Description:
In episode 765: The Woods Held Its Secret, Tony is joined by Damon, who recounts a harrowing seven-year stretch of childhood spent on a remote property in Missouri, land he believes was a “window area,” a breach between dimensions. What started with thrown chairs and eerie basement figures escalated into full-blown encounters with entities beyond explanation: a bat-like humanoid with white eyes emerging after he lifted an egg-shaped rock, a giant black beast that stalked his mother from across a lake, and shadows moving across windows where no one stood. Within the house, the atmosphere turned toxic, drawing the family into constant conflict, sleepwalking episodes, and emotional breakdowns that vanished as soon as they moved away.
Tony and Damon dive deep into what might have been feeding off the fear and negative energy within the home. From dreams they still have about the place to theories involving pyramid-shaped UFOs, covert installations, and fallen angel tech, the conversation explores the idea that this wasn’t just a haunted property—it was a supernatural operation. One that didn’t just observe, but manipulated, fed, and possibly marked those who lived there.
