    • Memory lapses and shared silence in unexplained experiencesUnexplained experiences like UFO sightings or alleged abductions often involve memory lapses or shared silence among witnesses. Reasons could be the effects of the experience or external influences.

      Unexplained experiences, such as UFO sightings or alleged abductions, often involve memory lapses or shared silence among those involved. This phenomenon, where people cannot recall details or discuss the event, adds to the mystery and intrigue surrounding these experiences. It's not uncommon for individuals to have hazy memories about such events or for no one else to remember them. The reasons for this could be due to various factors, including the effects of the experience itself or external influences like light pollution or advanced technology of the perceived entities. Ultimately, these unexplained experiences challenge our understanding of reality and remind us that there are still many things in the universe that remain a mystery.

    • Validation from others can provide a sense of relief and understanding in unexplained experiencesSharing unexplained experiences with others can validate and provide a sense of connection, reducing feelings of isolation and promoting sanity.

      Validation from others can play a significant role in helping people process unexplained experiences, providing a sense of lessening isolation and promoting sanity. The speaker shared their experience of discovering multiple UFO reports in Western New York, which validated their own sighting and provided a sense of connection to others. They also discussed an unexplained encounter their neighbors had with a mysterious creature, which their family jokingly referred to as "Black Nemesis." While some family members believed it could be a Sasquatch, the speaker left the interpretation open. The validation of shared experiences, whether they are UFO sightings or encounters with the unknown, can provide a sense of relief and understanding, making people feel less alone in their beliefs.

    • Childhood encounters with the unknownEncounters with the unexplained during childhood can deeply impact individuals and shape their beliefs and interests for a lifetime.

      Encounters with the unknown can have a profound impact on people, especially when they occur at a young age. The speakers shared two such experiences from their childhood. The first was a mysterious encounter with something in the mud that scared them deeply, which they named the "black nemesis." Despite the humor they often shared with their family, the speakers and their friends were deeply disturbed by this experience and continued to discuss it over the years. The second encounter, which occurred when the speaker was older, involved a shadowy figure that left a lasting impression and sparked a lifelong interest in the paranormal. These experiences demonstrate how the unexplained can leave a lasting impact on individuals and shape their beliefs and interests.

    • Encountering the Unexpected in NatureNature can provide comfort and distraction, but unexpected experiences can add a sense of awe and wonder, leaving us with intriguing memories

      Nature can provide comfort and distraction during difficult times, but the unexpected can also bring a sense of awe and wonder. The speaker shares a personal experience of hiking with her brothers to lift her spirits after a breakup, only to encounter an inexplicable shadowy figure in the woods. Despite feeling initially unnerved, she was not afraid and instead, her curiosity was piqued. The encounter, though unexplained, added to the sense of adventure and mystery of the day. The experience remained with her, a strange and intriguing memory from her past.

    • Encountering unexplained phenomena can be validating and intriguing, but experiences can vary greatlyPersonal encounters with the unexplained can provide validation and fascination, but reactions and frequency can differ greatly from person to person.

      Personal experiences with the unexplained can be validating and intriguing, but the frequency and impact of these experiences can vary greatly from person to person. The speaker shared an experience of encountering a shadow figure while at work, which they later learned was a phenomenon known as a "shadow person." Although they felt validated by discovering that others had similar experiences, they were grateful that it only happened to them once. In a more recent experience, the speaker's brother's fiancée reported seeing a figure crouching in their family's Oregon home, which is believed to be haunted. The speaker, who had lived there for a summer, also reported experiencing a ghostly presence in the same apartment unit where her grandparents had spent a lot of time. Despite her fascination with the paranormal, the speaker acknowledged that she would react differently if she encountered these phenomena again now that she is more educated about them.

    • Unexplained presence in bed could be a loved oneAssuming familiarity with the unknown can reduce fear, experiences of unexplained presence can be comforting, and individuals prioritize self-installed home security systems for control and peace of mind.

      The speaker had an unexplained experience of feeling a human presence in her bed, which she assumed was one of her grandparents. This event, which she initially found creepy, became less frightening when she realized it might be a loved one. The speaker's mother also reported having a similar experience, making the incident more real and less unsettling for the speaker. This experience highlights the complexity of emotions surrounding the unknown and the comfort that can be found in assuming familiarity. Additionally, the speaker mentioned that she values the self-installation feature of SimpliSafe home security systems, emphasizing the importance of individuals taking control of their home security.

