Askia sits down with Jake & Albert of Austin Seance to talk a decade of real seances, a voodoo encounter in Haiti involving a severed human head, a full-blown possession at a haunted attraction, and a phantom wolf that showed up in Jake's bedroom a week later. No theatrics, no stage magic, just two facilitators who've seen some genuinely unsettling stuff.

Jake and Albert don't call themselves mediums, they call themselves facilitators. Their whole philosophy is about creating a structured, historical, and sincere environment where the sitters tap into their own intuitive energy. Over ten years, they've watched skeptics bolt from rooms in panic, witnessed participants drop to the floor during apparent possessions, documented a mysterious noise-canceling effect during rituals, and experienced a simultaneous physical 'blast' that hit both of them in the chest at the same moment.
Jake also pulls back the curtain on a wild chapter from his journalism career: a trip to Haiti during the 1990 coup where he ended up face-to-face with what appeared to be a voodoo curse ritual, complete with a severed human head in a hole in the ground. Albert walks through his history with sleep paralysis, demonic silhouettes, and the time he screamed at his roommate thinking he was a demon.
They also cover the ethics of seances, why they refuse to exploit grief, how to spot a fraudulent show, the real history behind spoon bending, and why spiritualism was once arm-in-arm with women's suffrage and abolition.

Askia sits down with Maverick Approach, a conspiracy "realist" and former Hollywood child actor who's seen things most people couldn't dream up. From watching Diddy serve spiked drinks at an $80M Beverly Hills mansion to breaking down how your birth certificate is literally a maritime cargo manifest, this episode goes places.

Growing up as a child actor in Hollywood, Maverick got a front-row seat to an industry most people only see from the outside. Underage drug use, inappropriate relationships, elite parties. He witnessed it early and it woke him up fast.
In this episode, Maverick breaks down the hidden architecture of control hiding in plain sight: the etymology of the word 'government' (spoiler: it literally means mind control), how spelling is actually spell-casting, why your school was modeled after a Prussian military prison, and how the publisher of your childhood textbooks was owned by the father of Ghislaine Maxwell.
He goes deeper: flat earth vs. round earth? Neither. Try holographic simulation, backed by declassified CIA Gateway Process documents and a string theorist who found error-correcting computer code embedded in the equations of the universe.
Then there's the moon (hollow and artificial), NASA (the Hebrew word for 'to deceive'), the Cold War heart attack gun that left zero forensic trace, Directed Energy Weapons deployed in Venezuela, Project Blue Beam's fake alien invasion playbook, $21 trillion missing from government books, and underground civilizations being built right now for the ultra-elite.

Askia and professional witch Celeste break down shared dream experiments, government psychic programs, and the original terrifying lore behind fairies. They dig into MallWorld, a hyper-specific 1980s shopping mall thousands of people across the globe claim to dream about, and how Celeste ran a 1,000-person psychic experiment to test it. Plus: CIA psyops, the GATE program conspiracy, lucid dreaming herbs, and why you should never say 'thank you' to a fairy.

Celeste's viral TikTok lucid dreaming experiments kicked off 2026 with a bang: over 1,000 people tried to psychically meet inside Mall World on the same night using a meditation guide, a sigil, and the symbol of moths and butterflies. The results? Hard to explain away.
From there, the conversation goes deep: declassified CIA programs like Project Stargate and MK Ultra, the GATE school program conspiracy (pink liquid, audio tone tests, and psychically implanted dream spaces), and the science behind why your brain invents disgusting bathrooms in your sleep.
Celeste also breaks down how to actually achieve lucid dreaming. Askia opens up about years of childhood nightmares, and Celeste shares why just talking about your dreams out loud might make them stop.
The back half goes full folklore: fairies aren't cute. Original European and Irish fairy lore describes them as dangerous, amoral beings, and spirits of the dead, land entities, or ancient Celtic royalty. Celeste ties fairy sightings to UFO encounters and angelic visitations, then closes with strict rules of engagement: if you see one, pretend you didn't.

Askia sits down with witch and returning guest Celeste Mott live from New Orleans. They expose a real vampire cult that tried to get this episode taken down, dive into cursed candles, spirits wearing masks, shotgun house ghosts, and the vampiric energy grid of the French Quarter. Then they get brutally honest about mental illness, self-harm, addiction, and the line between paranormal experiences and spiritual psychosis.

The cult is real. The cult is culting. After Celeste's first appearance on the show, members of her former vampire cult contacted Askia demanding the episode come down. Instead of folding, Askia doubled down and brought Celeste back for round two.
This episode goes deep. Celeste breaks down how she builds a spirit court, what happened when she slapped a tree during a solstice ritual and found the letter 'A' carved in bark, and why spirits wear masks to manipulate practitioners. She walks through two of the most concrete paranormal encounters she's ever had: a full-body apparition witnessed by two people simultaneously, and a witch candle she bought locally that invited a skeletal shadow entity AND a ghost into her bedroom the same night.
Then it gets personal. Celeste opens up about the fine line between schizophrenia and spiritual psychosis and how the vampiric energy of the French Quarter can keep you addicted. The episode wraps with major red flags for identifying cults and high-control groups, and a teaser on Celeste's viral TikTok lucid dreaming experiments inside a shared dreamscape called Mall World. STAY TUNED FOR PART 2, NEXT WEEK!

