    In episode 648: Red Portal Book, Hunter shares an incredible story that will have you on the edge of your seat. While exploring an abandoned house, Hunter and his friends stumble upon a hidden room teeming with ancient books. Their discovery of a mysterious red book marked by a four-leaf clover, hidden within the pages, unleashes a sinister sequence: images of a young girl stalked by a shadowy figure in a meadow fill its pages, igniting a palpable dread. If that were all, it would still be an eeire experience, however there was so much more that happened after they obtained the book, that it left them clearly shaken. Convinced the malevolent force from the book now haunts them, the group of friends grapple with the chilling possibility that the room was a gateway to another dimension, now perhaps accessible only through remnants of its existence. They consider seeking out the property's past owners for clues, all the while questioning the reality of interdimensional travel.

    647: Territory Of The Beast
    Apr 30 2024
    In episode 647: Territory Of The Beast, Wes Germer from Sasquatch Chronicles, and Tony begin the show with a discussion on 'Sasquatch and the Missing Man', the new Merkel Media documentary, which centers around Wes' bone chilling story. They explore hair-raising encounters with creatures like Bigfoot and Dogman, particularly a thrilling story from Provo, Utah. They speculate on the interdimensional origins of these beings, connecting the dots with global folklore and the mysterious metallic sounds often reported during sightings. They also navigate the broader implications of UFO phenomena, the intersection of spirituality with cryptid research, and the role of dreams in deciphering these mysterious encounters.

Loved this Episode

one of my favourite episodes. What Tony said about passing his kids rooms and praying for them, asking spirits to stay away from them. My dad used to do this when i was a kid as well. He has his third eye open and in our culture, we call it walking between 2 worlds so he can see entities and has clairvoyant dreams.

The Best Paranormal Podcast Out There!

I found out about The Confessionals through Sasquatch Chronicles. I figured that if Wes Germer from SC said his show was good that I'd give it a try, well...now I'm a full blown Confessionals addict! As far as I'm concerned Tony Merkel is the best host out there and the Confessionals is the best paranormal podcast, period.

Do not listen!

This guy is just full of crap. Very boring to listen. It all started good but then he got money hungry and started charging to listen to “better episodes” that are not even good anyways.
