544: Beasts and Portals of Hockomock Swamp

In Episode 544: Beasts and Portals of Hockomock Swamp we are joined in the studio by Phil Anderson! Phil was a guest on The Confessionals in the early days of Episode 50: Haunting Stories of Onset, Massachusetts. He is also heard in the show intro when he says, "Dude, he slithered over to me." Phil and I went to college together and he played a big role in building up my confidence when starting this show and now I return the favor as he is now diving into paranormal investigations with his YouTube channel. He goes by Exploring With Phil and he started out doing Randonautica videos and then migrated into doing more paranormal investigations in the Bridgewater Triangle area of New England. He heavily focuses on the Hockomock Swamp which its been known to have tons of paranormal and cryptid activity as it is also known as The Devil's Swamp. Phil has caught a lot of EVPs while investigating and has seen a black "wolf" in the light of day. In the same area he has heard the "metal door" sounds on two occasions and one of those times the experience lasted about 25 minutes. He comes on today to share about his journeys hunting down the unknown in the Hockomock Swap in the Bridgewater Triangle.

541: Portal Entities (Members)

In Episode 541: Portal Entities we are joined by Pastor Daniel. He shares how when he was a child he and his brother saw a horned entity in their bedroom but what his brother saw was a little more than a child would have to experience. We venture into a topic of conversation where we discuss where these beings are coming from and how are they getting here. Could it be portals? Could their very makeup be a type of portal to traverse between realms? Could the human mind be a portal into other realms?  We discuss all this in today’s member episode.

540: Portals To Hell & Biblical Super Soldiers

In Episode 540: Portals To Hell & Biblical Super Soldiers we are joined by Bishop Alan Didio! I first came across the Bishop on his Instagram reels where he was talking about portals to hell, monsters in the Bible, and end-times prophecies. Since then he has got even more popular and I couldn’t wait any longer to get him on the show. Though we didn’t hit on everything I planned on we went deep on portals to hell, biblical super soldiers, Enoch, what heaven will be like, supernatural powers, and miraculous healings. Next time we have him on we will hit on end times prophecies, Revelation, biblical monsters, A.I., and transhumanism because Bishop Didio has an opinion on all of it!

529: The Pink Portal Door (Members)

In Episode 529: The Pink Portal Door we are joined by returning guest Melissa. She first appeared in episode 175: It Dragged Me Down The Hall (also it was just rebroadcast as a Reloaded Monday) where she talked about being haunted by an entity her entire life. This entity got so violent that it literally drug her out of bed and down the hallway. She left us off in the first conversation talking about how she believes this thing has attached itself to her son Jack. Today she joins me again to give an update as there are new developments that she would like to share. It seems like the attachment has shifted completely towards Jack and Melissa believes it's because he is special. Jack talks about seeing a pink door that takes him to other places and after knowing what I know now, I believe Jack is describing something that is literally happening. As she is talking in this episode we both hear things moving and speaking into her phone, her dogs act very unhinged and her phone hung up on me multiple times.

512: Desert Portal Death Cult

In Episode 512: we are joined by James, who moved to Hollywood recently to help his career in the film industry after previously working out of Atlanta. One night, James and his friend went out to a bar where they met a guy who wanted to take them to another place to drink. Once they arrived at the new location, James' friend was so weirded out by the people he saw that he bailed and left James alone with his new acquaintance, who talked James into going to yet another party out in the desert, in a place called Joshua Tree, outside of Los Angeles. James wound up spending over 24 hours at that location, and he witnessed so many out-of-this-world things. There were vampires, cloaked figures around pentagrams, flying people, and portals opening up - and it all seemed to be focused around the guest of honor, James himself. As the danger rose, James found himself running for his life through the desert to escape these people who seemed to be grooming him as a sacrifice that night. This is one of the wildest stories we have ever had on The Confessionals, and James tells a riveting story, which could be chalked up to a tall tale by many - but James comes with the receipts that point to this event being very real.

510: Dogman Interdimensional Portals

In Episode 510: Dogman Interdimensional Portals, we are joined by Hunter. I believe Hunter holds a key to better understanding the depths of the strange topics we cover on this show. Hunter has dreams that he says are more real than the "waking world." During one of these dream experiences, he encountered a dogman that was targeting his family. When he stepped in-between them, the beast turned its attention to Hunter and started to rip him apart. When Hunter woke up, he was sitting up in his bed, but had scratches on his back and handprint bruises on his shoulder. One could say the dream was so vivid Hunter injured himself while sleeping, and Hunter would have been happy to believe the same thing. But he can no longer entertain that theory because one day, shortly after the dream, he was out in the woods with his son when the same dogman beast revealed itself to them and chased them through the forest.

468: The Oak Ridge Dogman Portals

In Episode 468: The Oak Ridge Dogman Portals we bring Adam into the studio! A few weeks ago, Adam emailed me after hearing me discuss CERN, Oak Ridge, portals in those locations, and entities coming through them. Adam experienced an event that lasted three days and traversed multiple locations. One late night when he was fishing near the Oak Ridge facility in Tennessee, he encountered UFOs acting in strange ways that hadn’t yet been heard about on this show. Those UFOs led to him encountering portals, and culminated in a high-speed chase down the highway with creatures trying to push Adam’s car off the road. How Adam survived their attack will leave you on the edge of your seat, as it did me sitting across the table from him!

459: Portals to the Otherside (Members)

In Episode 459: Portals to the Otherside, we are joined by Ellie and Brian, who bring a fascinating life story to the show. Brian begins with the most passive experience of the episode, when he encountered bigfoot as a child. We then go on to learn about Brian and Ellie's interaction in other realms with beings that peek through interdimensional places to this side of reality. From Brian's interdimensional teleportation meeting with Jesus Christ to their spirit board practices that allow them to communicate with unseen entities, these two have quite the story to share, and their experiences seem to point to intergalactic portals being very real, operable, and able to transcend time, space, and matter!

456: The Portal Necklace

In Episode 456: The Portal Necklace, Kelsey joins The Confessionals to share some exciting experiences in her life. Some of her experiences sounded a little familiar to me, and left me wondering if a dream I had when I was little was actually more than I originally believed. But, as Kelsey and I talk, we dive into a story about a necklace, which one night appeared to open a paranormal portal of sorts. The encounter had her running, ducking, and hiding from something that seemed to be coming after her.

358: The E.T. Portal House | Part 2 (Members)

In Episode 358: The E.T. Portal House | Part 2 we bring back Teagan to continue her story! Teagan contacted me months after our first recording to share new revelations she came upon that lead her to believe she could have been part of the "20 and back" space program. She thinks that if her suspicion is true, then her father may have been involved as well, but she doesn't know to what extent. She discusses many things involving her practice in Reiki, and how she might have been thrust into a parallel dimension from which she never returned.