Maven Lore has been in the Vampire Community since the 90s, long before it was an aesthetic. He coined the term "fangsmith" in 1998, ran blood raves with stage blood, witnessed actual wood-stake attacks from self-proclaimed vampire hunters, and spent 17 years inside a cult he had to claw his way out of. Pixie brings her own harrowing story of escaping a predatory religious group that targeted her family after her father's death.
Together, they dismantle Hollywood vampire mythology, explain why New Orleans sits at a spiritual crossroads, and make a case for why being weird is not only okay, it's worth protecting. This episode covers vampire folklore across global cultures, the very real dangers of cheap permanent fangs, how cult behavior sneaks up on even the most skeptical people, and why the Vampire Court of New Orleans was structured like a town hall, not a throne room.

Lilith shares chilling personal stories including telepathic voices in the Pine Barrens, a ghost knocking a cheater's phone into a toilet, firewalking on 1300-degree coals, and the dark truth about fairies and changelings. Plus, practical tips on spiritual protection and why asking for the wrong thing might cost you everything.

She also goes full paranormal: a haunted Brooklyn basement, a spirit named Peter, zombie origin stories from Haiti, and real vampires walking the streets of New Orleans. Lilith's path isn't a hobby. It's a calling with a cost.
Topics covered: Voodoo vs. witchcraft, spirit attachments, ancestral veneration, initiation, possession, fairies and changelings, spiritual protection, Pine Barrens, zombies, vampires, Hollywood vs. reality, and more.

Rose Sinister is a professional vampire tour guide in the French Quarter, author of 'This Crimson Debt,' and host of the Rose Sinister: Vampires podcast. In this episode, she breaks down the Eastern European origins of vampire hysteria in the 1730s, explains why New Orleans became the vampire capital of America, and gets into the deeply queer roots of vampire literature from 'Carmilla' to Anne Rice's Castro-district-inspired work. She also calls out the tourist behavior happening on cemetery graves (you know who you are).
This isn't your basic vampire explainer. Rose brings the receipts: historical, folkloric, and personal. And yes, she'll tell you why you should never leave a crystal ball uncovered. "Vampires are us. They reflect our fears and our dark desires."

Sen Elias doesn't sugarcoat anything. From breaking down the difference between Hoodoo and witchcraft, to describing what possession actually looks like in person, this episode pulls back the curtain on a world most people only think they understand.
Elias traces his Hoodoo lineage, explains why New Orleans is a living spirit that 'needs to eat,' and lays out the five signs you might be cursed. He also gets into the ethics of placing curses, the chilling reality of exorcisms, and why your ancestors outrank everything when you're in danger. The episode closes with a gut-punch: the cost of this path is normality. Ignorance is bliss, and he can't go back.

Dona Strohbehn has been seeing, hearing, and feeling things since she was two years old. What started as 'imaginary friends' her parents dismissed turned into a 40-year career bridging clinical mental health therapy with paranormal investigation. She holds a Master's in therapy, specializes in trauma and PTSD caused by anomalous events, and uses real clinical tools to separate a spiritual experience from a psychotic break.
This episode goes deep. Dona breaks down why mainstream mental health practitioners are quick to slap a psychosis label on paranormal experiences without asking a single follow-up question. She talks about her Pagan practice, Celtic protective magic, and why she keeps Archangel Michael on speed dial during channeling sessions. She recounts being locked in a bathroom at the Lizzie Borden house, channeling three separate entities at Waverly Hills Sanatorium, and getting physically attacked at the Tremont House in Galveston by a shadow person.
If you've ever had something happen in your home you couldn't explain, this one hits different. Dona's message is clear: your experience is real, your experience is valid, and there is no holy water required. "If your therapist is close-minded, find a new freaking therapist."

Lindsey has been crawling through abandoned asylums since she was a teenage, and she hasn't stopped since. Now she investigates some of the most notorious haunted locations in the country, alone, with a camera and zero backup. In this episode, she breaks down what it's actually like to sleep in haunted buildings, why she gets better results solo, and the one time she threw her entire camera setup and ran out of the haunted Hill House in a full panic.
She also gets into the haunted doll that caused chanting and cost her $666 in car repairs, and the room key from Hotel Apache that brought home a spirit from the 1800s. On top of the ghost stuff, Askia and Lindsey get into self-defense, personal safety as a female investigator, shamanism, crystals, psychic mediums, interdimensional theory, and Lindsey's dream of making it to the Doll Island in Mexico.

Highlights include a marine confessing alien weapon secrets during a ride-share and Dayvid waking up with actual gills after nearly dying.

