Summary
What happens when a former ghost hunter realizes the spirits she spent years chasing were never what they claimed to be? In this episode, Tony sits down with Kristina Costanza to unpack her journey from Catholic roots to paranormal investigation, witchcraft, psychic practices, and New Age deception. Kristina shares how curiosity opened doors to darker encounters, including terrifying manifestations, spiritual oppression, and a shadowy presence that followed her home. As her life spiraled through fear, depression, occult practices, and failed attempts to save herself, she began to discover that no ritual, crystal, sage, or spirit guide could set her free. Her testimony takes a powerful turn when Jesus breaks through the deception, lifts the veil from her eyes, and leads her into true freedom. This is a raw conversation about spiritual warfare, the danger of occult doors, and the unmatched authority of Christ over darkness.
