In episode 687: Face Off With Fallen Angels, Matt joins to share his journey through dark spiritual realms and personal transformation, that was marked by his exposure to hidden, malevolent forces. Raised in a household with both Christian and Jewish traditions, he became disillusioned and drifted into the occult. Matt's fascination with Kabbalah and black magic eventually led him to a shocking encounter with a terrifying creature—a horned, owl-like entity standing five feet tall. In a moment of desperation, Matt invoked the name of Jesus Christ, and the entity vanished, sparking a dramatic shift in his life. This initial confrontation set off a cascade of bizarre and frightening events: electronics malfunctioned as if controlled by unseen forces, strangers seemed to follow him with unnatural precision, and he witnessed shape-shifting beings he came to recognize as Shadim. These entities, sometimes taking on the form of Bigfoot-like creatures with glowing eyes, appeared to manipulate the people around him and even the very environment he moved through. Despite the isolation and escalating danger, Matt remained resolute in his faith, refusing to surrender as the entities sought to destroy him.