    • Setting up home security with SimpliSafeEasily secure your home with SimpliSafe in 30 minutes, no long-term contracts, hidden fees, or installation costs

The speaker, whose father used to work in home security, was impressed by the ease of use and accessibility of SimpliSafe. Additionally, the company's products are accessible to anyone, regardless of location, as they will be aired online. A listener shared an unexplained encounter in the woods while mushroom hunting, emphasizing the importance of feeling secure in one's home.

    • An encounter with an unknown, ape-like creature in the forestWitnessed an unusual, terrifying encounter with an ape-like creature in the forest whose movements resembled an octopus or spider, leaving them shocked, emotional and with physical reactions.

      The witness described an unusual and terrifying encounter in the forest, which initially appeared to be a human, but turned out to be an unknown, ape-like creature. The creature's movements were unlike anything the witness had ever seen before, resembling an octopus or a spider's quick and fluid motion. The encounter left the witness feeling shocked, spooked, and emotional, and they had a difficult time processing what they had seen. The incident also brought back memories of a possible bear encounter a few days prior, but the creature's appearance and movements were significantly different. The witness's reaction was a physical one, with goosebumps and an icy chill running through their body. Overall, the encounter was a reminder of the unknown and mysterious elements that exist in nature.

    • Encounter with an Unidentified Creature near Mount HoodTwo witnesses described encounters with unidentified creatures near Mount Hood, each reporting unusual movements and emotional responses that lasted for weeks

      The witness described an encounter with an unidentified creature that moved in an unusual and fluid way, unlike anything they had seen before in the natural world. The terrain was challenging to navigate, but the creature moved gracefully through it. The witness was deeply affected by the encounter, which took place near Mount Hood in the Parkdale area. Interestingly, a friend of the witness had a similar encounter around 25 miles away, describing the creature as getting down on all fours and moving quickly. Both witnesses reported an emotional response that lasted for weeks. These encounters have had a significant impact on their lives and have led them to become advocates for sharing their experiences. The descriptions of the creatures' movements and behavior are strikingly similar, suggesting that there may be a common explanation for what they both witnessed. However, without further investigation, it remains a mystery.

    • Encounter with an Intimidating Creature on the RoadWitnessed a large, intimidating creature on the road, estimated to be 9-12 feet tall and over a thousand pounds, which charged towards their car multiple times, leaving them feeling helpless and uncertain of what they had encountered.

      The witness encountered a large, intimidating creature on the side of the road, which left them feeling helpless and scared. Despite initial fears that the creature could have been over 50 feet tall, it was estimated to be around 9-12 feet tall and weighed over a thousand pounds. The creature exhibited aggressive behavior, charging towards the car and intimidating the witnesses. The witnesses were trapped, unable to turn back or drive past the creature due to the mountainous terrain. The creature continued to appear and charge towards them multiple times before eventually disappearing, leaving the witnesses shaken and uncertain of what they had encountered.

    • Two Different Types of Sasquatch EncountersWitnessed two distinct types of Sasquatch: one large and muscular, the other skinny and agile. Initial skepticism turned into acceptance through research.

      The witness described two distinctly different Sasquatch encounters. The first one was large, muscular, and had small proportions for its head and broad, exaggerated shoulders. It walked with bent knees and hunched over, resembling a bodybuilder who had overdeveloped chest muscles. The second one was skinny, tall, and had long arms. It was more agile and moved like a spider, using its fingertips and toes to crawl. The witness was initially surprised by the lack of support from family and friends, but their research led them to a new understanding of the Sasquatch as a lean, powerful being rather than the bulky, muscular figure commonly portrayed.

    • An Encounter with an Unusual Creature in the Pacific NorthwestA speaker recounted an encounter with a large, strange creature in the Pacific Northwest, described as extremely tall and wide with long, lanky extremities, leaving them feeling alien and unsure. Despite plans to investigate further, safety concerns and other commitments prevented a return visit.

      The speaker had an encounter with an unusually large and strange creature, possibly Bigfoot, in the Pacific Northwest. The creature was described as being extremely tall and wide, with long, lanky extremities that defied the speaker's ability to process. The speaker did not go back to the site to investigate further due to safety concerns and other commitments. The Pacific Northwest is known for larger-than-average animals, and the speaker noted that reported sightings of Bigfoot in the area often describe creatures that are significantly taller than those reported in other areas. The speaker's initial reaction was that the creature seemed almost alien in its movements and disappearance. Other people have also described similar encounters using similar language. The speaker plans to return to the area to investigate further and get a more accurate perspective of the creature's size.

