762: From Warlock’s Curse to Holy Fire

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference! If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: Description: In episode 762: Holy Spirit: God Within You, Tony is joined by author and evangelist David Diga Hernandez, whose life has been shaped by the Holy Spirit. From shadow figures and whispered voices to a warlock in his family line, David shares how generational darkness targeted him from childhood. But it was a hotel room prayer at age 11 that shattered the grip of fear and introduced him to the overwhelming presence of Jesus. What followed was a journey through spiritual deserts, battles with striving, and the discovery that the Holy Spirit isn’t earned—He abides. Tony and David dive into the layers of deliverance, the deception of performance-based faith, and why Gen Z is being pulled between witchcraft and revival. This conversation cuts to the heart of spiritual warfare and reveals how true freedom comes not from formulas, but from surrender.

Members Preview | 761: Recruited By A Demon Prince

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference! If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: Description: In episode 761: Recruited By A Demon Prince, Tony is joined by John, a former occultist whose story begins with childhood encounters that defy reason and ends in a radical deliverance only God could orchestrate. At age five, John was approached by a crowned, eight-foot-tall owl—later revealed to be Stolas, a high-ranking Prince of Hell. What followed was a descent into the darkest corners of spiritual warfare, including being taken to a throne room in hell, initiated through rituals, and taught ancient metaphysical practices by both demons and secret societies like the Rosicrucians. But this isn't just a story about darkness—it's about redemption. From casting spells into drugs and opening portals at festivals, to hearing the literal voice of God and building frequency-based technology meant to restrain the forces of hell, John shares how Christ shattered the chains of his past and put him on assignment to battle evil in a legalistic spirit realm. With shocking confessions, insider knowledge on spiritual contracts, and a prophetic call to prepare for the deception of the end times, this episode is not for the faint of heart—but it's exactly the wake-up call the Church needs.

760: They Lied to You About the Rapture

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference! If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: Description: In episode 760: They Lied to You About the Rapture, Tony is joined in studio by Pastor Alan DiDio, whose radical encounter with Jesus launched him into a lifelong mission to understand and teach the truths of Bible prophecy. What began with a powerful dream just days after his salvation, standing in a field as a storm brews and a clock strikes 11:59, became the catalyst for a 25-year journey into the most controversial and misunderstood event in eschatology: the Rapture. Together, Tony and Pastor Alan confront the confusion, mockery, and division surrounding the Rapture, both inside and outside the Church. They tackle biblical patterns of supernatural disappearances, the reality of glorified bodies, the parallels between Enoch and modern believers, and why the disappearance of millions will be more than a sci-fi headline, it will be a tipping point for human history. They also address the dangers of spiritual apathy, red-pilled pride, and the false security many Christians place in end-times theories rather than the Word itself.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference! If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: Description: In episode 759: The Frequency Trap, Tony is joined by Dr. Simeon Hein, a former university professor turned paranormal researcher whose lifelong skepticism toward mainstream science began with a childhood UFO encounter. From studying fractal geometry and chaos theory to exploring the suppressed edges of reality, Dr. Hein explains how remote viewing, radio frequencies, and quantum mechanics reveal a world our institutions refuse to acknowledge. He unpacks how phenomena like solar neutrinos, bleed-through realities, and fractal irregularities explain remote viewing accuracy and why Bigfoot might be both flesh and blood and something else entirely. This conversation ventures deep into cloaked entities, frequency modulation, and parallel dimensions where cryptids, orbs, and shadow figures operate beyond our limited perception. Dr. Hein shares firsthand accounts of psychokinetic masters in Japan, electromagnetic anomalies tied to cryptid sightings, and why the scientific establishment deliberately avoids high-strangeness data. From government suppression to a changing cultural tide, this episode rips open the hidden architecture of reality, and calls for science to confront what it’s been running from for over a century.

