    • Guest Shares Alleged Abduction Experience on Confessionals PodcastListeners can tune in to the Confessionals podcast to hear unexplained experiences shared by guests, from encounters with giants and extraterrestrials to alleged abductions. Shira, a recent guest, shared her experience of being abducted and having her eggs harvested for creating hybrid babies.

      The podcast "Confessionals" hosted by Tony Merkel features various guests sharing their unexplained experiences, including alleged encounters with giants, extraterrestrial beings, and abductions. Merkel encourages listeners to share their own stories by emailing the show. The podcast offers bonus content for members and is available on various platforms, including Instagram (@confessionals and @tonymerkelofficial) and the Castos app. An upcoming documentary titled "Legion of Legends" is also mentioned, promising exciting investigations into various unexplained phenomena. Shira, a guest on the show, shares her experience of being abducted and having her eggs harvested for creating hybrid babies. The show came about when one of Merkel's old friends reached out, impressed by a viral TikTok video of Shira's, and suggested she be a guest.

    • Personal experience of going viral on TikTokGoing viral can bring intense emotions, questioning reality, and dealing with negativity. Mental preparation and separating from toxic platforms are essential for resilience.

      Going viral on social media, even with millions of views, can be an intense and overwhelming experience for content creators. The speaker shared her personal experience of having a viral video on TikTok, which led to a rollercoaster of emotions, questioning reality, and dealing with negative comments. She also discussed the importance of mental preparation and separating oneself from toxic social media platforms to avoid the negativity that can come with creating content. The speaker was inspired by Joe Rogan's approach to ignoring comments and focusing on the positive aspects of his audience. Overall, the experience of going viral highlighted the importance of resilience and perspective for content creators.

    • Impact of Negative Online Interactions on Personal Well-beingNegative online interactions can lead to emotional, spiritual, and personal harm. Setting boundaries and prioritizing mental and emotional health is crucial when engaging in online communities.

      Engaging with negative comments and energy online can have a profound impact on an individual's emotional, spiritual, and personal well-being. This was evident in the speaker's experience, where they stopped exercising, meditating, and focusing on personal activities due to the negative energy they encountered online. The speaker also shared how they found it difficult to ignore false or offensive comments, which led them to block people and even change their name to disassociate from their past. This experience underscores the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing mental and emotional health when engaging in online communities. Additionally, the speaker's experience highlights the potential for negative online interactions to cause trauma and long-term changes in one's identity.

    • Finding Inspiration and Embracing a New Identity: A Personal Journey to Change NamesPeople change their names for deeply personal reasons, inspiring new identities and letting go of old belief systems, with supportive families and notable examples in various industries

      People change their names for various deeply personal reasons. For one individual, named Bailey, the decision to change her name to Shira was a result of finding inspiration in an anime series and feeling a strong intuition that it was the right choice for her. The process involved letting go of old belief systems and embracing a new identity. Bailey's family has been supportive, although they have a hard time adjusting to the change. Changing names is not a new phenomenon, with examples ranging from childhood requests to more recent decisions motivated by personal reasons. One notable example is NBA player Ennis Kantor, who recently changed his last name to Freedom. The location of an email service is an important consideration for privacy, as illustrated by StartMail, a private individual email service based in the Netherlands that is not covered by the Patriot Act.

    • The Cost of Free Email Services: Privacy Invasion and Data SellingThe Netherlands' stricter privacy laws make privacy-focused alternatives like StartMail a better choice than free email services like Gmail and Yahoo, which invade user privacy and sell data.

      While free email services like Gmail and Yahoo may seem convenient, they come with a cost to users in the form of privacy invasion and data selling. The Netherlands, however, has stricter privacy laws, making services like StartMail, which offers encrypted emails and anonymous aliases, a more privacy-focused alternative. The speaker also shared a personal experience of feeling frozen and encountering a holographic figure during a nap in 2018, which left them feeling uncertain about reality. Despite the uncertainty, their mind urged them to "let them take you," which the speaker interpreted as a call to surrender to the unknown. This experience added to their questioning of their place in the world and led them to consider alternative ways of living. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the importance of privacy and the potential costs of free services, as well as the value of being open to new experiences and perspectives.

    • A profound and unexplained experienceThe speaker's unexplained experience left them with a new perspective on reality and led them to explore new interests, ultimately resulting in dropping out of college.

      The speaker had an unusual and profound experience which they describe as an alien abduction, although they're unsure if it was an astral projection or something else. They were taken from their supine position on the couch, levitated, and encountered a being who performed some unknown actions on them. The experience was joyful and pleasant, but left the speaker with a deep sense of change and a new perspective on reality. The experience lasted only a minute or two, but it left a lasting impact on the speaker, leading them to explore new interests and ultimately drop out of college. The speaker acknowledges that the term "alien abduction" is an easy way to explain the experience to others, but they're unsure if that's the most accurate label. Despite the uncertainty, the speaker is confident in their ability to remember and describe the experience in detail. The experience had a profound impact on the speaker, leading them to explore new interests and ultimately drop out of college.

