EP: 56 Temple of the Watchers with Dr. Judd Burton

He wasn't asleep. He wasn't dreaming. A swirling black void simply opened in his living room, revealing shadow figures moving through ancient stone corridors on the other side. Rye sat there watching—peering into the abyss like a security camera fixed on another realm.For him, that portal was the culmination of a lifetime of supernatural encounters that started before his first breath, when a priest read him his last rites. Generational witchcraft on one side, miraculous healings on the other—Rye grew up caught between two spiritual inheritances. Shadow people with glowing red eyes, objects moving on their own, automatic writing, paranormal investigation, and eventually a return to faith. His story is a vivid reminder that we were made to live in the overlap—and that the veil is thinner than most of us realize. He shares a testimony that's part warning, part Christ-centered hope, and fully blurry. This is a members-only exclusive Blurry Creatures episode.

Dr. Manny Arango, New Testament scholar and author of "Crushing Chaos," joins us to explore the biblical monsters we've sanitized out of our modern understanding of Scripture. From the dragon in Eden to Leviathan in Job, Manny argues we've fallen victim to the "lullaby effect"—becoming so familiar with these stories that we've missed their jarring, supernatural elements.In this fascinating conversation, Manny reveals why the talking serpent in Eden was likely a dragon, why God describes Leviathan to Job in excruciating detail, and how Jesus' ministry was fundamentally about conquering chaos monsters. But the real twist? Manny argues that humans can become the monsters—that the Bible's greatest concern isn't external beasts, but our own potential to devolve into chaos.From ancient Near Eastern mythology to modern anxiety, this episode explores how biblical monster stories are actually roadmaps for retaining our humanity in a world designed to make us beastly. Manny's insights on chaos versus sin, the nature of humanity, and Jesus as the ultimate dragon-slayer offer a fresh perspective on spiritual warfare and what it means to stay human in a chaotic world.

It started with a witch in Providence. In the 1970s, Joe Cetrone's parents befriended a practicing Satanist — a woman who conducted séances, summoned spirits, and claimed to enter people's dreams. Joe was just four years old. By seven, he'd had his first encounter with something inhuman standing beside his bed on Christmas morning. Decades later, Joe became a paranormal investigator, appearing on Travel Channel's Haunted Case Files and Paranormal Survivor. He investigated the infamous Sallie House. He captured an EVP that made pastors uncomfortable — a demonic growl responding to the name of Jesus Christ.But when his own son was physically attacked by an entity, Joe faced a reckoning. The fame he'd been chasing came at a price he wasn't willing to pay.In this episode, Joe tells the whole story — the parts the TV shows left out, the evidence that convinced him the spiritual realm is real, and why he walked away from ghost hunting to write his memoir, Chasing Shadows. Joe also discusses the UFO-Bigfoot connection, why analog equipment captures things digital can't, what demons look like on camera, and his conversations with Chuck Missler, LA Marzulli, and Russ Dizdar. This is one of the most compelling testimonies we've ever featured. This is a members-only Blurry Creatures exclusive.

Most near-death experiencers see the light. Steve Kang went the other direction."There were demons everywhere. Three-to-four stories tall with capes and weapons. I knew they were in charge of this place called hell."Raised Buddhist, dedicated to becoming a monk, praying eight hours daily—Steve had his spiritual life figured out. Then a laced drug at a party kept him awake for ten straight days. Buddhist artifacts started making poltergeist noises. A voice claiming to be his god offered a deal: kill yourself for a better afterlife. So he did.During surgery after his suicide attempt, Steve landed in a place Buddhists don't believe exists: hell. Crowded. Dark with no sun. A purplish-red wasteland with massive demons and torture cages. And the certain knowledge: "I'm going to be here forever." But that wasn't the end of the story. As he was fighting for his life and experiencing the realities of hell, eight Christian ministers showed up to pray for a Buddhist kid they'd never met.