758: Secrets Inside The Temple

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference! If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: Description: In episode 758: Secrets Inside The Temple, Tony is joined by Heidi Luv from the Unfiltered Podcast, a woman born into the royal bloodlines of Mormonism who spent decades devoted to the faith—until a cascade of truth shattered everything she thought she knew. Raised in Utah’s Mormon stronghold and married in the temple at just 17, Heidi ascended through the ranks of spiritual rituals, secret oaths, and Masonic rites, believing it was all in service to God. But what began as devotion became a deep unease, and when she set out to prove her born-again mother wrong, she stumbled into a world of secrets the Church hoped no one would ever expose. In this episode, Heidi unpacks the disturbing symbols, oaths, and occult echoes within the temple ceremony itself, rituals she once participated in, now revealed through a lens of spiritual warfare and painful hindsight. From secret handshakes and fig-leaf aprons given by Lucifer, to kneeling between mirrors she believes served as portals, Heidi peels back the spiritual deception she once called sacred. But her story isn’t just about uncovering darkness, it’s about deliverance. After losing nearly everything, her health, her family, even her daughter, Heidi found God not in a building, but in the quiet places of suffering and surrender. This is more than an exposé of religious control; it’s a testimony of awakening, courage, and redemption.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference! If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: Description: In episode 757: Trapped by a Dream Demon, Tony is joined by Kurtis, whose childhood was overshadowed by silent evil and secrets no one dared speak aloud. Raised by a stepfather who rejected him and surrounded by a family that vanished without explanation, Kurtis later discovered he was the target of a generational nightmare, one involving satanic rituals, Masonic rites, and brutal human hunting games in the woods. These weren't random acts of abuse, but orchestrated events tied to secret societies and soul-binding covenants, designed to fracture identity and hand down spiritual bondage. Kurtis recounts being stalked by dark entities, manipulated through mirror portals, and haunted by a cloaked figure he calls the “Dark Man.” But even amid the trauma, the grip of evil begins to break. Through visions, spiritual warfare, and divine intervention, Kurtis fights to reclaim what was stolen and expose the system that tried to destroy him. This episode isn’t just a tale of survival, it’s a war story from the frontlines of generational deliverance.

756: Second Heaven Soul Hunters

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference! If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: Description: In episode 756: Second Heaven Soul Hunters, Tony is joined once again by Dan Duval for a mind-bending conversation that rips the veil off the unseen realm, and what’s bleeding through it. This episode dives headfirst into the mystery of the second heaven, the spiritual dimension that lies between Earth and Heaven, and the ancient war that still echoes into our present. Dan unpacks the biblical concept of Arche, the realm of beginnings, and how our spirits existed in God before conception. But with that revelation comes a stunning possibility: many are born already in bondage, tied to soul trades, pre-Adamic trauma, and cosmic conspiracies that predate Eden itself. Together, Tony and Dan unravel real accounts of soul hunting, time travel-induced soul fragmentation, and the second heaven’s connection to extraterrestrial phenomena. From hidden labs and off-planet abductions to spiritual generals fighting pre-Adamic wars against counterfeit creation templates like the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, nothing is off the table. They explore how rituals, timelines, and interdimensional warfare all collide in the effort to break cycles of trauma through the blood of Jesus. This isn’t fringe—it’s frontline.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference! If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: Description: In episode 755: Marked By The Wolfman, Tony is joined by Parris, a man whose childhood was marked by a spiritual battle he never asked for, but couldn’t escape. It started around age six, when a towering gray-skinned demon appeared in his home, causing his mother to vanish mid-hallway and plunging him into supernatural terror. As the years went on, this entity returned, appearing in windows, lurking in trees, stalking him like a predator. But Parris wasn't just being haunted, he was being recruited. As his faith deepened, so did the enemy’s attacks. From being named by the spirit of Apollyon in a dream that left physical marks, to being paralyzed and choked by a shadowy figure during a Florida vacation, Parris recounts a life of spiritual warfare that blurred the lines between dreams and reality. Yet amid the darkness, divine encounters lit the path. Towering angels clothed in white, heavenly singing that drowned out the demonic lies, and a revelation of authority in Christ changed the game. This is more than a story about nightmares; It’s a testimony of how heaven moves when hell tries to mark you—and how light always exposes the shadow.

