34.3 | blew me away and a little bit of background. |
| 1:38.1 | And I go through it again at the intro of the show, the actual interview. |
| 1:42.5 | But for a long time, I was absolutely, and still am, fascinated |
| 1:48.0 | with the encounters that come up, and they are incredibly rare, but where people are sure |
| 1:54.8 | that they are encountering actual vampires. |
| 1:59.0 | And I've heard a few stories through the years, but I was bound and determined to find one |
