    Members Preview | 654: The Kinderhook Bigfoot
    May 23 2024
    In episode 654: The Kinderhook Bigfoot, Audrey and Russell recount spine-chilling encounters with Bigfoot in upstate New York. Audrey vividly remembers seeing the creature near her farmhouse as a child, while Russell had a harrowing close-up experience by a barn. These encounters, occurring just miles apart in the early 1980s, shattered their perceptions of reality and left them with lingering fear. They reveal the skepticism and disbelief they faced from their families and others, even as nearby sightings lent credibility to their stories. Both discuss the creature's imposing physical traits and the pervasive fear that keeps Russell from ever returning to the woods in search of Bigfoot.

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.