754: The NDE Conspiracy

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference! If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: Description: In episode 754: The NDE Conspiracy, Tony is joined by Shaun Tabatt, author of The NDE Conspiracy, for a deep-dive into the strange, murky realm of near-death experiences—and the sinister deceptions hiding behind the light. What begins as a discussion about NDEs quickly spirals into a multi-layered exposé on spiritual hijacking, second-heaven warfare, and false encounters with “beings of light” that mask a demonic agenda. From children recalling past lives to mediums unknowingly channeling familiar spirits, Shaun reveals how the enemy counterfeits heavenly encounters in order to detour souls into New Age delusion. But this isn’t just theory—it’s grounded in documented cases, verified out-of-body perceptions, and firsthand accounts of people who died, met their “spirit guide,” and came back with dark, twisted theology. Tony and Shaun connect dots between NDEs, alien abductions, soul-trapping tech, and biblical portals in the second heaven—suggesting that the real battle for our souls may not start after death, but in the space between. In a realm full of lies that look like light, this episode is a reminder that discernment matters—and that truth still breaks through the counterfeit.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference! If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: Description: In episode 753: Bound by Ancestral Blood, Tony is joined by Rebeca, a woman raised in a Christian household who discovered her faith was rooted in a lie. What began with childhood hauntings, shadows moving, voices whispering, a demon sitting on her bed, spiraled into full-blown spiritual war when her teenage son dropped to all fours and began manifesting. As Rebeca and her husband scrambled for answers, the truth emerged in pieces: her grandmother had made a blood covenant in secret, and the demons weren’t just tormenting, they had been assigned. The battle that followed brought blood to the surface. Rebeca vomited red during self-deliverance, bled from her nose for minutes during prayer, and heard ancient spirits mock her by name. Her family line, traced to the Basque region and shrouded in occult practices, was marked. And the only way out was through spiritual violence. This isn’t just a story of exorcism. It’s a generational war hiding in the skin of normal life. Because when your bloodline has been claimed by darkness, deliverance isn’t optional—it’s survival.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference! If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: Description: In episode 752: Born For War In The Unseen Realm, Tony is joined by Mike, who shares a lifetime of chilling encounters that trace back to one fateful Halloween night. As a young boy, Mike had a shocking run-in with a man in a red devil costume; a sinister encounter that seemed harmless at first, until strange changes began taking over his life. From being drawn into dark dreams and blacking out while creating violent drawings, to speaking with mirror entities and losing toys to unseen forces, Mike’s story unfolds into a tapestry of spiritual oppression and eerie visitations. But the darkness didn’t stop there. Mike details haunting experiences with shadow figures, entities whispering by his bedside, cursed objects, and a bizarre connection to a haunted book that seemed to literally pull him inside its pages. As Tony and Mike dig deeper, the pieces start to fit together; encounters with Lilith, strange ties to Freemasonry, and a chilling family connection to Disney World’s darker secrets all paint a picture of spiritual warfare that began in childhood and escalated into adulthood. It's an episode packed with hauntings, hidden forces, and spiritual battles, and it all started with a simple grab of the wrist.

Members Preview | 751: Soul Under Siege

In episode 751: Soul Under Siege, Tony is joined by Will, an Air Force veteran whose journey from homeschooled innocence to spiritual warfare in Guam is nothing short of chilling. What begins as a standard deployment turns into a battle with unseen forces—entities that invade dreams, drain energy, and whisper lies in the dead of night. From haunted dorm rooms to poltergeist-infested barracks, Will recounts moments where anxiety turned to terror, and normality gave way to the paranormal. But it gets darker. Will details a horrifying night where something—possibly demonic, possibly technological—attempted to rip his very soul from his body, as if yanking him through a swirling black vortex. Add in a suspiciously haunted mountain hike, a shamanic “good luck” warning, military near-misses with North Korea, and a full-blown spiritual confrontation with a thousand whispering voices—and you’ve got an episode that rips back the veil and stares straight into the abyss. When entities try to override your body and invade your mind, there’s only one name that drives them out. Because when the spiritual battlefield is your own body—Jesus is your only defense Become a member for ad-free listening, extra shows, and exclusive access to our social media app: theconfessionalspodcast.com/join The Confessionals Social Network App: Apple Store: Google Play: My New YouTube Channel Merkel IRL: @merkelIRL My First Sermon: Unseen Battles Sasquatch and The Missing Man: merkelfilms.com Merkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.com SPONSORS SIMPLISAFE TODAY: simplisafe.com/confessionals CONNECT WITH US Website: www.theconfessionalspodcast.com Email: [email protected] MAILING ADDRESS: Merkel Media 257 N.

