In episode 739: Gateway To Narnia, Matthew joins to share his chilling experiences with a mysterious stretch of land that defied time and reality. What began as a childhood hideout—a secluded patch of woods marked by an old fallen tree—soon revealed itself to be something much more. Strange silences would descend without warning. Disembodied voices whispered from the trees. And then, the impossible happened—chopped-down trees and cleared brush inexplicably restored overnight, as if his presence had never disturbed the land at all. But the deeper he and his friends ventured, the stranger it became. A glowing man in white appeared only to vanish behind a single tree. A pale, ghostly boy with hollow eyes sent an unspoken warning that shook Matthew to his core. And as the years passed, the experiences only grew darker—mysterious footsteps on rooftops, music from nowhere, and a bizarre encounter with two anachronistic police officers in an untouched vintage patrol car. What was this place? A portal? A realm shift? A supernatural crossing point between worlds? And if so—who, or what, was watching him from the other side?

In episode 738: Warfare In The Second Heaven, Caleb steps forward to share his story—a life spent straddling two realities. From childhood encounters with shadow figures to direct confrontations with dark entities, he has been thrust into spiritual warfare that most never see. After nearly ending his own life, he made a desperate plea to God: If you're real, you have to show me. What followed was a transformation that led him into the depths of the supernatural. He describes being pulled into the second heaven, where time moves erratically, the ground breathes, and unseen forces wage war. He has faced the Hat Man, battled the stag-headed god Cernunnos, and stood against forces that feed on fear and chaos. But why him? And why are the occult obsessed with accessing this realm? If the second heaven is a battleground between light and darkness, how much of our world is shaped by what happens there?

In episode 737: Trapped In Secret Underground Labs, Jenn on X, from episode 658: Surviving Epstein Island, returns with revelations that defy belief. A survivor of elite trafficking networks, she recounts a harrowing childhood spent on Long Island’s hidden islands, subjected to experiments within underground and underwater facilities. However, the abuse was only the beginning. Jenn describes encounters with non-human entities, off-world travel so routine she made a game of holding Earth's air in her lungs, and a desperate attempt to stow away on a craft bound for the unknown. She speaks of deep-sea installations, diplomatic meetings held in submerged tunnels, and brutal training programs meant to forge children into tools of the elite. And when she failed an ominous test, everything changed. From shadowy figures who dictate world affairs to her near-sacrifice in an ancient Egyptian ritual, Jenn’s testimony forces us to ask, how deep does this conspiracy go? And if her memories are returning, how many others have yet to wake up?

In episode 736: The Power Of Arche, Daniel Duval, from episode 522: Uncovering CIA Satanic Ritual Abuse, returns to expose the spiritual battleground most never see. From his work deprogramming survivors of deep occult systems to uncovering supernatural realms hidden within Scripture, Daniel shares staggering revelations. He details the Arche, a personal spiritual domain granted by God, capable of warfare, intercession, and even collapsing demonic strongholds. But as he unlocked its potential, the kingdom of darkness fought back. Daniel dives into the shocking reality of angels wounded in battle, spiritual devices used against believers, and secret trades happening between dark entities and human leaders. What happens when technology is acquired not through science, but through soul sacrifices? This isn’t just theory, it’s an urgent call to arms. If everything we've been told about spiritual warfare is incomplete, what else has been hidden from us? And more importantly, how do we fight back?

In episode 522: Uncovering CIA Satanic Ritual Abuse we are joined by Daniel Duval. I stumbled across Daniel years ago when I was still driving semi trucks in Philadelphia. He operates Bride Ministries International and would talk about SRA victims and how they tie into CIA activities. He would have people on his program that were victims themselves and I truly learned a lot from his show. Sometimes it takes me too long to reach out to people to have them on our show and Daniel was one of them. He is years overdue for an appearance on The Confessionals. So, today you will hear us discussing CIA SRA victims, mothers of darkness and other things that you will hopefully walk away knowing this stuff really does happen to people.

