Todd Chapman: A Conduit for the Unseen

Since my teenage years, encounters with the unexplained—aliens, ghosts, Bigfoot, and other phenomena—have profoundly shaped my life. A near-death experience in 2008 marked a pivotal turning point, leading me to become a contact guide in Sedona, Arizona. For nearly two years, I facilitated intentional encounters with non-human intelligence and other extraordinary realities, guiding groups through meditative and awareness-based practices to bridge the ordinary and the extraordinary. These experiences often varied based on each guest's openness, readiness, and energetic state, with some achieving multiple forms of contact in a single night—and remarkably, many continued having profound encounters long after our time together.

This path evolved into the Paranormal Bedtime Stories podcast and book series. What began with me retelling vivid encounters I'd overheard or remembered over the years grew organically when I invited listeners to email their own stories—sparking a rich exchange of submissions that now form the heart of the show. Today, I preserve true accounts gathered during travels—in casual conversations with waitstaff, bartenders, hotel staff, cashiers, tourists, and fellow seekers. I approach these mysteries with genuine curiosity and childlike wonder, thrilled by the intriguing tales that arrive in my inbox. To respect privacy, I keep identities anonymous and locations vague unless explicitly permitted otherwise.

Through my work, I seek to illustrate that the paranormal—though not universally accepted—carries profound personal and spiritual significance for those who live it. My role is never to validate or debunk; it's to honor and preserve these narratives exactly as they are shared, in the tellers' own voices.
