BLOG: The Confessionals Podcast TOP 10 Episodes of 2022
The end is nigh.
Another year is coming to a close, so it’s time to begin the countdown with our TOP 10 episodes of 2022!
This year we’ve shared strange skinwalker stories, interviewed notable personalities, chased down Dogman, considered Nephilim theories, and much more. Now, re-visit some of these hot topics featured in the top 10 list, ordered by the date they aired. Did your favorite episode make the cut?!
In Episode 405: Paranormal Military Encounters, we are joined by Nick from the Instagram account Tales From The Gridsquare! Using his Instagram account, Nick is archiving thousands of stories from military personnel who tell him about their bizarre encounters while out on deployment or stateside on military bases. Nick reached out to us after appearing on Sasquatch Chronicles and let us know he had many stories to share beyond the topic of bigfoot. He shares those stories with us on Episode 405, and even more on an Overtime episode.
In Episode 409: Black Budget Space Programs, we are joined again by a fan favorite, Tony Rodrigues! Tony and I originally connected years ago on Episode 91: The Alien Abducted Time Traveler where he became the first guest on The Confessionals to share his experiences being abducted as a child, put in a secret space program, and forced into slave labor for 20 years. After his 20 years were finished, "they" brought him back to Earth at the exact time from which they took him. On Episode 409, Tony and I hold an open conversation about these topics, and how they relate to every human on planet Earth today.
In Episode 414: The Dogman House, we are joined by Dan from the Monster Investigators of America podcast. He shares his experiences in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, which are some of the thickest forests in the United States and home to the Jersey Devil. Some of his experiences left him terrified, while others left him laughing and shaking his head in relief. But there is one that stands out as the most unique and frightening experiences he has had in New Jersey. When Dan was a young boy, his friend told him he wanted to introduce Dan to another friend who lived in a house in the woods. Dan would soon find out that this was no ordinary friend, but rather a beast that lives in people's nightmares - and it was standing right in front of him.
In Episode 468: The Oak Ridge Dogman Portals, we bring Adam into the studio! I have made it no secret as of late that I not only believe there is a parallel world like the Upside Down in Stranger Things, I am also on the verge of saying I know it exists and is far more complex and dangerous than the Stranger Things show leads us to think. A few weeks ago, Adam emailed me after hearing me discuss CERN, Oak Ridge, portals in those locations, and entities coming through them. In Adam's email, he said,
"I'm ready to talk about something that happened to me involving Oak Ridge and the undeniable evil demonic entities I know are coming through there. It's a lot to talk about but I'm coming to you because I heard you mention something about the portals there. I can honestly say it's nothing like you've ever heard and it's hard to believe but I swear on my life it's true. That said it directly involves this hell beast called 'Dogman' which I now believe is not from anywhere but another dimension."
With that information, I knew I had to get Adam in the studio as fast as possible to hear what he's been through. Adam experienced an event that lasted three days and traversed multiple locations. One late night when he was fishing near the Oak Ridge facility in Tennessee, he encountered UFOs acting in strange ways that hadn’t yet been heard about on this show. Those UFOs led to him encountering portals, and culminated in a high-speed chase down the highway with creatures trying to push Adam’s car off the road. How Adam survived their attack will leave you on the edge of your seat, as it did me sitting across the table from him!
In Episode 474: Rise of the Nephilim, we are joined by Joel and Sean from Operation Kill The Mockingbirds to discuss Joel's working theory on why people are being abducted, and how the Fallen Angels are creating a Nephilim hybrid army for a final epic battle of the gods! Joel has been featured on two other podcasts to discuss these topics, and every time, the host's podcast equipment has glitched and stopped working. I told Joel we would test these glitch occurrences in my studio to determine if they were happening due to recording remotely through the internet. I believed nothing would happen during our in-studio recording - but I was wrong. Things did happen, and our interview left me needing to purchase a new mixer board following Joel’s visit! The rise of the Nephilim seems to be a hot topic for the fallen ones, and perhaps they don't want us talking about it. So, of course, we are going to talk about it much more!
In Episode 476: Skinwalker Encounter at Quantico Military Base, we are joined by Chris, an active serviceman. He is currently stationed at Quantico in Virginia, and had an experience one night while on patrol that sent him running. Chris enjoyed hunting on one side of the base, and would set up trail cameras to see what kind of game was coming though. One night during his rounds, he climbed up into his tree stand with his computer to pull the trail cam images off his SD card - and there Chris had one of the most terrifying encounters of his life. He watched as a deer walking on all fours suddenly started walking upright. Then the deer did things that should not be possible, like speaking to Chris in the eeriest of ways, before returning to all fours and walking away. This encounter lasted over for an hour, and Chris’s stories don't end there. In an Overtime episode and in the second segment, Chris shares what would turn out to be his first encounter with a skinwalker as a teenager back home in California. That encounter was extremely up close and personal, including physical contact, and leaves us wondering whether Chris has been followed by this entity over the years.
In Episode 478: New World Order's Most Hunted Journalist, we are joined by legendary journalist Shepard Ambellas. Shepard runs intellihub.news, which was at one time one of the most trafficked websites on the internet. That all changed when he started digging into stories that put a target on his back (literally), and flipped his life upside down and on the run.
