The Confessionals 810: The Pagan Rituals an FBI Agent Saw
Nov 18, 2025
01:46:49
An FBI Agent goes undercover inside America’s darkest pagan cults… and discovers something far more sinister than criminal activity. Rituals. Blood offerings. Blóts. Pagan ceremonies that weren’t just symbolic, something was responding.
In this exclusive interview, a retired federal agent, Scott Payne, recounts the supernatural encounters he experienced while infiltrating extremist groups who blended ideology with occult ritual. What started as an investigation into domestic terror slowly revealed a deeper war, one not fought with weapons, but with spirits, influence, and ancient forces still active today.
Inside these pagan rituals, the Kingdom of Darkness wasn’t just present… it looked back.
If you’re interested in the supernatural world behind real investigations, spiritual warfare, cults, rituals, and the hidden battle influencing culture today, this is an episode you won’t forget.
Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
