RELOADED | 560: Smoky Mountain Monster Hunter

<div>In Episode 560: Smoky Mountain Monster Hunter, we are joined by Brian Jeffery from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@blackmassparanormal">Black Mass Paranormal</a>. He is a local legend hunter as he was born and raised in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. He has heard all the stories growing up and has also had his share of close encounters with the beasts that roam these hills. He comes to the studio to talk about his paranormal investigations and cryptid-hunting adventures such as hunting for the dogman and catching a bigfoot on thermal. We talk about it all on this episode of The Confessionals.<br /><br />Please <strong>pray</strong> for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.
