Wrongful persecution and prosecution in the name of heresy has been a plague on society throughout history. There is no human being who owns the right to dehumanize another person for their own grievances and agenda. Even alleged murderers deserve a trial and a full, unbiased examination of the facts before they are entirely condemned. Facts are often manipulated and people are wrongfully accused... even put to death. Throughout our history human beings, and often entire cultures, have been labeled as heretics, witches and even demons in an attempt to completely dehumanize them in social circles and in the public eye.Mindless mobs repeating the phrase “Burn The Witch!!” then countless innocents were destroyed because of the true evil behind the curtain.Often the ones pointing the finger and talking in your ear are guilty of overt narcissism, envy, rage, covetousness; ultimately bearing false witness, all for their own political or personal agenda.

Do you remember your first experience at the movies?
Can you recall how magical it was?
The power of motion pictures and all their beauty, wonder, emotion, thrills and imagination is what inspires us. It often shapes the direction of lives and the world at large. Even though it’s an art that’s just slightly over a century old, there’s so much more to be explored. My special guest this week is author and film historian, Justin Humphreys (George Pal: Man Of Tomorrow)
Join us (beginning tonight at 8:00 pm ET) as we discuss movie magic!

There’s a reality, that wherever you stand chances are highly probable that there are bodies beneath you. Unmarked graves are all around us. Many hauntings are suggested to be the result of desecrated ground.
Even today, any geophysical and scientific analysis of what “ghost” activity actually is, has been sparse in comparison to what it could have been if the phenomena was taken seriously, more often. Millions of eyewitness accounts throughout human history should be enough of a foundation to build upon.
One story in particular fits this criteria. It occurred just outside of Crosby Texas, between 1980 and 1987. It’s called the “Black Hope Curse” and it’s a chilling account of a dark shadow that consumed a housing development. Unbeknownst to its residents, it was built (in vulgar disregard) over an old slave cemetery.
Voices in the night, transparent images of rotten corpses in the hallways, sickness, untimely death and skeletons found buried in the garden.
What happened there?
Join me for the latest newsletter where I discuss the usual updates and the terrifying story of Black Hope.

EPISODE #78

I’ve spent years of my life researching and investigating the alleged happenings in Montauk. I created several documentaries & TV programs on the subject. I talked with dozens of people who claimed they were either victims or engineers of underground atrocities -Beatings, drugs, mind manipulation and murder…There’s no escaping this story until it’s proven to be true. There’s too much evidence to support that there was a mind control experiment in sub levels of the Camp Hero Air Force station.For those who don’t believe, you’re simply lacking in knowledge. Alike programs ( such as MK Ultra and The Holmesburg Prison experiments) were already confirmed to be true. Perhaps you don’t want to believe? I don’t want to believe it either. I wish it was all a bad dream but unfortunately it isn’t.Many people approach me with their “Montauk” stories and every now and then I find something authentic about them.Join me (beginning Wednesday night at 8:00 pm ET) for an interview with Chris Laterreur. Chris claims to have been a subject of both the psychic research experiments as well as a victim of their brutality.You don’t want to miss this one.New episodes of Off To The Witch premiere every Wednesday night at 8:00pm ET.Off To The Witch can be found on all major podcast platforms as well as my YouTube channel (at offtothewitch)@highlight@highlight#offtothewitch #christophergaretano #podcast #horror #montaukproject #mystery #unsolvedmysteries #montauk #montaukchronicles #conspiracy

I’ve personally investigated several missing cases in Mount Shasta and the details are baffling.

On June 11th 1963 Thich Quang Duc (a Buddhist monk) self immolated in protest of both the corruption of the South Vietnamese government and the violence they imposed.Within the beauty of our world is the inescapable nature of both beast and man. Both darkness and light.A paradox remains that often throughout history there are protests in society, art, cinema and music, against senseless violence - while others celebrate and parody our mysterious duality.Join me (beginning tonight) for the Off To The Witch newsletter as I explore our violent world.New episodes of Off To The Witch premiere every Wednesday night at 8:00pm ET.Off To The Witch can be found on all major podcast platforms as well as my YouTube channel (at offtothewitch)@followers#offtothewitch #christophergaretano #podcast #horror #violence #cinema #history #art #protest

EPISODE #76

I grew up with the fantasy horror stories of George Romero and Stephen King. As powerful as the subtext and metaphor of Dawn Of The Dead, Cell, The Stand, Day Of The Dead, and Maximum Overdrive was, I could not fathom it all being a possibility in our reality. The dead rising from the grave or hoards of mind controlled humans taking over the world was simply the work of fiction? It seems our nightmares have slowly crept into our reality as an entire consciousness is beginning to change. Who is changing it and why is it happening so quickly? Is artificial intelligence of alien origin? Is there a master plan as minds are in the grip of an unseen force? What is their master plan?Stay tuned for a discussion of our current times and a possible apocalypse that’s tantamount to our worst cinematic nightmares. My special guest this week is KBvisions who is a survivor of a bioengineered disease (Morgellons) and offers her perspective on a darkening path before us. I personally believe there’s a way to the light but we must act fast and take action now. It all starts within.Join us, beginning Wednesday night at 8:00pm ET for a discussion of our bizarre time in history.Off To The Witch can be found on all major podcast platforms as well as my YouTube channel (at offtothewitch)@followers#offtothewitch #christophergaretano #podcast #horror #technology #mind #control #future

On tonight's (OFF TO THE WITCH) newsletter I discuss my forthcoming novel, Montauk Boys - it will be released later this year. It’s the fictional tale of five juvenile delinquents who are the target of a nefarious, covert government mind control experiment.Set in 1987 (years after the alleged Montauk Project was said to have taken place) the book is partly based on over a decade of my own research and first hand experience, speaking with people who claim they were victims of several proven and yet unproven government atrocities.I’ll read a short chapter from Montauk Boys in my Off To The Witch newsletter on Wednesday night.I can’t wait to share this story with all of you. The characters are alive in my mind and I’m excited for this dark adventure to reach beyond your eyes and imagination.#christophergaretano #montaukboys #novel #2024 #montaukproject #montaukchronicles #fiction #horror

EPISODE #75

In 1980, Stanley Kubrick’s brilliant adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, The Shining, was released in theaters. It was and is forever a masterpiece of not only horror but cinema itself. It required decades of viewings to realize there is much more than meets the eye. It’s now known that Stanley Kubrick was intentionally hiding messages deep in the images and dialogue of the picture. What does it all mean? Was he making a statement? Was he confessing to staging the Apollo moon landings? Or are we simply playing into the labyrinth designed by his mischievous hands? My special guest Stephanie Kane (@longislandcraftcutie is obsessed with the subject. Join us for an open minded discussion about the enigma within Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining.Join me on Wednesday night (beginning at 8:00 pm ET)for the latest Off To The Witch episode.Catch up on previous episodes now, wherever you find your podcasts- including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and many more.Also subscribe to my YouTube channel (at Off To The Witch).@followers#offtothewitch #strange #theshining #stanleykubrick #podcast #paranormal
