277: Party In The Basement (Members Trailer)
In Episode 277: Party In The Basement, we talk with Josette about her bizarre experiences in the house where she grew up. Her first recollections are that she had “friends” in this house that only she could see. As she got older, strange things would happen, like doors opening, lights turning on and off, and the sound of something walking around in the house. After she eventually moved out, Josette started having unusual dreams in which people who had died came to her with messages they wanted her to relay to someone still among the living.BECOME A MEMBER AND GET ADDITIONAL SHOWS: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/join

276: When Angels Sing
On Episode 276: When Angels Sing, we talk with guest Michelle about some amazing stories she wants to share. Her experiences range from seeing apparitions; hearing and feeling things she could not see or explain; nightmares; and sleep paralysis. While talking with her, something comes through on the audio that sounds like an explosion of power in a loudspeaker. Michelle and I both hear the noise and it stops us in our tracks! She also describes an occasion when she was in a worship service and heard an angelic voice singing along with the music. Her experience reminds me of a recording of musician Jason Upton performing in concert - during his performance, an angel was seen on stage, and its voice was recorded singing along with him - so I play that angelic audio on today's show!

In Episode 275: The Ringwraith Chased My Friend, we talk with guest Josh, who has been a paranormal investigator in Cecil County, Maryland. Josh has had many paranormal experiences in his life, which prompted him to take up the investigation. In one of those instances, he and his friends were playing as kids when a loose ball rolled into a neighboring church parking lot; when one of Josh’s friends went to retrieve it, they all saw what can only be described as the “ringwraith” from ‘The Lord of the Rings’! In addition to paranormal experiences, Josh also has a Bigfoot report posted on the BFRO site. BECOME A MEMBER AND GET ADDITIONAL SHOWS: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/join

272: The Spirit Observer
In Episode 272: The Spirit Observer, guest Wes shares with us about different entities he has seen throughout his life. These entities do not seem specific to one particular place or event - Wes is a frequent traveler and has seen things appear in many different places. In this episode, we discuss whether he is being followed by supernatural entities or if he can see things that most other people cannot. Some people seem to have the preternatural ability to perceive the spirit world around them, and Wes may just be one of those people!BECOME A MEMBER AND GET ADDITIONAL SHOWS: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinGET SIMPLISAFE TODAY: https://simplisafe.com/confessionals

271: Bigfoot Jumped Into My Life (Members Trailer)
On Episode 271: Bigfoot Jumped Into My Life, we talk with Matthew who at a very young age literally had a bigfoot jump down in front of him. From that point on he and bigfoot had ongoing run-ins. As Matthew got older he started looking into these creatures to learn more about them, especially as one night he found himself face to face with one alongside his bed! Matthew’s first encounter would leave you feeling like these are just giant creatures running around the woods. But as his experiences grew with these things, it leaves you wondering if there is something more to bigfoot than meets the eye.BECOME A MEMBER AND GET ADDITIONAL SHOWS: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/join

268: The Family Witch
In Episode 268: The Family Witch, we are joined by Marlene who shares her family's experiences with a witch. It began when Marlene's uncle needed to visit "Don Julia," a rumored witch in Mexico. As he approached the dwelling of the witch, he saw a giant black and gray vulture glide off the roof, and turn into a tiny old lady! As Marlene shares her family’s stories, you‘ll notice that they are very similar to Abe's experiences from Episode 13: A Witch Doctor’s Request! The striking resemblance will give you a strange reality check, knowing that these practices appear to be more common than one might think!

267: The Dead Doll Hiker and D.C. Sniper (Members Trailer)
On Episode 267: The Dead Doll Hiker and D.C. Sniper, we have Amy joining us to share two stories that are equally bizarre! Her first experience includes a haunting story from the Appalachian Trail, in western Maryland, where she and her friends seem to have encountered a walking, talking dead man! Dressed in a creepy ensemble, it was not until later that Amy realized the man was no longer, in fact, alive. She also shares her personal run-in with the infamous “D.C. Sniper”, who almost ran her over with his car before he was ultimately arrested, tried, and put to death. Finally, we also share a new potentially prophetic dream from Pastor Dana Coverstone, who joined us on Episode 252: Prophetic Dreams for 2020.
