In September 1952, something strange landed in the hills of Braxton County, West Virginia. It wasn’t a meteor. It wasn’t a barn owl. It was something else— something tall, mechanical, and not quite alive. In this episode, we dig deep into one of the most iconic cryptid cases in American history: the Flatwoods Monster. From Audrey Harper’s chilling encounter on a twilight walk to the mass sighting that followed—complete with UFOs, military involvement, and a creature that glided like death itself—we piece together the story, the aftermath, and the theories.
But this isn’t just about lights in the sky. We explore the deeper interpretations offered by Jacques Vallée and John Keel—visions of interdimensional beings, ultraterrestrials, and spiritual deception wrapped in glowing skin. What if the Flatwoods Monster wasn’t a visitor from space… but a manifestation from somewhere far closer—and far darker? Tap in for Appalachian high strangeness, spiritual discernment, and a gospel-centered take on one of the weirdest UFO stories this side of Roswell.

Hello Toasters! I hope you're getting ready for season 2 launching on January 7th. Until then, here's something to hold you over.I told you last week in the final episode of season 1 that I was going to try and have a surprise for you before Christmas and I was able to get it ready.
Very few of you know that my ministry background didn’t start with preaching but with music, hopefully it doesn’t shock too many of you what kind…
It took a major backseat after my ordination, about a decade, but recently I tried to dust off the skills and merge them with what we do here on the show, and package it together for ya.
The instrumental was produced by Trunxks, you can find him on YouTube and social media under Trunxks beatz.
The song is called “Odyssey of the Mind”It’s inspired by both Homer’s Odyssey but with splashes of Pilgrim’s progress by John Bunyan
For the honor of the Prince of Peace our hero sets out on a journey through multiple treacherous environments to slay 3 ancient monsters.
The Tentacled Beast of Lazy can be found in the Pools of Stagnation.A Demonic host of fear is uncovered in the Forest of Uncertainty.And atop the highest peak in the land is the gold armored Titan named Pride who unsurprisingly has named the mountain after himself.Only with the aid of the prince of peace will our hero overcome these obstacles.

Episode 12 of The Dancing Toaster concludes the harrowing case of Anneliese Michel, picking up where the previous episode left off. This installment examines the aftermath of her death, the controversial trial of her parents and priests, and the theological clash between faith, medicine, and supernatural belief. But it doesn’t stop there—this episode also delivers a sweeping critique of Roman Catholic theology, especially practices surrounding exorcism, Marian devotion, and the veneration of saints. It challenges the biblical legitimacy of the Rituale Romanum, relics, and the elevation of Mary as Queen of Heaven, tracing many of these traditions back to ancient paganism. With scripture-heavy rebuttals and unflinching analysis, it calls listeners to return to the sufficiency of Christ alone. This episode is not only the season finale—it’s a bold, controversial, and deeply personal exploration of spiritual truth, deception, and what real deliverance should look like.

Episode 11 of The Dancing Toaster delves into one of the most disturbing and controversial exorcism cases in modern history: the possession and death of Anneliese Michel. The inspiration behind The Exorcism of Emily Rose, her story began with seizures and shadowy hallucinations and spiraled into a years-long ordeal filled with terrifying visions, spiritual torment, and a series of exorcisms that ultimately ended in tragedy. This episode covers it all—from her early symptoms and conflicting medical diagnoses to the dramatic escalation of supernatural events, including demonic voices, unnatural strength, and grotesque behaviors. Drawing from detailed accounts, official exorcism recordings, and diary entries allegedly inspired by visions of the Virgin Mary, the episode raises haunting questions: was Anneliese mentally ill, or was she possessed by something darker? It's a heart-wrenching, chilling examination of faith, suffering, and the terrifying space in between.

Episode 10 of The Dancing Toaster uncovers two chilling accounts of demonic torment—the notorious Ammons “Demon House” in Indiana and the terrifying spread of the Zozo phenomenon. The first half of the episode recounts the harrowing experiences of Latoya Ammons and her children, whose new home quickly turned into a battleground of levitation, possession, and spiritual warfare witnessed by priests, doctors, police, and social workers alike. The second half turns to Darren Evans, whose teenage dabbling with a Ouija board awakened a malevolent entity named Zozo—a spirit that would go on to torment his life for decades and seemingly predict the death of his best friend. Through these stories, the episode explores the reality of haunted homes, cursed objects, and deceptive spirits masquerading as the dead. It's a gripping and sobering reminder that not all hauntings are innocent... and not every spirit is what it claims to be.

Episode 9 of The Dancing Toaster revisits the terrifying true story that inspired The Exorcist—the possession of a boy known as Roland Doe, later revealed to be Ronald Hunkeler. What began with a Ouija board séance in 1949 would become a full-blown supernatural siege, spanning multiple cities, hospitals, and months of relentless spiritual warfare. This episode retells the chilling case: levitations, unexplainable scratches, Latin curses, and an exorcism so intense it shattered faith and bones alike. But beyond the horror, it asks deeper questions—about unbelief, biblical warnings, and whether demonic possession is real or just dismissed too easily in our modern age. Anchored in scripture and steeped in unease, this episode forces us to consider what lies just beyond the veil… and what happens when we dare to knock.

Episode 8 of The Dancing Toaster explores the unsettling world of haunted and cursed objects—starting with the infamous case of Annabelle, the supposedly possessed doll investigated by Ed and Lorraine Warren. This dramatized retelling dives into the events that led two young nurses from curiosity to terror, revealing how an innocent-seeming toy became a doorway to something far more sinister. But the episode doesn’t stop with modern lore. It digs deep into Scripture, showing how objects in both the Bible and ancient pagan cultures were often tied to spiritual forces—both divine and demonic. From the Ark of the Covenant haunting the Philistines to cursed idols in Mesopotamia, this episode challenges listeners to rethink their understanding of spiritual influence and how the unseen realm can be channeled through physical things. It's a spine-tingling, thought-provoking journey into the theology and terror of haunted objects.

Episode 7 of The Dancing Toaster ventures into the chilling true story that inspired The Conjuring—the haunting of the Perron family. After moving into the Arnold Estate in 1970, the Perrons quickly found themselves at the mercy of something far more than creaky floorboards and old house noises. From dolls rearranged by unseen hands to nightly attacks, spirit apparitions, and spectral voices whispering the names of the five Perron daughters, their lives were turned into a waking nightmare. The episode examines the terrifying escalation of events—malicious spirits, phantom kisses, violent possessions—and the infamous involvement of Ed and Lorraine Warren. At the center of it all looms the shadow of Bathsheba Sherman, a figure blamed for dark rituals and bound to the land in death. This episode doesn’t just recount a haunting; it explores the terrifying possibility that some houses don’t just remember the dead—they keep them.
