From Skepticism to Belief
00:01:39
Lee Hatfield
Okay, AJ, so I always ask people to start at the very beginning. How did you get interested into the paranormal?
00:01:46
Aj Capasso
It's actually... Kind of a crazy story. I was actually a complete non-believer. Thought it was completely a joke. Thought it was fake. Thought the all the shows were just a joke, that there was no such thing.
00:01:59
Aj Capasso
Had very little faith because my grandfather 2001, when i was 12 years old, had passed away from lung cancer.
00:02:02
Lee Hatfield
Thank you.
00:02:06
Aj Capasso
And I just had a fear. You know, I just thought there was going to be a miracle that was going to happen. You know, and being a young kid, being naive, not understanding the situation, how serious lung cancer is.
00:02:16
Aj Capasso
And he passed away right in front of me and it changed every way that I felt about everything for a long time. And as I got older, ended up basically I got hurt at work, ended up getting prescribed a bunch of painkillers.
00:02:30
Aj Capasso
Then the opioid epidemic started. The doctor cut me off the opiates and i started to get really sick. Didn't understand the reason why. One thing led to another, found out that I was addicted to painkillers.
00:02:42
Aj Capasso
instead of going and getting help, because back then the doctor wouldn't give me help. They just kind of tossed you to the side and said, you know, go through whatever. And, kept using, um, it got worse, worse and worse.
00:02:55
Aj Capasso
And I started to, have overdoses. overdosed 12 times, uh, in one year. and on my 12th time that I overdosed, I left my body.
00:03:05
Aj Capasso
saw myself lying on the ground. remember walking out into my grandmother's. She had like a we would call like a porch area, but it was like a closed in porch area.
00:03:17
Aj Capasso
And I'm watching TV and I'm sitting there about to eat ice cream. And next minute, I know I'd fallen asleep. And next minute, I know I'm standing or floating. It felt like it felt like standing. But i as I looked down, I was floating.
00:03:29
Aj Capasso
And I see my body on the ground and I see two paramedics working on me to give me CPR. And I'm like, I click in my head like, oh, my gosh, you know, like that's me on the ground. But how is that me? I'm standing here and I couldn't wrap my head around it at first.
00:03:44
Aj Capasso
And then the minute that I would think, say, if I would want to be over the left shoulder of the paramedic, the right shoulder of the right paramedic, in their mind, in their thoughts, everything I could do all at once simultaneously just by a single thought.
00:04:01
Aj Capasso
And I'd be able to understand and comprehend everything simultaneously from every angle, whatever I wanted to be in the room. After I experienced that, people always ask me, did you, did you see any other spirits? Did you see any other things?
00:04:16
Aj Capasso
During that time, i felt somebody with me. i did not see any other person with me, like a loved one, an angel, nothing along those lines, but I ended up getting sucked into what I would call a tunnel. And in this tunnel, it was like going through hyperspace.
00:04:33
Aj Capasso
looked like stars were flying by you. But during this tunnel experience, I would get flash images that would show up in my face really quickly. And it was a life review.
00:04:45
Aj Capasso
But the life review is different than what we're taught growing up. The life review wasn't a life review Of God judging you. Or a being judging you. For your wrongs.
00:04:57
Aj Capasso
It was you putting on the glasses. Of somebody else. And you get to see. The people that you hurt. But you get to see it.
00:05:08
Aj Capasso
Feel it. Experience it. Through their eyes. And that tormentation of that. Tormented me. Till after. When I end up coming back. And I'll explain later on.
Near-Death Experience and Spiritual Awakening
00:05:21
Aj Capasso
But that was a very hard realization to feel what I felt. One of them that stuck out to me was a girl in fifth grade. Her name was Christine. And she was a bigger girl. And she had a love letter in her pocket. it fell out during class.
00:05:36
Aj Capasso
The teacher picked it up. And the teacher read it out loud. And it was a love letter to me. and I was with all the cool kids. you know So they all started of making fun of me. And I stupidly went. And I...
00:05:49
Aj Capasso
basically broke this poor girl down by making fun of her. And I'll never forget my, the way that she felt in what I saw in that review. And, then all of a sudden after the review, it opened up to this beautiful landscape. The best way I can describe this, this place that I went to was if you were to go to a Canadian wilderness where no man has touched yet and nature is just beaming,
00:06:18
Aj Capasso
The colors were vibrant. The flowers had colors on it that like i i I can't even tell you what color it looked like because i can't there's no color that can replicate it here on Earth.
00:06:33
Aj Capasso
like There was colors I'd never even seen before, but they everything was so vibrant. There was animals that I'd never seen before. One of the animals that I did, I did remember because i I knew of this animal was a mammoth.
00:06:46
Aj Capasso
I did see a mammoth, which I thought was so amazingly interesting and so amazingly, you know, just awesome to experience. But then as I'm in this place and I was only in it for maybe like to me, it felt like 10 seconds, 30 seconds. I was approached by this light being and this light being was so bright. I couldn't look into it. I knew it was a figure of a person.
00:07:11
Aj Capasso
But it was beaming with such light that it was blinding me and I couldn't look into it. And telepathically, I heard a voice, a male's voice say, you know, basically, why are you back here? It's not your time.
00:07:23
Aj Capasso
You need to go back. And right and before I had a chance to say anything, I was immediately sucked back down into the tunnel and the paramedics had hit me with the paddles. And when they hit me with the paddles, I had sat
Overcoming Addiction and Embracing Faith
00:07:35
Aj Capasso
up because I jolted back into my body.
00:07:37
Aj Capasso
And I just started screaming, where am I? Where am I? And they held me down and they, they kept telling me, oh, it's because of the drugs. It's because of the drugs. But then I said to him, I said, no, I said, I saw you guys working on me.
