Episode Description
Nathaniel Gillis returns to Through A Glass Darkly for one of his most personal conversations yet. In this episode, he shares the origin story behind his path into demonology and paranormal research: growing up in a strict Pentecostal environment, witnessing unusual religious phenomena, and enduring years of terrifying experiences in what he describes as a haunted house. The discussion explores shadow figures, bilocation, divine intervention, spiritual warfare, and Gillis’s larger theory that hauntings, alien-abduction motifs, and demonic encounters may be different masks worn by a single adaptive intelligence.
