    • Grandmother's Transparent GuestSpeaker's encounter with a transparent woman in his grandmother's dining room leads him to discover his grandmother had similar experiences, sparking his fascination with the supernatural.

      The speaker had an unexplained encounter with a transparent woman in his grandmother's dining room. He described her as wearing a long white dress with blue polka dots and a pearl necklace. The woman didn't speak, but instead stared at the speaker before disappearing from the feet up. The speaker initially kept this experience to himself, but later discovered that his grandmother had also seen the woman several times before. When the speaker finally shared his experience with his grandmother, she confirmed that she had seen the woman as well. The encounter left the speaker feeling a mix of relief and shock, as he knew he wasn't imagining things. This experience served as the catalyst for the speaker's interest in the supernatural.

    • Strange noises in the basementTrust and reassurance can help explain away unexplained phenomena, even if they seem eerie or frightening

      The speaker experienced strange noises coming from their basement, which they initially assumed was their grandpa working in the garage. However, when they went to investigate, they found that the noises stopped as soon as they entered the basement, revealing nothing out of the ordinary. The speaker was not scared but rather "freaked out" by the unexplained occurrence, trusting their grandma's reassurance that the noises were harmless. The experience reminded the speaker of a previous encounter with a lady in a dress, but this time it occurred in the basement instead of the garage. Overall, the speaker's account demonstrates the power of trust and reassurance in explaining away unexplained phenomena.

    • Encounter in the Basement with a Woman in a Polka-Dotted DressSpeaker felt uneasy in their grandparents' basement due to an encounter with a woman in a polka-dotted dress, evoking memories of a typical 60s family, despite no further explanation given for her presence or the reason for the uneasy feeling.

      The description of an encounter with a woman in a polka-dotted dress in the basement of a house built in the mid-to-late sixties, as shared by a speaker, evoked images of a typical family from that era. The speaker's grandparents had owned the house, and the only other previous generation of owners was not discussed in detail. The speaker felt an uneasy vibe when going into the basement even 20 years after the encounter. The speaker also mentioned that they only had that feeling when entering their grandparents' basement, and not in more recent homes, including their mother's house. The conversation did not reveal any further explanation for the origin of the woman in the polka-dotted dress or the reason for the uneasy feeling in the basement.

    • Childhood experiences shape our presentChildhood memories, no matter how insignificant, can leave lasting impacts and influence our emotions and perceptions in adulthood

      Childhood experiences, even seemingly insignificant ones, can leave lasting impacts on us. The speaker shares a memory of seeing a horror movie as a child, which gave them an uneasy feeling when going up stairs out of basements to this day. This fear, despite not having a basement growing up, followed them into adulthood and still affects them. The experience shows how our past can shape our present in unexpected ways. The speaker also mentions the unfinished basement in their current home, which adds an extra layer of unease when entering it. Overall, the discussion highlights the power of childhood experiences and how they can influence our emotions and perceptions.

    • Grandpa's skepticism vs. speaker's belief in paranormalPeople's beliefs and reactions to paranormal experiences differ greatly, influenced by their individual perspectives and ways of processing information.

      People's reactions to paranormal experiences and beliefs can vary greatly. The speaker shared an experience of discovering his grandparents had encountered strange occurrences in their home before he did. His grandpa, a practical and hands-on man, had a black-and-white mindset and only believed in what he could see and touch. Despite his wife's accounts of paranormal activity, he didn't give it much credence. The speaker found it intriguing and contrasted his own belief in the supernatural with his grandpa's dismissive attitude. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding that people have different ways of processing information and dealing with the unknown.

    • Reactions to Paranormal Experiences VaryIndividual psyches shape reactions to paranormal experiences, leading to varied responses even among those who share the same event.

      People's reactions to paranormal experiences can vary greatly, even among those who have shared the same experience. The speaker shared an example from his college days when he and some friends went to investigate a local bridge known for paranormal activity. Despite all experiencing strange occurrences, two friends refused to talk about it and never returned to the location. The speaker found this phenomenon intriguing, as it highlighted the role of individual psyches in shaping reactions to the paranormal. This incident sparked the speaker's interest in paranormal investigations. The bridge, built in the early 1900s, was said to be haunted by a drowned little girl, and the group had heard tales of parents communicating with their child by honking their car horns while crossing the bridge. Despite the group's size and sizeable stature, they all felt an eerie presence during their visit. The two friends who refused to discuss the experience later demonstrated a strong aversion to the location. The speaker was left pondering the psychological factors that led to such disparate reactions.

