Blurry Creatures

Blurry Creatures chases down answers for the weird questions and enigmatic creatures that inhabit the fringes between reality, myth, and imagination. Join podcast veterans Nate Henry and Luke Rodgers as they investigate Bigfoot, Ancient Giants, Cryptids, The Nephilim, The Watchers, Ancient Burial Mounds, Forbidden History, Megaliths, Conspiracy Theories, Dogman, Mothman, The UFO Phenomenon, Extraterrestrials, and The Unexplained.

John Burke returns for a deeper dive into the harder questions surrounding near-death experiences. After 40 years of researching over 1,500 cases from every continent and religious background, Burke tackles what people consistently report about hell, spiritual warfare, angelic beings, and the nature of God.This episode explores the uncomfortable testimonies of hellish experiences—from the outer darkness to pits of fire, from victims of spiritual torment to those trapped chasing earthly addictions. Burke discusses why some NDEs involve deception by malevolent beings, the role of tunnel experiences as spiritual protection, and whether there's a "liminal space" where souls can still cry out to God before crossing into eternity.Burke shares stories that don't make it into most Christian discussions: the Muslim imam who saw Jesus with holes in his wrists and woke up at his own burial, the Jewish woman who sat on God's lap while Jesus stood nearby (but they were somehow "one"), the Hindu engineer who saw a lake of fire despite never reading the Bible, and the atheist professor dragged into darkness by deceptive beings claiming to be hospital staff.These aren't ghost stories or hallucinations—many occurred during documented clinical death with flat EEGs and no heartbeat for extended periods. Burke explains the consistent patterns he's discovered: the tunnel as protection, the life review, the welcoming committee of angels, and the terrifying reality that some people initially head toward places of torment before being rescued. We discuss AI deception, astral projection, why time works differently on "the other side," and whether these experiences prove the Bible's descriptions of the afterlife are more literal than we thought.

EP: 365 The Hell Question: What Near-Death Experiences Reveal About Judgment and Eternity with John Burke

What if the Ark of the Covenant isn't lost—it's just hidden in plain sight? Bob Cornuke returns for a second episode, exclusively for members, to share explosive revelations from twenty-two expeditions to Ethiopia, where Orthodox monks guard what they believe is the actual Ark. With unprecedented access to Lake Tana's sacred island and trust earned from four generations of Ark guardians, Bob traces a compelling 2,700-year timeline from Solomon's Temple to modern-day Axum. He presents archaeological evidence, including tent peg holes matching tabernacle dimensions, ancient artifacts, and historical documents that map the Ark's journey through Egypt's Elephantine Island before reaching Ethiopia. With 98% certainty, Bob explains why Ethiopian Christians protect a decaying wooden box they believe houses the Ten Commandments, guarded by a keeper who dedicates his entire life to watching over it, never leaving the building. The conversation shifts to Malta, where Bob tracked down four massive anchors from Paul's shipwreck—discovered by local divers at the exact location and depth described in Acts 27, with odds of coincidence at 10 to the 50th power according to Chuck Missler's calculations. The episode reaches its emotional peak when Bob shares a never-before-told story of a prophetic vision that led him to save a paralyzed Ethiopian man's life, transforming his access to Ethiopia's most guarded spiritual secrets and his understanding of divine purpose.

EP: 364 The Ark of the Covenant: Ethopian Secrets and The Shipwreck of Paul with Bob Cornuke *members trailer

What if everything we've been told about biblical archaeology is wrong? Former SWAT team member and FBI-trained investigator turned archeologist and author, Bob Cornuke, joins us to share his transformation from law enforcement to biblical archaeology. 

After a harrowing shootout that changed his life, Bob partnered with Apollo 15 astronaut Jim Irwin and spent the next four decades following evidence that challenges centuries of tradition. In this explosive conversation, Bob reveals why he believes Mount Sinai is in Saudi Arabia, Noah's Ark rests in Iran (not Turkey), and most controversially—why the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest site, might actually be part of a Roman fortress while the real Temple lies in the City of David. 

Join us for a mind-bending journey through hidden history, archaeological cover-ups, and the dangerous pursuit of biblical truth.

