In this episode, I’m joined by Ashes Antics, a longtime researcher, experiencer, and familiar voice within the cryptid and paranormal podcast community. Our conversation moves through firsthand encounters, spiritual warfare, and the thin places where the physical and unseen seem to collide.

Ashes shares chilling experiences that began in childhood in LeFlore County, Oklahoma, including a nighttime encounter where something physically jumped on his back, followed by the sight of a small creature fleeing into the darkness. Years later, another incident unfolded when a powerful roar echoed from the woods near his home — an experience that left no doubt that something was there.
We also discuss a period when Ashes lived in a house plagued by intense demonic activity, exploring how these events affected him and how he interprets them now. Throughout the conversation, we touch on themes of discernment, fear, faith, and the lasting impact of repeated encounters with the unknown.
The discussion expands into Enochian magic, belief systems, and how spiritual frameworks influence paranormal experiences. Ashes also speaks about his background as an English Romani gypsy, sharing family history that includes fortune telling, faith, and a generational shift after his grandmother later became a Christian. Her long life and stories form a quiet thread running through the episode, tying ancestry, belief, and experience together.
Ashes has appeared on several well-known shows in the community, including Boone County Cryptids, The Night’s Watch, and The Cryptid Podcast, and brings a perspective shaped by both personal experience and years of involvement in the field.
This episode isn’t about chasing fear or exaggeration — it’s about listening carefully to lived experiences and asking what they might tell us about the nature of reality, spirituality, and the unseen world that presses closer than we’re often comfortable admitting.
