266: Hell, Heaven, and Back
In Episode 266: Hell, Heaven, and Back, we speak with Jason and Amy, a married couple who went through a traumatic experience that most people can't even imagine. Jason has congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and almost died from the condition several times as a child. On December 9, 2016, he and Amy had some take-out food that triggered his medical issues - and this time, Jason did end up dying. He was dead for over 30 minutes before miraculously coming back to life! In those 30 minutes, Jason went to hell and heaven, and now he's back to tell us everything he saw on the other side of this life!BECOME A MEMBER AND GET ADDITIONAL SHOWS: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/join

265: The Tennessee Goatman (Members Trailer)
On Episode 265: The Tennessee Goatman, we speak with Mike about the time he was with his ex-wife and saw a half man and half goat entity. Later we talk about the time he and his mom had a bigfoot experience but she was the only one that saw it, though they both were looking in the same direction. That situation leads to a conversation about what bigfoot could be and a mini-rant of my thoughts on some bigfoot researchers that I came across early in my “bigfoot enthusiast” days that helped shape how I approach hosting this show!

263: The Visitors In Sleep Paralysis (Members Trailer)
On Episode 263: The Visitors in Sleep Paralysis, we have a double interview episode! First, we have Rick joining us to share his UFO encounter in Mobile, Alabama. Following his story, we bring on Savannah who details her dramatic experiences in sleep paralysis. During her first experience with sleep paralysis, Savannah recalls a guttural voice whispering in her ear, “I’m going to take care of you.” From that point on, sleep paralysis has been very consistent in her life - she has seen figures while paralyzed and even seems to have had an “Inception”-like paralysis experience.

260: Ghosts, Aliens, Bigfoot, and Enoch
On Episode 260: Ghosts, Aliens, Bigfoot, and Enoch, we talk to two different people about their experiences. First on the show, Karl shares with us about a Victorian-era entity he used to see, as well as what seems to be an extraterrestrial encounter. This leads to a conversation about abductions and even bigfoot. Following Karl’s interview, we speak to Emma who was visited by a shadow man for upwards of six years, and whose encounters would last for hours! As we talk, we get on the topic of the extra-canonical book called ‘Enoch’ and what that book entails.
