Blurry Creatures is the podcast that takes the strange, the unexplained, and the flat-out weird seriously, and asks what the Bible actually has to say about it. Every week, hosts Luke Rodgers and Nate Henry dig into the topics most people are afraid to touch. UFOs and UAPs. Cryptids and creatures. The Nephilim, the Watchers, and the sons of God. The divine council, cosmic geography, and the spiritual war happening just past the edge of our vision. Rooted in a biblical framework, the show pulls ancient texts, real witness testimony, and honest questions into the same conversation. This is not fringe for the sake of fringe. It is graduate-level theology, academic discussion, and real-world testimony made for regular people, with room for wonder, a healthy dose of humor, and a refusal to pretend the supernatural stopped being real. Whether you are a lifelong believer, a curious skeptic, or someone who has seen something you cannot explain, there is a seat for you here. Come for the mystery. Stay for the truth that holds it all together. New episodes every week.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-05T04:22:12.139692+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/blurry-creatures-744682"},"episode":{"title":"EP: 450 Canada's Worst Demonic Possession with Michael Anthony Gagliardi (Members Preview)","slug":"ep-450-canada-s-worst-demonic-possession-with-michael-anthony-gagliardi-members-preview","published_at":"2026-07-31T20:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/blurry-creatures-744682/ep-450-canada-s-worst-demonic-possession-with-michael-anthony-gagliardi-members-preview","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/blurry-creatures-744682","url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/s.gum.fm/s-661fc8f0defef17c866096ba/mgln.ai/e/617/traffic.megaphone.fm/LEW4768198497.mp3","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/s.gum.fm/s-661fc8f0defef17c866096ba/mgln.ai/e/617/traffic.megaphone.fm/LEW4768198497.mp3","summary":"From The Vault: Today's episode was originally released exclusively to our members. We want to offer all listeners a taste of what happens behind the Blurry paywall. Members get a new exclusive episode every week, plus ad-free listening, access to exclusive communities, early ticket releases, exclusive drops, and more... For twelve years, Michael Gagliardi lived in a house with something he could not name. It started with séances and voices in the walls, then scratching and knocking that the whole family heard, and slowly the oppression became something far worse. His mother, a soft-spoken four-foot-eleven woman with bright green eyes, became unrecognizable. She spoke in languages she never knew. She hit herself with a log until she bled. She chased his sister around the car with a butcher knife and was taken away in a straitjacket, only to sign herself out and come home three months later. And every single night, young Michael slept in a fetal position with a hockey stick, a dresser loaded with bricks shoved against his bedroom door, listening to her try to get in. This is one of the most harrowing firsthand accounts of demonic possession we have ever heard. Michael walks Nate and Luke through the day he found his mother sawing the chain off the freezer, the moment her green eyes turned to solid black, and the strange final letter that warned him not to become a wild man. He also lays out the Nephilim and cosmic geography framework he has spent thirty years building to make sense of it all, the same research behind his book The Devil Takes the Hindmost. This episode originally aired for members only, and we are opening it up as a window into what lives behind the paywall every week.  This preview is just the beginning.
