In Episode 198: The Evil Nicky, we have a two-guest show with both Perry and Dan joining us! First, we talk to Perry who details a very scary experience he had as a kid playing hide-and-go-seek with friends. He thought he was in the closet with a buddy... but it turned out it was something otherworldly. Then we bring on Dan who is a truck driver and happened to cross paths with a bigfoot one night while out in his rig!

In Episode 457: The Little Green Man, Steven joins us to share some weird things he went through in a home he lived in as a child, as well as some haunting experiences in a church where he once worked. He first begins his stories by telling us about his father's experiences performing two exorcisms, and how one of them centered around a little green man who was terrorizing a young boy.

In Episode 456: The Portal Necklace, Kelsey joins The Confessionals to share some exciting experiences in her life. Some of her experiences sounded a little familiar to me, and left me wondering if a dream I had when I was little was actually more than I originally believed. But, as Kelsey and I talk, we dive into a story about a necklace, which one night appeared to open a paranormal portal of sorts. The encounter had her running, ducking, and hiding from something that seemed to be coming after her.

In Episode 333: Ghost Of The USS Forrestal, we are joined in the studio by Tony’s Uncle Mark as he discusses being stationed aboard the haunted USS Forrestal while serving in the Navy. The USS Forrestal experienced a tragedy in the 1960s when a missile was mistakenly launched onboard, resulting in many fires that claimed the lives of over 160 men. One of the men who escaped death that day, only to be captured as a POW a few weeks later, was none other than former senator John McCain. Needless to say, this aircraft carrier has sailed with tragic baggage throughout its history. As time passed, rumors circulated of apparitions of past sailors appearing on the ship; one was even seen so often that the crew named him George. Mark shares some ghost stories with us and describes what life out at sea was like for all those years. We discuss why he believes he never witnessed a UFO despite his many years at sea, and he also tells us about living with his family in a haunted house in Massachusetts, where a former owner died and odd things occurred. As a journalist in the Navy with over 20 years of service, Mark decided to pursue novel writing once he retired. He is now the established author of a book trilogy called the “Forever Avalon” series. Combining experiences from his Navy service with his love for sci-fi, he created a fantasy world that begins when a storm slams into a ship and pushes the characters onto an uncharted island – but not just any island. The family finds themselves in another world frozen in time, on the magical island of Avalon, a place of eternal magic where the descendants of King Arthur rule. And this is just where the “Forever Avalon” series begins!

In Episode 455: The Interdimensional Creature of Tennessee, Kris shares the paranormal encounters that both he and his whole family have experienced. He tells us about seeing an old lady crawling down a hallway wall, while at the same time his mother saw strange "laser" lights. Among other things, he tells stories from his family's farm including bigfoot and a bizarre tree-shaking experience in the forest - the same type of shaking that my team experienced in Kentucky while filming Expedition Dogman.

In Episode 454: The Inverted World, we are joined by Ashleigh from Australia for a two-part overtime episode. Ashleigh has had a life filled with the paranormal and bizarre. From "scribbled men" and the "black doorman" to out-of-body experiences, to what I at first thought was a dogman but now, with new knowledge that I've gained since our recording, I believe could have been a rake entity, for lack of better terminology. With all these things in her life, Ashleigh has been through a lot. Her most intriguing encounter in this first hour is when she slipped into an inverted world that was this world, but different. She describes what she saw and what happened, and her experiences are like talking with someone straight out of a "Stranger Things" episode! Also, you can join The Confessionals on "The Spirits Are Inn" tour when we visit the Shanley Hotel in New York on JULY 1-2, 2022 as we have a two-day and one-night haunted adventure!

In Episode 112, we bring on Tony's younger brother Jack to talk about Pennsylvania’s 2018 UFO sightings, the pyramid-shaped UFO seen over the Pentagon, and the mysterious disappearance of young Casey Hathaway, who after being rescued told authorities that a bear kept him warm and safe for two days! After the extended introduction with Jack, we hear from guest Javier, who shares his experiences witnessing a ghost monk and a shadow man in New Mexico!

In Episode 453: Summoning Azazel we are joined by a guest that requested to remain anonymous. She had some experiences that she has never shared with people and was very hesitant to do so. She seems to have had a run-in with the fallen angel Azazel caused by a ritual she briefly watched at the end of a video. After viewing the ritual weird things started happening around her home. She went back to the video to investigate and she found that the ritual was no longer there. So she reached out to the creator of the video and that's when things get even more bizarre. She also talks about premonitions she has had, her encounter with bigfoot as a young girl, and the possession she seems to have gone through.  You can join The Confessionals on "The Spirits Are Inn" tour when we visit the Shanley Hotel in New York on July 1-2, 2022 as we have a two-day and one-night haunted adventure!

In Episode 452: Abducted and Implanted, we are joined by Ryan in the United Kingdom. Since he was a young child, Ryan has had experiences that seem to be paranormal - on the surface. But after hearing his story, you will be left wondering if his perceived abduction experiences are related to his early paranormal experiences. Ryan believes they are all connected, and it's hard to argue with him when you hear about his experiences. From haunting entities to abductions with implants, to catching things on camera in his house, Ryan shares his incredible life story.