750: Killing Nephilim For Jesus

In episode 750: Killing Nephilim For Jesus, Tony is joined in-studio by Derek and Jack for a freewheeling conversation that crashes through end-times prophecy, remote viewing, ancient relics, and spiritual warfare. From the death of the pope and the mysterious prophecy of St. Malachy to CIA documents on the Ark of the Covenant, they connect the dots between esoteric threads and biblical foundations—asking what it all means for the times we're living in. But it doesn’t stop there. They dive into a full-on battle plan for fighting Nephilim in the apocalypse—complete with Marvel-style powers, biblical superhuman feats, and an AI-generated naming ceremony for their end-times alter-egos. It’s unfiltered, unscripted, and undeniably supernatural. Because when the veil starts to thin, you’d better be armed—with truth, with faith, and maybe even a Nephilim Blaster 2000.

RELOADED | 426: Police Officer's Paranormal Life

In Episode 426: Police Officer's Paranormal Life, we are joined by Dave. Dave doesn't listen to The Confessionals and didn't know he was scheduled for an interview until a few weeks beforehand when his wife Brandy sprung it on him! Even though he wasn't prepared to tell his experiences, Dave didn't disappoint. He begins his story by revealing that his ancestor, Bridget Bishop, was the first person executed for witchcraft during the Salem witch trials in 1692. Considering that this family history could be a reason for the paranormal experiences in his life, Dave goes on to tell us about Hatman, his experiences on duty as a police officer, and even his strange relationship with electronics, in which he seems to drain them of all their energy.

Members Preview | 749: The Night The Sky Split Open

In episode 749: The Night The Sky Split Open, Tony is joined by Shlomo, whose life has been a relentless collision between light and darkness. It began when, at just five years old, he prayed, and the sky split open. A glowing vertical slit, like a scroll unraveling above him, lit up the town until sunrise. That moment marked the start of a life encountered by the supernatural. Raised Catholic but surrounded by generational witchcraft, Shlomo fell deep into occultism: Ouija boards, summoning rituals, and shadow entities followed him from the Philippines to Australia. He faced poltergeists, witch doctors, and demonic figures that targeted his family for years. By the time he hit American soil, the darkness had a grip, and prison seemed like the final stop. But God wasn’t done. A glowing woman appeared on a stormy night. A voice asked him what he’d done with his life. A radiant being hovered in the sky. These divine encounters weren’t dreams, they were rescue missions. And each one pulled him closer to a radical transformation. Because sometimes, when the veil is ripped wide open… it’s not just to show you what’s out there. It’s to pull you out of it.

748: Alien Pregnancy Rituals

In episode 748: Alien Pregnancy Rituals, Tony is joined by researcher Nathaniel Gillis, who peels back the layers on a phenomenon darker and more complex than traditional demonology. Rooted in his own childhood encounter with a ghostly little girl, Nathaniel’s journey has taken him deep into the realms of incubi case studies, ritual magick, and the disturbing mechanics of hybridization. He presents a chilling theory: certain entities are not just spiritual forces—they are part of a hidden, embodied species that self-replicates by inseminating human women, implanting their consciousness into fetuses, and harvesting them through a ritualistic cycle that mirrors ancient necromantic practices. As the conversation unfolds, Nathaniel connects these practices to historical demonology, the UFO phenomenon, and even modern government experiments involving meta-materials and ritual conjuring. With accounts of dream-state inseminations, sigils surfacing on skin, and beings who wear the faces of lost loved ones, this episode explores how the lines between magic, technology, and theology are far more blurred than we’ve been led to believe. Because according to Nathaniel, these aren’t just hauntings or possessions—they’re calculated, ritualistic acts of spiritual parasitism. And they’re not coming. They’re already here.

