There’s something new and unusual happening each and every day. One of those things appears to be the claims of a FEMA official who says he was teleported to a Waffle House.
In a report by The Independent, it was noted that top FEMA official, Gregg Phillips, claims that he was once teleported to a Waffle House located in Rome, Georgia. However, employees at the restaurant say they’ve never seen him before.
Shastoni Burge has worked Waffle House in Rome for over a decade, but told The New York Times, “I’ve seen it all. But I’ve never seen that.”

The New York Times also reportedly interviewed two dozen regular customers and workers across the three Waffle Houses in Rome, and no one could identify Phillips from his photo.
In Jan. 2025, Phillips was on the Onward podcast, where he said he had come through an “incredibly frightening moment.”
This moment was none other than having his car lifted, all while he was actively driving. He claims he was then teleported 50 miles to a Waffle House in Rome.
“You know it’s happening, but you can’t do anything about it,” Phillips stated. “…you just go with the ride...And wow, what just an incredible adventure it all was.”
He also said that “Teleporting is no fun”, and that this took place while he was “heavily medicated.” Phillips further saw this as a “miracle” that was orchestrated by God.
This story is a reminder that in a time of increasing spiritual noise and encounters, the people of God must stay grounded, vigilant and rooted in truth, testing the spirits behind what is being said at all times.
