The moment of release was marked by the blowing out of heavy church curtains, signifying the end of the spiritual battle.

    RELOADED | 502: Lost Treasure and Secret Petroglyphs of Virginia

    RELOADED | 502: Lost Treasure and Secret Petroglyphs of Virginia
    In Episode 502: Lost Treasure and Secret Petroglyphs of Virginia we are joined by Justin, Lance, and Ryan from the Appalachian Intelligence podcast, who reached out months ago regarding some unusual pictures they had taken in Virginia. Buried in the hills of Virginia, there is a huge rock that Justin, Lance, and Ryan stumbled across, with petroglyphs etched into its face. As they sought out answers to their discovery, the mystery became much deeper. With the information they’ve since been given, they are now joining in on a hunt for the lost treasure of the Swift Silver Mine, which might have a direct connection to their secret petroglyph boulder.

    Introducing: Free The Rabbits

    Introducing: Free The Rabbits
    How deep down the rabbit hole have you gone? Do you currently reside there? If so, it's time to touch grass and get your tail out of the hole!

    “Free The Rabbits” is a new podcast by Joel Thomas that explores the conspiratorial world without getting lost in the proverbial rabbit hole. It's easy to attribute negative causes and effects to events that don't make sense around us. While sometimes there might be a valid case for such machinations, there's just as likely a simple explanation. Joel Thomas doesn’t shy away from the weird, supernatural, and paranormal, but he offers a unique perspective on conspiracies. He acknowledges that theories are just that—possibilities, not provable facts.

    In episode 662: Field Of Fear, Eugene shares his many experiences with the paranormal that have spanned many years. He begins his story with eerie backyard phenomena, including strange vocalizations and a glowing orbs, that he and his wife had seen together. Eugene then shares his harrowing experience of coon hunting, where he and others encountered unexplained metallic slams, red eyes, and a mysterious creature with large ears and long fingers, emitting a foul smell. It terrified him so much at the time, that he is still shaken up by it to this day.

    He then recounts his family's eerie encounters with supernatural entities, his stepson's dark magic, and his own mysterious sightings. He talks about his fascination with magic, paganism, portals, Kentucky giants, UFOs, and strange lights, concluding with a dive into genealogy and family history, including his involvement in the Free Masons.
