In Episode 399: Shift Your Paradigm, we are joined by Ark from Destiny Lab, a hip-hop group whose music focuses on creepy cryptids, government conspiracies, dystopian futures, and more - and all from a Biblical perspective. Ark and I have been in contact over the years, and have finally recorded a podcast episode together. Our conversation dives into monsters of the woods, transhumanism and the future of the human race, and even Ark’s background in Hollywood and what compelled him to eventually leave that industry.

In Episode 398: Bizarre Roadside Sightings, we talk with Matt about his mixed bag of experiences. Matt begins by sharing some of the things he experienced or heard about in the military academy. He also describes an event that took place at a church camp, when he started praying for a girl and immediately saw her life flash through his mind’s eye when he reached out to her. Finally, Matt reveals some very odd things he has seen on the road while driving, and they may leave you scratching your head!

In Episode 397: The Lost Gold of Dents Run, we are joined by Kem and Den Parada, a father-and-son treasure hunting duo based out of Pennsylvania. Back in the 1970s, Den was on the hunt for a lost Civil War treasure made up of 52 gold bars that went “missing” while being transported from Virginia to Philadelphia. In today’s currency, the gold bars were estimated to be worth close to $400,000,000, which would be the largest buried treasure recovered in U.S. history. One day when Den was at work, a psychic entered the store, found his way over to Den, and ended up revealing a location where he believed Den would find the gold. This encounter set off a nearly 50-year-long search for the Civil War treasure. After investing so much time and effort into their endeavor, the Paradas had the treasure pegged and proceeded to follow proper legal means of recovering it. They called in the F.B.I. and believed everything was aboveboard and ready to unearth the treasure of a lifetime – but they soon regretted it all when government agencies moved in under the cover of night and stole the gold out from under them. Kem and Den tell us everything about their incredible story, from how they found the gold, to government agencies trying to derail their efforts, to disclosing that they know where more gold is stashed – and this time they plan to get it.

In Episode 396: Casting Out Demons, we are joined by James, who was originally hesitant to share his experiences but finally made the decision to contact The Confessionals, and we are so glad he did. James has had several encounters with demonic forces that left no doubt in his mind that the spiritual realm is very real. He witnessed an exorcism in church when he was a child, encountered other demonic forces while in church, and even dealt with a demonically possessed woman on the rooftop of a hospital building. James has seen many things, and what he has gone through may hopefully help others understand that they aren’t alone in their experiences with the other realm.

In Episode 395: The Mysterious Randonautica, we are joined by Josh Lengfelder, the CEO of the Randonautica app! Ever since the Randonautica app was released, we’ve received emails from listeners asking for our thoughts and opinions about it. Some people love the app and enjoy the random adventures that it takes them on, while others feel there is something dark and sinister behind it. Some people have even accused the app makers of foul play. As the app’s founder, Josh discusses Randonautica with us with openness and sincerity, describing the process of the app’s creation by hooking it up to a quantum computer based in Australia, which spits out random locations for its users to investigate. But, because no one fully comprehends quantum physics, even the Randonautica team itself is still learning how to understand the creation they have built.

In Episode 394: Allegiance to the Darkness, we are joined by Jayne, who was originally a guest on Hammer Lane Legends Episode 23: Vampires, Groupies, and Poop, where she shared her stories about driving for Minneapolis Metro Transit. On The Confessionals, she reveals some of her much darker experiences. When she was a child, Jayne had some kind of “werewolf” spirit in her home, and she wasn’t the only one who witnessed it. Later in college, Jayne made the decision to sell her soul to the devil, and this dark event led to a horrible accident that resulted in Jayne cutting her main artery and all the tendons in her left wrist! She goes on to describe her unsettling experiences with incubus entities that held her up above their heads and passed her around, as well as her bigfoot sightings, and what happened to her mother after Jayne scheduled her interview with us.

In Episode 390: The Great Matrix Reset, we are joined again by Garrick King! Garrick started noticing and receiving repetitive numbers on a daily basis in 2009. It became so apparent that this phenomenon wasn’t normal or just a coincidence that he started digging into what these numbers could possibly mean. The more Garrick uncovered, the more it seemed that his exploration of the subject was being guided by someone or something other than himself. He takes us on a deep dive into these numbers, and shares how they led him to the belief that we live in a matrix, and it is gearing up to reset itself within our lifetime!

In Episode 389: Voices From the Attic, we are joined by Garrick King! Garrick will be our guest this week on three episodes, including the member’s episode, our public episode, and a member’s Overtime show.

On Episode 389, a member’s show, Garrick delves into his personal paranormal experiences throughout his life, ranging from voices coming from his attic to disembodied hands turning the lights on and off. He covers a bizarre UFO incident he experienced along with his grandmother and his father, in which one of the three of them saw something different than the other two. Garrick also describes how he was once shot at by some people, but when he reported it to the police he ended up interrogated and unraveled the dark occultic background of the town he was living in.

