Professional wrestling is an industry built on the scarcely believable, but Chris Jericho believes he may have also experienced the unexplainable. The current Ring of Honor World Champion, who is a firm believer in the supernatural, has revealed that he may have experienced time displacement.
For the uninitiated, time displacement is where an individual is unable to account for a period of time, be that minutes or hours. Speaking in a new interview with Howie Mandel on Howie Does Stuff, Jericho made the revelations about his own experience with the sensation.
Chris Jericho Details Supernatural Experiences
The former WWE star recalled one instance where he was driving home and arrived at his destination 15 hours later than expected, and unable to explain why.
“I’ve had time displacement. It’s when you can’t account for a certain stretch of time. It’s when you get like abducted. I was driving home on a country road and it should have taken me about an hour to get home, and instead of getting home at 2 AM, I got home at 5 PM. I still don’t know what happened. I don’t know. I wasn’t drinking, I wasn’t doing drugs or anything. There is just a big chunk of time missing. I should probably go to a hypnotist and see what happened, if there was any abduction. I’ve had time displacement,”
However, this isn’t the only supernatural experience that Chris Jericho has encountered. The star went on to break down an incident where he was filming a television show in the Louisiana Bayou, and was overcome by a number of uncomfortable feelings.
“Here’s another one, I did a show for the travel channel, called Chris Jericho: Hunting Monsters. We went to the Louisiana Bayou to look for a Louisiana Werewolf. When we were there, there was a voodoo priest who put a curse on a town in the 20s. When she put a curse on the town, this is real, a hurricane came and killed 50 people. They have a mass grave in the middle of the swamp. We were out there and I had a machete, I was cutting through the swamp and we got to the mass burial ground. I put the machete in the ground.
They had the ghost hunters there with the thing where they scan you and the lights come on if something is attached to you. These guys were scanning me and it was going full-on Defcon green right on my arm. I was like, ‘let me see this thing. Is there a button you’re pushing?’ No, I do it to myself and it’s blinking. Then I started feeling queasy, like I had been on a rollercoaster. ‘This is f*cking not good. I have to get out of here, this is really bad.’
I pulled the machete out of the ground and it went away. I’m wondering if maybe when I put that machete in the ground, it made somebody mad that was buried there. I felt some weird sh*t going on in my body. I talked to a Shaman and they were like, ‘it happens, you get spirits attached to you and you have to be cleansed.’ It’s pretty out there stuff, but when you’re there and it’s three in the morning and you feel something weird going on and you know it’s not normal, it’s hard to explain it,
Chris Jericho was most recently in action on the November 23rd edition of AEW Dynamite where he defeated New Japan star Tomohiro Ishii to retain his ROH World Title.
