Happy New Year and welcome back to Studio A! This is the first episode in a new series called, “Personal Paranormal Encounters.” You’ll hear fascinating stories from six people who have lived with and through some extraordinary experiences. Today, I welcome Mike Stevens, who shares with us his lifelong experiences with UFO sightings, abduction, missing time, and family history connected to this phenomenon.

 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.

 Mike Stevens is a seasoned paranormal researcher and investigator. His own experiences started around the age of three, and have been ongoing ever since. Dealing with these experiences has led him to help other experiencers overcome their trauma, as well as his own. He has worked to change the stigma surrounding the abduction phenomena by promoting public awareness of the subject and by encouraging and supporting others through his Granite Sky Services organization. 

Mike has been interviewed by newspapers, television, and radio about his involvement in the paranormal and UFO communities where he lives in New Hampshire as well as internationally. He has become a trusted source for New Hampshire’s UFO history. He is also the subject of author, Nomar Slevik’s book “Granite Skies” which documents most of his experiences.
