1:51:31Now PlayingIn this episode, Tony sits down with Brian Jeffrey of @blackmassparanormal to unravel the chilling accounts behind his footage from East Tennessee’s backcountry, a place where the woods hide more than shadows. What began as a routine investigation turned into a desperate flight through the forest as black, humanoid shapes closed in behind him. From dogman-like figures to the unnerving legends of feral people stalking the Appalachian caves, Brian describes encounters that blur the line between human and something far darker. Together, they explore the predator-like clicking sounds echoing through restricted federal land, the possibility of underground civilizations, and the horrifying question: Are these the same beings behind the missing people of East Tennessee?
Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