    • Haunted Bridge EncountersA group of friends experienced unexplained sounds and scratches near a bridge, leaving them puzzled and intrigued by the bridge's mysterious hauntings.

      The bridge, which was a favorite hangout spot for a group of big guys, was believed to be haunted based on their personal experiences. During their visits, they heard unexplained sounds and even encountered scratches on one of their girlfriends. An incident where a friend heard a whisper in his ear and the girlfriend later reported stomach scratches occurred on the same night. Despite the eerie occurrences, the group continued to visit the bridge, but it's unclear if the girlfriend ever returned. These events transpired within a short time frame, leaving the group puzzled and intrigued by the mystery of the haunted bridge.

    • Experiencing Paranormal Activity at Edna BridgeDuring an investigation, the group encountered unexplained scratches, a sense of unease, and an EVP of the bridge's name. The investigator, initially skeptical, was intrigued by the EVP and shared his fascination with EVPs, believing they can capture genuine paranormal activity.

      During a paranormal investigation at Edna Bridge, the group experienced strange occurrences including scratches, a sense of unease, and a clear EVP of the bridge's name. These incidents happened within a few hours, leaving the group trying to make sense of what they had experienced. The investigator, despite not being a believer in ghost hunting, was intrigued by the idea of EVPs and found the recorded word "EDNA" particularly compelling. The group also shared their experiences with Sasquatch encounters. The investigator expressed his fascination with EVPs, believing that sometimes they capture genuine paranormal activity and not just what the mind wants to hear. Despite his reservations about ghost hunting, he was open to sharing any potential evidence with others.

    • Encountering an Unusual Sound in the WoodsWhile investigating a reportedly active Sasquatch site, the speaker and friends heard an inexplicable, high-pitched sound, leaving them baffled and intrigued.

      The speaker's interest in the paranormal and specifically the Sasquatch phenomenon was sparked by listening to podcasts, including "Sasquatch Chronicles," and had a personal encounter while investigating at a reportedly active location. The speaker and his friends had gone to check out the site, but didn't have any significant experiences until they were leaving. As they walked back to retrieve forgotten equipment, they heard an extremely high-pitched, blood-curdling sound coming from the tree line. Despite their experience in the outdoors, they found this sound to be unlike anything they had heard before, leaving them puzzled and intrigued.

    • Encounter with a Mysterious Creature in the WoodsWitnesses heard strange vocalizations and saw a 7-foot tall creature in the woods, leaving them feeling frightened and concerned.

      The witnesses encountered an unexplained event in the woods of Indiana, where they heard strange vocalizations and saw a large, tall creature crossing the road. The event unfolded quickly, with the witnesses hearing a high-pitched scream and making a hasty retreat. They described the creature as being at least 7 feet tall, with enough clearance over their truck to make a significant impression. The creature moved intentionally across the road, giving the witnesses a clear view. The witnesses believe the creature they saw was the same one they heard in the woods before they left, but they cannot be certain. The experience left them feeling frightened and concerned, and they made a quick escape. The event remains unexplained and has left a lasting impression on the witnesses.

    • Encounter may have involved multiple SasquatchWitnesses heard quick succession of vocalizations from different directions, creatures seemed aware of their presence, and behavior exhibited upon leaving area suggests multiple Sasquatch or similar creatures may have been present.

      Based on the discussion, it is likely that there were multiple Sasquatch or similar creatures present during the encounter. The quick succession of vocalizations heard from different directions, the fact that the creatures seemed to be aware of the presence of the witnesses and their belongings, and the behavior exhibited when the witnesses left the area all point towards a group of these creatures. Additionally, the witnesses' experience aligns with common reports of Sasquatch traveling in groups. It's important to remember that these creatures are often elusive and may be more curious than aggressive towards humans. The encounter could have involved one or more creatures trying to investigate the witnesses or their belongings while diverting their attention with vocalizations.

    • Animals can blend into urban surroundings and go unnoticedBecoming attuned to the environment and open-minded can increase chances of encountering elusive creatures, as they are highly intelligent and capable of navigating their domains.

