He begins by sharing how his father almost got sucked into a Satanic cult while he was in college, and how those experiences changed his life's trajectory to become a pastor. Though he grew up with his dad warning him of the dangers that lay in the darkness, Joel decided to take his own path. He dated a woman who practiced the dark arts, and the baggage she carried spilled into their relationship to the point that she became demonically possessed, as a demon took control of her body to speak to Joel. Joel became more deeply involved in music, which lead him to become a Free Mason in an attempt to gain power and fortune. He shares his experiences as a Free Mason in the "Overtime" segment of Episode 331, available for members on the member site, as well as his bizarre UFO encounter that caused me to wonder if he had seen several ships returning to a mother ship with abductees.

During one of her sleep paralysis episodes, Audrey did not realize what exactly was happening, and experienced herself walking into her parents’ room. They both saw her and communicated with her, but the way in which they interacted made her think they were in fact entities who were mimicking her parents.
