Member Preview | 431: The Church From Hell
In Episode 431: The Church From Hell we have Nick joining us for the third and final installment. He comes today to talk about how when he was released from prison he and his wife were essentially homeless. That is until a church volunteered their property for him and his wife to live at until they got back on their feet. A seemingly kind gesture turned into years of horror as Nick and his family learn that this church had some dark things happening within it. For one, this Christian church had witches in leadership so right off the bat there was a theological conflict. But then as they lived there they experienced orbs going through Nick's body, alien-like beings inside the house, succubus encounters, skinwalker sightings, demons going after kids, Nick being picked up and thrown across the room, and even witch seances outside on the property. With the abuse Nick and his family endured, it's safe to safe that this is literally the church from hell.

Member Preview | 429: Drugs and Demons
In Episode 429: Drugs and Demons, we welcome Judy to The Confessionals. Sometimes it seems like certain life circumstances can spawn paranormal activity in someone’s life, and that holds true in Judy’s case. Because of an abusive situation at home, Judy found herself as an emancipated minor in the 1970s, and she hitchhiked all over the country from ages 13 to 21. In her travels, she became mixed up in the wrong crowds, ranging from drug activity to satanic witchcraft cults. As a result of her personal life experiences and witnessing demons and demonic possessions, Judy was later motivated to get a degree in psychology. She believes that some people diagnosed with schizophrenia are in fact misdiagnosed, and more likely are really demonically possessed. Judy's life was a whirlwind of drama, but she made it through the rough spots and hopes to inspire others into understanding they are not alone in these experiences.Become a member for AD FREE listening and EXTRA shows: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinWatch Expedition Dogman: https://bit.ly/36z3B4s

428: Childhood Abductions
In Episode 428: CHildhood Abductions we are talking with Robert. He has had a wild life of experiences with abductions where as a child he would be checked on by aliens only to be rejected because according to them he was "flawed." The police were called once because his parents were convinced their house was broken into but when the police narrowed the breaking and entering to Roberts's room he knew it wasn't a human that came in. He lived his whole life with the memories of these experiences and recently it all came full circle. Robert met his girlfriend's friend and this friend tells him that she too was abducted as a child. She also tells him that she recognizes him because when she was being abducted as a child the aliens would frequently stop at his house and she would see him through the window. This friend then proceeds to describe Robert's childhood home perfectly for him proving that she was present during his abductions.

Member Preview | 427: Talking Red-Eyed Bigfoot
In Episode 427: Talking Red-Eyed Bigfoot, Morgan, a Native American in British Columbia, joins The Confessionals to share his history with the bizarre things that go bump in the night. Over the years, we have had other guests share the strange things they experienced living on reservations, and Morgan's reservation is no different. Both he and his family have had unique run-ins with bigfoot. He tells us about shapeshifting bigfoot, and his uncle’s experience talking with a red-eyed bigfoot in their native tongue – even though his uncle didn't even know how to speak the native tongue. His aunt also witnessed a goatman, who seemed more manlike than anything, until she looked down and realized he had hooves! Finally, it seems no stories from a reservation would be complete without rake sightings, and Morgan shares them with us too.Become a VIP for early access to the "Expedition Dogman" premiere at merkel.media!VIP Premiere: 3/11/22 exclusively on merkel.mediaPublic Premiere: 3/25/22 on The Confessionals YouTubeBecome a member for AD FREE listening and EXTRA shows: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinMAILING ADDRESS:

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.