Dayvid joins Askia to unpack decades of paranormal obsession, starting with a childhood near a naval air station and a haunted rental house cursed by a gypsy, complete with a La Lechuza sighting by his dad. From there, the conversation spirals into simulation theory, DMT encounters, Project Blue Beam false flag conspiracies, a heart attack gun used on journalists, and Betty & Barney Hill allegedly abducted by humans pretending to be aliens.
They get into Bigfoot being interdimensional slave labor, astral projection warnings, psychics trapped on the moon, and deja vu as proof of alternate lives. Dayvid also opens up about surviving an apartment fire, waking up with unexplained gills, and how a brush with death completely rewired how he moves through the world. Raw, strange, funny, and oddly motivating.

Io Locke doesn't worship the devil, they don't even believe in one. What they do believe in: empathy, science, personal sovereignty, and making the world better for everyone. This episode digs into the real story behind The Satanic Temple, from its origins fighting abortion bans in Texas to running food drives and menstrual product collections under the name "Menstruating with Satan."
Io walks through the difference between theistic and non-theistic Satanism, why the organization's name is intentionally provocative, and what the Baphomet statue is actually about. If you've ever been curious, or just wanted to argue at Thanksgiving, this one's required listening.

Joseph Laycock is a religious studies professor that gets roughly two calls a month from people convinced they're possessed (he stays out of it, because he's not a mental health professional, and he's definitely not an exorcist). This episode goes deep on the etymology of the word "demon," the Nephilim, books that got cut from the Bible, and why "The Exorcist" triggered a wave of real exorcism requests that still hasn't stopped.

Brandon Hodge is the real deal. With thousands of artifacts and hundreds of Ouija boards, he has dedicated his life to understanding why humans have always tried to talk to the dead.
This episode covers the birth of American spiritualism in 1848, the Fox Sisters' infamous spirit rappings, how table tipping became a nationwide craze, the planchette's Parisian origins, and why the Ouija board, introduced in 1890, wasn't even considered special at the time. We also get into the demonization of these tools, what Hollywood got dead wrong, and why Brandon still says everyone should try a Ouija board at least once.

David isn't your typical ghost tour guide. He's a Marine Corps veteran, Army chaplain, ultramarathoner, and a guy who genuinely felt the presence of LBJ in a hotel lobby. This episode covers the dark corners of human nature — from Austin's first serial killer case (the Servant Girl Annihilator) and early criminal profiling, to moral injury in the military, the insanity defense, and why the scariest thing on earth isn't a monster — it's a person.
They get into the concept of ghosts as grief, what happens when trauma goes unbelieved, modern-day vampires (yes, really), and what David saw when he nearly died in a spinning helicopter over Baghdad. Plus — his 11-year-old son won't go in one room of their house. Make of that what you will. If you're into horror, history, the paranormal, military stories, or just want to hear someone talk honestly about war, death, and the afterlife — this episode delivers.

Pastor Ramon Perez has performed exorcisms, spoken directly to demons, and witnessed things most people only see in horror movies — and he's here to talk about all of it. From a Gulf War vet who claims he brought back a demon from Iraq, to a man raised from the dead after experiencing hell firsthand, this episode goes places most podcasts won't.

Pastor Ramon Perez doesn't flinch. He's spent years doing deliverances — not just casting out demons, but tracking down the ROOT cause of demonic influence. He breaks down why most exorcisms fail (and actually make things worse), how Satan's voice sounds exactly like your own inner monologue, and why he once had to facilitate peace between the spirit of a black slave and a white slave owner — both living inside the same man.
If that doesn't already have you leaning forward, he also gets into a woman who was literally a bride of Satan with the power to astral project into other people, demonic portals opened by occult movies, alien encounters in El Paso, interdimensional beings, and a conspiracy theory connecting dinosaur bones to the Nephilim.
This is spiritual warfare, horror stories, and raw theology colliding in real time. Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, Pastor Ramon's response is simple: "I'd rather be popular with God than with man."

The HORRORble Podcast returns to haunted Galveston with Spooky Gin for Part 2, diving deeper into the island's dark history, vampire encounters, and supernatural phenomena. Askia "The Boogeyman" Booker explores Gin's viral TikTok fame, disturbing paranormal experiences, and why Galveston's tragic past makes it a hotspot for the undead.
In this episode, Spooky Gin reveals the grim aftermath of Galveston's devastating storm, where bodies were burned on funeral pyres causing human ash to rain down on survivors. She shares her unsettling vampire encounter in New Orleans that left her with missing time and memory gaps, explains why she avoids giving tours during Mardi Gras due to increased vampire activity, and details her frightening experiences with mirror magic and haunted objects.
The conversation takes fascinating turns through discussions of vampire lore (are they the same as serial killers?), the dangers of Ouija boards, and a cursed t-shirt from Zak Bagans' museum that brought misfortune to everyone who touched it. Gin also shares the tragic story of Elizabeth Percival and the mysterious tale of pirate Jean Lafitte, who some believe still roams between New Orleans and Galveston as a vampire.
