In Episode 426: Police Officer's Paranormal Life, we are joined by Dave. Dave doesn't listen to The Confessionals and didn't know he was scheduled for an interview until a few weeks beforehand when his wife Brandy sprung it on him! Even though he wasn't prepared to tell his experiences, Dave didn't disappoint. He begins his story by revealing that his ancestor, Bridget Bishop, was the first person executed for witchcraft during the Salem witch trials in 1692. Considering that this family history could be a reason for the paranormal experiences in his life, Dave goes on to tell us about Hatman, his experiences on duty as a police officer, and even his strange relationship with electronics, in which he seems to drain them of all their energy.

In Episode 425: Underwater Panther In Lake Erie, we are joined by Michelle as she recalls a time when she saw what appeared to be an underwater panther in Lake Erie. When the creature emerged from the water, the details she saw seemed almost prehistoric. Michelle later came across a picture on the internet of an ancient rock painting that strongly reminded her of what she had seen. On top of her strange panther sighting, she shares her other paranormal experiences, including an "old lady ghost" that seemed to take to Michelle's children in a motherly way.

In Episode 424: Mountain Beast Mysteries, we are joined by Justin Chernipeski! Justin and I started our content creator journeys around the same time but where I went the podcasting route, Justin went the YouTube route. Over the years he has been able to build a sizable channel called Mountain Beast Mysteries on YouTube, with over 115,000 subscribers. On his channel, he creates a lot of documentary filmmaking along the subject line of bigfoot, as well as shorter educational videos on certain cases, theories, and observances. Justin joins The Confessionals to discuss bigfoot, and some of his hair-raising experiences while out looking for the creature itself.

A few weeks ago I spent time on an episode intro urging my listeners to prepare themselves and their households for tough times ahead. Gas prices are sky-high, our governments are on the verge of WW3, and ESG social credit scores are being implemented through the banking system. All these things and more point to very hard times for the average global citizen. So, what can you do? Though nothing is 100% the certain answer or solution, taking action now to be more self-sustainable is going to put the odds in your favor to keep food on your table for you and your family. In Episode 423: Dare To Prepare (Members), we are joined by Chad Catron from North Country Off Grid and Carlton Moore from The Farmacy Seed Network to share helpful tips on how to get started on living a life of independence and relying on your own abilities to survive.

In Episode 422: Fighting Your Demons, we are joined by Chip and Josh. Chip contacted the show to share experiences with the paranormal that he has dealt with his whole life. After listening to The Confessionals, Chip started learning new tactics for handling the demonic attachments in his life.

Both men tell their stories on today’s public show and an extended Overtime edition episode.

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.

In Episode 418: Expedition Dogman, Tony is joined by his documentary film team from Legion Of Legends to discuss the upcoming release of Expedition Dogman! The team discusses their opinions about what they thought dogman was going in to this experience, and how some of those opinions changed once the journey was over. The crew went deep into the Daniel Boone National Forest hunting the dogman, guided by Kyle from Episode 335: Dog vs Dogman. They found mysterious prints, saw things they will never be able to unsee, and chased the unknown into the dark night of the forest. Expedition Dogman was their first documentary together, but it won't be their last. There is something about putting yourself out in the wilderness that makes you more aware of your vulnerabilities, and through that the Legion Of Legends team created an unbreakable bond.

In Episode 417: Spiritual Awakening Through the Paranormal, we are joined by Allie, whose many interactions with the paranormal have left her wondering what is really true. If the things she went through are real, then how can God be real? If God is real, how can God love her and allow her to endure her paranormal experiences? Allie started listening to The Confessionals with these questions in mind. But as she listened more and more, she started to have a spiritual awakening that lead her to a deeper understanding of God, reality, and love in the midst of the paranormal.

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?

On Episode 415: Sleep Terrors (Members), Jennifer joins The Confessionals to share her experiences with many forms of sleep problems such as very lifelike dreams and scary night terrors. One morning Jennifer saw a girl, like the one in the horror movieThe Ring, in her bathroom.

Jennifer also tells some additional paranormal stories, including a possible Hatman encounter.

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 413: Follow the Orbs, we are joined by Shane, who seems to be one of those types of people who have paranormal activity follow them wherever they go. He shares his experiences with us, including some unique orb activity. Once when he was going through a rough patch in life, Shane asked for a sign to help guide him. Just at that moment, a blue orb popped out of the water nearby, and instead of watching as it moved away, Shane followed it.

In Episode 412: Reservation Alien Abduction, we are joined by Jamaal for a third time to tell his stories from the reservation. He previously joined us on Episode 315: Skinwalkers On The Reservation and on Episode 339: Goatman Found Us. Now on Episode 412, he tells us stories about little people on the reservation, more skinwalker accounts, and seeing a five-foot-tall alien through his window when he was just a kid.

In Episode 410: Investigating Waverly Hills, we are joined by Trey. Trey got into paranormal investigating to prove that it was all a joke and not real. That concept changed during his first investigation, when he filmed a ghostly entity through a window as it moved back and forth. Since that first night, he has done many investigations, including multiple visits to the famously haunted Waverly Hills Sanatorium. But just as his entrance into paranormal investigationas was not for typical reasons, his exit was anything but typical as well, as Trey had a bigfoot encounter that pushed him out of paranormal investigating and into chasing down the legendary beast.

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 408: The Cursed Land of the Black Hawk War, we are joined by Evan, who tells us about growing up on land that is seemingly cursed. Evan lived on property that was once a sacred hunting ground for the Potawatomi tribe and the Menomonee tribe. At some point, the Menomonee tribe betrayed the Potowatomi and sold them out in the Black Hawk War, which resulted in the Potawatomi’s land being sold to German settlers. In an unexpected turn for the Menomonee, the German settlers pushed them out too, and desecrated their holy land by building a church right on top of the grounds. In that church is where Evan grew up and lived seven days a week. Evan’s grandfather purchased the land after the war and it has been in his family ever since. Many of Evan’s family members have been plagued with their own paranormal experiences in this home, and Evan was no different. He was tormented night after night by a violent shadow figure that pushed him down the stairs so many times that he began scooting down them instead of walking upright. He would also see a wolf in the woods behind his house that would stand and watch him. Evan recalls there being satanic carvings in the crawl spaces of the church, and has had a black figure following him his whole life. These are just some of the many experiences he shares about living on the cursed land of the Black Hawk War.

In Episode 407: Native American Battle House, we are joined by Jenny. She and her ex-husband bought their first home in 2003. Almost from the time they moved in, weird things started to happen, like hearing a voice through the baby monitor that talked to Jenny’s infant son and knocks on Jenny’s brother’s bedroom door. As time went on, she also saw shadow people, orbs, and things that moved on their own; heard footsteps and conversations that stopped as she approached; and witnessed a full-body apparition. But it was not until her son had experiences that left him too scared to sleep that Jenny finally contacted a paranormal team to investigate the house. She had hoped they could provide a rational explanation for the things that were happening around her, but that would not be the case. The team informed her that not only was she experiencing paranormal activity, but whatever the source of the activity really was, it was not very nice. Following the investigation, Jenny and her family blessed the house and contacted a shaman, a second paranormal team, a touch psychic, and a medium – but despite their intervention, the paranormal activity remained so strong they ultimately ended up abandoning their home completely.

In Episode 406: Military Base Monsters, Nick from Episode 405: Paranormal Military Encounters joins us again to share stories from his Instagram account, Tales From The Gridsquare, where he chronicles military personnel encounters with the paranormal. Nick tells us about reports coming out of our military bases, including creatures that emerge from the shadows of night to bumps and thuds that can be heard when you close your eyes to sleep.
