    708: Hidden History Of Dogman

    In episode 708: Hidden History Of Dogman, Seth Vanderbrooke from episode 652: Ancient Dogmen, hopes to answer the question: What if ancient maps, forgotten myths, and obscure manuscripts are more than just relics of history? Seth shares that Dogmen, creatures with canine heads and human bodies, are documented across centuries and continents. From biblical passages to obscure Latin texts, he dives deep into the evidence that points to the possibility of their existence. Along the way, Seth shares jaw-dropping insights about Nephilim bloodlines, supernatural encounters, and how ancient narratives connect with the modern paranormal. Are Dogmen historical fact or elaborate fable?

    RELOADED | 170: Bigfoot In Rural Pennsylvania

    On Episode 170, guest Jeff joins The Confessionals Podcast to share his bigfoot encounter that happened in my home state of Pennsylvania! The experience pushed Jeff into a new reality that he never sought out or wanted. Jeff eventually told some of his family about his bigfoot encounter, but his son never completely believed him - until one day when, not far from the Philadelphia area, his son had a sighting of his own!

From childhood encounters with shadowy entities to a chilling face-to-face with a winged, bat-like figure, her experiences defy logic and leave a lingering unease. However, when malevolent forces began manifesting in her home and her most vulnerable moments, Heather turned to unyielding faith. One event would push her belief to the brink: a miraculous resurrection that challenged the natural order and confirmed the power of prayer.

    706: Dogman Glitch

    In episode 706: Dogman Glitch, Brandon from Tinfoil Tales recounts a chilling night in Peru, Indiana, where a routine drive turned into a confrontation with the unexplainable. A towering, headless figure appeared in the road, its jerky movements defying logic and reason. As Brandon and his coworker tried to make sense of what they witnessed, the encounter escalated, revealing a creature that stood taller than any man, with features both animalistic and otherworldly. In a town already steeped in strange legends of upright canines and winged humanoids, this experience left a mark that would haunt him for years, drawing him deeper into the mysteries of the unknown.

    RELOADED | 299: The Spider Crawl

    In Episode 299: The Spider Crawl, we are joined by Cheyanne and Joanna. Cheyanne shares some significant paranormal experiences that both she and her family members have been through throughout her life. These experiences range from UFOs, to ghosts, to the “Black Nemesis.” Following Cheyanne's stories, her brother's fiancée Joanna joins us to describe her bigfoot experience in Washington state. While picking mushrooms, she saw a large creature that walked away from her in a bizarre manner - by dropping down to all fours and "spider walking," all while keeping its torso turned towards her! To Joanna, the creature did not seem like it was of this world, leaving her very confused by what she saw. Interesting to note is that Joanna’s bigfoot encounter is eerily similar to that of the experience of Wes Germer from 'Sasquatch Chronicles'.

    In episode 705: Pleiadian's Silent Watch, Ray from episode 623: Sacrificing To Kandahar Giants, joins to share how his life took an unexpected turn after recounting a story from his family’s past. A road trip through Illinois became the gateway to an unexplainable encounter with a massive celestial object. He explains that, what followed was a series of events that pushed him to the brink; visions that dismantled reality, a relentless buzzing in his mind, and a chilling realization that he was being watched. As Ray sought answers, he discovered connections to otherworldly beings and dreams that blurred the line between past and present. Each new experience seemed to pull him deeper into a mystery that defied explanation, leaving him questioning everything he thought he knew.
