Episode 297: Christmas Eve Music Special | Ask Tony Anything - December 24, 2020
As per tradition on The Confessionals Podcast, we’re bringing you our annual Christmas Eve music show! There will be plenty of holiday music ahead, but instead of reading scary stories this year, we decided to put together an "Ask Tony Anything" show, answering questions from TC fans that were submitted prior to recording. Although we were unable to answer every single question that was sent in, we think the ones we were able to cover generated some great conversation between Tony and his co-host for this episode, his brother Jack. Merry Christmas Eve! Enjoy the show!
Episode 298: The Dirty Santa - December 25, 2020
In Episode 298: The Dirty Santa, we bring on the much-anticipated Rachyll to share her jaw-dropping story of being stalked and hunted down by a man who she describes as looking like a dirty Santa! When she was a young girl, “dirty Santa” spotted Rachyll outside while he was driving, and the way he looked at her set off an alarm bell inside that she will never forget. Following that initial encounter, the creepy old man proceeded to haunt Rachyll by finding out where she lived, and finally one night executing his plan to break into her home and take her away. With quick thinking and a sheer will to survive, Rachyll escaped Santa’s “sleigh” and lived to tell her story on this Christmas Day.

He originally contacted the show to share his paranormal experiences, and disclosed that he is a 40-year-old man who still believes in Santa Claus because he claims to have seen him with his own eyes. Brett has kids of his own and knows where their presents come from at Christmas, but he also knows what- or rather, who - he witnessed as a child! After discussing his Santa encounter and his paranormal experiences, Brett also describes how he stumbled across multiple cattle mutilations, and the peculiar situation surrounding his findings.