      Animals, particularly those that are elusive like Bigfoot, can expertly blend into their surroundings and go unnoticed by humans, even in urban areas. The speaker shares personal experiences and anecdotes of how these creatures could be closer than we think, and how our dismissive attitudes can prevent us from recognizing their presence. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of understanding the environment and becoming part of it to increase the chances of encountering such creatures. The speaker's perspective is that these creatures are highly intelligent and capable of navigating their domains, and their elusiveness is a deliberate strategy to avoid human interaction.

    • Encounter with a Mysterious CreatureWitness had an encounter with a flesh and blood creature believed to be a Bigfoot or similar, leaving a lasting impression. Paranormal experience added to belief. Friends reported similar sightings.

      The witness in this discussion had a fascinating encounter with an unidentified creature, which they believe could be a Bigfoot or a similar type of creature. The experience left a lasting impression on them and they continue to ponder about it even years later. The witness also shared that they had a paranormal experience, which added to their belief in the existence of such creatures. They described these beings as flesh and blood creatures, but their exact nature remains a mystery. The witness's friends also reported seeing the same creature, adding credibility to the encounter. Despite the passing of time, the experience continues to intrigue and unsettle the witness.

    • An encounter with Bigfoot leaves the friends in awe and deepens their interest in the paranormal.An encounter with a Bigfoot led the friends to a profound realization, leaving them in a state of shock and further fueling their passion for paranormal investigations.

      The encounter with an apparent Bigfoot left the three friends in a state of shock and awe, leaving them speechless for days. They described it as an "underwear changing moment," and despite the initial fear, it drew them further into their interest in the paranormal. Regarding the apparition they saw earlier in their paranormal investigations, they believed it might be a left-behind spirit, as they did not sense any evil or demonic presence. Overall, these experiences left a lasting impact on them, leading them to continue their explorations and share their stories.

    • Engaging with Communities and FansThe speaker encourages fans and churches to communicate their interest and willingness to travel for speaking engagements, looking forward to bringing people together through shared experiences and community engagement.

      The speaker is open to being invited to speak at churches and considering organizing a get-together for fans, but requests interested parties to communicate with their pastors and express their interest and willingness to travel through email. The speaker also shares his confidence in the New England Patriots winning the upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite the potential challenges, he looks forward to the celebration that will follow a Patriots victory. In essence, the speaker values communication and community engagement, and is excited about the prospect of bringing people together through his speaking engagements and shared fandom.

    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

    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!

    659: The Beast Of Bray Road

    659: The Beast Of Bray Road
    In episode 659: The Beast Of Bray Road, Lee Hample's encounters with the Beast of Bray Road and the mysterious phenomena on his property read like a supernatural thriller. He has amassed thousands of pieces of evidence, including pictures of the creature, eerie black and white mists, and even a UFO with an otherworldly being inside. Lee has also experienced multiple instances of missing time, deepening the mysterious lore. He firmly believes in the existence of portals and multiverses, supported by scientific theories and his own photographs of portals and translucent figures. The strange happenings are not isolated to his land; neighbors around Bray Road have also reported similar sightings and experiences, suggesting a peculiar connection to this area. Lee ponders the possibility that these phenomena may be interdimensional or tied to advanced technology beyond our current comprehension. Eyewitness testimonies lend further credibility to his claims, as does the presence of orbs and the peculiar hitchhiker effect. Lee's experiences open a window into a world of advanced technology and interdimensional entities, challenging our understanding of reality and hinting at forces far beyond human knowledge.

    In Episode 461: The Neighborhood Exorcist we are talking with Murray. He has an interesting story as his paranormal encounters didn't start with him but rather with his wife. She started having things happen to her and he just brushed it off mostly until it started affecting his son. That's when Murray started reading books about these phenomena and then decided to put what he was learning into action. After a while he found himself exorcising demons pretty regularly but when complete strangers started coming to his house to ask for him to help them with their demons, Murray knew he was being set apart for something special. Now, he still is actively casting demons out of anyone that comes to him for help and he is recording these demons' names in his notebook.

    In Episode 417: Spiritual Awakening Through the Paranormal, we are joined by Allie, whose many interactions with the paranormal have left her wondering what is really true. If the things she went through are real, then how can God be real? If God is real, how can God love her and allow her to endure her paranormal experiences? Allie started listening to The Confessionals with these questions in mind. But as she listened more and more, she started to have a spiritual awakening that lead her to a deeper understanding of God, reality, and love in the midst of the paranormal.