    • Exploring the Unexplained with CautionPersonal experiences with unexplained phenomena deserve respect and documentation, but should be shared with caution due to potential negative reactions and misinformation.

      The speaker values personal experiences and encourages caution when sharing them, especially when they involve unexplained phenomena. The speaker's hesitance to label their experience stems from its powerful impact on them and the unexplored depths of the unknown. They believe that the world and the universe are far more mysterious than we understand and that people's experiences, no matter how bizarre they may seem, deserve respect and documentation. The speaker also advises being careful when sharing experiences with others due to potential negative reactions and the existence of misinformation within certain communities. Ultimately, they view the exploration of unexplained phenomena as a valuable way to expand our understanding of the world around us.

    • Sharing personal experiences of encounters with unusual creatures leads to fascinating discoveriesConnecting the dots between seemingly unrelated stories can reveal unexpected similarities and validate unique experiences

      Sharing personal experiences and connecting the dots between seemingly unrelated stories can lead to fascinating discoveries. The discussion revolves around two individuals, Cheyenne and Wes, who both had encounters with creatures described as moving in ways that defy the usual expectations of large, lumbering beings. These experiences, which occurred in the same general area, resonated with each other due to their similarities. Hearing others' stories provided validation and comfort to those who had the experiences, helping them to process and cope with the impact on their lives. The idea that these creatures have a wider range of physical abilities than commonly assumed adds to the intrigue surrounding them.

    • The power of transformative experiencesNew experiences, whether personal or through others, can bring about growth and change, leading to profound emotions and personal development.

      Experiencing something profound, no matter how close or far it is from our own experiences, can have a significant impact on us. The speaker expresses his excitement and determination to visit a specific location after learning about a transformative experience someone else had there. He acknowledges that such experiences can bring about both good and challenging emotions. The speaker's enthusiasm for this journey reflects his belief in the power of personal growth and discovery. Despite having to postpone his plans due to circumstances, he remains optimistic and looks forward to embarking on this adventure in the next year. Overall, this conversation underscores the importance of seeking out new experiences and embracing the changes they bring.

    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.

    RELOADED | 381: Knock Knock Knock
    In Episode 381: Knock Knock Knock, we are joined by Travis, who did not experience anything paranormal in his life until he was around 20 years old, when he had a terrifying hatman encounter. The hatman Travis witnessed was different than many of the descriptions we’ve heard before, because the hatman wasn't alone. When Travis saw him, he was accompanied by a little girl to whom he was feeding a dead crow. Later in the episode, as we recap Travis’ experiences, some strange activity on the line leaves us feeling like the hatman was listening and interacting with us live in the moment!

    In Episode 452: Abducted and Implanted, we are joined by Ryan in the United Kingdom. Since he was a young child, Ryan has had experiences that seem to be paranormal - on the surface. But after hearing his story, you will be left wondering if his perceived abduction experiences are related to his early paranormal experiences. Ryan believes they are all connected, and it's hard to argue with him when you hear about his experiences. From haunting entities to abductions with implants, to catching things on camera in his house, Ryan shares his incredible life story.

    SC EP:891 Sasquatch Encounter Brigade

    Jonny will be joining me tonight from Georgia. Jonny never gave Sasquatch another thought. He had a strange experience on his property with strange lights. Shortly after the lights showed up, Sasquatch showed up.

    Jonny started a YouTube Channel where he post his evidence. The channel is called The Sasquatch Encounter Brigade. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLtRbSsqqwOzl_Vb_-bbKzQ/featured

    416: Alien Ovarian Abduction

    416: Alien Ovarian Abduction
    In Episode 416: Alien Ovarian Abduction, we are joined by Sheera. Some time ago, a listener of The Confessionals sent in a TikTok video featuring Sheera that had gone viral, in which she made the claim she had some of her eggs removed from her body during an abduction scenario. She went on to say that, as a result, she has hybrid children. This is not the first time we have encountered this type of claim on the show: in Episode 226: Reptilians and Alien Offspring, we were joined by Dave Emmons, who has similar stories of abduction and sexual interactions resulting in hybrid offspring. Is Sheera another person on a growing list of people who were not only abducted, but also have human-alien children as a result of their abduction?
