Desert Portal Death Cult

In this episode, we are joined by James. He moved to Hollywood recently to help his career in the film industry, as he was previously working out of Atlanta. One night, he and his friend went out to a bar where they met a guy who wanted to take them to another place to drink. Once they arrived, James' friend was so weirded out by the people he saw going in that he bailed and left James alone with his new acquaintance. From there, James was talked into going to another party out in the desert in a place called Joshua Tree outside of Los Angeles. James wound up spending over 24 hours at this location, where he saw out-of-this-world things. There were vampires, cloaked figures around pentagrams, flying people, and portals opening up, and it all seemed to be geared toward the guest of honor, James himself. As the danger rose, James found himself running for his life through the desert to escape these people who seemed to be grooming him to be a sacrifice that night in the desert. This is one of the wildest stories we have ever had on The Confessionals, and James tells a riveting story that could be chalked up as a tall tale by many, but he comes with the receipts that point to this event actually happening to him.