In episode 747: Hatman the Soul Hunter, Chad Phillippi shares his chilling journey from childhood occultism to a full-blown spiritual battle in the Alaskan wilderness. Groomed into astral projection and candle magick by a potentially nefarious librarian, Chad opened doors he couldn’t close—doors that followed him into adulthood. After fleeing toxic mold in Washington, his family moved to what they believed would be a healing refuge in Alaska. Instead, they found a house stalked by shadow figures, a red-eyed Hat Man, and a little ghost girl who called out in the night. As the spiritual attacks escalated—golem-like creatures, spectral stagecoaches, and visions of the dead—the family was pushed to the brink. With the help of a spiritual warfare mentor, they buried Bibles, anointed the land, and drove out the presence. But when a buried camper with hair on its window was uncovered and reburied, the darkness returned with force. Forced to flee through a coming storm, they left everything behind. Because this wasn’t just a haunting, it was a trap. And someone, or something, didn’t want them to make it out.

746: The Rise of Nephilim Magick

In episode 746: The Rise of Nephilim Magick; Tony is joined by Pastor Troy Brewer, a globally traveled pastor, author, and rescuer of human trafficking victims, whose life straddles the line between mission work and spiritual warfare. What began with rescuing trafficked children from cartel-controlled zones quickly unraveled into something darker—something supernatural. Pastor Troy’s bold efforts drew retaliation from the unseen: dreams of warfare, demonic visitations through Zoom, and portals tearing open in places they shouldn’t exist. The warfare was relentless. Hybrid entities stepping into our world. A demon calling itself "Impenetrable" stalking his family. Even a Colombian prison filled with murderers wasn’t the end, but every confrontation revealed one thing: darkness trembles at the name of Jesus. From angelic encounters to divine protection in the belly of chaos, Pastor Troy’s story forces a question: what if the battle between good and evil is more literal than we think?

Members Preview | 745: Dogman, Crawlers, and the Not-Deer

In episode 745: Dogman, Crawlers, and the Not-Deer; Chris from West Virginia shares a series of chilling encounters that began with a timber-colored creature walking on two legs outside his home—and escalated into a five-hour standoff of growls, scraping claws, and paralyzing fear. After that night, the activity didn’t stop. While camping in the woods, Chris witnessed a massive, shadowy figure crawling like a spider toward his tent and heard unplaceable howls and gunshots echo through the forest. Then came something worse: a deer that wasn’t a deer, its gaze too knowing, its movements too wrong—and when it turned to walk away, it simply vanished. As the months wore on, the line between physical and supernatural blurred. There were orbs outside his window, rocks thrown from nowhere, a crab-walking thing glimpsed on a distant ridge, and a hellhound-like face caught in a photo. Some creatures moved like animals. Others seemed to watch him. But all of it felt targeted. Whether it was Bigfoot, Dogman, something demonic, or something else entirely, Chris was sure of one thing, they weren’t supposed to exist—but they do.

744: Inside the UAP Intel Loop

In episode 744: Inside the UAP Intel Loop, former military intelligence analyst Michaela Fachar shares the story of how her deep dive into consciousness, social constructs, and national security turned into a harrowing descent into something far stranger. What began with logical research and classified videos of UAPs in the Middle East spiraled into weeks of bizarre visions, flickering lights, and impossible glitches. Then came the translucent object that moved like it was cloaked, the metal spheres floating on surveillance footage—and the moment a government vehicle seemed to lead her directly into a hospital… where no one would acknowledge why she was there. She wasn’t seeking attention. She was looking for help. But as her questions grew louder—about UAPs, military reporting choke points, and black programs—the silence from above became more deafening. Then came the whispers of non-human intelligence. The dreams. The spiritual oppression. The message in the dark. What was real? What was planned? And more chillingly… what was watching her the whole time?

In episode 743: Supernatural Surveillance and The Grey Deception, Victor reveals a harrowing life shaped by generational witchcraft, spiritual infiltration, and the war for his soul. Born into a lineage of shamans, his earliest memories were filled with incense, drumming, and spirits that moved through his childhood home. Objects levitated. Radios screamed without power. By seven, he was leading seances. By thirteen, he was practicing astral projection. And then came the red-skinned gnomes, shadow figures, and a wolf that vanished into water. After a near-fatal stabbing at sixteen, Victor didn’t cry out to spirits—he called on Jesus. But after giving his life to Christ, the attacks only escalated. Alien greys appeared in his bedroom, watching as a hooded figure loomed behind them. His bed levitated. A demonic voice echoed in his dreams. And through it all, one thing became chillingly clear: They were never aliens. They were never here to help. They were always something else.