00:07:50
Aj Capasso
I said, and this person said this to you and your response was this. And you were thinking the opposite during that moment. I forget exactly what it was that they were talking about.
00:08:02
Aj Capasso
cause it's been so long. It's happened in 2014. They just went blank. Their face went completely white. Their mouth dropped. They didn't talk about it.
00:08:14
Aj Capasso
They brought me to the hospital. I didn't mention it again. i ended up ripping everything out. ended up walking out of the hospital and I just thought I screwed myself up. I thought maybe it was the drugs, whatever.
00:08:24
Aj Capasso
And I started having experiences. And then that's when I started to believe in the paranormal.
00:08:30
Lee Hatfield
And there is me expecting a small story.
00:08:33
Aj Capasso
Yeah.
00:08:34
Lee Hatfield
But my God, dude, like now, what makes that even more interesting?
00:08:36
Aj Capasso
Yeah.
00:08:41
Lee Hatfield
I was 13 years as a paramedic in the UK.
00:08:44
Aj Capasso
Wow.
00:08:45
Lee Hatfield
So I've been on the other end being that paramedic.
00:08:51
Aj Capasso
So you know.
00:08:52
Lee Hatfield
so Yeah, but I've never had anybody say what you just said to me
00:08:59
Aj Capasso
Yeah.
00:08:59
Lee Hatfield
But I've had a couple of experiences. One of them, long story short, we brought this guy into hospital that was on the brink of life, death, whichever way you want to put call it.
00:09:12
Lee Hatfield
And as we pulled into the hospital, I went, I said, okay, we're here now, fella. And he'd had his eyes shut the entire time, looks across at me, puts his hand on mine and went like, they're there.
00:09:23
Lee Hatfield
Like everything's okay now. And then he died like five minutes later.
00:09:25
Aj Capasso
Wow. Oh my gosh.
00:09:29
Lee Hatfield
So it's like for you to experience that, I was going to try and build up to this because I knew about your background. And I thought, oh, I'll go through that i'll go through your other stuff first.
00:09:37
Aj Capasso
Yeah.
00:09:40
Lee Hatfield
But no, we've gone straight in both feet. so let's but So let's carry on.
00:09:42
Aj Capasso
Sorry. Drowned you right away. Yeah.
00:09:47
Lee Hatfield
Yeah, it is. Okay, that's it. We're done. Bye-bye. Okay, so when you were having your out-of-body experience,
00:09:49
Aj Capasso
Yeah.
00:09:56
Lee Hatfield
You've mentioned some of the sensations we're going through, but was it kind of a peaceful or a fearful kind of experience?
00:10:05
Aj Capasso
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. they Okay, so what it feels like is it feels like At first, when you're outside the body and you're seeing your body, you're not feeling anything. There's no emotion. There's no nothing. At least I didn't feel any emotion. I was just kind of realizing what was going on. Maybe i was in shock. I don't really know how that works. But I know that the minute that I was starting to be carried towards going up into this tunnel, this wrapping of love, this unconditional love, it's a love that I can't even describe.
00:10:40
Aj Capasso
It's like more than what a mother could give a child that's born in her arms. It's more than what a girlfriend can give to a boyfriend during their first kiss or your first love or anything.
00:10:53
Aj Capasso
It just wrapped around me and I felt so peaceful, so loved, so worthy. So everything that I didn't feel here, everything that I struggle with, my insecurities here, all wiped away.
00:11:08
Aj Capasso
And I just knew that I was loved and that everything was going to be okay.
Founding Coventry Circle Paranormal
00:11:13
Aj Capasso
And I actually didn't want to come back because of how good it felt.
00:11:18
Lee Hatfield
Jess, I wish people like you would not make me lost for words. it's It's happened a couple of times and I just go, am I going to say now?
00:11:31
Aj Capasso
right.
00:11:31
Aj Capasso
right
00:11:31
Lee Hatfield
But I interviewed a guy a couple of months ago who was on the TV show Project Afterlife.
00:11:39
Aj Capasso
Okay.
00:11:39
Lee Hatfield
And he was one of the he was one of the present ah ah presenters. But he had a medical background. He was a firefighter paramedic. But then he was also a minister.
00:11:50
Aj Capasso
Wow.
00:11:50
Lee Hatfield
So you could kind of get the experience from the medical world and the religious world.
00:11:57
Aj Capasso
Yeah.
00:11:58
Lee Hatfield
So has your out of body experience changed your beliefs towards religion or yeah have how have your beliefs changed since your experience?
00:12:12
Aj Capasso
from what I experienced, basically I, when I tell my experience, I give a really generalized thing to get through the whole thing kind of quickly because it's, there's a lot that I did feel and experience, but from my experience, um, near death experience, one thing that I now do. And I work with my guides with, when I do spirit communication work is I always ask them to present things to me in a scientific way.
00:12:41
Aj Capasso
Because one thing that I learned on the other side was, is that God is not what I was brought up and taught in the Catholic way that I was taught. It is a source of consciousness energy.
00:12:54
Aj Capasso
And the best, the way that it was described to me on the other side when I was over there was, and this was confirmed through spirit box sessions that we did. We did experiments, which I'll explain later to you But they said, it's basically like this.
00:13:08
Aj Capasso
If you take a cup, you fill it with water, and then you put plastic wrap over the top in that you represent the water as the consciousness energy of what we would call God.
00:13:20
Aj Capasso
You tip the glass over and you poke a small hole inside the plastic wrap, letting out little droplets of water. The little droplets of water are the extension of that source of energy, which is what we are.
00:13:35
Aj Capasso
So the source of energy that is God, that is the conscious energy that makes us who we are, that created this universe, that energy is inside of us. And we don't realize the potential, I believe, what we have inside of us and the power to create, manifest, and do certain things. So my belief has turned not into man-made religion anymore.
