  • Over the past several years, rumours and reports have resurfaced of a massive pyramid structure said to be hidden underground in a chamber beneath the ice, snow and rock of the remote Alaska mountains. Towering over 1000 feet high, this alleged enigma remains buried between remote mountain ranges in a vast ice-covered landscape. If this structure does exist, it could quite possibly connect us to an unknown past and perhaps to dimensions beyond our own. Join us on Into The Portal, as we venture into the remote wilds of the Alaskan mountains for a discussion of a mysterious megalith known as The Dark Pyramid.

  • Hello ITP Friends! We have missed you all! Since it has been a while we have a special archival release for you all from the temporarily paused The Mystorian's Podcast. A historical mystery with many twists and turns featuring Archaeologist Nikolaus Cox!

    Beginning in the Twelfth Century stories began to circulate in medieval Europe of a mysterious man called Prester John. Despite his unassuming name, John was rumoured to be the saviour of Christendom, a mysterious and all-powerful ruler who was maybe the only thing standing between the Saracens and the Holy Land. He was a man the crusader kings counted as an ally without having ever met. He was a man whose existence saw popes and emperors deploy explorers and emissaries into the wilds of Central Asia in search of. But who Prester John really was is even stranger than the stories. The truth behind the legend is a bizarre tale that takes us from the walls of Jerusalem into the courts of the Mongol Kahns, and finally to the ancient Christain temples of the Kingdom of Abyssinia!

    Prepare for the maiden voyage of The Mystorians Podcast! Weird history and high strangeness awaits!

  • Throughout the long and muddled history of Extraterrestrial encounters humans have witnessed and cataloged strange events that have left modern UFO researchers both perplexed and fueled by inevitably conjured images of ancient humans seeing advanced craft coming from God Knows Where! The shapes, sizes and overall appearance of such craft and beings almost always described in bizarre terms of the day. Some of which leave us scratching our heads as to why they were there and where they came from... Welcome Back Into The Portal everyone! As we venture deep into the ancient world in search of encounters and evidence of bizarre Alien Airships of Antiquity.

  • Sure, we know what month it is! Keeping the Halloween vibes rolling for you all - halfway into November! ;) A classic haunting from a classic place... Victoria, B.C. The capital city of our home province, and a place saturated in paranormal events and hauntings. In particular, the Empress Hotel of Government Street. Known for a multitude of spirits that continue to roam its century+ old halls and over 460 rooms. This time on ITP we discuss a case of murder and a transplanted spirit, the unfortunate and untimely demises of certain residents and employees over the history of this storied place, and speculate on everything from the thinning of a veil in such places, the idea of layered dimensions in the "spirit world," & the notion of echo's versus entities in paranormal events... Join us! As we take a special look at the Spectral Empress Hotel as well as a Halloween roundup of some of our favourite moments and frights from this past Halloween season of entertainment :)
