Description

In episode 692: Dark Shift, this is the culmination of three years of intense research, with new revelations continuously emerging. The story you're about to hear has evolved significantly since Tony first heard it, and it’s far from over. Our guest today, who has chosen to remain anonymous under the name "Russ," brings us back to the beginning of an extraordinary journey that started in his old apartment. What started as a simple email of some paranormal stories, has now morphed into a web of stories from many different key players. What unfolds is a tale of mysterious beings, strange encounters, and powerful entities operating between realms, all verified accounts from multiple sources. From shadowy figures to entities with malevolent intent, Russ reveals the details of his experiences, including a terrifying encounter that would shift his entire understanding of the world. As you’ll hear, these incidents were not isolated, but part of a larger, intricate web of interactions between our world and other dimensions.

At 63 yo, been thru just about everything, growing up in the 60’s & 70’s, that demonic possession and Satan does exist. The paranormal does exist and witches, warlocks, demonic creatures are real! But guess what, Jesus does exist and has more power in his pinky than any of these entities put together. ❤❤❤

I strongly believe this. I've experienced different portals while sleeping; it's an involuntary phenomenon that's mentally bothersome. I found it deeply unsettling. Upon realizing I was in a portal, I noticed it shared similarities with our world, yet exhibited distinct variations. The people I knew within the portal lived lives that deviated from our natural reality. After leaving a high-rise building, I felt a sense of unease and called my father to pick me up. He arrived, but on the opposite side of the street, where the weather was gloomy, contrasting with the sunny conditions on my side. I saw gargoyles with a weathered, green appearance, similar to the Statue of Liberty, and my father pulled up in a vehicle, but it was actually a demon with red eyes, accompanied by a chauffeur, driving a metallic gold champagne-colored car. The demon said, 'You don’t belong here; you must return to your place of origin.' I replied, 'I’m unsure how I got here, but the only way to escape is by calling upon the blood of Jesus.'

Bizarre story but I believe it!... I have a story where my uncle was into witchcraft. One day all of us kids were playing in the basement. I walked into an unfinished part of the basement where I opened the door and I saw a whole bunch of books sitting there on top of a table and a lot them were very big. Since we were all playing, one of my siblings called out my name and we ended up running out of the room to go chase eachother around the basement. About a couple of hours later , I opened the door again and the stack of books were all gone. There was no way that is humanly possible that it disappeared that quick. As I had an eye on the door the whole time that we were playing. I didn't see anybody walking in there and there was no other way of getting inside that door without anybody seeing them... My intuitions told me that it may have been incantation books that my uncle was using to do witchcraft. He is an evil man who caused a lot of chaos in our family and also mocked our Christianity and our faith in Jesus.

He says his brother has been "actively trying to learn magic to get rid of these things". Has his brother attempted to give his life to Jesus and then use his authority through Jesus Christ to make these evil things leave him alone?

One thing I heard, about how strict their parents were - I think that the parents might have knowledge of magic and it might be in the bloodline or something to do with ancestors and contracts. For two children in one family one to open and one to close portals and how the parents were trying to keeping magic away from them. 🧐 There’s something deeper there perhaps.

Baal is one of the gods, worshipped by the Canaanites and the Phoenicians, that rejected God!

He opened a door to the dark side on his own and continued to go deeper inside. He invited these evil things into his life. And by the words he speaks, he is still there. Woe!!

I was tormented after a quija board situation. Mine was more audible and the demons used music and people to terrorize me. I also loved in haunted cabin on Indian land. Took me years to overcome with Jesus. Thank you for shedding a light on this. A witch in 1960s lived down the hill from my family. I truly think she cursed my family after all the tragedies we experienced on that hill.
