Are black holes actually portals? A new study suggests they may not be cosmic traps after all. Meanwhile, shocking claims about Jeffrey Epstein’s shapeshifting resurface—Juliette Rose Bryant describes bizarre encounters. And what if the Egyptians didn’t build the Egyptian pyramids but inherited from a pre-flood civilization? Could they have harnessed Earth's energy, as Tesla believed? The mystery runs deeper than we think…

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?

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?

Scientists just unveiled a computer powered by human brain cells, and it’s more terrifying than you think! The CL1 biological computer from Cortical Labs merges lab-grown neurons with AI, raising massive questions about sentience, ethics, and the future of artificial intelligence. Is this the next step toward machine consciousness, or are we playing with fire?
In this episode, we break down:
🧠 How this “brain in a box” works
⚠️ The ethical dangers of merging biology with computing
🤖 Could this lead to sentient AI—or something worse?
But that’s not all! We’re also diving into:
🎭 Lady Gaga’s bizarre SNL skit—what’s REALLY going on?
🛸 The latest UFO videos on X—new leaks or just more distractions?
Are we headed toward the singularity, or is this just another overhyped tech stunt?

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?

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?

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?

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 735: Crawlers Haunt Carolina Woods, Chloe and her uncle Jamie recount a series of chilling encounters in the Appalachian wilderness. It starts with Chloe’s late-night sighting of a gaunt, pale humanoid, what many call a "crawler." But she isn’t alone. Jamie, living just a hundred feet away, has seen the same thing watching from the treeline. Their experiences don’t stop there. Jamie discovers muddy handprints on his truck, shadowy figures invading homes, and eerie activity that began after ancient hieroglyphs were disturbed on his property. From Bigfoot-like creatures to unseen forces breaking into houses, the strange events only escalate.
As if that weren’t enough, Chloe shares her UFO encounters, silent black triangles gliding overhead and a glowing green craft that shook the treetops. Could these sightings be connected? And what happens when the supernatural refuses to leave?

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?

In episode 733: Ex-Shaman Exposes Dark Secrets, Patrick shares his journey which is unlike any other. Once deeply entrenched in shamanic practices, Reiki, and spiritual realms, he shares his incredible transformation, from wielding supernatural power to witnessing firsthand the darkness that lurks beneath. Patrick opens up about his family’s ancient bloodline, his encounters with otherworldly entities, and the shocking events that led him to abandon it all.
He dives into the hidden influences shaping our destinies, the reality of soul retrieval, and the deception behind the pursuit of enlightenment. With haunting experiences of shadow figures, ancestral spirits, and a direct encounter with a divine angel, Patrick’s story reveals the unseen battle for our souls.
How do generational ties impact our spiritual paths? And could some supernatural encounters be leading us away from the truth rather than toward it?

From the alleged role of intelligence agencies in controlling the UFO narrative to firsthand accounts of surveillance, stolen emails, and secretive government programs, Jon peels back the layers of deception. He reveals the shocking identities behind the figures involved in the mysterious footage, the coded messages hidden in official documents, and the chilling implications of what it all means.

In episode 731: Unseen War Across Bloodlines, Derek joins for a mind-bending journey into his past, the supernatural forces that have stalked his family, and the bloodline curses that refuse to let go. Raised in a broken home, Derek wrestled with lucid dreams from childhood, nightmarish encounters that seemed more real than dreams should be. But the deeper he dug, the more disturbing the truth became—generational iniquity, Masonic ties, and an unseen presence that never stopped watching.
He then shares the story of a woman he knows who has had multiple encounters with Dogman, one that attacked her and another that seemed to help. Scars remain, both physical and spiritual, but they raise even bigger questions: UFO sightings, strange dream realms, and the possibility of ancient agreements still at work today. The question isn’t whether something is watching—it’s what happens when you finally see it.

Man, the Confessionals has really lost the plot at this point. They have flown straight past fringe into delusional heresy. This guy sounds absolutely nuts. He sounds like every moonbat new ager with delusions of grandeur that I have ever met passed through a Christian veneer. I will pray for this guy and Tony.
this was one of my favorites!!!!! This guy knows how to tell a story...ty
great mashup!!!!!!!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Clements_%28public_official%29?wprov=sfla1. the guy being escorted
Great discussion - getting real and pulling back the curtain on the lives of those on the front line.
awesome
Most entertaining guest ever. I just want to hang out with this guy and listen to his stories and humor for hours. You're funny too Tony. 😊
this is a good episode and I've seen the bat winged clothed figure. I talk about it a bit in an ep of Sasquatch theory I recorded in February or March (yet to b released)I did an ep of almost cannon months back titled devils bridge I believe. only seen it once. 20 years back. but it's just as crisp in my mind. it bothered me. but my friend in the car it terrified as it swept below the tree line so low below the car u couldn't see it for a sec or 2 then over the windshield #TheConfessionals
wes you had an adrenaline dump. it's a crazy thing to go through. People usually get super tired. cry. puke or uncontrollably laughter. It's a body's way of dealing with the fight or flight response. The best thing to do is train your body to lock it away until later. I know that sounds crazy but you can make better decisions and react to save yourself. Then you can break down when you're safe
you can kill them, but the heart isn't where you think it is its on the far right side of the chest best to aim for the armpit
the plug out of the shot gun, the choke is at the end of the barrel. and if you have to defend yourself, a single shot is not what you want. Just think of the first jurassic Park movie when the guy is hurting the raptor. you have one in your sight but don't see the outhers on the side
Did you just disclose exactly what you saw after watching a video that required you to sign an NDA? Little confused, not gonna lie..
this guy's research is based on fiction and it just got worse as the episode transgressed 😶 into a delusional, homophobic conspiracy laden pile of crap, mixing bs science with current events.
I was so glad Tony mentioned the werewolf girlfriend episode because I was just thinking how this story validates that one!!!
I'm so happy Tony mentioned the werewolf girlfriend episode because I was JUST thinking how this story validates that one !!!!
why is this show all about demons and nightmares and spiritual warfare these days? it used to be about ghosts, cryptids, d.u.m.bs, dimensions and stuff that was interesting. like, we came for bigfoot & haunted houses, dude, not demons and childhood abuse. we've got enough depressing s*** going on in this world today. we want to be entertained, not feel even worse. this used to be one of the best podcasts, hands down, but halfway through its run it started to tank.
lol putting God's miracles and work behind a paywall, what a joke.
finally!! a good show topic! yay
thank you so much Tony and your family for giving me a platform to share my experiences. Y'all are awesome and I love your guys for what y'all do! God bless you and your family's and bless the confessionals family I love you all! much love and peace! feel free to reach out to me if anyone has any questions about my stories or my past. thedudedevo@gmail.com
this podcast used to be sooo good, one of my top three. now it's a very very rare occasion when I find an episode that interests me. in the words of cher, if I could turn back Time!!!
