On Episode 486, Ward shares all about Dark Holler, and how a short trip to West Virginia to make a 15-minute video with a new camera rig turned into a five-episode docu-series gave him the realization that there is more to the spiritual realm than he ever could have imagined. UFOs. Poltergeists. Demonic possession. Premonitions from interdimensional psychedelic entities. Thin places in the veil. A paranormal parade of the highest strangeness in the lowest places. Old gods and ancient demons, names absent from the mouths of man for centuries, but are being uttered once more in reverence over backwoods altars. Could it all be connected? What if the truth lies beyond our predictable world, but closer than we think? Over our heads, under our feet. Maybe we only see what fits the rules we've chosen. Maybe it’s been in front of us the whole time. Deeper than we dream, darker than we imagine.

In Episode 485: Death To Life we are joined by Jessie. I came across the story of Jessie’s near-death experience when my phone alerted me about a news bulletin featuring a Tennessee resident who had died from a mysterious sickness, only to come back to life again! I searched the internet to contact her and see if she would be willing to share her experience with us. She joins us on Episode 485 to recall what happened leading up to her death, what she experienced after she died, and what caused her to come back to life. Jessie's story is very unique, even for an NDE!

In Episode 484: Tartaria, Hollow Earth, and Giants, we have Jeff Foran from Strangeology podcast joining us! I stumbled across his podcast while looking into a certain topic, and after I heard the information he shares and the in-depth research he conducts, I had to bring him on to The Confessionals. Jeff is the Dan Carlin of strange podcasts, as he will spend hours researching a topic, and then power up his studio and record himself teaching everything there you need to know about that topic. On Episode 484, he shares what we need to know about Tartaria, the mud flood, and how the hollow earth and giants might tie in to them.

In Episode 483: Warlock Curses, we are joined by Mary. Mary’s grandmother was a shaman who went on to plant a Baptist church. In turn, her father became a pastor and had to deal with a warlock who worked his way into leadership as a deacon at the church. Mary’s father ended up kicking him out of the church, and as a result, curses were placed on her family. This is where Mary's story begin,. as she has been plagued with paranormal encounters her whole life, most likely because of this curse. Now it is transcending generations as her children are starting to experience things as well.

In Episode 482: The Demon Deliverer, we are joined by Blake. When Blake was a kid, he and his family moved into a home that was absolutely haunted. He details the things that happened, which would progress to a "final straw" event that caused them to abandon their home, in hopes of alleviating what was plaguing them. These experiences pushed Blake into a direction in life that would not have come together if he hadn’t undergone those experiences as a child. Blake now has a nonprofit deliverance ministry in which he will travel the country and help people rid themselves of the demons that oppress them. Some would call Blake an exorcist, but he himself doesn't care for that term due to the stigma it carries. He prefers to simply be called a deliverance minister.

In Episode 481: Hollywood Insiders Reveal Industry Evil, we are joined by Hollywood insiders Kristen and Joseph. Joseph joined me previously for Episode 420: Hollywood Elites Seance, where he discussed his 30+ year career in the film industry, including Hollywood and Broadway. He touched on some of the darkness in which the industry is involved, and I knew while recording that episode we needed to interview again to dive deeper into the things he knows. Kristen also originally joined us for Episode 134: Paranormal Hollywood. She has 20 years of experience working in the Hollywood industry, and continues working there to this day. She reached out to me to talk about what she has seen since the world shifted into a seemingly new reality in 2020. She and some of her colleagues have had the "veil" lifted off their eyes, and they are seeing firsthand the demonic influences that control this industry. Together, Kristen and Joseph join the show to reveal the industry evils of Hollywood.

On Episode 480: The Hidden Origins of Skinwalker Ranch, we are joined by broadcasting legend Clyde Lewis! 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 479: The Host and the Body Snatcher, we are joined by Andrew, who presents a unique topic of conversation: Andrew’s girlfriend has a multiple personality disorder, and I set up an interview to speak with them because the show frequently dives into demonic possession; in some cases, the characteristics of possession and multiple personality disorder seem to have many similarities. The night before Andrew, his girlfriend Pam, and myself were originally scheduled to record, I had one of the most horrifying dreams I can remember. In the dream, I was recording a video interview with a couple, when the woman started to manifest as a demon and crawl through the screen at me…

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.

