In Episode 551: Warehouse Werewolf we bring Matt onto the show. Prepare to be on the edge of your seat as we delve into the spine-tingling encounter of Matt and his friends, who stumbled upon a pack of wild dogs in an abandoned warehouse complex. The dogs seemed to not even notice Matt and his friends as they ran by them as if they were trying to escape something. What they witnessed next was the pack of dogs being torn to pieces by a creature just out of sight. As they stood in shock and confusion, a giant dog appeared before them, standing up on its hind legs like a human. Without warning, the beast set its sights on the group of teenagers, sending them running for their lives. But that was just the beginning of their nightmare. As they tried to escape, the werewolf relentlessly pursued them through a dark and eerie warehouse maze. As they tried to make it out alive they were constantly faced with the growing reality that they might become the werewolf's next victims.

When he told me his findings and that he would be in town soon, I had to have him in the studio to record and share with you all what he turned up!

In Episode 548: Secret Space UFOs: Fastwalkers we are joined by filmmaker Darcy Weir to talk about his latest project exposing the UFO coverup. NASA and governments around the world have been covering up UFO phenomena for decades. They haven't been just hiding the sightings in our sky and landings on our land but they have been keeping quiet about the close encounters they have been having outside of our atmosphere in space. Darcy shines a light on these "fastwalkers" and how it is irrefutable that these organizations have been keeping quiet one of the greatest mysteries of human history.

In Episode 547: Killing Jinn and Jumping Realms we are joined by Ed. He served in Army Special Operations in Iraq and while there discovered some pretty gruesome torture houses that have very dark energy connected to them. After the discoveries and heading back to the barracks, he wasn't alone. He started become tortured himself by a jinn that was coming to him in his sleep. Through a series of events, he was able to go on the offensive and kill the unkillable. From there he shares his remote viewing experiences, spiritual encounters with Jesus, and a literal portal opening up in his living room with entities coming through. 

In Episode 546: Hunting Legends with Pat Spain we talk to Pat about a lot of his journeys and thoughts on these mysterious legends around the world. He is a wildlife biologist that has an adventurous spirit. This combination allows him to ask the question, "What if" too many legends that others might just disregard as folklore. Pat has laid in a pit with 200,000 snakes, went 1000 feet underwater to see what's down there, and has gone on the hunt for the infamous Loch Ness Monster. We talked about cloning the woolly mammoth and bringing it back to life, giant humans, giant snakes, and hobbits. Pat is a real-life Indiana Jones character that we all deep down inside want to be!

In Episode 545: Intergalactic Baby Mama we are joined by Sahdi from the Lions Gate podcast. Her son JC listens to The Confessionals and told her she had to reach out to tell her lived experiences of abductions. Sahdi from a young age has gone through abductions where she remembers seeing and communicating with other people and entities as well as going through medical procedures. She believes she is the mother to multiple hybrid children whom she has met on occasion as well as raised because she believes her son JC is one of those hybrid children. When he was just a few months old he was displaying physical and mental feats that were on pace for that of a two-year-old child. Sahdi always shares about her NDE (near-death experience) which might have played a role in her abductions in a way.  

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. 

In Episode 543: Stepping Into Alternate Realities we are joined by Ceasar who comes to share about his wild experiences serving in the United States military. Ceasar shares a story that has some shadows of Charlie's story from Episode 122: Secret Military Enochian Technology such as the oddities of circulating around him filling out his "dream sheet" of what he would like to do most while he serves. He ends up getting stationed in Antarctica and from there, things get outright weird for him. He talks about finding himself in President Bush's limo, having reptilian roommates, time travel, portal entries, underwater bases, working with greys, and much more. Today, Ceasar is still dealing with some issues post-military service as he believes he has a handler that follows him around, essentially gangstalking him to which the purpose is unknown. But before he walks us into all this, he lays the foundation of his childhood where he was sent to a nunnery, and how that experience might play a foundational role in his life direction.

