582: Wendigo Woods

<div>In Episode 582: Wendigo Woods we jump into a night of terror in the Wisconsin wilderness. Jon, our guest, recounts a harrowing night spent camping with his brother and friends near their parents' home. As darkness cloaked the forest, they found themselves ensnared in an otherworldly encounter, face to face with glowing white eyes believed to be the dreaded Wendigo, a creature steeped in Native American legend. Stranded without flashlights or weapons, their desperate attempts to drive the entity away led to a series of unsettling events that defy explanation.<br /><br />Jon's gripping narrative unfolds with vivid details, sharing their heart-pounding experience, the puzzling stick structures discovered the following morning, and the unsettling encounters witnessed by their youngest family member back at their house that same fateful night. Today we take you on a journey into the mysterious and supernatural, as we explore a dark presence lurking within the depths of the Wisconsin woods.<br /><br />In the Overtime segment, Jon shares another of his extraordinary life experiences, this time focusing on a downtown Milwaukee building that became the epicenter of their urban exploration adventures. With his brother AJ by his side, they embarked on what seemed like the perfect exploration mission, an old, abandoned building void of recent human presence. Yet, from the moment they entered the sole entryway, a sense of unease gripped Jon. As they ascended through the building's interior, a realization set in – something was profoundly amiss. Jon takes us on this mind-bending journey, as he vividly describes a possible accidental foray into another realm, where they found themselves peering through a window at the very building they thought they had entered. This Overtime will surely leave you with more questions than answers.<br /><br /><strong>The Confessionals Members App:</strong><br />Apple Store: <a href="https://apple.co/3UxhPrh">https://apple.co/3UxhPrh</a><br />Google Play: <a href="https://bit.ly/43mk8kZ">https://bit.ly/43mk8kZ</a><br /><br /><strong>Become a member for AD FREE listening and EXTRA shows:</strong> <a href="https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/join">theconfessionalspodcast.com/join</a><br /><br /><strong>Come Meet Tony:<br />LIVE SHOW in Gatlinburg, TN!<br />Tickets: </strong><a href="https://bit.ly/3IC4Ikx">https://bit.ly/3IC4Ikx</a><br /><br /><strong>Watch Expedition Dogman:</strong><a href="https://bit.ly/3CE6Kg0"> https://bit.ly/3CE6Kg0</a><br /><br /><strong>SPONSORS</strong><br />This episode is brought to you by <strong>BetterHelp</strong>.
