In Episode 412: Reservation Alien Abduction, we are joined by Jamaal for a third time to tell his stories from the reservation. He previously joined us on Episode 315: Skinwalkers On The Reservation and on Episode 339: Goatman Found Us. Now on Episode 412, he tells us stories about little people on the reservation, more skinwalker accounts, and seeing a five-foot-tall alien through his window when he was just a kid. After waking up with marks on his body, Jamaal began to think he had possibly become part of an abduction scenario.

In episode 683: The Curse of Zany, Daniel Swarthout, author of "The Wringler" shares his chilling encounters with a malevolent entity named Zany, which has haunted him since childhood. Daniel recounts his early experiences of seeing Zany, a terrifying figure with a white face, sharp teeth, and eyeless sockets, who has loomed over him for decades. As he dives into the dark history of his family's possible cursed bloodline, Daniel reveals how his faith has been both a shield and a battleground against these persistent supernatural attacks. From unexplained physical marks to intense confrontations with this entity, Daniel's story is a haunting reminder of the battles that some carry with them, unseen by others. His life story is a powerful testament to the resilience of faith in the face of overwhelming darkness.

In episode 682: Re-Enchanting The Unseen, Josh Robinson shares his extraordinary experiences as a pastor in West Virginia, detailing an encounter with the supernatural that changed his worldview forever. Josh explains how a young woman, involved in deep witchcraft and invoking ancient deities, came to his church seeking redemption. Her eventual baptism became a powerful, unsettling experience, culminating in what many witnesses, including Josh, believed to be an exorcism.

Josh talks about how this event sparked his deeper exploration of the unseen, ultimately leading him to write a book called "Re-Enchanting the Unseen". He uncovers ancient lore, the mysterious supernatural history of West Virginia, and his upcoming podcast, "Tell Me Strange Things", which will explore local legends such as the Mothman, ancient giants, and the connections between Appalachia and mythical realms like Atlantis.

In episode 681: Face-Off With Bigfoot, Musket returns to the show to share his gripping tales of encounters with the unexplained. He begins by recounting a chilling Bigfoot sighting in the Olympic National Park, where he came face to face with a massive, humanoid creature that left him questioning reality. Adding to the tension, this sighting happened in the same area where a missing person was mysteriously found, leading Musket to wonder if there's a connection between the two events. He also recalls a night hike near Mount Rainier with his wife, where they were followed by strange glowing eyes that seemed to observe their every move. These experiences led Musket, previously a skeptic, to begin questioning the very reality he once thought was true.

In Episode 506: Spiritual Attacks and Healing Prayers we are joined by Stephanie. Years ago on Episode 227: Casting Out Demons & Healing The Sick I did an interview with a man named Hector who had a prayer ministry called The Centurion 813 Prayer Ministry. Before that interview, Hector wanted to pray for any bodily ailments Jack and I were dealing with. During that prayer, Jack's shoulder was healed and that was going to be an omen for things to come for Hector's ministry. Since broadcasting that interview the ministry has grown in participants in which many listeners from this show got involved. One of those listeners is today's guest, Stephanie. She comes on to talk about the lifelong battles in the spiritual realm starting from what she remembers before she was born. She shares how she turned away from the idea of there being a God and dove into witchcraft and the occult only to find herself not only participating in a Christian healing ministry but now leading it as she and Hector both felt God telling them that she was to take over as the head of the ministry.

In episode 679: Kansas City Winged Demon, Devin Delgado recounts his terrifying encounters with sleep paralysis and a nightmarish winged creature in the woods of Missouri. Devin's journey takes us from the chilling paralysis he experienced as a child, where he encountered a shadowy, demonic figure resembling a Pokemon character Kabuto, to a harrowing escape in the woods, culminating in a face-to-face meeting with a mysterious, trench coat-clad entity with massive bat-like wings. Through it all, Devin shares his insights into the spiritual battles he faced and the protective force he believes kept these dark entities at bay.