EP: 363 The Temple Conspiracy with Bob Cornuke

Tasha shares her deeply personal account of encountering Men in Black during her first psychiatric hospitalization in 2012. As an 18-year-old foster youth experiencing her first psychotic break at UC Berkeley, she found herself restrained on a hospital gurney—where two men in black suits with sunglasses appeared, repeatedly telling her "we're here to make you get better."This episode navigates challenging territory at the intersection of mental health, trauma, and unexplained phenomena. Tasha, now holding a master's degree and advocating for foster youth, reflects on her journey with a schizophrenia diagnosis while maintaining that her Men in Black encounter was real—particularly because she made physical contact, describing their skin as "waxy and cold," matching historical descriptions from Men in Black reports.We explore difficult questions: Can extreme fear or trauma create frequencies that attract unexplained visitors? Do some individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia have heightened spiritual perception alongside genuine mental health struggles? Why do Men in Black encounters sometimes occur without any reported UFO activity? Tasha discusses her healing journey through faith, the role of trauma in mental health, alternative treatments including dietary interventions, and why she believes both psychological and spiritual dimensions exist in her experience.The conversation addresses the complexity of discernment for those with mental health diagnoses, the importance of proper support systems, and how Tasha has transformed her painful past into advocacy work for foster youth. She candidly discusses the challenges of living with schizophrenia while maintaining spiritual awareness, the danger of dismissing all supernatural experiences as hallucinations, and the equal danger of attributing everything to the spiritual realm.Content Note: This episode contains discussion of mental health conditions, childhood trauma, and psychiatric hospitalization. Tasha's story represents her personal experience and perspective. We acknowledge the complexity of distinguishing between genuine supernatural encounters and symptoms of mental health conditions, and encourage anyone struggling with similar experiences to seek professional medical and spiritual guidance.

EP: 362 'I Met the Men in Black': Mental Health, Trauma, and an Unexplained Encounter *members teaser

In this episode of Blurry Creatures, Joe Anderson shares his raw and unfiltered testimony of encountering the supernatural, battling spiritual darkness, and finding freedom in Jesus. From childhood experiences and open doors to demonic oppression, to navigating family struggles and ministry under heavy spiritual attack, Joe’s story sheds light on the reality of spiritual warfare and deliverance.

Exposure to occult practices and horror media can unknowingly open dangerous spiritual doors, a reality Joe Anderson experienced firsthand through encounters with demonic forces and even poltergeist activity. His journey led him to seek guidance from priests and exorcists, who provided powerful insights on confronting principalities and the unseen battles that rage around us. Through these struggles, Joe discovered the essential role of faith, prayer, and the support of a strong spiritual community in deliverance. Most importantly, his testimony highlights how the body of Christ—across all denominations—plays a vital part in standing united against darkness and overcoming spiritual warfare.

EP: 361 The Exorcism That Failed: A Pastor’s Fight for His Adopted Son | Joe Anderson

Ali Siadatan returns with his most controversial theory yet: that Genesis contains not one, but two distinct creation narratives involving different types of humans. Drawing from Hebrew linguistics and ancient Near Eastern context, Ali argues that the language of Genesis reveals that the word "Elohim" (traditionally translated as "God") is Divine Council language. In this thought-provoking episode, Ali presents his theory that the creation story involves two distinct events: first, the Elohim (divine council) creating humans in their collective image who roam the earth, followed by Yahweh Elohim creating Adam specifically for Eden's garden. This interpretation attempts to solve puzzles like where Cain's wife came from, why he feared other people, and how agriculture suddenly appeared in the archaeological record.From his research into ancient gods and civilizations to his groundbreaking documentary linking UFOs to biblical narratives, Ali's journey challenges both literalist and progressive interpretations of Scripture. Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, his linguistic analysis and pattern recognition raise fascinating questions about what the text actually says versus what tradition teaches.

EP: 360 The Two Creations: Elohim, Pre-Adamites, and Hidden Biblical Narratives with Ali Siadatan

Pastor Gunter Akridge's journey began with a medical crisis that became a spiritual battleground.His newborn daughter faced a life-threatening intestinal condition with no medical solution in sight. Then came the dream: a massive constrictor snake threatening his child, confronted by an otherworldly figure in glowing chainmail who proclaimed victory. Nine months later, doctors confirmed what seemed impossible—complete healing with no medical explanation.But this miraculous healing was just the beginning. Gunter shares prophetic dreams about impending deaths that came true, family UFO sightings, and how these experiences forced him to become what he calls a "blurry pastor"—someone willing to address the supernatural from the pulpit. His story reveals the tension many faith leaders face between embracing unexplained phenomena and maintaining theological respectability.