In Episode 477: Shades of Reality, Collin joins The Confessionals. When he first reached out to the show, the subject line of his email read, "Life of Strange Experiences" — and he wasn't kidding. From a possible doppelgänger mother to experiences that seem like they could be instant transportation, he's got plenty of stories to share.

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 475: Ash From Hell, we are joined in studio by Blake and Josh. When I moved to Tennessee, Blake contacted me asking if he could make a desk for my new studio as a “welcome to the South” gift. This past weekend, that desk was delivered, and while Blake and Josh were at the studio, I wanted to hear their experiences as well. We begin our conversation with Josh and Blake describing how a friend of theirs seemed to get possessed and screamed that "they" were dragging him to hell. During this ordeal, he asked Blake and Josh to draw a pentagram on his forehead. As if that wasn't scary enough, after the event was over there was physical evidence left behind suggesting that hell had come to them.

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!

In Episode 473: Booneville Dogman and Satanic Sacrifice Cover-Up we are joined in studio by returning guest Emmett from episode 387: Hunter Encounters Dogman. He stops by to share a dogman encounter story which he was told by a co-worker and it sounds eerily similar to his own siting he had. Since his last appearance on the show, he has also had a very lucid dream involving a dogman that left him feeling like it was meant to tell him something. But what he was most interested in discussing was some information he has been looking into about a major company located in Arkansas that might be running a "satanic sacrifice factory" pretty much out in the open. He shares his thoughts and theories on the topic and presents them in a way that left me feeling like it wasn't impossible.

In Episode: 472: Peru's Megalithic Cave of Mystery, we bring on Derek Olson, the owner of Megalithic Marvels. Derek joins The Confessionals to talk about two of his biggest passions in life - searching for evidence for lost ancient technology and evidence of ancient giants/hybrid beings. He also shares some of his research on DNA and genetic anomalies of the Paracas skulls. But first, he starts us off with a journey he went on in Peru, where he was led into a largely unknown megalithic cave that the locals believe has mystical powers. When a shaman came into this cave to perform a ritual, things got weird. With people gathered around during the ritual, one man let out a blood-curdling scream as he was targeted by something from another realm inside the ancient cave.

In Episode 471: Shifting Allegiances, we are joined by Charlie, the father of former guest and current Merkel Media film crew member Joel Thomas from VanTesla. When Joel was on the show, we mentioned how his father was at one time in his life pursuing a Satanic cult path to find his place in the world, and when I heard that I knew I had to talk to Charlie. In Episode 471, he talks to me about his experiences with the satanic cult and, when it didn't go as planned, how he had a miraculous moment where he turned his life over to Jesus Christ and never looked back. Charlie also shares what he's seen and experienced from wizards performing magic to demonically possessed people.

As many know I attended the Paranormal/Dogman Conference hosted by Josh Turner from the Paranormal Round Table earlier this month. I brought my recording equipment in hopes of interviewing people attending the conference and releasing our discussions as an episode. While I did get to have several people record with me, our time was cut short after the fourth guest. To add to the episode, I decided to include a few short interviews I had stored in order to give today’s episode more length and content. On Episode 470: MUFON's Holosky, we will be switching back and forth between interviews from the Paranormal/Dogman Conference, and interviews recorded in the studio!

In Episode 469: Life Spawning the Paranormal, Allie joins The Confessionals to share her story. When she was a young girl, Allie and her family carried an extra “passenger" in their car that appeared to her parents. That event seemed to set her life off on a crash course with the paranormal. It seems like as she went through life, the harder it got meant the more paranormal things would take place.

In Episode 468: The Oak Ridge Dogman Portals we bring Adam into the studio! A few weeks ago, Adam emailed me after hearing me discuss CERN, Oak Ridge, portals in those locations, and entities coming through them. 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 467: Galactic Attachments, Shane joins the show. He shares his progression into a spiritual lifestyle that on the surface seemed fine and positive. But little did he know that beneath that paper-thin surface was a storm brewing that would soon engulf his life.