Shepard was turned on to The Confessionals by a friend who wanted him to listen to a fan favorite episode, #122: Secret Military Enochian Technology. He was so impressed by the story he wrote an article about it and posted it on intellihub. That article got over 6,000 shares and made its way back to us. We were able to connect with Shep about coming on The Confessionals.
It turns out Shepard has had lots of paranormal experiences along with his life of extreme journalism. In this jam-packed episode that runs in to Overtime, Shep shares his run-ins with the paranormal and his life on the run from the New World Order. In the first two hours, he shares how he had three extremely up close and personal encounters with UFOs, two of those encounters occurring with friends from high school. He also had what he knows now to be a dogman encounter that was within six feet of him during a camping excursion. In another two-hours Overtime segment, Shep discusses the time he stumbled into an underground vampire coven, and tells us all about how he has fled the United States after multiple experiences of people chasing him down for the information he was releasing to the world. Shep believes Planet X is coming, and the information he shared about it has almost gotten him killed multiple times.
On Episode 480: The Hidden Origins of Skinwalker Ranch, we are joined by a major broadcasting influence of mine, Clyde Lewis. Years ago, I was introduced to Clyde's show Ground Zero and it changed my life and how I broadcast forever. The first time I tuned into his show it was like a light switch being flicked in my brain - I had finally found a show and broadcaster that would challenge my way of thinking, and at the same time show me a new way to view the world around me. Clyde Lewis may not have known he was showing me the way, but we all owe him a huge debt of gratitude for what The Confessionals is today because he was instrumental in molding my mind over the last several years!
Recently on Ground Zero, Clyde predicted Queen Elizabeth's death a week before it happened. We start out talking about how he reads the dystopian tea leaves to predict such things, which have become a regular occurrence for his show. We then discuss Clyde's own bigfoot encounter which was seen by many people in the moment. The conversation steers in an unexpected direction when we talk about Skinwalker Ranch, and Clyde and I find out we have a lot in common as we compare notes on our personal experiences with the mysterious location of the Uinta Basin.
In Episode 488: Nephilim Portal Babies, we have a very large crossover show with Joel Thomas from VanTesla and Kill The Mockingbirds, Erick from uNcomfortable, and Justin and Jay from Cryptids of the Corn. A few months ago we put out an episode with Joel called "Rise Of The Nephilim" and as he started to share his theory about what he thinks is happening with fallen angels and Nephilim hybrids, our technology malfunctioned. I most likely would not have thought twice about it, except that this wasn't the first time it had happened to Joel when talking about this specific subject matter. Weird tech glitches happened during his recordings on both Justin and Jay's podcast and Erick's podcast. Not only that, Joel also predicted that we would have tech issues when we recorded our show together. When it actually happened, it gave me a reason to be intrigued. We started to feel like there was someone or something making a concerted effort to keep this information from getting out. So we planned for all the guys to join me at my studio to get the story out in one shot, once and for all. On Episode 488, we share a recording that lasted over 4 hours, talking about what brought us together, Joel's theory on the Nephilim portal babies, and what happened to us the night before the recording at an Airbnb the guys had rented.
In Episode 502: Lost Treasure and Secret Petroglyphs of Virginia we are joined by Justin, Lance, and Ryan from the Appalachian Intelligence podcast, who reached out months ago regarding some unusual pictures they had taken in Virginia. Buried in the hills of Virginia, there is a huge rock that Justin, Lance, and Ryan stumbled across, with petroglyphs etched into its face. As they sought out answers to their discovery, the mystery became much deeper. With the information they’ve since been given, they are now joining in on a hunt for the lost treasure of the Swift Silver Mine, which might have a direct connection to their secret petroglyph boulder.
Not to be forgotten are our HONORABLE MENTIONS featured below - two additional shows that are also high on the list of 2022 favorites!
Honorable Mention
Episode 416: Alien Ovarian Abduction - In Episode 416: Alien Ovarian Abduction, we are joined by Sheera. Some time ago, a listener of The Confessionals sent in a TikTok video featuring Sheera that had gone viral, in which she made the claim she had some of her eggs removed from her body during an abduction scenario. She went on to say that, as a result, she has hybrid children. This is not the first time we have encountered this type of claim on the show: in Episode 226: Reptilians and Alien Offspring, we were joined by Dave Emmons, who has similar stories of abduction and sexual interactions resulting in hybrid offspring. Is Sheera another person on a growing list of people who were not only abducted, but also have human-alien children as a result of their abduction?
Honorable Mention
Episode 420: Hollywood Elites Seance - In Episode 420: Hollywood Elites Seance, we are joined by Joseph Granda. Joseph spent thirty years working in the film industry, with a significant portion of that time spent inside Hollywood. He shares with us his extremely fascinating experiences with the paranormal. First, he describes an "incident" with a UFO that left his car windows smashed and had him visited by what may have been the Men in Black. Joseph goes on to tell us how he become intertwined with Hollywood elites and ended up at a VIP access-only seance party! Finally, through seeking out a purpose to life that ran deeper than money, Joseph later became a Christian and shares the story behind his journey with us as well.
