649: Lilith and The Fallen
In episode 649: Lilith and The Fallen, Bo, from The Bump Podcast, dives into the mystifying legend of Lilith, a figure steeped in demonic lore and occult mysteries. Historically referenced in arcane sources like the Zohar and the Babylonian Talmud, Lilith's narrative intertwines with the saga of the Fallen, or Watchers—celestial beings who defied the heavens by mating with mortal women, imparting to them esoteric wisdom and advanced technologies. Portrayed as a succubus, a vampire, and the sinister strangler of infants, Bo explains Lilith's dark allure, which is, magnified by her association with owls, creatures symbolizing her mysterious and nocturnal nature.
Bo weaves personal stories into his exploration, emphasizing the critical role of spiritual warfare and the transformative power of prayer in confronting these supernatural entities. Tony then proposes that the infamous Mothman might be a contemporary embodiment of Lilith's enduring spirit, while they both speculate that Bigfoot represents an Eliud, direct descendants of the Nephilim lineage. They then discuss chilling testimonials from those who claim encounters with Bigfoot-like beings, reinforcing the need for meticulous research and study to unravel these profound mysteries and to share this hidden knowledge with confidence and clarity.

Members Preview | 648: Red Portal Book
In episode 648: Red Portal Book, Hunter shares an incredible story that will have you on the edge of your seat. While exploring an abandoned house, Hunter and his friends stumble upon a hidden room teeming with ancient books. Their discovery of a mysterious red book marked by a four-leaf clover, hidden within the pages, unleashes a sinister sequence: images of a young girl stalked by a shadowy figure in a meadow fill its pages, igniting a palpable dread. If that were all, it would still be an eeire experience, however there was so much more that happened after they obtained the book, that it left them clearly shaken. Convinced the malevolent force from the book now haunts them, the group of friends grapple with the chilling possibility that the room was a gateway to another dimension, now perhaps accessible only through remnants of its existence. They consider seeking out the property's past owners for clues, all the while questioning the reality of interdimensional travel.

In episode 647: Territory Of The Beast, Wes Germer from Sasquatch Chronicles, and Tony begin the show with a discussion on 'Sasquatch and the Missing Man', the new Merkel Media documentary, which centers around Wes' bone chilling story. They explore hair-raising encounters with creatures like Bigfoot and Dogman, particularly a thrilling story from Provo, Utah.

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 talked 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 to. 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.