00:14:00
Aj Capasso
The first thing that I did do, though, after I got a bunch of brain scans after I had near death experience, because I didn't know if I had an experience at first or if I was chemically like they said, it was just drugs. It was a stupid, you know, mishap.
00:14:16
Aj Capasso
So I got a bunch of brain scans. And after a couple of them, they told me that I was fine. I was very lucky because I was without oxygen for a very long time before they got there. So I should have been brain dead.
00:14:27
Aj Capasso
But since that time, I've been leaning more towards a faith that's bigger than a book. Even though I took the time in the beginning to study multiple religions, all the mainstream religions, I still study this day because I believe it's very important to have a basis and a background, a foundation foundation um of a faith if you have one. Even if your higher power is a doorknob, it doesn't matter. You know what i mean?
00:14:54
Aj Capasso
But to me, it's just important to have that thing that you know that there's something greater than you. But To me, it's no longer the Bible that I look at and say, this is God. I look at it and it's so much more than that now.
00:15:08
Aj Capasso
So I lean more towards a scientific way because for my paranormal research, I try to want to be able to explain to skeptics in an energy frequency and vibration manner of the spirit world so that they can understand that what I'm speaking about is not fairytale real. You know, it's and it's real. It's not fairytale.
00:15:29
Aj Capasso
Because when you start talking to somebody and you go, oh, yeah, a demon showed up in my room last night and he had horns on his head. You know, people look at you like you're a nutcase when in reality, you know, I believe people are having experiences. But the way you describe it to them, they look at you like that's totally fake.
00:15:45
Aj Capasso
You know what I mean? But in reality, you know, I don't believe it is fake, you know.
00:15:47
Lee Hatfield
Yeah.
00:15:51
Lee Hatfield
and
00:15:52
Lee Hatfield
One thing that I enjoy about this podcast is the amount of different people, like we mentioned when we before we came on became live or we came recorded, but the amount of different stories that each person has.
00:16:08
Lee Hatfield
You can have five scenarios that encounter the same thing, but each story will still be different from the last.
00:16:15
Aj Capasso
Yeah.
00:16:17
Lee Hatfield
So one thing that...
00:16:18
Aj Capasso
Isn't it wild?
00:16:20
Lee Hatfield
It is. It's absolutely amazing. And that's what I love so much about this this environment.
00:16:24
Aj Capasso
Yeah.
00:16:26
Lee Hatfield
So being a paramedic, I've obviously shocked quite a few people.
00:16:32
Aj Capasso
yeah
00:16:32
Lee Hatfield
Most of them, unfortunately, don't make it because you've got there too late or whatever. But I remember one guy, he was laid his bed and
00:16:38
Aj Capasso
Yeah.
00:16:43
Lee Hatfield
it was laid on his bed My crewmate was talking to his wife, an old guy, probably in his 70s. And as I got him to say, oh, dude, can you just roll over so I can examine you?
00:16:55
Lee Hatfield
He went into cardiac arrest. So what was actually quite funny at the time is like my colleague was called Steve and I went, hey, Steve, you got a minute? He went, what? And I went, just come here.
00:17:07
Lee Hatfield
What? I went, yeah, the guy's just arrested on us. And like both went, well, so so we have to do we have to do something.
00:17:13
Aj Capasso
Yeah, right?
00:17:15
Lee Hatfield
So we'd got the machine with us anyway. So I put the pads on him and shocked him. And he came back. And he's like, god damn, my chest really hurts.
00:17:25
Aj Capasso
Yeah.
00:17:25
Lee Hatfield
by well ive I've just put 300 volts through you or yeah whatever it was. So this boils down to my next question. You say that you were jolted back into your body after they shocked you.
00:17:37
Aj Capasso
Yes.
00:17:38
Lee Hatfield
Did you feel like chest pain where they'd shocked you?
00:17:41
Aj Capasso
I'm
00:17:42
Lee Hatfield
Yeah.
00:17:42
Aj Capasso
So happy you asked this question. When I got jolted back in my body, it was excruciating. My, like just my soul going back into my body was excruciating. My chest did hurt though. It was weird that you said that I never put two and two together till you just said it. Now my chest did hurt, but I didn't put two and two together that it had to do with the paddles.
00:18:02
Aj Capasso
But when I came in, when I got forced into my body and I sat up, the pain made me sit up because I was so, I was literally, I pulled an undertaker.
00:18:03
Lee Hatfield
Yeah.
00:18:11
Aj Capasso
You know, in wrestling, I literally just went boom and I just sat up on them.
00:18:13
Lee Hatfield
Yeah. Yeah. yeah
00:18:15
Aj Capasso
It probably scared them and pooped and made them poop their pants, to be honest. But, you know.
00:18:18
Lee Hatfield
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I can relate. can relate. i can relate
00:18:22
Aj Capasso
Yeah, right? You know, yeah, you guys know. So, but yeah, I mean, it's like, you know, it's like when you hit someone with Narcan, they come back and they start ready to fight everybody. You know, you have you ever i don't know if you've ever witnessed that in Britain when you were a paramedic.
00:18:32
Lee Hatfield
Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
00:18:33
Aj Capasso
Yeah. Yeah, you know how it is.
00:18:34
Lee Hatfield
Yeah. yeah
00:18:35
Aj Capasso
So, yeah.
00:18:35
Lee Hatfield
Yeah. what we What we tended to do, which was probably so wrong, we if there was like a rookie cop or a rookie EMT with us, we'd just go, okay, just support the body while we give this injection.
00:18:48
Aj Capasso
No, you set him up?
00:18:49
Lee Hatfield
no no Yeah. hundred percent
00:18:52
Aj Capasso
Oh, my God.