In episode 735: Crawlers Haunt Carolina Woods, Chloe and her uncle Jamie recount a series of chilling encounters in the Appalachian wilderness. It starts with Chloe’s late-night sighting of a gaunt, pale humanoid, what many call a "crawler." But she isn’t alone. Jamie, living just a hundred feet away, has seen the same thing watching from the treeline. Their experiences don’t stop there. Jamie discovers muddy handprints on his truck, shadowy figures invading homes, and eerie activity that began after ancient hieroglyphs were disturbed on his property. From Bigfoot-like creatures to unseen forces breaking into houses, the strange events only escalate. As if that weren’t enough, Chloe shares her UFO encounters, silent black triangles gliding overhead and a glowing green craft that shook the treetops. Could these sightings be connected? And what happens when the supernatural refuses to leave?

In episode 734: Whistleblower Encountered Alien While in 'The Program' at Area 51, Jason Sands reveals his extraordinary experiences within a classified military program that he was chosen for—one that operates in the shadows of the U.S. government. A former Air Force intelligence specialist, Jason shares how he was recruited into a secretive initiative at Nellis Air Force Base, a place where reality bends and the unknown becomes undeniable. Jason recounts the chilling moment he encountered a being unlike anything he had ever seen—an entity with no ears, oversized eyes, and a request for a mysterious metallic material. He details the telepathic communication that defied explanation, the missing time he experienced, and the eerie realization that his convoy companions seemed almost entranced. From his early childhood UFO sighting to the revelations he uncovered in the program, Jason’s testimony raises staggering questions: What are these entities, really? Are they from another star system, another dimension, or something even more unfathomable? And why does the government go to such great lengths to keep it all hidden?

In episode 731: Unseen War Across Bloodlines, Derek joins for a mind-bending journey into his past, the supernatural forces that have stalked his family, and the bloodline curses that refuse to let go. Raised in a broken home, Derek wrestled with lucid dreams from childhood, nightmarish encounters that seemed more real than dreams should be. But the deeper he dug, the more disturbing the truth became—generational iniquity, Masonic ties, and an unseen presence that never stopped watching. He then shares the story of a woman he knows who has had multiple encounters with Dogman, one that attacked her and another that seemed to help. Scars remain, both physical and spiritual, but they raise even bigger questions: UFO sightings, strange dream realms, and the possibility of ancient agreements still at work today. The question isn’t whether something is watching—it’s what happens when you finally see it.

In Episode 460: The Tennessee Triangle, we are joined by author Donna Hartley! Donna recently published the book Historic Haunts of Sumner County, Tennessee in which she documents the strange happenings in an area that makes up a mysterious triangle of paranormal activity. This triangle stretches from the Bell Witch Cave to the Cragfont House, and down the Long Hollow Pike. Inside its borders, there is a tendency for bizarre occurrences to be the norm! She also tells us about the things that happened in her own house that seemed to be spawned by the writing of this book.

In episode 729: Portal To Hell In Ada Ohio, Justin from Cryptids of the Corn pulls back the curtain on his childhood home, an unholy place where something dark refused to let go. A house gifted to his family, yet cursed from the start. Footsteps echoed through empty rooms, doors slammed without warning, and a shadowy presence loomed over his bed at night. The deeper his family dug, the more they uncovered: ritual papers hidden in the walls, a serpent-handled knife buried behind plaster, and a force that grew violent as they tried to escape. Even after they left, the house continued its dark work, changing hands eleven times in ten years; each owner running from the unseen horrors within. The question isn’t why the house is haunted, but what it’s guarding. And whether it will ever let go.

In episode 728: Spider Crawling Bigfoot and The Cabin With Dark Secrets, TJ shares firsthand encounters with something beyond the realm of normal Bigfoot lore. Towering figures watching from the treeline, deep, unearthly whoops echoing through the night—but the real terror? A Sasquatch that doesn't walk but crawls, moving low to the ground like a massive, inhuman spider. Reddish fur, forearms thick as a man’s legs, and intelligence lurking behind its eyes. However, that’s just the beginning. Strange footprints under windows, guttural chatter from unseen mouths, and a primal force in the woods that seems to choose who gets to see it. Is this an undiscovered creature, a spiritual entity, or something far older than we can comprehend? When the forest comes alive, you’ll wish you weren’t there to see it.
