TENTANG EPISODE INI
In this sixth and final part of my series, “Personal Paranormal Encounters,” I welcome paranormal investigator, radio host, and author Paul Eno. Paul was one of the first paranormal investigators of the early 1970s, beginning while he was studying for the priesthood. Paul graduated from two seminaries, but was expelled from a third about a year before ordination because of his paranormal work. Today, he is an award-winning New England journalist, and the author of, or contributor to, 10 books. Paul also holds a rare Ph.B degree in philosophy. Paul serves on the Research Committee of the Consciousness and Contact Research Institute and on the Experiencer Resource Team of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). He has appeared on the Travel, Discovery and History Channels. Among his early mentors are the legendary (though very controversial), first-generation "grandparents of ghost hunting" Ed & Lorraine Warren, of 'The Conjuring' fame.
In this episode, we discuss Paul’s very unique life trajectory, beginning with a tragic event when he was just 7 years old, continuing through his entering seminary training at only 14, and developing his own theory about ghosts and purgatory at 17. It was his writing about this subject that captured the attention of Lorraine Warren and began Paul’s friendship and working relationship with the Warrens.
During his years working in the field as a paranormal investigator (well before that was a trendy thing to do), Paul combined his education in theology and philosophy with his hands-on experiences and his burgeoning interest in quantum mechanics and developed an elegant, comprehensive theory about paranormal phenomena that centers on multiverse theory. We discuss this in detail here.

A note about this series: I’m covering this topic for the same reason I cover any topic, and that is to stimulate deeper thought with these interesting conversations with interesting people. While I have a lifelong interest in the paranormal, I make no claim of truth or fiction, fact or fantasy. I simply take my guests at their word when they say they are reporting their personal experiences truthfully and offer them the same respect as any guest deserves. Honestly, I don’t know what’s up with these phenomena, but I do find them worthy of spending some time investigating before even trying to form an opinion. My opinion doesn’t matter here, and neither does yours. What I’m hoping to accomplish is to inspire a desire in you to seek more information, work your brain, and arrive at your own informed opinions.

This episode’s parting thought is a well known quote from by F. Scott Fitzgerald: “It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.”
