The Confessionals

Matt comes on the show to share about his time as a child living in his mother's haunted house. As time went on he experienced your typical haunting noises to seeing poltergeist activity happen more than one would like. But it all culminated to an experience that was unexpected and petrifying when an unnatural head appeared outside of his room and showed him more attention than he could handle.

In episode 723: Aliens, Bigfoot, and Secrets Beneath The Lake, Matt takes us deep into the shadowed heart of California’s wilderness, where the line between reality and myth blurs. A creature’s arm tears through the brush, a canoe is lifted by something ancient beneath the water, and local lore whispers of portals and supernatural guardians. Matt’s stories don’t just stem from his own encounters, they’re woven into a family legacy of UFO sightings, abductions, and dark mysteries hidden in plain sight. As the wilderness closes in, the question isn’t what’s real, but whether you’re ready to believe it.