    • Personal experiences of sleep paralysis and paranormal entitiesSome people report paranormal experiences during sleep paralysis, which can be deeply personal and challenging to reconcile with scientific explanations. Validation from medical professionals can help individuals process these experiences.

      Sleep paralysis is a recognized medical condition, but some people report experiencing paranormal entities during these episodes. These experiences can be deeply personal and life-changing, and it can be challenging for individuals to reconcile these experiences with scientific explanations. The speaker shares her own experience of sleep paralysis and the discovery that three of her eggs had been taken, which she believes is connected to her experiences. She has since discussed her experience with her OBGYN, who believes her and has encountered her story before. While the scarring on her ovary cannot be definitively linked to the egg removal, the speaker feels validated by her doctor's belief in her experience. Overall, this discussion highlights the complexity of understanding and categorizing unusual experiences, and the importance of respecting individuals' subjective realities.

    • Unusual experiences during medical procedures involving entities and egg removalReports exist of women experiencing unusual entities during medical procedures, but the reality and causes are unclear, and individuals are encouraged to consider their own beliefs and interpretations.

      There are reports from women about unusual experiences during medical procedures, which may involve entities and the removal of eggs. These experiences are not widely acknowledged or understood, and it's unclear if they are regional or more widespread. Some people believe that these entities may be bringing on sleep paralysis, and the experiences may not fit neatly into scientific definitions. The reality of these experiences is open to interpretation, and individuals are encouraged to consider their own beliefs and perspectives. The possibility of extraterrestrial or interdimensional involvement is one theory, but there are many other possibilities as well. The speaker's own experience involves a strong intuition that the events were real, but the true nature of these experiences remains a mystery.

    • Personal Encounter with Extraterrestrials or Something BeyondSpeaker shares her belief in an interdimensional or spiritual encounter, expresses skepticism towards conspiracy theories, and promotes HelloFresh for convenience and customization.

      The speaker shares her personal experience of an encounter with extraterrestrial beings, which she believes was interdimensional or spiritual in nature. She expresses skepticism towards conspiracy theories involving government involvement or organ harvesting. The speaker then transitions to promoting HelloFresh, expressing her love for the meal kit service and the convenience and affordability it offers. She also mentions the new customization feature, Hello Custom, which allows users to tailor their meals to their preferences. While acknowledging the existence of theories about government collaboration with extraterrestrials, the speaker personally interprets her experience as something beyond the physical realm.

    • Parallel Universes and Interdimensional EntitiesThe speaker believes in the existence of parallel universes and interactions between entities from these universes and our own, involving both spiritual and physical aspects. CERN experiments may be linked to these phenomena, and we might be the universe experiencing itself in various ways.

      Our reality may not be as singular as we believe. The speaker expresses their conviction that parallel universes exist and that entities from these universes can interact with our world. They suggest that these interactions may involve both spiritual and physical aspects. The speaker shares their belief that CERN experiments could be linked to these phenomena, and they express the idea that we may be the universe experiencing itself in various ways. The speaker also shares their personal experiences with entities they believe were not entirely human, describing them as empty and not responding to trauma relief techniques in the same way as humans. Overall, the speaker's perspective challenges the notion of a single, isolated reality and invites us to consider a more complex and interconnected universe.

    • Exploring the Possibilities of Interdimensional Beings and Human HybridsBeliefs suggest advanced beings interacted with humans, creating hybrids and potentially manipulating DNA. Some claim spiritual abilities and survival of disasters. These theories question reality and spiritual connection.

      There are beliefs and theories that suggest advanced beings, such as the Grays and Nephilim, have interacted with humans throughout history, leading to the creation of hybrid children and potential manipulation of human DNA. These beings are believed to have spiritual abilities and may have survived disasters like the biblical flood by going interdimensional. Some people even claim to have Nephilim DNA. These theories, while not proven, have led some individuals to question the nature of reality and their own spiritual connection. The speaker emphasizes that they are not endorsing these beliefs but rather exploring the possibilities.

    • Meeting a Believer in Alternative Histories and GiantsA renowned archaeologist shares beliefs in ancient stories, the existence of giants, and withheld information, aligning with some personal beliefs. He warns against DNA testing services for potential Nephilim DNA.

      There are individuals who challenge traditional historical and scientific narratives with alternative perspectives, often drawing on ancient texts and archaeological evidence. One such figure is a renowned archaeologist who believes in the truth of ancient stories like the flood of Noah and the existence of giants. He also believes that important information is being withheld from the public in America and that our souls ascend to the Orion belt. The speaker met this man in person and was intrigued by his ideas, which align with their own beliefs, such as the validity of the Book of Enoch. The scholar they spoke with also confirmed the possibility of Nephilim DNA still being present in humans and warned against DNA testing services, as they may be looking for this DNA. Overall, this discussion highlights the existence of alternative beliefs and the importance of considering various perspectives in understanding history and the world around us.

    • Exploring Past Experiences and Self-DiscoveryThrough exploring past unexplained events and trusting intuition, the speaker has made significant personal growth, including overcoming addiction.

