In episode 687: Face Off With Fallen Angels, Matt joins to share his journey through dark spiritual realms and personal transformation, that was marked by his exposure to hidden, malevolent forces. Raised in a household with both Christian and Jewish traditions, he became disillusioned and drifted into the occult. Matt's fascination with Kabbalah and black magic eventually led him to a shocking encounter with a terrifying creature—a horned, owl-like entity standing five feet tall. In a moment of desperation, Matt invoked the name of Jesus Christ, and the entity vanished, sparking a dramatic shift in his life. This initial confrontation set off a cascade of bizarre and frightening events: electronics malfunctioned as if controlled by unseen forces, strangers seemed to follow him with unnatural precision, and he witnessed shape-shifting beings he came to recognize as Shadim. These entities, sometimes taking on the form of Bigfoot-like creatures with glowing eyes, appeared to manipulate the people around him and even the very environment he moved through. Despite the isolation and escalating danger, Matt remained resolute in his faith, refusing to surrender as the entities sought to destroy him.

In Episode 686: Bigfoot's Secret Lair, Tony and Kelley discuss an investigation at a private property in North Carolina known for frequent Bigfoot activity. The property, owned by a family for over 200 years, has multiple trails, some of which are graveled for easy access. Described as "Bigfoot Disney World" by the owner, it has been a hotspot for strange occurrences, such as rock-throwing, mysterious smells, and vocalizations that seem to mimic animals. Kelley and the Squatch Watchers discovered what they believe to be ancient artifacts and structures on the land, including deer mandibles and stick structures that were possibly used as blinds. They also encountered unexplained lights, described as green orbs, which seemed to flirt with the team before disappearing. The property is believed to have spiritual significance, with burial mounds and other markers that suggest it could have been an ancient religious site. This mix of paranormal and archaeological evidence made the investigation compelling, with potential ties to ancient civilizations and unexplained phenomena.