What lurks beneath our oceans? Can a soul truly be sold? And why do UFOs seem to defy physics itself? In the fourth installment of their Members-Exclusive AMA, Nate and Luke navigate through 60+ submitted questions, cherry-picking the most intriguing mysteries and burning questions about the Blurryverse.They examine testimonies of craft disappearing into mountains and oceans, including military tracking of objects that seamlessly transition from air to water without slowing down. The discussion ventures into theories about underwater bases, the unexplored depths of the ocean, and those mysterious geometric structures visible on Google Earth's ocean floor. The hosts discuss the theological weight of Mount Hermon - the supernatural significance of the location where fallen angels allegedly made their pact - and question whether ancient giants really walked among us, examining claims that the Smithsonian systematically collected and hid oversized human skeletons whenever they were discovered.The conversation weaves through the Book of Enoch's controversial status, why it didn't make the biblical canon despite being quoted in Jude, and what it might reveal about the true nature of our reality. They reflect on how guests like Tina Griffin, Ben Tapper, and Blake Cook all had UFO encounters that weren't even the main focus of their episodes, suggesting these phenomena are far more common than we realize. Between the heavy topics, discover what the shows the hosts are binging, books they are reading, and why they've already been in full Christmas mode with jazz (Nate) playing in the background.

"You're being manipulated, and you don't even know it." Jesse Carey, writer and producer of the new audio docuseries PSYOP hosted by Shawn Ryan, blows the whistle on the psychological operations shaping modern culture. The series examines how psyops function at scale, not just in government black ops but in everyday news, social media, and entertainment. These manipulations exploit how we process information: we're tribal, emotional, confirmation-bias-prone creatures who prefer narratives reinforcing our existing beliefs. Sophisticated operators craft messages that trigger specific responses, divide populations, and make people feel independent while following scripted patterns. From framed news stories to rage-inducing algorithms to normalizing entertainment, psyops constantly shape what we believe is true and acceptable.Jesse breaks down how psyops work and why Christians are particularly vulnerable despite being commanded to test everything and renew our minds. We discuss specific tactics, including how intelligence agencies infiltrated the UFO community to create a false UFO religion, the development of new directed energy weapons with mind control-like abilities, how stories trigger emotions rather than inform, why certain narratives dominate while contradicting evidence disappears, and how "doing your own research" can lead deeper into controlled narratives. Drawing from the PSYOP series research, Jesse emphasizes that recognizing manipulation isn't about paranoia but about developing the discernment Scripture commands. Christians should be the hardest to manipulate, yet we're often the easiest targets because we mistake cultural programming for biblical conviction. This episode pulls back the curtain on the psychological operations, propaganda, and methodology used to control and divide the masses and will help you to recognize manipulation and think critically about what you're told to believe.

Artist Shane Wiggs shares his extraordinary journey through the paranormal and back to faith in this compelling Blurry Creatures members episode. From a childhood marked by supernatural encounters, including Ouija boards, a UFO sighting, and a haunting 3 AM encounter with an amber orb that followed his vehicle through trees, to psychedelic experiences and spiritual warfare, Shane's story touches on a multitude of aspects of the unseen realm.  The conversation touches on everything from the prodigal son parable to the necessity of grace for those whose paths to faith wind through unconventional territory. Shane challenges the modern church's "truncated view of the supernatural," advocating for a more complete understanding that acknowledges the reality of entities, Mount Hermon's significance, and the ongoing spiritual warfare that manifests in paranormal encounters. His final triumph—finding a church home after 40 years of searching—offers hope to fellow travelers in the blurry spaces who've been told their experiences don't fit within acceptable Christian discourse. Shane's story reinforces that the journey back to God is often more complicated and grace-filled than religious communities typically acknowledge. Not a member yet?

Doug Van Dorn returns to explore one of the Bible's most mysterious creatures: Leviathan. What if the dragon isn't just a metaphor, but a multi-layered reality spanning physical creatures, angelic beings, and the very structure of time itself? Join us for a mind-bending journey through ancient serpent worship that will change how you read both Job and Revelation.Moving far beyond the simple "dinosaur in Job" interpretation, Doug reveals how this chaos dragon connects ancient serpent worship, astronomical cycles, and occult symbolism in ways that will reshape your understanding of biblical cosmology. Starting with his discovery of a massive serpent mound in Israel (located exactly on the longitude line of Mount Hermon), Doug reveals how ancient cultures worldwide built identical serpent temples aligned to the constellation Draco—the dragon constellation that "moves the heavens." He explains the shocking mathematical connection between Satan's pentagrams and the 25,920-year cosmic cycle, and why the Church of Satan specifically uses the name "Leviathan" in their symbols.From Mesopotamian chaos monsters to Greek Ouroboros symbols to modern occult practices, this episode exposes a sophisticated ancient religion that viewed the serpent as the controller of time itself—and how Christ's victory at the cross defeats not just sin, but the very chaos that threatens cosmic order.
