765: The Woods Held Its Secret (Members)

In episode 765: The Woods Held Its Secret, Tony is joined by Damon, who recounts a harrowing seven-year stretch of childhood spent on a remote property in Missouri, land he believes was a “window area,” a breach between dimensions. What started with thrown chairs and eerie basement figures escalated into full-blown encounters with entities beyond explanation: a bat-like humanoid with white eyes emerging after he lifted an egg-shaped rock, a giant black beast that stalked his mother from across a lake, and shadows moving across windows where no one stood. Within the house, the atmosphere turned toxic, drawing the family into constant conflict, sleepwalking episodes, and emotional breakdowns that vanished as soon as they moved away.

Tony and Damon dive deep into what might have been feeding off the fear and negative energy within the home. From dreams they still have about the place to theories involving pyramid-shaped UFOs, covert installations, and fallen angel tech, the conversation explores the idea that this wasn’t just a haunted property—it was a supernatural operation. One that didn’t just observe, but manipulated, fed, and possibly marked those who lived there.

763: They Escaped Ouija's Dark Grip (Members)

In episode 763: They Escaped Ouija's Dark Grip, Tony is joined by Travis, a man whose teenage curiosity led him into a nightmare that wouldn’t end. What began as a harmless game with friends escalated into terrifying encounters with a spirit named "Non"—a presence that etched its name into their notebooks, manipulated the physical world around them, and unleashed chaos with every session. Travis recounts nights filled with static-blasting speakers, chairs moving on their own, and birds and wind responding to rituals performed in eerie sync. But the scariest moment came when the board claimed it had possessed one of them—and demanded a cross before midnight to save his soul.

This episode tracks Travis’s descent into spiritual oppression, addiction, and darkness—and the powerful moment of self-deliverance when he encountered the real authority of Christ. From face-to-face encounters with a grinning hat man to a whirlwind of invisible entities leaving his body, Travis shares a raw, redemptive journey that proves the supernatural is real—and so is the victory found in Jesus.

761: Recruited By A Demon Prince (Members)

In episode 761: Recruited By A Demon Prince, Tony is joined by John, a former occultist whose story begins with childhood encounters that defy reason and ends in a radical deliverance only God could orchestrate. At age five, John was approached by a crowned, eight-foot-tall owl—later revealed to be Stolas, a high-ranking Prince of Hell. What followed was a descent into the darkest corners of spiritual warfare, including being taken to a throne room in hell, initiated through rituals, and taught ancient metaphysical practices by both demons and secret societies like the Rosicrucians.

But this isn't just a story about darkness—it's about redemption. From casting spells into drugs and opening portals at festivals, to hearing the literal voice of God and building frequency-based technology meant to restrain the forces of hell, John shares how Christ shattered the chains of his past and put him on assignment to battle evil in a legalistic spirit realm. With shocking confessions, insider knowledge on spiritual contracts, and a prophetic call to prepare for the deception of the end times, this episode is not for the faint of heart—but it's exactly the wake-up call the Church needs.

759: The Frequency Trap (Members)

In episode 759: The Frequency Trap, Tony is joined by Dr. Simeon Hein, a former university professor turned paranormal researcher whose lifelong skepticism toward mainstream science began with a childhood UFO encounter. From studying fractal geometry and chaos theory to exploring the suppressed edges of reality, Dr. Hein explains how remote viewing, radio frequencies, and quantum mechanics reveal a world our institutions refuse to acknowledge. He unpacks how phenomena like solar neutrinos, bleed-through realities, and fractal irregularities explain remote viewing accuracy and why Bigfoot might be both flesh and blood and something else entirely.

This conversation ventures deep into cloaked entities, frequency modulation, and parallel dimensions where cryptids, orbs, and shadow figures operate beyond our limited perception. Dr. Hein shares firsthand accounts of psychokinetic masters in Japan, electromagnetic anomalies tied to cryptid sightings, and why the scientific establishment deliberately avoids high-strangeness data. From government suppression to a changing cultural tide, this episode rips open the hidden architecture of reality, and calls for science to confront what it’s been running from for over a century.

757: Trapped by a Dream Demon (Members)

In episode 757: Trapped by a Dream Demon, Tony is joined by Kurtis, whose childhood was overshadowed by silent evil and secrets no one dared speak aloud. Raised by a stepfather who rejected him and surrounded by a family that vanished without explanation, Kurtis later discovered he was the target of a generational nightmare, one involving satanic rituals, Masonic rites, and brutal human hunting games in the woods. These weren't random acts of abuse, but orchestrated events tied to secret societies and soul-binding covenants, designed to fracture identity and hand down spiritual bondage.

Kurtis recounts being stalked by dark entities, manipulated through mirror portals, and haunted by a cloaked figure he calls the “Dark Man.” But even amid the trauma, the grip of evil begins to break. Through visions, spiritual warfare, and divine intervention, Kurtis fights to reclaim what was stolen and expose the system that tried to destroy him. This episode isn’t just a tale of survival, it’s a war story from the frontlines of generational deliverance.

755: Marked By The Wolfman (Members)

In episode 755: Marked By The Wolfman, Tony is joined by Parris, a man whose childhood was marked by a spiritual battle he never asked for, but couldn’t escape. It started around age six, when a towering gray-skinned demon appeared in his home, causing his mother to vanish mid-hallway and plunging him into supernatural terror. As the years went on, this entity returned, appearing in windows, lurking in trees, stalking him like a predator. But Parris wasn't just being haunted, he was being recruited.

As his faith deepened, so did the enemy’s attacks. From being named by the spirit of Apollyon in a dream that left physical marks, to being paralyzed and choked by a shadowy figure during a Florida vacation, Parris recounts a life of spiritual warfare that blurred the lines between dreams and reality. Yet amid the darkness, divine encounters lit the path. Towering angels clothed in white, heavenly singing that drowned out the demonic lies, and a revelation of authority in Christ changed the game. This is more than a story about nightmares; It’s a testimony of how heaven moves when hell tries to mark you—and how light always exposes the shadow.

753: Bound by Ancestral Blood (Members)

In episode 753: Bound by Ancestral Blood, Tony is joined by Rebeca, a woman raised in a Christian household who discovered her faith was rooted in a lie. What began with childhood hauntings, shadows moving, voices whispering, a demon sitting on her bed, spiraled into full-blown spiritual war when her teenage son dropped to all fours and began manifesting. As Rebeca and her husband scrambled for answers, the truth emerged in pieces: her grandmother had made a blood covenant in secret, and the demons weren’t just tormenting, they had been assigned.

The battle that followed brought blood to the surface. Rebeca vomited red during self-deliverance, bled from her nose for minutes during prayer, and heard ancient spirits mock her by name. Her family line, traced to the Basque region and shrouded in occult practices, was marked. And the only way out was through spiritual violence. This isn’t just a story of exorcism. It’s a generational war hiding in the skin of normal life. Because when your bloodline has been claimed by darkness, deliverance isn’t optional—it’s survival.