742: Dogman Of The Corn

In episode 742: Dogman Of The Corn, Shane and "The Judge" from From The Shadows Podcast, share a bone-chilling account of an entity that stalked one of their daughters—night after night. It called itself "Wind." It appeared as a little boy with blonde hair and blue bibs, and it whispered through the baby monitor in a dead language no one could recognize. It wanted the child to go outside. In the snow. In the middle of the night. This wasn’t just a haunted house. Wind followed them across towns. Past locked doors. Into new bedrooms. When "The Judge" finally saw it with his own eyes, his daughter began speaking in something guttural, ancient, possibly Sumerian—and then Wind was gone. But not forever. Years earlier, on a quiet country road flanked by cornfields, "The Judge" came face to face with a creature that shouldn’t exist. It ran through the rows—pacing him, mirroring every move—and when it stepped out, it stood tall like a man, with the head of a wolf and the build of a linebacker. No eye shine. No sound. Just intent. He escaped by seconds, diving into a friend’s pool, heart pounding and reality shattered. Decades later, he would learn the land was built on ancient burial mounds—and that others had seen it too. Two encounters. Two entities. One terrifying question: If these things are real… what else is?

In episode 741: The Hidden War Beyond Sight, Brandon joins to share his extraordinary lifelong journey—one marked by eerie encounters, unseen forces, and a battle between darkness and light. From childhood encounters with shadowy figures that moved with eerie intelligence to sleep paralysis attacks that felt more like interdimensional assaults, his experiences defy simple explanation. The terror escalated with scratches, whispers, and the inescapable sense that something was always watching. Then came the stadium lights, impossibly massive, stretching across a nightmarish horizon. Were they beacons? However, Brandon’s journey didn’t end in darkness. He stumbled into astral projection, battled a shapeshifting entity masquerading as his daughter, and found himself face to face with a towering, radiant figure—Jesus Christ Himself. What message did He bring? From demonic torment to divine intervention, Brandon’s story is one of spiritual warfare in an age where the veil is thinning. What happens when the supernatural refuses to stay hidden? And more importantly… what side are you on?

740: Squatch Watchers

In episode 740: Squatch Watchers, the Squatch Watchers dive deep into the mysteries surrounding their North Carolina investigation site. What began as a pursuit of Bigfoot has evolved into something far more unsettling. Rocks materialize from nowhere. Silent forests hum with unseen energy. Something lurks beneath the fallen trees—watching, waiting. From the discovery of the Bigfoot Underground—a labyrinth of fallen timber concealing something unnatural—to an inexplicable rock that vanished midair, their encounters defy conventional explanation. Then came Fear Rock. Since its discovery, nightmares, physical attacks, and an oppressive force have followed them—even a simple object seemed to bring chaos into their lives. Are these entities tied to the land? Are they watching from beyond the river? And most disturbingly… have the Squatch Watchers been marked?

Members Preview | 739: Gateway To Narnia

In episode 739: Gateway To Narnia, Matthew joins to share his chilling experiences with a mysterious stretch of land that defied time and reality. What began as a childhood hideout—a secluded patch of woods marked by an old fallen tree—soon revealed itself to be something much more. Strange silences would descend without warning. Disembodied voices whispered from the trees. And then, the impossible happened—chopped-down trees and cleared brush inexplicably restored overnight, as if his presence had never disturbed the land at all. But the deeper he and his friends ventured, the stranger it became. A glowing man in white appeared only to vanish behind a single tree. A pale, ghostly boy with hollow eyes sent an unspoken warning that shook Matthew to his core. And as the years passed, the experiences only grew darker—mysterious footsteps on rooftops, music from nowhere, and a bizarre encounter with two anachronistic police officers in an untouched vintage patrol car. What was this place? A portal? A realm shift? A supernatural crossing point between worlds? And if so—who, or what, was watching him from the other side?

