    Paranormal PTSD, Cursed African Death Masks, and Secret Christian Witches

    Askia sits down with Dona Strohbehn, a supernatural investigator and 'Paranormal Therapist.' They dig into paranormal PTSD, why the mental health field keeps getting it wrong, and what it actually takes to heal someone who's been attacked by a shadow person. Yes, that happened to her. ______________________________ Learn more about Dona and paranormal therapy: https://www.instagram.com/theparanormaltherapist https://theparanormaltherapist.com SUBMIT YOUR SCARY STORIES: https://forms.gle/sQJhS31p7oMoG9tv6 Go check out Warming Trends, the company that built the amazing fire centerpiece on our set! https://www.warming-trends.com Produced by Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________ Dona Strohbehn has been seeing, hearing, and feeling things since she was two years old. What started as 'imaginary friends' her parents dismissed turned into a 40-year career bridging clinical mental health therapy with paranormal investigation. She holds a Master's in therapy, specializes in trauma and PTSD caused by anomalous events, and uses real clinical tools to separate a spiritual experience from a psychotic break. This episode goes deep. Dona breaks down why mainstream mental health practitioners are quick to slap a psychosis label on paranormal experiences without asking a single follow-up question. She talks about her Pagan practice, Celtic protective magic, and why she keeps Archangel Michael on speed dial during channeling sessions. She recounts being locked in a bathroom at the Lizzie Borden house, channeling three separate entities at Waverly Hills Sanatorium, and getting physically attacked at the Tremont House in Galveston by a shadow person. If you've ever had something happen in your home you couldn't explain, this one hits different. Dona's message is clear: your experience is real, your experience is valid, and there is no holy water required. "If your therapist is close-minded, find a new freaking therapist." ______________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Dona Strohbehn 12:45 - Mental health vs the paranormal world 14:38 - Speaking directly to ghosts 16:25 - Paganism and Christian Witches 20:51 - Becoming the Paranormal Therapist 24:38 - What therapy actually looks like 34:18 - The haunted Lizzie Borden house 38:15 - The haunted Waverly Hills Sanatorium 44:18 - Protector spirits 49:16 - What is Paranormal PTSD? 52:21 - Attacked by ghosts in the Tremont House 57:57 - What paranormal therapy looks like 1:06:41 - Losing sense of reality 1:16:59 - Religious trauma 1:23:33 - Reliving paranormal experiences 1:25:45 - Ouija boards 1:31:45 - African death masks 1:39:44 - Entities following you home 1:43:12 - Curing paranormal trauma 1:45:49 - Dealing with skeptics

    Askia sits down with Lindsey AKA Phantomette, a solo paranormal investigator, to dig into her most terrifying experiences, from demonic presences at the Patterson House to a possessed doll that wrecked her apartment. They also get into the real dangers of investigating alone as a woman, the Midnight Man game, and whether ghosts are actually interdimensional beings. ______________________________ Watch Lindsey's paranormal investigations! https://www.youtube.com/@Itsphantomette https://www.instagram.com/itsphantomette Go check out Warming Trends, the company that built the amazing fire centerpiece on our set! https://www.warming-trends.com Produced by Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________ Lindsey has been crawling through abandoned asylums since she was a teenage, and she hasn't stopped since. Now she investigates some of the most notorious haunted locations in the country, alone, with a camera and zero backup.

She also gets into the haunted doll that caused chanting and cost her $666 in car repairs, and the room key from Hotel Apache that brought home a spirit from the 1800s. On top of the ghost stuff, Askia and Lindsey get into self-defense, personal safety as a female investigator, shamanism, crystals, psychic mediums, interdimensional theory, and Lindsey's dream of making it to the Doll Island in Mexico. ______________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Phantomette 09:26 - The haunted Yorktown Memorial Hospital 10:59 - What it's like doing solo investigations 13:08 - The haunted Mizpah hotel 18:18 - The Haunted Hill House 20:01 - Speaking to demons 24:03 - Paranormal investigation equipment 27:03 - Ghost encounters 31:39 - Real life horror 40:27 - Entities following you home 42:26 - Haunted dolls 53:06 - How to protect yourself from evil entities 1:03:26 - What are ghosts really? 1:04:51 - The Midnight Man 1:08:36 - Are dreams actually visions? 1:10:13 - How to find a real psychic medium 1:13:04 - Moldavite and dark crystals 1:19:33 - Spirit attachments 1:20:32 - Shamans are real 1:27:09 - The Island of the Dolls

