We Define Paranormal.
We are individuals who are passionate about the paranormal and our curiosity runs deep. We dive headfirst into each topic, exploring legends, history, and first-hand accounts which guide us on a journey to expose the myths and find the truth behind paranormal events.
For the last forteen years, we’ve dedicated our time and our energy into learning about the mysteries that are beyond the scope of scientific understanding. As our curiosity grew, so too did our passion. Scientifically minded, each topic/case we study is filtered through logical thinking and practical application. After completing our study, we then present our findings to our listeners in a clear, concise manner.
Hosts
Erik is a founder, producer, and host of ParaTruth Radio. With 18 years of experience within the radio industry, he has committed himself to bringing the very best to listeners around the world. He started his podcast journey hosting and producing Nightstalkers Radio on BlogTalkRadio, which was later picked up by the Para-X Radio Network. After some careful considerations and the decision to part ways with Justin, Nightstalkers was terminated to make room for a reformed version of the show at which point Forgotten Truth was created. The show was designed to break the veil between a Christian perspective of the paranormal and the practitioners of other religions, occults, and secular thinking. An experiment to see whether the "religious", occultist and the scientist can have a fair, productive conversation about the paranormal without tearing each other down. The show had great success in bringing people together from various walks of life, proving that respecting each other's beliefs can open a door to great conversation and better an understanding of individuals.
Forgotten Truth aired for one year, after which it too was terminated in order to allow Erik to pursue a dream in filmmaking. Yet, however far Erik tried to push himself away from podcasting and the paranormal, it was never far behind him. In 2014, Erik and Justin reunited to bring the very best of their experiences back to paranormal podcasting and so ParaTruth Radio was born.
When not on-air, Erik is often found writing screenplays, developing paranormal documentaries, and working on digital content for PTR. He brings a Christian perspective to the show along with his knowledge in Christian studies, demonology, and the occult.
For Justin, the paranormal isn't just about finding answers. It's about asking questions, challenging beliefs, and exploring the mysteries that connect us all.
With 18 years of experience in radio, Justin has dedicated his career to bringing compelling conversations, fascinating stories, and fresh perspectives to listeners around the world.
His broadcasting journey began with *Nightstalkers Radio* on BlogTalkRadio, which eventually found a home on the Para-X Radio Network. He later launched *Parasight Radio* on the Shark Radio Network before stepping away from the microphone to pursue another passion: writing.
That passion led him to publish two books and establish the BisMan Writers Guild, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting and uplifting writers throughout North Dakota.
But the unexplained has a way of calling you back.
In 2014, Justin reunited with longtime friend and co-host Erik to create *ParaTruth Radio*, bringing two different perspectives together to explore the strange, mysterious, and sometimes unbelievable. He later expanded his broadcasting experience with *Beyond Reason* in 2017 before shifting his focus back to ParaTruth, now known as **ParaTruth: Reborn**.
Justin approaches the paranormal with a healthy balance of curiosity, skepticism, and an open mind. While his personal beliefs lean toward traditional explanations, such as ghosts being the spirits of those who have passed, he believes the most meaningful discoveries come from listening to different perspectives and being willing to question what we think we know.
When he's not behind the microphone, you'll likely find him doing what he loves just as much: creating new worlds through novels and short stories.
Because for Justin, the greatest mysteries aren't always the ones we solve. They're the ones that inspire us to keep asking questions.
