The Confessionals

In Episode 471: Shifting Allegiances, we are joined by Charlie, the father of former guest and current Merkel Media film crew member Joel Thomas from VanTesla. When Joel was on the show, we mentioned how his father was at one time in his life pursuing a Satanic cult path to find his place in the world, and when I heard that I knew I had to talk to Charlie. In Episode 471, he talks to me about his experiences with the satanic cult and, when it didn't go as planned, how he had a miraculous moment where he turned his life over to Jesus Christ and never looked back. Charlie also shares what he's seen and experienced from wizards performing magic to demonically possessed people.  Become a member for AD FREE listening and EXTRA shows: theconfessionalspodcast.com/join SPONSORS GET Cerebral: getcerebral.com/tony GET SIMPLISAFE TODAY: simplisafe.com/confessionals GET Hello Fresh: hellofresh.com/confessionals16 Promo Code: "confessionals16" for 16 FREE MEALS!!!

As many know I attended the Paranormal/Dogman Conference hosted by Josh Turner from the Paranormal Round Table earlier this month. I brought my recording equipment in hopes of interviewing people attending the conference and releasing our discussions as an episode. While I did get to have several people record with me, our time was cut short after the fourth guest. To add to the episode, I decided to include a few short interviews I had stored in order to give today’s episode more length and content. On  Episode 470: MUFON's Holosky, we will be switching back and forth between interviews from the Paranormal/Dogman Conference, and interviews recorded in the studio!

In Episode 270: The Patients Are Possessed, we talk to our guest Will, a clinical supervisor at a treatment facility.

In Episode 469: Life Spawning the Paranormal, Allie joins The Confessionals to share her story. When she was a young girl, Allie and her family carried an extra “passenger" in their car that appeared to her parents. That event seemed to set her life off on a crash course with the paranormal. It seems like as she went through life, the harder it got meant the more paranormal things would take place.  Become a member for AD FREE listening and EXTRA shows: theconfessionalspodcast.com/join SPONSORS GET Cerebral: getcerebral.com/tony GET SIMPLISAFE TODAY: simplisafe.com/confessionals GET Hello Fresh: hellofresh.com/confessionals16 Promo Code: "confessionals16" for 16 FREE MEALS!!!

In Episode 468: The Oak Ridge Dogman Portals, we bring Adam into the studio! I have made it no secret as of late that I not only believe there is a parallel world like the Upside Down in Stranger Things, I am also on the verge of saying I know it exists and is far more complex and dangerous than the Stranger Things show leads us to think. A few weeks ago, Adam emailed me after hearing me discuss CERN, Oak Ridge, portals in those locations, and entities coming through them. In Adam's email, he said, "I'm ready to talk about something that happened to me involving Oak Ridge and the undeniable evil demonic entities I know are coming through there. It's a lot to talk about but I'm coming to you because I heard you mention something about the portals there. I can honestly say it's nothing like you've ever heard and it's hard to believe but I swear on my life it's true. That said it directly involves this hell beast called 'Dogman' which I now believe is not from anywhere but another dimension."With that information, I knew I had to get Adam in the studio as fast as possible to hear what he's been through. Adam experienced an event that lasted three days and traversed multiple locations. One late night when he was fishing near the Oak Ridge facility in Tennessee, he encountered UFOs acting in strange ways that hadn’t yet been heard about on this show. Those UFOs led to him encountering portals, and culminated in a high-speed chase down the highway with creatures trying to push Adam’s car off the road. How Adam survived their attack will leave you on the edge of your seat, as it did me sitting across the table from him!   Become a member for AD FREE listening and EXTRA shows: theconfessionalspodcast.com/join SPONSORS GET Cerebral: getcerebral.com/tony GET SIMPLISAFE TODAY: simplisafe.com/confessionals GET Hello Fresh: hellofresh.com/confessionals16 Promo Code: "confessionals16" for 16 FREE MEALS!!!

Can inanimate objects travel through time?  Can they defy logic and reason? What about entire buildings?

In Episode 466: What Is CERN? we are joined by Dave Zed from Generation Zed Podcast. A few months ago, I was a guest on the popular show, The Union of the Unwanted, a panel discussion show. They brought me on to talk about UFOs, and that is where I met Dave. He blew me away with the knowledge he has obtained and he left me wanting to learn more. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, when we had a listener ask in our Instagram comments, "What is CERN?" I knew  then that I had to do a show on CERN, because the last CERN-related episode was Episode 57! It's clearly been too long and new listeners need to be introduced to the subject. I reached out to Dave, as he seemed to be someone who might know a little about CERN, and my assumptions we correct. On Episode 466, Dave breaks down what he believes CERN to be and what its true intentions are in the world. Is it simply a harmless underground 17-mile-in-diameter particle accelerator that crosses the border of Switzerland and France? Or, is there something more to it that they are not telling us about? Is it opening portals to another dimension? Are things actually coming through these supposed portals? If the latter is true, could we possibly be living in the real-life version of Stranger Things or worse? We explore these topics in today's episode, "What Is CERN?"

In Episode 465: Becoming The Hunted, we have two interviews in one episode! We start off with Jon, who has had different paranormal experiences but never knew how to handle them. It wasn't until he tuned into The Confessionals and heard a discussion about how to end these types of occurrences that he decided to try it and the results were interesting. Then, we bring on Patrick who shares a bizarre night he had with his friends while out in the woods. They were looking for a place to do target practice and they ended up running into a lady in white, seeing a floating window, and being hunted by a creature that looked a lot like what is commonly described as the rake.