    Project Blue Beam, Simulation Theory, and the "Lechuza" Owl Witch

    Askia sits down with Davyid from "Down the Rabbit Hole" for a no-holds-barred conversation covering haunted houses, Project Blue Beam, Bigfoot theories, alien weaponry, and surviving a fire that may have pulled Dayvid into a different universe. These aren't experts, just two dudes swapping wild stories and opinions in the dark. Highlights include a marine confessing alien weapon secrets during a ride-share and Dayvid waking up with actual gills after nearly dying. ______________________________ Watch "Dayvid Don't Know" https://www.youtube.com/@DayvidfromDTRH Go check out Warming Trends, the company that built the amazing fire centerpiece on our set! https://www.warming-trends.com Produced by Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________ Dayvid joins Askia to unpack decades of paranormal obsession, starting with a childhood near a naval air station and a haunted rental house cursed by a gypsy, complete with a La Lechuza sighting by his dad. From there, the conversation spirals into simulation theory, DMT encounters, Project Blue Beam false flag conspiracies, a heart attack gun used on journalists, and Betty & Barney Hill allegedly abducted by humans pretending to be aliens. They get into Bigfoot being interdimensional slave labor, astral projection warnings, psychics trapped on the moon, and deja vu as proof of alternate lives. Dayvid also opens up about surviving an apartment fire, waking up with unexplained gills, and how a brush with death completely rewired how he moves through the world. Raw, strange, funny, and oddly motivating. ______________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Dayvid from Down the Rabbit Hole 03:02 - La Lechuza 08:40 - DMT creatures 10:16 - Simulation theory 14:24 - Project Blue Beam 19:00 - The Phoenix Lights 20:55 - Energy weapons 29:03 - Alien abductions 37:07 - Human alien hybrids 40:44 - Is Bigfoot an interdimensional being? 49:13 - The Akashic Records 51:29 - Astral projection 59:25 - Are dreams alternate realities? 1:05:01 - Are serial killers all around us? 1:08:25 - Dimension hopping 1:23:25 - Dayvid's ghost encounter 1:29:50 - Choosing to be happy

    What They Don't Tell You About the Satanic Temple

    Askia sits down with Io Locke, an ordained Minister of Satan from The Satanic Temple Austin, to cut through the noise on what Satanism actually is. From a Mormon farm in Oregon to leading a congregation in Austin, TX, Io breaks down the Seven Tenets, Baphomet, religious trauma, bodily autonomy, and why Christian nationalism is way more dangerous than anything The Satanic Temple is doing. ______________________________ Learn more about the Satanic Temple: https://thesatanictemple.com https://thesatanictempleaustin.com Get Yumwoof, the healthiest food for dogs, for 20% with our code HORRORBLE https://yumwoof.com/HORRORble Go check out Warming Trends, the company that built the amazing fire centerpiece on our set! https://www.warming-trends.com Produced by Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________ Io Locke doesn't worship the devil, they don't even believe in one. What they do believe in: empathy, science, personal sovereignty, and making the world better for everyone. This episode digs into the real story behind The Satanic Temple, from its origins fighting abortion bans in Texas to running food drives and menstrual product collections under the name "Menstruating with Satan." Io walks through the difference between theistic and non-theistic Satanism, why the organization's name is intentionally provocative, and what the Baphomet statue is actually about. If you've ever been curious, or just wanted to argue at Thanksgiving, this one's required listening. ______________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Io Locke 03:31 - Discovering the Satanic Temple 06:20 - Defining atheism 10:08 - Types of Satanism 12:22 - The Seven Tenets 13:31 - Anton LaVey 16:33 - Using "Satan" as a protest 19:22 - Religious trauma 24:27 - Kicking people out of the Temple 28:04 - Community outreach 34:33 - Protesting religious groups 36:05 - The pentagram 38:01 - Being provocative on purpose 39:59 - Becoming a Minister of Satan 45:23 - Reactions to being a Satanist 46:48 - The danger of organized religion 49:29 - The Apocrypha 51:08 - Evil on earth 54:40 - Christian nationalism 56:47 - Rituals in the Satanic Temple 59:56 - Misconceptions about Satanism

    Demonology, Real Life Possessions, and the DEADLIEST Cults Ever

    Professor Joseph Laycock joins Askia to break down demonology, exorcism, and the academic study of spirit possession.