In Episode 388: Precognitive Dreams, we are joined by Aubrey. Aubrey initially contacted The Confessionals to share her shadow people experiences, a UFO sighting, and a little people encounter. But after she reached out, she had some life-changing experiences, and now finds herself almost constantly experiencing precognitive dreams, and these dreams often seem to be uncannily accurate.

In Episode 387: Hunter Encounters Dogman, we are joined by Emmett. He tells us about his multiple UFO encounters, the shadow figures that plague him, and his grandfather visiting him in his dreams and morphing into something terrifying. Emmett also shares a unique encounter in Vermont while bear hunting, when he saw a white dogman climb a tree, and then exit the area by leaping from tree to tree. Even though Emmett was hunting for a bear, after seeing the dogman he believed the ammo he had in his gun would not have taken down that beast.

In Episode 386: USS Eisenhower, we are joined by Delta, who discusses a history of hauntings on the USS Eisenhower, an U.S. Navy aircraft carrier that was commissioned in the late 1970s and is still in service today.

In Episode 385: Metaphysical Dogman we are joined by Josh Turner from Paranormal Round Table. For the better part of a year, the listeners of The Confessionals and Paranormal Round Table have been messaging Josh and me about doing an episode together. About a month ago, Josh and I finally connected and decided to do a couple of shows for our prospective audiences. Josh had a dogman encounter when he was a teenager that realigned his life course and what he would be pursuing. What he saw seemed very physical and for years, he thought this beast was simply that - a beast that was out there lurking in the shadows. But the more Josh researched and talked to people about their encounters, the more he was opened up to the idea that dogman was something more than just a monster. But it wasn't until he talked to people who were present during his encounter as a teenager that he learned what he saw and what they saw were very different things. It was the information Josh needed to push him over the edge into a new way of thinking about this topic. It wasn't just a physical dogman he was chasing, but rather a metaphysical dogman.

In Episode 384: Fear Me, we are joined by Sarah, who is a stay-at-home mother, and when the family is away during the day, strange things happen. The strange happenings are not limited just to Sarah, but extend to her whole family. Her husband has seen things, and her son seems to be a target of the house’s activity. At one point, Sarah even shouted at the unknown entity to come after her and leave her son alone. To get to the bottom of the unwanted occurrences, Sarah downloaded an app to her phone to try picking up some EVPs, and she certainly caught something – a voice telling her to “Fear me.”

In Episode 383: A Trucker’s Bigfoot Property, we are joined by Dylin who has had creatures on his property since he was a child. The land he lived on was passed down through his family for generations, and what lived in the woods was not spoken about until there was a reason to speak of them. Dylin recalls three separate occasions in his childhood where a bigfoot made itself known, but despite three encounters, Dylin still didn’t realize that there was something unique about this property. He even says that he thought he just had a gorilla living on the land in Louisiana! It wasn’t until Dylin was an adult that he locked eyes with something, and understood what was really happening there – and then all the memories from his childhood flashed before his eyes and started making sense.

In Episode 382: Curse of the Leprechaun, we are joined by Matthew, who shares a bizarre experience he had one night when he saw what can only be described as a "leprechaun" running and keeping pace with his car. To Matthew, this leprechaun had some of the characteristics of the traditional, commercialized version of leprechauns, but it also had evil-looking traits, like a dark grinning smile with jagged teeth. After this experience, Matthew’s life spiraled out of control, with unfortunate circumstances seemingly beginning that night, as he describes the effects that going through a paranormal experience can have on a person in the so-called real world.

In Episode 381: Knock Knock Knock, we are joined by Travis, who did not experience anything paranormal in his life until he was around 20 years old, when he had a terrifying hatman encounter. The hatman Travis witnessed was different than many of the descriptions we’ve heard before, because the hatman wasn't alone. When Travis saw him, he was accompanied by a little girl to whom he was feeding a dead crow. Later in the episode, as we recap Travis’ experiences, some strange activity on the line leaves us feeling like the hatman was listening and interacting with us live in the moment!

In Episode 380: Gateway Into a Paranormal Life (Members). Sean joins The Confessionals to share the many paranormal experiences he’s lived through since he was a small child.

He describes his early experiences as a child with a shadowy presence he called “The Night Mayor, a strange figure reminiscent of Spring-heeled Jack that “folded in” on itself and disappeared, and a dark hatted figure that he later realized his wife had also seen in her own childhood - just to name a few. Sean has experienced UFOs, remote viewing, astral dreams, occult indoctrinations, childhood traumas, demonic and spiritual attachments, deliverance, and much more, as he gives us a glimpse into the gateway of his paranormal life.
