But even someone with his experience admits there are certain encounters he finds terrifying. In this interview, he explains why alleged spirit possessions frighten him more than almost anything else and recounts an exorcism case in Lucena that left him fearing he was dealing with something far more dangerous. Rob also shares one of his strangest experiences: while conducting a tarot reading inside a family home, he claims a child's handprint mysteriously appeared on a window before an unseen presence appeared to sit beside him. Was it a genuine paranormal encounter, an unexplained coincidence or something else entirely? The conversation explores the Philippines' deeply rooted supernatural traditions, from aswang and duwende to kapre, curses and the legendary White Lady. Rob discusses how indigenous Filipino spirituality intersects with Catholic beliefs and why he believes certain locations, including Siquijor, could contain gateways to unseen realms. Perhaps his most unusual story concerns his book Defensive Occultism. Rob describes years of mysterious setbacks, computer failures and printing problems that convinced him something was preventing its publication. He explains why he now refuses to reprint the book and what he believes made its contents so controversial. Beyond the supernatural, Rob reveals how he became a tarot reader at just 14, discusses the influence of notorious occultist Aleister Crowley and explains why he refuses to predict death dates or lottery numbers. He also raises a serious concern: the exploitation of vulnerable Filipinos by fraudulent psychics and practitioners who use fear of curses and misfortune to demand enormous payments. Where should people draw the line between spiritual belief, personal experience and financial exploitation? Whether you're fascinated by Philippine ghost stories, curious about paranormal investigations or deeply sceptical of the supernatural, this episode explores a world where folklore, religion, fear and personal testimony collide.