00:18:53
Lee Hatfield
Oh, 100%. You don't get many perks in the job, but sort of like, just hold this guy down.
00:18:57
Aj Capasso
Yeah, you got to get him
00:18:59
Lee Hatfield
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
00:19:00
Aj Capasso
Yeah, that's awesome.
00:19:03
Lee Hatfield
yeah So yeah, it's so but anybody that hears this that used to work with going to you bastard. but Like, you do that on purpose.
00:19:09
Aj Capasso
Yeah, yeah, you're set right. Yep, you bastard, yep.
00:19:12
Lee Hatfield
Yeah. So how long did it really take you to understand exactly what had happened and then you come to terms with the fact that what you experienced was an out-of-body experience?
00:19:30
Aj Capasso
I would say that it took probably after the doctor appointment and scans, it probably took at least six months for me to really, you know, for me to really accept what was going on.
00:19:43
Aj Capasso
But I also didn't accept the fact of being able to tell anybody about it besides a immediate family and stuff like that, because I was worried and nervous of,
00:19:55
Aj Capasso
you know, what would happen? Like, what's what a doctor locked me up? Would I be, you know, considered a crazy person for saying what I you know, I was a little nervous, you know, so I kept it for a long time. And and I, I started doing when I started doing podcasting. That's when i released it and started talking about it. But through the time as time went on, I started to go every time I go to sleep, I would have I would have remembrance of that moment and that experience and certain things would come back to me in a different way where I would you know remember certain things that I didn't remember in the moment.
00:20:31
Aj Capasso
And that that freaked me out for a long time, to be honest. But the one thing that really freaked me out was i would start to feel energy the room like I could feel if it was a male or female energy.
00:20:45
Aj Capasso
where in the room it was. And i didn't understand what I was feeling because I couldn't see what I was feeling at first.
Intensified Paranormal Encounters
00:20:52
Aj Capasso
And then all of a sudden the activity in our house went through the roof.
00:20:56
Aj Capasso
I mean, pictures coming off the walls. There was a tomato can that flew across the room. It was literally 68 feet. This thing threw flew across the room.
00:21:07
Aj Capasso
Figure a tomato can, right, is on its side like this. And it can only roll forwards this way are forwards backwards. Well, it flew this way. Full tomato can.
00:21:18
Lee Hatfield
wow
00:21:18
Aj Capasso
Okay. Six to eight feet in the air, like just straight across. And my uncle had just saw a figure over his shoulder in our basement. So he was running up the kitchen stairs to come to us.
00:21:29
Aj Capasso
My whole family was right there in the kitchen. We all turned. And right before he ran up the stairs, got to the stairs, this tomato can flew so hard. It dented the wall. And we were having such experiences going on in the house that it was, it it was outrageous. I couldn't, I couldn't believe it. And I, at first I thought maybe it was me, you know, like my energy, because why am I feeling this? Why am I doing this?
00:21:52
Aj Capasso
But then I did my research and I, I, you know, looked more into a lot of things and that's when I started to realize, oh my gosh, you know, this is a spiritual thing that's going on and I need to talk to more people and all this stuff. And then that's when I gave the paranormal shot and, uh, you know,
00:22:10
Aj Capasso
It never stops since.
00:22:12
Lee Hatfield
Wow. so like You've done it again. You've make made me lose for words. so So stop coming out with really cool stories. make it make it Make him and lose my track.
00:22:24
Lee Hatfield
So at what point, you you mentioned that you you kept it from a lot of people, but you only started to talk about it once you started doing your podcast. But have you ever sat down with somebody who's renowned in our field or somebody who's renowned in the the medical or religious field that you've sat down and actually spoke to and explained to them what what happened to you?
00:22:56
Lee Hatfield
and then if you have, what kind of was their response back to you?
00:23:02
Aj Capasso
There's been many people that I've talked to spiritually, medically, a lot of things. And a lot of them say to me what you've been saying to me. you know You're the first person that's left me speechless.
00:23:16
Aj Capasso
But from all the research that I keep doing and from what I've done and from what certain people know of near-death experiences... There's some similarities, like the color thing is something that people have said a lot of times.
00:23:31
Aj Capasso
Also, the tunnel thing is something that they've experienced a lot of times, which I didn't know either of the two before until I started studying on them after it happened. So I would get a lot of answers, especially from the medical people. They wouldn't understand. They try to come up with an answer saying it could be this, it could be that.
00:23:50
Aj Capasso
the The paramedic said that my heart stopped. for a little over a minute and 11 seconds. So it was like a minute 15, minute 16. But I was without oxygen for how it ended up happening was i ended up falling asleep and stopped. My my sort central nervous system stopped breathing because i had I ended up getting fentanyl in my heroin when I i switched to heroin I got fentanyl in it.
00:24:19
Aj Capasso
And i that's how I overdosed. and What ended up happening was my grandmother my dad had a weird feeling at his house, had came over and he was supposed to be at work, but instead of going to work, he stopped by my grandmother's house.
00:24:35
Aj Capasso
And that it said it took he said it took him at least six minutes to get to my grandmother's house. Then he asked my grandmother where I was. he ran on the porch. He saw me blue. Then he called the paramedics and he was trying to give me mouth to mouth, but he wasn't giving me CPR.
00:24:53
Aj Capasso
And he said I stayed blue all the way till the paramedics got there, which was another at least six to seven minutes. So I was without oxygen for at least, you know, 12 minutes at minimum.
00:25:04
Aj Capasso
And even the paramedics and the doctor said to me, they're like, you're very lucky. Like normally, you know, you would be gone. There was no, you know, saving you at that point.
00:25:13
Lee Hatfield
Yeah, and and I can see that from the medical side because if we turn up at somebody whose heart stopped, if we have no timeline of when they collapsed, we don't we don't have to start CPR.
