In Memory of:
Shadow Walker R.I.P.
December 17, 1945 - May 13, 2007
E-Mail Interview
We did this interview for you the viewer to get a look into the man behind 'The Borderland' Internet Radio Show. Being that he does the show with a secret identity, made asking him questions a bit difficult, but here you get some answers!
Q. Where did you get the name 'Shadow Walker?'
A. I received the name Shadowalker in a dream. Although I do not claim to be Native American, some friends of mine, who are Native American, immediately identified the experience as a "dream quest", and seemed impressed. I think the name may also be my code name. It is possible that I have some Cherokee in me, since my family origins go back to the 1700's in North Carolina.
Q. What can you tell us about your life experiences, growing up, places you've been or seen?
A. I was raised in a military family, and have lived in a variety of places in North America and Europe. When asked where I am "from", I usually say, "Most everywhere." or "Nowhere".
Q. When did your interest in the paranormal begin & why?
A. I have been interested in the paranormal for as long as I can remember. When I was only about 3 or 4 years old, I discovered that I could relieve other people's pain by touching them, and concentrating on their "energy". Later on, I discovered that I had a psychokinetic ability, and I have always been able to "see" with my mind rather than my eyes.
Q. When did your interest in conspiracies begin & why?
A. I got into the habit of reading the newspapers when I was about 10 or eleven years old. I was already very interested in history at that time. I was immediately struck by the total irrationality of human affairs. Events were so counter productive and even destructive, that they made no sense to me. It was then that I began to suspect that something was "messing up the mixture"!
Q. How did you start doing 'The Borderland' internet radio show & why?
A. I met the man who eventually began KPAH radio shortly after moving to Pahrump. In conversations, he found out that I knew "things". He tried to get me to do a show for over 2 years before I finally agreed to do one. I had been operating in what I call "survival mode" for most of the previous 25 years. Finally, in 2002, I decided that I would no longer do that. Sometimes it's safer in the standing in the sunshine, than it is hiding in the shadows!
Q. What is your show about? ( What does it consist of? )
A. The lead-in/introduction to the show says it all ---- "Welcome to the Borderland, the Fringe, where the difference between fantasy and reality becomes blurred, indistinct, and perhaps even non-existant!" We inhabit an incredibly rich, diverse, and complex reality. The British Science Fiction and Fantasy author, Michael Moorcock, coined the term "multiverse", (at least I think he originated it!), a term which I find very useful in describing the world in which we live. Many modern physicists have also begun using this term. Much that exists in the multiverse is outside the realm of "normal experience - ie the so-called "supernatural", a term which I detest! If it is it's natural! The para-normal, cryptozoolgy, ancient mysteries & anomalies, UFO's, conspiracies, government "black projects" & cover-ups, and always, metaphysics and the true nature of reality. These and anything else that occurs to me in this vein, are the subjects of The Borderland.
Q. Who has been on your show? ( Whom have you interviewed? )
A. Although the show is primarily a "news" show where I report and comment, rather than an interview show, I do have guests from time to time. This is dependent on what is going on in the world at the time, and who I can talk into being interviewed!
Some guests:
1. Al Bielek - survivor of the Philadelphia Experiment.
2. Duncan O'Finoian - a victim/survivor of the Ultimate Warrior Program.
3. "Stargazer' (true identity withheld) - victim of the Government's Project Talent.
4. Lana McGlasson (who has her own show now) - professional psychic.
5. Valdemar Valerian - founder of Leading Edge Research Group, and author of the Matrix 1,2, 3, 4, & 5 books (which I highly recommend!).
6. Chad Lewis - psychology graduate student from Wisconsin, who did his Masters Thesis on student attitudes about the para-normal, and met with faculty resistance about the subject.
7. Michael E. Salla, PhD. - creator of www.exopolitics.org, and author of an excellent series of scholarly papers on the subject of extra-terrestrial prescence on Earth, and what to do about it.
Q. What have you found out through said interviews? ( From research/people you've interviewed, etc. )
A. That the world is really a much stranger and more dangerous place than most people realize.
Q. Whom would you really like to get on your show & interview?
A. Bob Lazar. Of course, if your furnish me with a time machine, there are a lot of now deceased people I would love to interview!
Q. Have you ever stumbled upon a story that has surprised you?
A. Not really - nothing much surprises me anymore!
Q. Have you ever stumbled upon a story that you couldn't continue for lack of evidence?
A. All the time! The very nature of my material mitigates against accumulating much in the way of evidence.
Q. How do you go about gathering evidence, witnesses, & information, (research), to do each show?
A. Sometimes I just search the internet for inspiration, other times I have a subject in mind, and gather material. A lot of my material is stuff I already knew!
Q. Do you think your show has helped other's to become more aware of the Paranormal/Conspiracies?
A. I certainly hope so! That's why I do it!
Q. Being that your show is 'Live,' can listeners get tapes, ( recordings ), of past shows?
A. I'm glad you asked me that! CD's are available of past shows for $7.95 per show which includes "media mail" postage within the USA. For overseas shipping, postage is extra & depends on where you live.
Q. When does the show air on the net & where/when?
A. The Borderland Airs ( if that's what we should call it! ) Sunday evenings from 1900-2000 Pacific Time. The show physically originates from the studio of KPAH radio, in Pahrump, Nevada - which is approximately 35-50 miles from Area 51, as the crow flies.
Q. What other interests do you have within & out of the paranormal?
A. This is really too large a question for such a brief interview. There isn't anything I know of that I don't have some interest in. History, economics, geopolitics, physics, ritual magick, theology, philosophy, military affairs - tactics and strategy, etc etc etc. See what I mean? There's just too much!
Q. Any comments for our viewers?
A. Yeah, a few.
- Einstein said that the universe is not only stranger that we imagine, it's stranger than we can imagine! Man was he right!!
- Our lives are like school. We are incarnate so that we might learn, experience, and grow as beings. So, go forth and grow!
- Human existence is a tragi-comedy. It can be full of pain and sorrow. But it also can be filled with joy and happiness so sublime that you can barely stand it.
And lastly, God's real name must be Murphy! Why else do you think that the truest scientific principle ever discovered is Murphy's Law?!?
Thank you Shadow Walker for this interview! We hope your show stays on the net for years to come, bringing light to the world's mysteries!
Listen to 'The Borderland' on internet radio!
Your host: Shadowalker
