2 MAR 2025 · Have you ever walked into a place and felt like you had stepped into another time?
Could time be more fluid than we think, allowing us to slip between moments without warning?
Welcome to a new episode of the Magical Professions Podcast, where we delve into the mysteries of time slips—those strange moments when people report accidentally stepping into the past or glimpsing the future, only to return as if nothing happened.
We are joined by John Olsen, a renowned paranormal researcher and author of the Stranger Bridgerland series. Over the years, John has collected countless firsthand accounts of unexplained events, including ghostly encounters, glitches in the matrix, and reports of time behaving in ways that defy logic.
In this episode, we explore:
What are time slips, and could they reveal a hidden profession within the magical reality—those who navigate, control, or unknowingly experience distortions in time?
What stories has John uncovered from people who claim to have slipped through time, and do these experiences suggest the existence of "time-benders"—individuals with a unique connection to time anomalies?
Are time slips mere tricks of perception, true paranormal phenomena, or evidence that time is more fluid than we assume? Could there be those who work, knowingly or unknowingly, as intermediaries between different timelines?
Join us as we unravel the mystery of time slips through the lens of magical professions, exploring the roles, legends, and potential abilities of those who may interact with time in ways beyond our understanding.
About the Podcast Guest:
John Olsen is a paranormal researcher, author, and chronicler of the unexplained, best known for his Stranger Bridgerland book series. With a lifelong passion for investigating the unknown, John has spent years collecting and documenting firsthand accounts of paranormal encounters, including ghostly visitations, cryptid sightings, UFO encounters, and time slips.
Growing up in a home filled with strange and unexplainable phenomena, John’s interest in the paranormal began at an early age. Over the years, he has dedicated himself to interviewing individuals who have experienced bizarre and reality-defying events, compiling their stories into engaging, thought-provoking books that explore the thin veil between our world and the unknown.
His Stranger Bridgerland series has become a trusted source for those fascinated by true paranormal experiences, covering encounters with "glitches in the matrix," time anomalies, and unexplained phenomena that challenge our understanding of reality.
John is an active voice in the paranormal community, frequently sharing his insights through podcast appearances, interviews, and social media, where he connects with those who have experienced mysteries beyond explanation.