00:25:27
Aj Capasso
Yeah.
00:25:31
Aj Capasso
Yeah.
00:25:31
Lee Hatfield
Because it could because it it could be that it's been an hour. it yeah It could be five minutes. But depending on the condition of the patient, like if they're still pink, it's been within a matter of minutes.
00:25:45
Aj Capasso
yeah
00:25:45
Lee Hatfield
But as soon as that oxygen light deteriorates and they start to go blue, if we see that and there's nobody to witness when that person collapsed,
00:25:57
Lee Hatfield
You don't literally have to do CPR. You can just go, okay, time of death was approximately this time.
00:26:03
Aj Capasso
wow
00:26:05
Lee Hatfield
And they they always say that, yeah, there's a 20-minute window. So if you turn up quite quick and you're doing CPR and you're trying to shock the patient, if nothing changes within 20 minutes, then you can call it.
00:26:23
Aj Capasso
Yeah, you call it, yeah.
00:26:25
Lee Hatfield
Yeah. So, yeah, you were very close to being called.
00:26:28
Aj Capasso
Yeah, I was. Yeah.
00:26:30
Lee Hatfield
Yeah.
00:26:30
Aj Capasso
Yeah, I definitely was.
00:26:31
Lee Hatfield
But, yeah.
00:26:31
Aj Capasso
I mean, I remember the paramedic saying something along those lines, too. He was like, I can't believe that you're all right.
00:26:37
Lee Hatfield
Yeah.
00:26:38
Aj Capasso
So. And I literally woke up.
00:26:39
Lee Hatfield
So...
00:26:40
Aj Capasso
What was weird, though, man, is I woke up in the hospital the same night, woke up in the hospital, floor ripped everything out of my body that i that they had on me, all the the things.
00:26:51
Aj Capasso
And I signed myself out and I left. And I went back and did exactly what I did that got me there in the first place because I was so screwed up over what I saw. And I was so deep in my addiction at that point that I went right back and snorted the same amount of stuff that I got me there in the first place like an idiot.
00:27:10
Aj Capasso
It took me literally, i would say almost a year. but i would say about a year because this is my 10 year clean without opiates. So I this my 10th year.
00:27:18
Lee Hatfield
Well done, my friend.
00:27:19
Aj Capasso
thank I appreciate that. So it's you know, it took me about a year to really like get it all understand it and really you know, understand that like I really was very, very lucky, not once, but 12 times, you know,
00:27:35
Lee Hatfield
So how did this incident happen where you kind of decided okay, enough's enough.
00:27:48
Lee Hatfield
I've been given a second chance. I'm going to do something with my life. What kind of tactics?
00:27:54
Aj Capasso
Uh, believe it or not, it was my, it was my father, believe it or not. My father was, uh, one thing that we used to do back in the day, me and my father, actually, we used together when he came back in my life.
00:28:07
Aj Capasso
Uh, it's a sad story, but you know, he wasn't proud of it, but, uh, we use pills together cause he was, prescribed painkillers and I was already addicted at the time and I was stupid and we ended up doing them together. But one thing we would do is we, he would,
00:28:22
Aj Capasso
we would do a painkiller and then we would sit and we would study. he would sit there and study the Bible with me for three hours. And I was, I never even looked at the Bible beforehand, but through everything, it was him and his, his faith and his religion that, you know, got through to me. And when talked to him about it over and over again, he kept trying to tell me like, dude, like you not see, like God has a bigger plan for you. You need to realize what's going on. And,
00:28:50
Aj Capasso
I had multiple experiences. The one experience that really changed everything for me was i had my girlfriend at the time living with me. And we started to have activity at the house, like I was telling you.
00:29:04
Aj Capasso
And we one night I woke up to her, which I thought was her getting out of bed, going to the bathroom. And I saw her. i opened my eyes. I saw a girl with a ponytail walk out of my room, shut the door behind her.
00:29:20
Aj Capasso
So I said to myself, I'm going to roll into her spot and I'm going to pretend like I'm sleeping to just to make her mad and laugh and, you know, i'll just be a joke. Well, when I went to go roll into her spot, I rolled into her.
00:29:34
Aj Capasso
And I'm like, there's no way, like no way. So then two weeks after that, I woke up and activity was getting so bad that I was keeping a camera at the head of my my bed on my night, my headstand that I had behind me.
00:29:50
Aj Capasso
And I had my camera with me and I woke up. i had fallen asleep for 45 minutes and I woke up and my TV that I always kept on and my door that I always kept locked, my door was wide open.
00:30:02
Aj Capasso
My TV was stuck on a blue screen and there was a girl standing at the foot of my bed, completely solid like me and you. She was in a white, like looked like a white gown that was soaked and she had wet black hair.
00:30:19
Aj Capasso
And she was just staring at my girlfriend. the The energy in the room, Lee, was the biggest static electricity that I've ever felt in my life. I could feel the hair on my big toe all the way up to the top of my head.
00:30:34
Aj Capasso
I mean, through my clothes, all my hairs were standing up. I watched this girl disintegrate. It reminded me of a pile of leaves being taken by a like by the wind or like a leaf blower, just piece by piece, leaving.
00:30:48
Lee Hatfield
Meadows, Yeah.
00:30:49
Aj Capasso
She disintegrated in front of me. Now, I thought, obviously, nobody's going to believe me. Everyone's going to think I'm crazy in my family, right? Two weeks exactly on a Sunday afternoon. i'm i'm an Italian family. We always had Sunday dinners.
00:31:04
Aj Capasso
My the whole entire family's over. The same girl appeared in our dining room, solid as me and you. The only difference was she had a smile on her face.
