5/26/26 - From Childhood Shadow Beings to Near Death Experiences | Michael Kopf’s Paranormal Journey

Michael Kopf, a paranormal investigator and Reiki master, shares his lifelong journey into the unexplained, starting with a supernatural encounter at age two. From shadow beings and UFO sightings to near-death experiences and energy healing, he discusses the full spectrum of high-strangeness phenomena.
Michael Kopf's paranormal journey began at age two when he fell down a vent shaft and had a telepathic conversation with a being who discussed his future gifts. He later experienced a second fall where a being nicked his eyebrow as a reminder. These early encounters led him from skepticism, fueled by childhood cartoons like Scooby-Doo, to becoming a paranormal investigator. His first investigation was at Yorktown Memorial Hospital. He shares a humorous story about a spirit at the Old Runnels County Jail that sat on his lap and caressed his face. Michael explains how spirits can drain camera batteries and cause equipment malfunctions, including a body cam that stopped recording for 23 seconds. He became a Reiki master as a teenager, rediscovering its deeper applications in his 30s, and uses it to sense energy signatures and block spiritual attacks. He clarifies that most spirits are not demonic but lonely or angry, and true demonic possession is rare. He also discusses his upcoming book on death and the afterlife from a metaphysical perspective.