    Real Life Vampires, the First Serial Killer, and the Ghosts of Austin

    Askia sits down with Austin ghost tour guide David to to talk haunted history, military trauma, America's first serial killer, and whether vampires are walking among us.

He's a Marine Corps veteran, Army chaplain, ultramarathoner, and a guy who genuinely felt the presence of LBJ in a hotel lobby. This episode covers the dark corners of human nature — from Austin's first serial killer case (the Servant Girl Annihilator) and early criminal profiling, to moral injury in the military, the insanity defense, and why the scariest thing on earth isn't a monster — it's a person. They get into the concept of ghosts as grief, what happens when trauma goes unbelieved, modern-day vampires (yes, really), and what David saw when he nearly died in a spinning helicopter over Baghdad. Plus — his 11-year-old son won't go in one room of their house. Make of that what you will. If you're into horror, history, the paranormal, military stories, or just want to hear someone talk honestly about war, death, and the afterlife — this episode delivers. ______________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing David from Ghost City Tours 03:41 - Superstitions and ghosts in the military 04:56 - The living history of Austin 06:54 - America's first serial killer (Servant Girl Annihilator) 09:24 - What makes a murderer? 14:32 - How violence affects the soul 19:59 - The horror of disbelief 24:40 - Paranormal experiences on tours 26:44 - David's ghost encounters 27:54 - David's Satan hallucination 35:17 - Why do we love ghost stories? 37:31 - The ghosts of Austin 40:06 - The haunted Driskill Hotel 41:58 - Dark ghosts and energy on tours 46:49 - The military training you to die 53:22 - How war traumatizes you 57:06 - Being a noncombatant in the army 59:40 - The horrors of war 1:01:39 - David's helicopter near-death experience 1:03:43 - Human cruelty 1:06:28 - Real life vampires 1:12:52 - What happens when we die?

    Real Exorcisms, The Hat Man, and Why "Aliens" are Actually Demonic

    Pastor Ramon Perez has performed exorcisms, spoken directly to demons, and witnessed things most people only see in horror movies — and he's here to talk about all of it. From a Gulf War vet who claims he brought back a demon from Iraq, to a man raised from the dead after experiencing hell firsthand, this episode goes places most podcasts won't. ______________________________ Get in contact with Ramon: https://austinexorcism.com Get Yumwoof, the healthiest food for dogs, for 20% with our code HORRORBLE https://yumwoof.com/HORRORble Go check out Warming Trends, the company that built the amazing fire centerpiece on our set! https://www.warming-trends.com Produced by Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________ Pastor Ramon Perez doesn't flinch. He's spent years doing deliverances — not just casting out demons, but tracking down the ROOT cause of demonic influence. He breaks down why most exorcisms fail (and actually make things worse), how Satan's voice sounds exactly like your own inner monologue, and why he once had to facilitate peace between the spirit of a black slave and a white slave owner — both living inside the same man. If that doesn't already have you leaning forward, he also gets into a woman who was literally a bride of Satan with the power to astral project into other people, demonic portals opened by occult movies, alien encounters in El Paso, interdimensional beings, and a conspiracy theory connecting dinosaur bones to the Nephilim. This is spiritual warfare, horror stories, and raw theology colliding in real time. Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, Pastor Ramon's response is simple: "I'd rather be popular with God than with man." ______________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Pastor Ramon Perez 01:38 - The demon from Iraq 02:27 - The 14 month exorcism 05:31 - Going from skeptic to believer 06:57 - Raising someone from the dead 12:12 - Performing an exorcism by yourself 13:14 - The slave vs slave owner possession 20:35 - Satan speaking through people 22:08 - The astral projecting witch 24:01 - Ramon getting attacked by Satan 27:31 - Bad churches 34:15 - Exorcisms in movies vs real life 35:16 - The Hat Man 38:01 - Ghost encounters 43:44 - Personal encounters with aliens 48:59 - Are aliens demonic? 53:00 - The Giant of Kandahar 54:01 - How to detect demons 56:29 - Why is there evil in the world?