00:31:17
Aj Capasso
Her hair was done in a Victorian style hair in a bun up top. And she had a beautiful white dress on. And my whole family turned because the energy and everything in the whole room, you could, like I said, you could feel it shift. It was that strong.
00:31:32
Aj Capasso
We all looked over. My family's faces were just dropped. And I'm sitting there going, do you guys see this? Tell me you see her. Tell me you see I'm freaking out because I'm like, please tell me.
00:31:44
Aj Capasso
that I'm not losing my mind or I'm not becoming schizophrenic. You know what I mean? i was so, no but that right there was one of the most major things that really shifted myself to say like, okay, now everyone in my family just saw this thing, this person solidly appear in our dining room, disintegrate in front of us, which everybody left.
00:31:49
Lee Hatfield
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:32:08
Aj Capasso
We didn't have Sunday dinner that day. Needless to say, but, A lot of people didn't come back for a little while.
00:32:12
Lee Hatfield
Lose your appetite. OK.
00:32:13
Aj Capasso
Yeah, they didn't come back for a little while, let me tell you. But, you know, it got me thinking hardcore about, you know, what the afterlife is. And it made me start thinking, like, people in my life were getting older. And I'm like, what if there is a way that I could keep in contact with people that I love?
00:32:30
Aj Capasso
And that got me going down the road into, you know, ITC, Spirit Communications. and going through all that. But yeah, but the, to your answer though, my dad was the big thing that kept me grounded, you know?
00:32:41
Lee Hatfield
OK. Yeah. So I'm just going to come straight out and say this.
00:32:47
Aj Capasso
Yeah.
00:32:47
Lee Hatfield
How the hell are you not in a padded cell?
00:32:51
Aj Capasso
Dude, I'm telling you what you're telling me, I feel like I should be in a bad cell, the shit that I've experienced.
00:32:55
Lee Hatfield
Yeah.
00:32:55
Aj Capasso
I'm telling you, excuse my language. I apologize. But I tell you, it's I, I, there's a lot of stuff that, Ever since entering this field, I've seen so much things, even before this field, I've seen so many things that have unexplained and shocked the hell out of me that I can't even fathom.
00:33:16
Aj Capasso
And I'm very lucky to witness certain things that I've witnessed. But at the same time, it just pushes me further because I want to be able to show the world that this is something serious. There's Whether you call it the afterlife, you call it spirits, you call it God, you call it Buddha, it doesn't matter to me. The point of the matter that I want to get across is that we're all energy.
00:33:40
Aj Capasso
Energy cannot be destroyed. And we can only see so much of a light spectrum. We can see only hear so much of the the audio spectrum. There's a whole other universe right in front of us that we can't even see.
00:33:52
Aj Capasso
And that's my biggest goal is not to get people to believe But to get people to have an open mind and maybe think a little deeper and say, hey, maybe if I try it myself, see what happens, you know?
00:34:04
Lee Hatfield
Yeah.
00:34:05
Aj Capasso
So...
00:34:07
Lee Hatfield
So after having this
00:34:10
Lee Hatfield
rather bizarre experience from the time that you had an out-of-body experience to the time that you decided that you were going to change your life for the better, obviously this takes time.
00:34:25
Lee Hatfield
yeah I've dealt with a lot of people that talk drugs, so you know you can't just...
00:34:30
Aj Capasso
No, no.
00:34:31
Lee Hatfield
click the switch and do it overnight. so
00:34:33
Aj Capasso
Oh, absolutely not.
00:34:35
Lee Hatfield
So that must have been really hard for you to actually like get weaned off all the different drugs. So what how long after these events did you kind of realize that, okay, I've made it, I'm now clean,
Scientific Exploration of the Paranormal
00:34:55
Lee Hatfield
I can now move on?
00:34:55
Aj Capasso
you It was about a year because I went to a six month rehab.
00:35:00
Aj Capasso
So it was about a year. I first did a 30 day rehab. It didn't work. I thought it was too, too little of a amount of time. And especially going back to the same place, the same people, same things. It was not a great environment.
00:35:01
Lee Hatfield
Okay.
00:35:14
Aj Capasso
So ended up going to a six month rehab first, a transitional home, then a six month rehab. And after the six months, the third, certain things they taught me, I felt I was okay enough to realize that if I was to use again,
00:35:29
Aj Capasso
I would be the next one they'd be burying because the fentanyl is just too much.
00:35:33
Lee Hatfield
ye
00:35:34
Aj Capasso
It's, it's, it's out of hand, you know, it's, it's ridiculous.
00:35:38
Lee Hatfield
Okay. So how long after this six months did you decide to do something about it? Because I know that I mentioned at the beginning that you were part of Coventry's circle paranormal.
00:35:54
Lee Hatfield
Is that the first part of this extension to the story, CCP?
00:35:58
Aj Capasso
Yeah, right after about the year mark when I decided to get into the paranormal. That was around the time when I started Coventry Circle Paranormal. And the reason why i named it Coventry Circle Paranormal is because my grandmother's house was one Coventry Circle and North Haven, Connecticut.
00:36:15
Aj Capasso
And I use Coventry Circle Paranormal because my experiences had started in this house. And I remember even as a little kid, we were always afraid of something in the house. So I just, I thought about it and I was like, you know what, I'm going to do my own research. And because at the time i was skeptic of everything. I was skeptic of mediums. I was skeptic of other people trying to say they were, had the woos and then, you know, me not, you know, me not trusting them. So I started out alone and then and my uncle joined me and now it's just me and my girlfriend doing it. So.
00:36:48
Lee Hatfield
So how did CCP kind of go? What kind of experiences did you experience that weren't connected to your situation? because obviously being a paranormal researcher, you're going to go to various locations. So what kind of incidents or experiences happened that were not really connected to your personal situation?
