    The Dark Pyramid

    The Dark Pyramid

    Over the past several years, rumours and reports have resurfaced of a massive pyramid structure said to be hidden underground in a chamber beneath the ice, snow and rock of the remote Alaska mountains. Towering over 1000 feet high, this alleged enigma remains buried between remote mountain ranges in a vast ice-covered landscape. If this structure does exist, it could quite possibly connect us to an unknown past and perhaps to dimensions beyond our own. Join us on Into The Portal, as we venture into the remote wilds of the Alaskan mountains for a discussion of a mysterious megalith known as The Dark Pyramid.

Great Podcast

I love deep and dark podcasts at bedtime. This happens to be a favourite. They also happen to be from my hometown! Bonus! Highly suggest a listen.

Bringing warmth and entertainment to the freezing Yukon

Dearest ITP,
This podcast brings me so much joy and life! I’ve been searching for a Canadian-based paranormal podcast for ages, and stumbled upon your magnificent offering about 8 months ago. The research you put into each episode is epic! I live in Dawson City, the heart of the Yukon gold rush, and was hella stoked to come across your Partridge Creek episode months ago. I’ve lived here for almost a decade and had never heard of this before. You best believe it gave me shivers, and I loved every second. That was the beginning of my love affair with this podcast, and I have yet to be disappointed. Every other paranormal podcast talks about ufos, mothman, yada yada yada, all the ‘Merica based cryptids, but you are the first to really delve into Canada’s unusual occurrences. Ogopogo! BC Bigfoot! Your coverage of other, out-of-country cryptids and high strangeness is equally well researched and entertaining as well. Your Sasquatch trio is incredible, and quite honestly the best Bigfoot podcasts I’ve ever heard (and I’ve heard a lot, the winters up here and long, dark, and boring...).
I love the chemistry between the two hosts, and the authenticity you both bring to each podcast. It’s obvious you put many hours of research into each episode, and don’t just deep-dive into rumours.
Many many cheers to ITP, thank you for a magnificent podcast that never disappoints!
Also, special thanks for the incredible hand written letter and stickers I just received in the mail after becoming a Patron! It’s -20 today, and the letter warmed my cold Yukon heart to no end. Don’t ever stop!
