Man's hubris would have you believe that the world is mapped, it is explained, it has been conquered. But many would disagree. We believe the world still has mystery. That there are layers upon layers of the world that remain unexplored and unexplained. That there is still magic and mystery all around us.. if only we would open our eyes and our hearts to understand. Paranormal Portal explores the many mysteries that still persist. Discussing theory, testimonial and possibility in an open forum for all to take part..

From Albert Ostman's terrifying claim of being carried away in his sleeping bag by a family of Sasquatch deep in the mountains of British Columbia, to the haunting story of Zana, the mysterious wild woman captured in the Caucasus Mountains and believed by many to be one of the legendary Alma, to disturbing Yeren traditions emerging from the remote forests of China, tonight's episode explores the uneasy boundary between humanity and the unknown. These are not simply stories of creatures glimpsed from a distance. These are stories about contact, captivity, isolation, and the unsettling possibility that something intelligent may still move through the wild places of the world beyond the reach of modern certainty.
