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.

In episode 644: Trauma To Triumph, Carly shares her story of growing up in a tumultuous family environment and experiencing paranormal and demonic influences. She discusses the importance of acknowledging the impact of parental figures on children's lives and the need to address children's imaginations and fears. Carly dives into her early paranormal experiences, including seeing energetic fields and levitating. 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. She also encourages others who have been hurt by the church to seek community and not walk the journey alone.

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.

643: Quest For The Ancient Sundial

On Episode 486: The Dark Holler we are joined by Ward Hiney who is the producer, writer, and director of the hit docu-series called, "Dark Holler." Ward reached out to me last year to see if I would be interested in reviewing the first episode of Dark Holler, and we struck up a friendship. He became the main videographer for Merkel Media films as he has an extensive background in videography, which includes filming for Glenn Beck at The Blaze.



On Episode 486, Ward shares all about Dark Holler, and how a short trip to West Virginia to make a 15-minute video with a new camera rig turned into a five-episode docu-series gave him the realization that there is more to the spiritual realm than he ever could have imagined. UFOs. Poltergeists. Demonic possession. Premonitions from interdimensional psychedelic entities. Thin places in the veil. A paranormal parade of the highest strangeness in the lowest places. Old gods and ancient demons, names absent from the mouths of man for centuries, but are being uttered once more in reverence over backwoods altars. Could it all be connected? What if the truth lies beyond our predictable world, but closer than we think? Over our heads, under our feet. Maybe we only see what fits the rules we've chosen. Maybe it’s been in front of us the whole time. Deeper than we dream, darker than we imagine.



These are all things that with which Ward has been faced and had to come to grips with when he stumbled across a family that has a forgotten and not often talked-about history.

RELOADED | 486: The Dark Holler

In episode 642: The White Beast, Nathan recounts his encounters with a creature dubbed the 'white beast' in the Ozarks, detailing two sightings of a large, faceless entity during his teens, similar to an experience his mother had. He differentiates this creature from Bigfoot, adding to a tapestry of paranormal activity in the area, including tales of interdimensional experiences, a lost girl in a cave, and the mystique of owls. These incidents are part of broader paranormal phenomena involving his family, spanning haunted houses, mysterious sounds, and other eerie encounters, contributing to a decision to move from their current home. Nathan also speaks of alarming occurrences in his household, like strange sleepwalking episodes, objects moving unaided, and a face on a baby monitor, alongside ancestral tales of witchcraft. He plans to move, hoping to escape the unrelenting paranormal activity, and invites others to share similar experiences or theories.