00:37:15
Aj Capasso
Yeah. well, I've had, i mean, i got to one, be a part of an exorcism. I don't really, I don't really like to talk about it too much. that one opened my eyes to a darker side of the paranormal that can really be dangerous.
00:37:30
Aj Capasso
it was, uh, I'll just tell a very little bit. It it was a nine year old kid. Um, I watched her physically pick up a table with one hand. It took five guys to hold her down.
00:37:41
Aj Capasso
She threw this thing like it was a football. And it was probably what made me start realizing the seriousness of the field. Also, a lot of activity with communication through ITC devices like the PSP7, even the portal device they have out to help the audio and various other methods.
00:38:04
Aj Capasso
Even apps, a certain thing like that. I've gotten a lot of stuff. Um, focus, I went to Montana state prison. We did a huge investigation there. Just me and a buddy of mine.
00:38:13
Aj Capasso
got a lot of things from cat balls to anomaly going off. mean, cat balls going off to anomalies. we had,
00:38:23
Aj Capasso
I've seen shadow people. Uh, God, I've seen so many things. I've actually, One of the things that ah happened to me during it was I got an attachment.
00:38:36
Aj Capasso
I didn't protect myself one night. And this attachment an older man. And he basically made me sleepwalk.
00:38:48
Aj Capasso
I've never sleptwalk my entire life. And when I had this attachment, I felt psychologically, I was getting beat down psychologically every day. got to the point where I had to reach out to some friends because I felt suicidal.
00:39:01
Aj Capasso
But one night really scared me. i woke up after going to bed. I woke up in my ah upstairs in my aunt and uncle's room in the pitch darkness, standing at the foot of their bed.
00:39:13
Aj Capasso
He woke me up freaking out on me, thought that I was messed up or something. And I woke up. I was like, oh, my God, where am I? And I went back downstairs. I laid in my bed. I went to sleep. Next minute I know.
00:39:24
Aj Capasso
I wake up and I'm at the end of the end of my driveway right at the street with a cigarette my hand that's lit. And I don't remember ever getting out of bed or doing anything like that. And that terrified me the most. And I literally there's been so many different things. It's hard to really pinpoint, you know, main things that have happened. I mean, I'm still going out now and doing things. So, you know, every I've witnessed a lot of different things like there's you name it. I probably have had it happen during an investigation.
00:39:55
Aj Capasso
Nothing like you'd see in movies. I wouldn't say anything along those lines. But, you know, the simple things along just communication wise, I'm setting off devices intelligently, you know, intelligently having anomalies, intelligently move throughout the room.
00:40:11
Aj Capasso
You know, shadow figures that are, you know, intelligently moving. You could tell they're not just a shadow. And there's just been a lot of a lot of different, you know, activity that I've seen being, you know, doing this research.
00:40:25
Lee Hatfield
Wow. So it's, you know, in my notes, it says that you've been doing CCP for over a decade now.
00:40:33
Aj Capasso
Yep.
00:40:33
Lee Hatfield
So at what point did you decide that you were going to create a podcast and then put your story out there and then to listen to other people's stories?
Birth of the Podcast
00:40:46
Aj Capasso
You know, that's funny that you asked that question because no one's ever asked me this question. And I've talked about a couple times on my podcast. And it's funny because in 2021, I graduated. Actually, no, I'm sorry. 2020, I believe it was. I graduated broadcasting school.
00:41:02
Aj Capasso
And my ah my midterm for my audio was for radio and it was a podcast. And i ended up doing, we ended up doing a sports type podcast, but I wanted to do paranormal.
00:41:15
Aj Capasso
So they made me, you know, obviously look up paranormal stuff about sports. So I did this whole thing. I brought equipment out.
00:41:20
Lee Hatfield
laughter
00:41:21
Aj Capasso
I brought equipment out. I said, this is what I would use to register this. And I would talk very scientifically. And my teacher was so impressed with me. He had a company that sponsored podcasts and stuff. And he goes, hey, do you have a podcast? I'm like, what's a podcast? And he goes, listen, he goes, it's this.
00:41:37
Aj Capasso
He goes, I'll help you make a podcast and I'll put it on my business and I'll get you guys downloads and I'll help promote your stuff. Why don't you do something like, you know, when you guys, all your locations you go to, why don't you do a podcast reviewing the locations?
00:41:52
Aj Capasso
So I contacted him after I got of school because he told me to. And the guy never got back to me. Now, he helped everyone else in my classroom start a podcast, put them on his business except me. Now, i only there was only four other people in my classroom.
00:42:06
Aj Capasso
So it's not like he was so busy. You know what I mean?
00:42:09
Lee Hatfield
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:42:09
Aj Capasso
So I got so mad that I was like, you know what? Screw him. He actually is a subscriber on my Coventry Circle Paranormal YouTube. So I'm going to make a Coventry Circle Paranormal podcast.
00:42:20
Aj Capasso
And I'm going to do it live. And I'm going teams on. I'm going to do my own podcast. And I'm going to tell him, screw it. I don't need you. I could do it on my own. And it was just funny. It just, it turned into a joke like that. And it became so serious.
00:42:33
Aj Capasso
And one thing led to another. And then soon we had people that were what very well known coming on. And it just, it's been so magical to so to meet people all across the globe that have had these amazing experiences And you just get the the network, you get the knowledge. Like, I mean, I learned from people that are, you know, that just started out, you know, like I hate when I have somebody on and they try to talk like they're this expert, you know, because there's nobody's an expert in this field.
00:43:01
Aj Capasso
You know, even me and I've died and came back and seen what was on that side. I would never say I'm an expert, you know what I'm saying? Because nobody knows. But it's funny because I get that a lot about people saying, oh, you know, this expert, this expert. But you meet so much great people in this field and there's everything that they they share with you just means something, you know.
