Ricky joins Tony in studio to share a lifetime of disturbing encounters that seem tied to his family’s occult past. He begins with a chilling childhood experience during a blackout in NYC, where something impossible appeared inside his apartment. Years later, his curiosity led him into the woods, where a ritual involving blood brought him face to face with a massive black dogman. As the stories unfold, Tony and Ricky explore whether these encounters were random events or part of a deeper spiritual pattern. This episode dives into dogman encounters, bloodline curses, portals, and the dark forces that may follow families for generations.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
