    690: Cryptid Warfare Operations

    In episode 690: Cryptid Warfare Operations, the Cryptid Warfare Operations team joins Tony to talk about some of their most wild experiences in the field. They begin by explaining that during a mission in Mountain City, the team encountered strange creatures pacing them in the woods, triggering alarms and causing tense moments with rifles drawn. On another investigation in Kentucky’s Mammoth Cave the team made eerie discoveries, including growls and unsettling encounters near an abandoned SUV, possibly tied to missing people. Finally, the team shares of their experience, in a separate hunt in Tennessee, while the they explored a cave where strange footprints, feathers, and paranormal activity were linked to local legends of Skinwalkers, they encountered extremely eerie paranormal activity. Their experiences culminated in mysterious events like infrasound attacks and sightings of shadowy figures, hinting at a deeper, unexplained reality in these remote regions.

    RELOADED | 480: The Hidden Origins Of Skinwalker Ranch | Clyde Lewis

    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 689: The Bovine-Nephilim Connection, Julia shares her story of growing up in the Ozarks, where she thought her family's superhuman strength and strange connection with animals were normal. Raised in a deeply spiritual family, she witnessed events that led her to believe her bloodline might be part of a hybrid Nephilim lineage. Her daughter, Jackie, developed unique abilities, seeing spirits and shadowy figures, which intensified as she grew older. A mysterious figure named Rune, an ancient being from another realm, regularly visited Jackie, and their strange encounters blurred the line between supernatural phenomena and genetic inheritance.

    Members Preview | 687: Face Off With Fallen Angels

    In episode 687: Face Off With Fallen Angels, Matt joins to share his journey through dark spiritual realms and personal transformation, that was marked by his exposure to hidden, malevolent forces. Raised in a household with both Christian and Jewish traditions, he became disillusioned and drifted into the occult. Matt's fascination with Kabbalah and black magic eventually led him to a shocking encounter with a terrifying creature—a horned, owl-like entity standing five feet tall. In a moment of desperation, Matt invoked the name of Jesus Christ, and the entity vanished, sparking a dramatic shift in his life. This initial confrontation set off a cascade of bizarre and frightening events: electronics malfunctioned as if controlled by unseen forces, strangers seemed to follow him with unnatural precision, and he witnessed shape-shifting beings he came to recognize as Shadim. These entities, sometimes taking on the form of Bigfoot-like creatures with glowing eyes, appeared to manipulate the people around him and even the very environment he moved through. Despite the isolation and escalating danger, Matt remained resolute in his faith, refusing to surrender as the entities sought to destroy him.
