    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.

    RELOADED | 476: Skinwalker Encounter at Quantico Military Base

    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.  Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts List: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/helene-relief Sasquatch and The Missing Man: merkelfilms.com Merkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.com The Confessionals Members App: Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrh Google Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZ Become a member for AD FREE listening and EXTRA shows: theconfessionalspodcast.com/join AFFILIATES Go Silent with SLNT Faraday Bags: https://alnk.to/clXuRY5 EMP Shield: empshield.com Coupon Code: "tony" for $50 off every item you purchase!

    In episode 703: Stalked By The Crawler, John recounts a chilling encounter with a creature known as the Crawler, or Rake. What started as a casual hike in Logan, Ohio, turned into a terrifying chase as John and his cousin were pursued by this unnaturally tall, hollow-eyed figure, its elongated limbs moving with unsettling speed. The story deepens as John shares how his girlfriend, miles away and years earlier, had her own encounters with a similar creature, even finding it lurking near her home. John explores whether these shadowy beings are mere legends, or something darker that defies explanation, stalking those who cross their path.

    702: Surviving A Doomsday Cult

    In episode 702: Surviving A Doomsday Cult, Jon, from The 21CD Podcast, and his brother AJ revisit a haunting chapter of their past; a childhood on remote land under the influence of a mystifying figure who seemed determined to shape their family’s beliefs. Isolated from the outside world, they found themselves woven into strange rituals and kept under strict rules that made their lives feel increasingly unreal. Now, they reveal what it was like to grow up in a hidden cult and share stories that have never been told before. The experience changed them, but their search for answers didn’t end there. Years later, a journey to Iceland brought them face-to-face with something that was so shocking, they couldn't believe it. During a late-night hike through an ancient landscape, shadowy figures moved on the cliffs above them, blending folklore with bone-chilling reality. In this episode, they share their tales of life on the edge of two worlds, the real and the supernatural.

    RELOADED | 345: The Snake Demon

    In Episode 345: The Snake Demon, guest Colin joins the show to tell us about his paranormal experiences. In 2007, he traveled to Thailand, where one night he awoke to find a "shadow person" sitting on top of him. From that point on, it seemed like the paranormal activity in his life ramped up significantly. He has had many odd experiences over the years, and has wondered if his connection to the paranormal is something that runs in his family, as his grandmother and mother have also witnessed strange things like ufos, shadow people, and memories of past lives. Colin previously listened to The Confessionals Episode 199: Miracles and Exorcisms with guest Hector, and has since joined up with him to pursue pushing back against the darkness in this world.
