The Confessionals

In Episode 244: The Mothman Haunting, we speak with Ryan about his recurring psychological experience with the Mothman as a young boy, just after he visited Point Pleasant, West Virginia. But before Ryan’s interview, we dive into a recent UFO case that is being called "the modern Roswell." In May 2020, the entire town of Mage, Brazil experienced a strange UFO sighting that involved the military and a possible altercation in the sky. The case spans UFOs, military battles, and extraterrestrials, some of which were speculated to survive the aerial altercation, their location now unknown.

In Episode 501: Awakening To New Realities, we are joined by Andy, who co-hosts a podcast called The Paranormal Peep Show, available on YouTube. Andy joins The Confessionals Podcast to discuss the weird occurrences he has experienced and how they set him on his current path in life. Although he co-hosts a paranormal show and is a psychic, he is also a skeptic, a position that becomes more and more difficult to maintain as he continues to try understanding the paranormal world around him.

In Episode 500: Sasquatch Saga - The Friendship, The Killing, and The Coverup, we are joined by Randy! Recently, Randy has been recovering memories of a childhood he never knew he had. As he recovers his memories, he has been able to piece together an astonishing story about a juvenile bigfoot that befriended him and his childhood friends - a friendship that would come with consequences. As their comfort with the creature grew, they became less and less aware of each other's differences. Then one day, when Randy and the juvenile sasquatch known as Mike were playing, Mike acted in a way that scared Randy. In turn, Randy's fear confused Mike and caused him to lash out abruptly, engaging them in a physical struggle. Their struggle caught the attention of both an adult Sasquatch nearby and Randy's father. Through a series of unfortunate events, Randy was left nearly naked, Mike was shot dead, and soon the government moved in to cover up the whole incident. To erase all traces of what happened, the government hypnotized nearly everyone involved in the events, but the work they performed on Randy seems to be wearing off sooner than they expected. Now, Randy is on a mission to track down all the parties involved, confront them, and prove that Sasquatch is not only real but also nothing to be feared.

In Episode 499: Deception Optics Of Kanye West, we are joined by Sean and Joel from Kill The Mockingbirds podcast! Kill The Mockingbirds is the newest podcast to join the Merkel Media network, and they join Episode 499 to give a little flavor of what people can expect to hear on their show. With all the recent drama surrounding Kanye West in the mainstream media, there is an underlying storyline that isn't being given attention - one in which Kanye isn't accepted for who he says he is, but rather is a psy-op to push further dividing propaganda upon the people of the world. Joel and Sean believe that Kanye isn't who he says he is and the media knows he doesn't mean what he says, but they all are on the same page to make him out to be a villain. Is the media attempting to turn him into their "dark knight"in these times when the global citizenry is waking up to the brainwashing the media has been implementing into the public for decades?

In Episode 498: The Return Of Ancient Technology, we are again joined by Derek Olson from Megalithic Marvels! A few weeks ago I was listening to "The Joe Rogan Experience" with Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson, and they were discussing the human timeline, how the mainstream is completely off with human history, and when humans possessed advanced technology. As they were talking, Randall started to add information hesitantly, and revealed that he is in communication with a group of people who have seemingly cracked the code of ancient technology. He gave an example in which he said these people created a generator that has no moving parts, but instead is operational based on the strategic placement of different shapes. Essentially, the functioning of the technology comes down to math. This same group of people is planning to open-source their information to the world so it can no longer be hidden or controlled ever again. I instantly understood why Randall was acting so hesitant, because speaking about this information too soon could draw unwanted attention before the big information dump. We have seen this in the past with Nikola Tesla's death when the government moved in to take all his research and use it for themselves; only over time have trickles of his research and understanding been released. Could the information waiting to be revealed become a shift into a higher technological existence, or will those that rule from the shadows spoil this release and take the information for themselves to continue their reigning control over humanity?

In Episode 497: Black Eyed Kid UFO Abduction, we are going to be speaking with Brandie. Her story involves not only her own abductions, but also the experiences of her father and her children. It started when she was a newborn baby and an entity visited her while she slept in her parents’ room. During this visitation, her mother witnessed the whole event but could not move because she was suddenly paralyzed and could only watch the interaction take place. Later in childhood, Brandie was coaxed outside her home by a little girl with black eyes. Once she began having exchanges with the little girl, she started to realizer something was off. But at that point, it was too late - Brandie was put on a craft after begging to be left alone. Her story is one that makes you question things like, "What are the black-eyed kids?", "What really are UFOs?", and "Could UFOs and these encounters with beings be something more nefarious than previously thought?"

In Episode 496: The Mothman Curse, we are joined by Cody Alford. He is a relatively new listener, as he found the show through Episode 468: The Oak Ridge Dogman Portals and realized that he lived very close to Merkel Media HQ. He reached out to see if I needed any help in the audio production department because that is what he does for a living, having worked worked on popular TV shows and movies as a sound design engineer. Through talking with him I learned that he is into paranormal investigating and has a bit of a haunted family past. His parents are from Point Pleasant, West Virginia and it is said they are cursed because of their family lineage being from Point Pleasant. He joins Episode 496 for a conversation about his life and what kinds of paranormal things he and his family have gone through.

In Episode 331: The Devil's In The Music, we are joined by Joel who is one-half of the new music group called VanTesla. VanTesla flew into Philadelphia to record multiple shows in the studio with me. Joel and I sat down to talk about the paranormal experiences he has been through in his life. He begins by sharing how his father almost got sucked into a Satanic cult while he was in college, and how those experiences changed his life's trajectory to become a pastor. Though he grew up with his dad warning him of the dangers that lay in the darkness, Joel decided to take his own path. He dated a woman who practiced the dark arts, and the baggage she carried spilled into their relationship to the point that she became demonically possessed, as a demon took control of her body to speak to Joel. Joel became more deeply involved in music, which lead him to become a Free Mason in an attempt to gain power and fortune. He shares his experiences as a Free Mason in the "Overtime" segment of Episode 331, available for members on the member site, as well as his bizarre UFO encounter that caused me to wonder if he had seen several ships returning to a mother ship with abductees.