In Episode 542: Weaponization Of UAPs | From Rendlesham Forest to Artificial Intelligence we are joined by John Burroughs to talk about what he saw during his legendary 3-day encounter with UAPs in Rendlesham Forest in 1980. The Rendlesham Forest incident is possibly just as important or more so than Roswell. John came on to talk about what his experience was and also what he thinks the purpose of it was. We talk about how Project Blue Beam could play into the future of UAP sightings and collective consciousness. What does the government know and how do they plan on using that knowledge to their benefit against the people? What are they doing behind closed doors with pseudoscientific methods to create wormholes to affect time and space? We talk about it all on today’s show. 

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.

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!

In Episode 539: The Kappa of Japan we are joined by Ev. He is a marine stationed in Japan right now and he had a run-in with a Japanese cryptid known as a "Kappa." One night when he couldn't sleep he took a walk down by the water and there he saw this creature under a bridge. He had a bizarre interaction with this being and it left him seeking answers and that is when the locals filled him in on the fact that he saw the Kappa. From there he sought more answers and he comes on today to share what he's learned. 

In Episode 536: Dogman's Trace of Death we are joined by returning guest, Sheriff Martin Groves. Martin first appeared on The Confessionals for Episode 514: Terror In The LBL, detailing his terrifying encounter with multiple dogmen and bigfoot on a hunting trip back in 1993. Since then Martin has been investigating the LBL and the dogman encounters within it. On Episode 538, he returns to share information about some of those investigations and other wild things he and his research partners have encountered in the LBL - like creatures coming out of portals.

In Episode 537: Bigfoot Burial Plot we have a different-paced show. I am joined in the studio by my brother and assistant Jack as we discuss his coming on board to work with me at Merkel Media. Then we give an in-depth walkthrough of the NEW members app which is available now on Apple and Google Play stores. After we talk shop, we get into some weird things that have been happening around the studio with "something" or "someone" trying to enter through our backdoor. Jack and I both experienced this separately on two separate occasions. We also had some other odd things happening since he arrived in Tennessee and we get into that as well. Lastly, we talk about my trip out west trying to hunt down the bigfoot and a location we have been given where there is a bigfoot buried and waiting to be exhumed. 

In Episode 536: Hunting Down Bigfoot we are giving you a swapcast with one of my best friends, Wes Germer, from Sasquatch Chronicles. Last week I had the pleasure of taking my Merkel Media film team out to Washington to try and track down the illusive bigfoot. Not only did we take a stab at it, but we also did it at Wes' infamous bigfoot encounter location. We spent several nights in the dark forests of the Pacific Northwest and Wes and I sit down to talk about it and the experiences me and my team had out there. 

In Episode 535: Hauntings At Sea and At Home we are joined by Jed. He wants to share some of his paranormal encounters while stationed on the USS Nimitz, a haunted apartment he and his wife lived in, and his chilling experiences working as a security guard.

They host "An Impromptu Truth" on YouTube and they are here to share some of their wildest experiences. From an NDE (near-death experience) to hauntings and bigfoot sightings, these two have had their share of weirdness. But we spend half the show dissecting their 2003 abduction incident when both James and Mike, along with their cousin, were abducted and forever changed. Their abduction is an ongoing situation that they are still dealing with to this day.

In Episode 533: Little People, D.U.M.B.'s & Bigfoot of the Smoky Mountains we are joined by author Mary Joyce. When I moved to Tennessee I started talking to locals about what I do and the common experiences popped up of people seeing UFOs and bigfoot but what caught me off guard was the topic of little people. Multiple people have brought up the topic as well as the person to talk to about it all, Mary Joyce. So Mary joins me to talk about her reporting on the topic but also other topics such as bigfoot, deep underground military bases, UFOs, and more.

In Episode 531: Mothers Of Darkness, we are joined by Jessie Czebotar who has one of the most unique stories we have ever heard on The Confessionals. I stumbled across Jessie's story about 4 years ago on Daniel Duvall's show. She was operating under the pseudonym of Jane. Jessie was born into an Illuminati family bloodline for the Mothers Of Darkness. When she was just a little girl, she was hand-picked by Satan himself to be the successor to her grandmother as the head of the order. But God had other plans for her life and she went from being trained up to lead the darkest organization on earth to lead the charge on illuminating the darkness she escaped from.
