Members Preview | 862: Occult Ritual Invites Dogman

<div>

<p>Ricky joins Tony in studio to share a lifetime of disturbing encounters that seem tied to his family’s occult past. He begins with a chilling childhood experience during a blackout in NYC, where something impossible appeared inside his apartment. Years later, his curiosity led him into the woods, where a ritual involving blood brought him face to face with a massive black dogman. As the stories unfold, Tony and Ricky explore whether these encounters were random events or part of a deeper spiritual pattern. This episode dives into dogman encounters, bloodline curses, portals, and the dark forces that may follow families for generations.</p><p>Please <strong>pray</strong> for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.