738: Warfare In The Second Heaven

In episode 738: Warfare In The Second Heaven, Caleb steps forward to share his story—a life spent straddling two realities. From childhood encounters with shadow figures to direct confrontations with dark entities, he has been thrust into spiritual warfare that most never see. After nearly ending his own life, he made a desperate plea to God: If you're real, you have to show me. What followed was a transformation that led him into the depths of the supernatural. He describes being pulled into the second heaven, where time moves erratically, the ground breathes, and unseen forces wage war. He has faced the Hat Man, battled the stag-headed god Cernunnos, and stood against forces that feed on fear and chaos. But why him? And why are the occult obsessed with accessing this realm? If the second heaven is a battleground between light and darkness, how much of our world is shaped by what happens there?

In episode 737: Trapped In Secret Underground Labs, Jenn on X, from episode 658: Surviving Epstein Island, returns with revelations that defy belief. A survivor of elite trafficking networks, she recounts a harrowing childhood spent on Long Island’s hidden islands, subjected to experiments within underground and underwater facilities. However, the abuse was only the beginning. Jenn describes encounters with non-human entities, off-world travel so routine she made a game of holding Earth's air in her lungs, and a desperate attempt to stow away on a craft bound for the unknown. She speaks of deep-sea installations, diplomatic meetings held in submerged tunnels, and brutal training programs meant to forge children into tools of the elite. And when she failed an ominous test, everything changed. From shadowy figures who dictate world affairs to her near-sacrifice in an ancient Egyptian ritual, Jenn’s testimony forces us to ask, how deep does this conspiracy go? And if her memories are returning, how many others have yet to wake up?

736: The Power Of Arche

In episode 736: The Power Of Arche, Daniel Duval, from episode 522: Uncovering CIA Satanic Ritual Abuse, returns to expose the spiritual battleground most never see. From his work deprogramming survivors of deep occult systems to uncovering supernatural realms hidden within Scripture, Daniel shares staggering revelations. He details the Arche, a personal spiritual domain granted by God, capable of warfare, intercession, and even collapsing demonic strongholds. But as he unlocked its potential, the kingdom of darkness fought back. Daniel dives into the shocking reality of angels wounded in battle, spiritual devices used against believers, and secret trades happening between dark entities and human leaders. What happens when technology is acquired not through science, but through soul sacrifices? This isn’t just theory, it’s an urgent call to arms. If everything we've been told about spiritual warfare is incomplete, what else has been hidden from us? And more importantly, how do we fight back?

RELOADED | 522: Uncovering CIA Satanic Ritual Abuse

In episode 522: Uncovering CIA Satanic Ritual Abuse we are joined by Daniel Duval. I stumbled across Daniel years ago when I was still driving semi trucks in Philadelphia. He operates Bride Ministries International and would talk about SRA victims and how they tie into CIA activities. He would have people on his program that were victims themselves and I truly learned a lot from his show. Sometimes it takes me too long to reach out to people to have them on our show and Daniel was one of them. He is years overdue for an appearance on The Confessionals. So, today you will hear us discussing CIA SRA victims, mothers of darkness and other things that you will hopefully walk away knowing this stuff really does happen to people.

In episode 734: Whistleblower Encountered Alien While in 'The Program' at Area 51, Jason Sands reveals his extraordinary experiences within a classified military program that he was chosen for—one that operates in the shadows of the U.S. government. A former Air Force intelligence specialist, Jason shares how he was recruited into a secretive initiative at Nellis Air Force Base, a place where reality bends and the unknown becomes undeniable. Jason recounts the chilling moment he encountered a being unlike anything he had ever seen—an entity with no ears, oversized eyes, and a request for a mysterious metallic material. He details the telepathic communication that defied explanation, the missing time he experienced, and the eerie realization that his convoy companions seemed almost entranced. From his early childhood UFO sighting to the revelations he uncovered in the program, Jason’s testimony raises staggering questions: What are these entities, really? Are they from another star system, another dimension, or something even more unfathomable? And why does the government go to such great lengths to keep it all hidden?
