    Paralyzed by fear, he knew something monstrous was just beyond the light. In this bone-chilling episode, Charlie relives a terrifying encounter with a massive, shadowy figure while working alone on an oil rig in East Texas. But that’s only the beginning. He describes chilling encounters with a ghostly Native figure, a seductive fire spirit, and the overwhelming sense that something ancient was hiding just out of sight. As he and Tony connect the dots through scripture, Nephilim lore, and spiritual warfare, this story becomes more than a cryptid encounter—it’s a warning.

    Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!

    766: Born In A Supernatural Warzone
    Jun 17 2025
    In this gripping episode, Bo Kennedy returns to share the spiritual warfare that’s not just theory—but personal. From his daughter’s chilling attempts to summon Lilith, to his own battles with depression, addiction, and generational darkness, Bo opens up about the supernatural forces that tore through his family and nearly took him out. What started as podcasting strange stories soon became a frontline ministry of deliverance, exorcism, and uncovering the real enemy behind mental illness and trauma. With raw honesty and no sugarcoating, Bo reveals how spiritual warfare, self-deliverance, and the authority of Christ became his only weapons in a fight most Christians don’t even know they’re in.

    Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!

    RELOADED | 510: Dogman's Interdimensional Portals
    Jun 16 2025
    Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference! If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890 Description: In Episode 510: Dogman Interdimensional Portals, we are joined by Hunter. I believe Hunter holds a key to better understanding the depths of the strange topics we cover on this show. Hunter has dreams that he says are more real than the "waking world." During one of these dream experiences, he encountered a dogman that was targeting his family. When he stepped in-between them, the beast turned its attention to Hunter and started to rip him apart. When Hunter woke up, he was sitting up in his bed, but had scratches on his back and handprint bruises on his shoulder. One could say the dream was so vivid Hunter injured himself while sleeping, and Hunter would have been happy to believe the same thing. But he can no longer entertain that theory because one day, shortly after the dream, he was out in the woods with his son when the same dogman beast revealed itself to them and chased them through the forest. How can Hunter's dream beast appear on this side of reality? Are dreams more than what we are traditionally taught they are? Is the human mind a gateway or portal to a whole other realm that is as real as you and me?

    Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference! If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890 Description: In episode 765: The Woods Held Its Secret, Tony is joined by Damon, who recounts a harrowing seven-year stretch of childhood spent on a remote property in Missouri, land he believes was a “window area,” a breach between dimensions. What started with thrown chairs and eerie basement figures escalated into full-blown encounters with entities beyond explanation: a bat-like humanoid with white eyes emerging after he lifted an egg-shaped rock, a giant black beast that stalked his mother from across a lake, and shadows moving across windows where no one stood. Within the house, the atmosphere turned toxic, drawing the family into constant conflict, sleepwalking episodes, and emotional breakdowns that vanished as soon as they moved away. Tony and Damon dive deep into what might have been feeding off the fear and negative energy within the home. From dreams they still have about the place to theories involving pyramid-shaped UFOs, covert installations, and fallen angel tech, the conversation explores the idea that this wasn’t just a haunted property—it was a supernatural operation. One that didn’t just observe, but manipulated, fed, and possibly marked those who lived there.

If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890 Description: In episode 764: Dream Hacking Agenda, Tony is joined by returning guest Vicki Joy Anderson to expose a chilling truth most aren’t ready to hear: your mind is no longer off-limits. What begins as a conversation about lucid dreaming and sleep technology quickly evolves into a high-stakes discussion on AI, Silicon Valley’s hidden agendas, and the ancient entities possibly feeding humanity its darkest innovations. From Silicon Valley elites receiving visions from shadow realms to the rollout of the Halo Headband—designed not for entertainment but to manipulate and prolong your lucid dreams—Tony and Vicki dig deep into the idea of “noetic sovereignty,” or your right to control your own thoughts. They uncover how new tech like Prophetic’s dream devices and REMspace’s real-time lucid dream communication are laying the groundwork for digital possession, mind mining, and the loss of free will—one click of “I agree” at a time.

If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890 Description: In episode 763: They Escaped Ouija's Dark Grip, Tony is joined by Travis, a man whose teenage curiosity led him into a nightmare that wouldn’t end. What began as a harmless game with friends escalated into terrifying encounters with a spirit named "Non"—a presence that etched its name into their notebooks, manipulated the physical world around them, and unleashed chaos with every session. Travis recounts nights filled with static-blasting speakers, chairs moving on their own, and birds and wind responding to rituals performed in eerie sync. But the scariest moment came when the board claimed it had possessed one of them—and demanded a cross before midnight to save his soul. This episode tracks Travis’s descent into spiritual oppression, addiction, and darkness—and the powerful moment of self-deliverance when he encountered the real authority of Christ. From face-to-face encounters with a grinning hat man to a whirlwind of invisible entities leaving his body, Travis shares a raw, redemptive journey that proves the supernatural is real—and so is the victory found in Jesus.

If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890 Description: In episode 762: Holy Spirit: God Within You, Tony is joined by author and evangelist David Diga Hernandez, whose life has been shaped by the Holy Spirit. From shadow figures and whispered voices to a warlock in his family line, David shares how generational darkness targeted him from childhood. But it was a hotel room prayer at age 11 that shattered the grip of fear and introduced him to the overwhelming presence of Jesus. What followed was a journey through spiritual deserts, battles with striving, and the discovery that the Holy Spirit isn’t earned—He abides. Tony and David dive into the layers of deliverance, the deception of performance-based faith, and why Gen Z is being pulled between witchcraft and revival. This conversation cuts to the heart of spiritual warfare and reveals how true freedom comes not from formulas, but from surrender.
