In Episode 353: Paranormal Laredo, Texas, we are joined by Chris James, author of the book “Paranormal Laredo.” Chris is a retired border patrol agent and paramedic who upon retirement found himself authoring many books on a variety of subjects. When he was approached by The Laredo Paranormal Research Society to write a book about paranormal happenings and history in Laredo, he was hooked! He started gathering reports of hauntings, cryptids, UFOs, and more, and he shares these stories with us on the show.

645: Salish Sasquatch

In Episode 319: The Monster Outside My Window, we are joined by Derrick and Tayler. Derrick begins the show by describing his experience with a creature that approached his window one night while he was sleeping. After researching what he witnessed outside, Derrick concluded that he had seen a Rake. When he told his stepbrother about the encounter, his stepbrother revealed he had seen the same creature, but called it “the monkey man." After Derrick’s story, we talk with Tayler, who reached out to The Confessionals as a new listener. Through tuning in to the program, she started connecting dots between topics she never usually paid much mind. But then she started seeing things in her home, and she wasn't the only one - her husband saw them too. She describes the activity they both experienced, and how they made it stop.

She also recounts her encounters with dark entities and her experimentation with the Ouija board and witchcraft. She explains how her journey led to drug use, more trauma, and a suicide attempt. Carly shares her personal journey of faith, highlighting the challenges and struggles she faced within a toxic church environment. Despite the pain and manipulation she experienced, Carly's desire for her destiny in Christ kept her connected to the church. She eventually met her husband in that same church, but the revelation of her past with the pastor created a devastating impact on their marriage. Carly emphasizes the importance of allowing God to heal and rebuild, acknowledging that the process is messy and requires honesty and vulnerability.

In episode 643: Quest For The Ancient Sundial, Brian Jeffrey, from Black Mass Paranormal, joins us in studio to dive into the mysterious and often eerie realm of the paranormal across East Tennessee. He explores unsettling missing person cases like that of Summer Wells and discusses bizarre phenomena such as potential portals and supernatural activities. Brian takes us through personal encounters with inexplicable sounds and sightings in mystifying locales like Black Mountain and Frozen Head. He shares chilling accounts of a shadowy figure, a witch-like presence, and ghostly translucent entities, reflecting on the challenges of documenting such elusive phenomena with antiquated equipment. Brian also ventures into speculative territory with mentions of possible government cover-ups and portals to other dimensions. Tony then shares his future plans to return to a site he'd visited 4 years prior, with new information on what could possibly be reptilian entities occupying the area.