00:43:21
Lee Hatfield
Yeah, and that's it's really interesting because, yeah, my podcast has only been going since February. And, yeah, i I always like to start things big.
00:43:34
Lee Hatfield
So it's like I'm not going to just start with interviewing my buddy or interview. I'm just going to go to whoever.
00:43:40
Aj Capasso
Hell yeah.
00:43:40
Lee Hatfield
And, you know, and reaching out to people and when people go, oh sure, I would love to, you kind of go, whoa, hang on a minute. Yeah.
00:43:50
Aj Capasso
Yeah.
00:43:50
Lee Hatfield
am i am i Am I in too deep?
00:43:51
Aj Capasso
Yup.
00:43:52
Lee Hatfield
And it's great that, like you said, people in this community are so close knit. than some other communities. Like, yeah, I know some guy that hope that tried to do a ah ah musical, like a rock and roll podcast.
00:44:10
Lee Hatfield
He's reaching out to producers and musicians, and nobody got back to him.
00:44:15
Aj Capasso
yeah
00:44:15
Lee Hatfield
Whereas in this field, because it's becoming more forefront in everybody's life and people are more open to talking about it, talking about the experiences, that people...
00:44:25
Aj Capasso
yeah
00:44:30
Lee Hatfield
love to come on and tell people about these experiences. And now people are not being pointed at and going, you're nuts.
00:44:35
Aj Capasso
yeah
00:44:41
Lee Hatfield
yeah You should go go go to a crazy farm. You're not treated like that anymore. You're treated like, oh, wow, tell me more.
00:44:50
Aj Capasso
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
00:44:51
Lee Hatfield
and And, yeah.
00:44:52
Aj Capasso
You're absolutely right.
00:44:54
Lee Hatfield
And the fact that you've been doing Talking With The Source for six six years, is that correct, Matt?
00:44:58
Aj Capasso
Yeah, I believe it's six years this year, yep.
00:45:02
Lee Hatfield
So yeah you must have experienced some really amazing people, and so like you said, and some really amazing stories. So are there any?
00:45:11
Aj Capasso
crazy.
00:45:13
Lee Hatfield
Pick one. Pick one of the stories that stands out to you the most.
00:45:18
Aj Capasso
Hmm, my gosh.
00:45:21
Aj Capasso
Oh, now you put me on the spot.
00:45:23
Lee Hatfield
I know. I'm good at doing that.
00:45:24
Aj Capasso
Oh, that was a good one. That was a good question. I'm trying to think. What I think of? Oh, actually, you know what I'll tell you one that was really cool that happened, and I have it on the YouTube. had Patty Negri on.
00:45:37
Aj Capasso
Whoever doesn't know about Patty Negri, she is a she's called Hollywood's Good Witch. she has been on everything from America's Got Talent to, Gordon Ramsey's, uh, chef show.
00:45:49
Aj Capasso
and, uh, she is an amazing person. ah she's a white witch and, she always works for ghost adventures a lot and other, obviously other paranormal people that are well-known in the field.
00:46:00
Aj Capasso
And when we had her on, she was talking about this, the black Dahlia house. And she was talking about how, the cameraman had combusted into fire on his leg out of nowhere.
00:46:14
Aj Capasso
And when she's talking about this demonic reaction that she had at this place and this combustion of fire that came out of nowhere, a light anomaly came over her head, over the screen, right from where her haunted doll is sitting.
00:46:29
Aj Capasso
And they've caught the doll live on her podcast, actually move and all that stuff. But to see this anomaly come and what was so weird was right before the anomaly started, her dog started to bark really loudly right next to where she was. And she leaned down to like get him to stop. And then that's when this light anomaly came over her head.

Aj Capasso
It was just really cool. But story wise, it's so hard to say what is a great story because I have a friend. Her name is Laura Lee Potvin. She was on, I believe the show is Paranormal Witness. I think if I'm right. I hope I'm not saying or wrong.
00:47:05
Aj Capasso
I think season four, episode two, don't quote me on that, but I could be wrong. she, had a incredible experience that was extremely demonic, her life, her and her husband, that literally tore them to pieces. I mean, like tore their whole life upside down, like any activity you could think of happened, manifestations, apporting, like All different types of stuff, like physical interactions with them were very like tormenting.
00:47:38
Aj Capasso
It was a very like scary thing to hear firsthand from her because what they show on Paranormal Witness obviously isn't, you know, what real life was.
00:47:49
Aj Capasso
But she said, yeah, she goes, you know, this was the first experience that I've ever had in this field that was close to a movie, you know, like how scary it got. And that one really stuck with me.
00:48:03

Global Ghost Hunt is also the the owner and founder is Brian Laverty. He was a part of world's largest ghost hunt for a very short period of time. And he saw some things that he thought could have been improved on and they didn't want to improve on those things. And he decided, you know what, let me make a platform for researchers, paranormal enthusiasts, paranormal teams to have an event once a year.
00:51:13
Aj Capasso
It was twice a year, but once a year. It's coming up in October. It's going to be a 10-day event with teams all over the globe. It's going to be streamed live on eight different locations.

None of that stuff is allowed. It's pure, live, uncut, raw, paranormal investigating It's not going to be like you see on TV. You're going to see some boring parts. You're going to see some probably exciting parts, but we wanted to bring people and teams from all over the world together and to have them do their haunted location from all the world to not just promote the teams, but also to promote the locations because a lot of locations are being taken away from us.
00:52:02
Aj Capasso
They're being demolished or they're being, you know, turned into something else. And, you know, we really need to protect that. So at Global Ghost Hunt, one of our biggest things is protecting the locations, helping them, giving back to them.
00:52:14
Aj Capasso
