246: The Wax Man
In Episode 246: The Wax Man, we speak with Jeff, who has been tormented by a dark entity in his childhood home for as long as he has lived there. The home is very old, with a macabre history: in the 1800s it was used as the town funeral home because it had the most space for mourners to gather. Jeff can recall seeing over 50 historical pictures of dead people from that time period laid out inside his home. For some of his experiences he was alone, but not all of them - his childhood friends have also been able to confirm some of the encounters that he remembers. Upon their confirmation that the events were real (and Jeff wasn’t just suffering from an overactive imagination), he decided to come on The Confessionals and share what he has seen in his family home not only as a child, but also as an adult, when he moved back there with his own family.BECOME A MEMBER AND GET ADDITIONAL SHOWS: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinGet Emergency Food Supplies: http://www.preparewiththeconfessionals.com

245: Out Of Body Journeys (Members Trailer)
On episode 245, “Out Of Body Journeys,” we speak with Ceb who has had some very interesting out of body experiences. He was very interested in having these experiences and would try to induce them to no avail. But once he gave up on the idea, that’s when they started happening automatically. He shares with us how he has traveled to what seems to be underwater cities, the inside of UFO’s and had an encounter with three sasquatch where he believes they spoke with him telekinetically!BECOME A MEMBER AND GET ADDITIONAL SHOWS: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinGet Emergency Food Supplies: http://www.preparewiththeconfessionals.com

244: The Mothman Haunting
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.BECOME A MEMBER AND GET ADDITIONAL SHOWS: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinGet Emergency Food Supplies: http://www.preparewiththeconfessionals.com

243: The Hooded Demon (Members Trailer)
In Episode 243: The Hooded Demon, we talk with Justine about her paranormal and extraterrestrial encounters. First Justine describes seeing a hooded demonic creature in her bedroom as a child, and another similar experience outside her home that left her with a much different feeling than her first encounter. She also shares with us about a time when, while driving in her car, which can only be described as an extraterrestrial-type language came over her radio. Justine was able to record about a minute of the strange speaking, and you will hear it played on this episode!BECOME A MEMBER AND GET ADDITIONAL SHOWS: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinGet Emergency Food Supplies: http://www.preparewiththeconfessionals.com

242: The Dystopian Society
“Utopian" describes a society that is conceived to be perfect. “Dystopian” is the exact opposite. It describes a society that is as dehumanizing and as unpleasant as possible. In Episode 242: The Dystopian Society, I let loose some of my concerns that have me wondering if we are on the path to dystopia right now. Earlier last week, I heard about some people in our society who have been pleading for the United Nations to intervene in current events and recommend police reformation. Though at first I scoffed at the notion, I then took a more concentrated look at the idea. Why would the U.N. get involved in U.S. events? Do they have any rights to insert themselves into our matters? What would the world look like if the U.N. did have the ability to invade a nation, and what would it look like for said nation? These are questions I pondered, and as I started digging I found information that made me sit back in shock when I realized we very well might be in the middle of a global transition into a one-world government, a new world order, a new normal, or as the World Economic Forum likes to call it, “The Great Reset.” On Episode 242, we explore this topic through monologues, skits, rants, and candid conversations with Chad Catron from North Country Off Grid YouTube channel who shares with us some tips on how to stay afloat while our society is on the path to dystopia. (And as a side bonus, Chad has bigfoot on his property that we talk about also!)BECOME A MEMBER AND GET ADDITIONAL SHOWS: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinGet Emergency Food Supplies: http://www.preparewiththeconfessionals.com

241: Discovering MK-Ultra (Members Trailer)
In Episode 241: Discovering MK-Ultra, we speak with Cat and have a conversation that takes a turn neither one of us was expecting. Cat contacted me about her experiences dealing with demonic attacks, and a time when she saw a monster she could only describe as a bigfoot-like creature in her home as a kid. That information alone was enough for me to bring her on the show for a talk, but our conversation evolved into something much deeper and much darker than predicted. On this episode, you will hear the organic flow of Cat and myself setting out to talk about traditional paranormal topics, but ending up discovering that MK-Ultra was a huge reason for the problems plaguing Cat’s life.BECOME A MEMBER AND GET ADDITIONAL SHOWS: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/join

240: The Graveyard Visitor
In Episode 240 we speak to Sam who lived in a house full of paranormal activity that progressed in degree the longer she lived there. When Sam was 17, she and her mother moved into an old and creepy house. Over time, weird things started happening. First, it was the creepy feeling of someone watching her. Then Sam's friend told Sam she was getting "felt up" at night whenever she slept over. Eventually, whatever was behind the paranormal activity started to mess around with anyone who came to that house, from playing with the lights to walking around with heavy footsteps in Sam's room to one night a dark shadow figure finally appearing at the foot of her bed!BECOME A MEMBER AND GET ADDITIONAL SHOWS: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/join

238: Searching Skinwalker Ranch
On Episode 238: Searching Skinwalker Ranch, we have a two-part show. First, we talk with MJ Banias about his experiences on the Skinwalker Ranch. As a journalist for VICE, MJ was able to gain exclusive access to the ranch, given a tour, and had the chance to look around the property. After MJ shares his experience, we segue into a different segment featuring audio from a live video Tony recorded on Instagram several days ago, addressing the protests and riots over the murder of George Floyd. After the video was recorded on Instagram, Tony received many messages asking for it to be shared on this week’s show. The audio includes Tony’s personal story about an incident in college when he and several friends were profiled by a police officer who pulled them over. We hope the message conveyed in this video will help unite people as we all learn to see through each other’s eyes.BECOME A MEMBER AND GET ADDITIONAL SHOWS: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/join

237: Seeking The Paranormal (Members Trailer)
In Episode 237: Seeking the Paranormal, we speak with Richard, who experienced things as a child that led him to have a fear of the dark, and of the paranormal in general. As an adult, Richard decided to pursue his fear to find out whether he could overcome it - and that’s when he encountered some interesting things. On his first time doing a paranormal investigation, he caught an EVP (which we play on the show) that responded immediately to a question that was asked; his daughter was hit on her shin by something; he even picked up what only can be described as a ghost dog on camera! Richard and I had a great time talking, and I hope you enjoy the conversation as well! BECOME A MEMBER AND GET ADDITIONAL SHOWS: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/join
