Entities: 55 Years of Ghosts, Demons, Elementals, Aliens & the Worlds Between is a raw, revealing journey into the many forms of non-human intelligences Chris Fleming has encountered throughout his life—ghosts, demons, elementals, extraterrestrials, and dimensional beings that exist just beyond ordinary perception. In this one-hour illustrated and multi media presentation, Chris examines the true nature of these entities through personal encounters inside haunted homes, sacred sites, abandoned structures, forests, and locations around the world.
Each encounter reveals a pattern: how ghosts remain tied to places and people; how darker forces use fear and influence; how elementals guard the natural world; how dimensional beings slip in and out of our reality; and how extraterrestrials engage with human consciousness. Drawing from decades of field investigation, documented cases, actual documented audio conversations, psychic communication, and unexplained phenomena, Chris explains how these beings behave, what they seek, and what he believes they truly are after a lifetime of direct experience.
Attendees will walk away with a deeper understanding of the unseen world, the hierarchy and diversity of entities that exist alongside us, and how these encounters point to a far larger and more complex multiverse than most people ever imagine.
