In episode 702: Surviving A Doomsday Cult, Jon, from The 21CD Podcast, and his brother AJ revisit a haunting chapter of their past; a childhood on remote land under the influence of a mystifying figure who seemed determined to shape their family’s beliefs. Isolated from the outside world, they found themselves woven into strange rituals and kept under strict rules that made their lives feel increasingly unreal. Now, they reveal what it was like to grow up in a hidden cult and share stories that have never been told before. The experience changed them, but their search for answers didn’t end there. Years later, a journey to Iceland brought them face-to-face with something that was so shocking, they couldn't believe it. During a late-night hike through an ancient landscape, shadowy figures moved on the cliffs above them, blending folklore with bone-chilling reality. In this episode, they share their tales of life on the edge of two worlds, the real and the supernatural.

In Episode 345: The Snake Demon, guest Colin joins the show to tell us about his paranormal experiences. In 2007, he traveled to Thailand, where one night he awoke to find a "shadow person" sitting on top of him. From that point on, it seemed like the paranormal activity in his life ramped up significantly. He has had many odd experiences over the years, and has wondered if his connection to the paranormal is something that runs in his family, as his grandmother and mother have also witnessed strange things like ufos, shadow people, and memories of past lives. Colin previously listened to The Confessionals Episode 199: Miracles and Exorcisms with guest Hector, and has since joined up with him to pursue pushing back against the darkness in this world.

In episode 698: East Tennessee Bigfoot, Harley Owens, a Bigfoot field researcher out of east Tennessee, recounts a series of unsettling encounters that slowly shattered his skepticism. Strange growls in the night, fleeting glimpses of large figures in the distance, these were experiences he could explain away. However, everything changed on a fateful day when he came face to face with something he couldn’t ignore. As a massive, conical-headed figure watched him from a cliff, his phone mysteriously died, cutting off his chance to capture the moment with more than a picture. In that instant, the legend of Bigfoot became terrifyingly real, keeping him from even stepping foot in the woods for three years only recently entering the woods again. Since Harley began doing field research, he has had more encounters, some of which will put a chill down your spine.  Harley's YouTube: @HarleyTheBigfootResearcher Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts List: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/helene-relief Sasquatch and The Missing Man: merkelfilms.com Merkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.com The Confessionals Members App: Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrh Google Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZ Become a member for AD FREE listening and EXTRA shows: theconfessionalspodcast.com/join AFFILIATES Go Silent with SLNT Faraday Bags: https://alnk.to/clXuRY5 EMP Shield: empshield.com Coupon Code: "tony" for $50 off every item you purchase!