      The speaker has experienced unexplained events in the past, which have left a profound impact on their life. They have considered various methods, such as regressive therapy, to explore these experiences further and potentially recall more details. The speaker's middle name, Lou Lumera, has intrigued them, and they have explored its possible meanings. The speaker values self-discovery and trusts their intuition, viewing their experiences as spiritual in nature. They have made significant personal growth as a result, including overcoming addiction.

    • Sharing personal experiences shapes perspectivesRecognizing and respecting individual experiences can challenge assumptions and provide valuable insights, despite potential challenges like misdiagnosis or societal stigma.

      Personal experiences, whether it's dealing with mental health issues, educational systems, or societal stigmas, can significantly shape one's perspective and beliefs. The speaker shares their experience of struggling with ADHD and the negative impact of being medicated and labeled in the school system. They also express frustration with being misunderstood and misdiagnosed, particularly when it comes to mental health conditions like schizophrenia. Despite these challenges, they remain open-minded and empathetic towards others, recognizing that science and societal understanding may be wrong. Their fiancé fully supports them and values their honesty. Overall, this conversation highlights the importance of listening to and respecting individual experiences, as they can provide valuable insights and challenges our assumptions.

    • The Power of Personal Connections and Shared ExperiencesBeliefs and experiences, rooted in culture or personal encounters, can support each other. Personal struggles, like addiction, can be addressed with support from friends and self-care.

      Personal experiences and beliefs, whether rooted in cultural traditions or personal encounters, can significantly impact and support one another. The speaker's friend, who is of Hopi descent and believes in tribal knowledge about the supernatural, provided unwavering support for the speaker during a challenging time in her life. This friendship, based on shared beliefs and experiences, helped the speaker get through a difficult period. Additionally, the speaker's own experiences with the supernatural, such as hearing strange sounds and encountering unexplained phenomena, further reinforced her belief in the existence of the supernatural and deepened her connection with her friend. Another key takeaway is the importance of acknowledging and addressing personal struggles, such as addiction or mental health issues. The speaker's experience with addiction and her eventual decision to get sober serves as a reminder that it's never too late to seek help and prioritize self-care. Overall, the discussion highlights the power of personal connections and shared experiences in shaping our beliefs and helping us navigate life's challenges.

    • Personal Encounters with the UnexplainedShira shares her belief in the existence of unexplained phenomena, refutes skepticism, and encourages exploration of new ideas based on personal experiences.

      The speaker, Shira, shared her personal experiences of encountering unexplained phenomena, including hearing strange sounds in the sky and encountering extraterrestrial or interdimensional beings. She refuted claims that these experiences were hoaxes or caused by natural phenomena like plow trucks. Shira also expressed her belief that reality is far stranger than we can imagine and that her experiences have led her to explore new ideas and concepts, such as the Book of Enoch. She encouraged listeners to follow her on social media if they have had similar experiences or are interested in learning more. Shira also emphasized the importance of trusting personal truth and not being defined by labels. Despite skepticism and challenges to her experiences, Shira remains convinced that they happened and plans to continue exploring related topics.

    • Bigfoot as a symbol of time and existence beyond human understandingBigfoot, a mysterious creature, represents the unknown and freedom to exist beyond societal norms, adapting to its environment and holding vast knowledge from an era long past, requiring no validation or approval to exist.

      The creature described in the text, which is identified as Bigfoot, represents the concept of time and existence beyond human comprehension. It lives by its own rules, adapts to its environment, and holds vast knowledge from an era long past. Despite being sought after by many, it requires no approval or validation to exist. The speaker's ambition was to make Bigfoot a phenomenon, and he was willing to make sacrifices for it. Marketing and understanding each other were not on the same page for the speaker. He acted swiftly and independently, like a wild card. The creature and the speaker's aspirations represent the unknown, the mysterious, and the freedom to exist beyond societal norms.

    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.

    299: The Spider Crawl
    In Episode 299: The Spider Crawl, we are joined by Cheyanne and Joanna. Cheyanne shares some significant paranormal experiences that both she and her family members have been through throughout her life. These experiences range from UFOs, to ghosts, to the “Black Nemesis.” Following Cheyanne's stories, her brother's fiancée Joanna joins us to describe her bigfoot experience in Washington state. While picking mushrooms, she saw a large creature that walked away from her in a bizarre manner - by dropping down to all fours and "spider walking," all while keeping its torso turned towards her! To Joanna, the creature did not seem like it was of this world, leaving her very confused by what she saw. Interesting to note is that Joanna’s bigfoot encounter is eerily similar to that of the experience of Wes Germer from 'Sasquatch Chronicles'.

    113: The Dark Guardian

    On Episode 113, we begin the show with an interview with Danny, an explorer of abandoned buildings and the creator of the YouTube channel “Exploring With Danny.” Danny takes us through a frightening experience that took place during one of his explorations of an empty chapel, when he ended up capturing some brief but very scary footage! Following Danny, we talk with Alex, one of the people who filmed a large, pyramid-shaped UFO hovering and rotating over the Pentagon in December 2018. Alex shares the events that night which led to him to filming one of the most extraordinary events of his life. Finally, for our main interview we speak with Jeremy, who has been haunted his entire life by an entity. Someone once told him that the entity was present to protect him, but the experiences Jeremy has gone through have been anything but protective.
