In June, The Confessionals took its very first overnight trip into the paranormal! Partnered with the tour and travel company Educated Wanderer, we set off on our ‘Paranormal Occurrences’ tour to explore haunted locations and mysterious places in Pennsylvania and New York.

The following written confession was shared via Reddit by lawyergrrrl5: For about the past year, my boyfriend and I have noticed some really strange things happening at his house. We are both logical, analytical people who are not in touch with the paranormal or metaphysical world, but we have been unable to determine a reasonable explanation for what has occurred. It began on the evening of 8/13/2020. He and I were lying in bed, and a floor fan was running. We heard sounds coming from the kitchen….

The following written confession was shared via Reddit by CaliforniaSun19: My friend drove for a few years a while back. He told me he was driving a rig very late at night in Utah. Driving on a lesser used two lane highway. He said he remembers feeling very alert that night. So he noticed what appeared to be a figure manifesting up ahead on the dark road. Told me it wasn't on the road but just next to it. He then comes to a stop and grabs his heavy duty flashlight and points it at the figure….

The following writing confession was shared via Reddit: This wasn't so much me, as it was my 8yr old son.... I lived in a 5 bedroom home with my five children … There was a few things in this home, but nothing that was extremely alarming to me.

To put a little pertaining perspective on the home, the kitchen was open into the living room…

The following written confession was shared via Reddit: It first happened when I was 4 years old. I had a very strange dream where I saw a very tall (around 6'5) creature. Its skin was pinkish brown, it had bulging eyes, a red round nose and triangular teeth in its wide mouth.

It was a lot of fun. One day, we decided to go out, but for whatever reason, chose to go at night…

It’s National Toast Day, so fire up the haunted toaster! The last Thursday in February is a day to celebrate toast, for some reason. So we’re dusting off this gem of an interview from 1984, featuring a one-of-a-kind haunted toaster! The unassuming appliance allegedly terrorized its owner by speaking satanic messages and burning her bread to a crisp. What could possess a toaster to commit such evil deeds? Well, the Devil, apparently. And nothing thaws a frozen waffle quite like scorching hellfire.

The following written confession was shared via Reddit: This is a real experience that happened to me when I was around ten, camping with my family at a provincial park in Newfoundland, Canada in the mid-1980s.
