From a very young age, Tony Merkel was fascinated by all things strange and mysterious. Growing up in rural Pennsylvania afforded him a childhood spent playing in the woods, where mysteries only tend to deepen. From Bigfoot to extraterrestrials to the Loch Ness monster, Tony always wondered at the unexplained.Â
As an adult with the Internet at his fingertips, Tony was able to further explore his lifelong fascination with the unexplained. With an initial focus on Bigfoot, he sought out the Bigfoot community with podcasts like the Sasquatch Chronicles and local Facebook groups to learn more about the elusive creature. Throughout his search for truths, one thing became certain— he was not alone in his pursuit.
In 2016, Tony originally created The Confessionals on YouTube as a video platform where people could give voice to the strange, extraordinary things they experienced. His YouTube channel attracted worldwide attention, which was followed by a phone call from a leading member of the cryptid community. Seeing value in Tony’s endeavors, they encouraged him to take his work to the next level. After revamping his creation with eyewitness accounts, narrated stories, and expert guests, The Confessionals was officially reborn as a podcast.

Through long-form conversations, we pull out as much detail about one’s experience as possible.
