RELOADED | 319: The Monster Outside My Window
In Episode 319: The Monster Outside My Window, we are joined by Derrick and Tayler. Derrick begins the show by describing his experience with a creature that approached his window one night while he was sleeping. After researching what he witnessed outside, Derrick concluded that he had seen a Rake. When he told his stepbrother about the encounter, his stepbrother revealed he had seen the same creature, but called it “the monkey man." After Derrick’s story, we talk with Tayler, who reached out to The Confessionals as a new listener. Through tuning in to the program, she started connecting dots between topics she never usually paid much mind. But then she started seeing things in her home, and she wasn't the only one - her husband saw them too. She describes the activity they both experienced, and how they made it stop.

643: Quest For The Ancient Sundial
In episode 643: Quest For The Ancient Sundial, Brian Jeffrey, from Black Mass Paranormal, joins us in studio to dive into the mysterious and often eerie realm of the paranormal across East Tennessee. He explores unsettling missing person cases like that of Summer Wells and discusses bizarre phenomena such as potential portals and supernatural activities. Brian takes us through personal encounters with inexplicable sounds and sightings in mystifying locales like Black Mountain and Frozen Head. He shares chilling accounts of a shadowy figure, a witch-like presence, and ghostly translucent entities, reflecting on the challenges of documenting such elusive phenomena with antiquated equipment. Brian also ventures into speculative territory with mentions of possible government cover-ups and portals to other dimensions. Tony then shares his future plans to return to a site he'd visited 4 years prior, with new information on what could possibly be reptilian entities occupying the area.

RELOADED | 486: The Dark Holler
On Episode 486: The Dark Holler we are joined by Ward Hiney who is the producer, writer, and director of the hit docu-series called, "Dark Holler." Ward reached out to me last year to see if I would be interested in reviewing the first episode of Dark Holler, and we struck up a friendship. He became the main videographer for Merkel Media films as he has an extensive background in videography, which includes filming for Glenn Beck at The Blaze.
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.
These are all things that with which Ward has been faced and had to come to grips with when he stumbled across a family that has a forgotten and not often talked-about history.

Members Preview | 642: The White Beast
In episode 642: The White Beast, Nathan recounts his encounters with a creature dubbed the 'white beast' in the Ozarks, detailing two sightings of a large, faceless entity during his teens, similar to an experience his mother had. He differentiates this creature from Bigfoot, adding to a tapestry of paranormal activity in the area, including tales of interdimensional experiences, a lost girl in a cave, and the mystique of owls. These incidents are part of broader paranormal phenomena involving his family, spanning haunted houses, mysterious sounds, and other eerie encounters, contributing to a decision to move from their current home. Nathan also speaks of alarming occurrences in his household, like strange sleepwalking episodes, objects moving unaided, and a face on a baby monitor, alongside ancestral tales of witchcraft. He plans to move, hoping to escape the unrelenting paranormal activity, and invites others to share similar experiences or theories.
