Turner begins by sharing his own transformative journey. At just 15 years old, he witnessed an upright canine creature — similar to what many now call a “dog man.” This personal experience sparked years of study, including deep dives into the Bible and the Book of Enoch, which he describes as an extended version of Genesis 6. These texts reveal the existence of the Nephilim—hybrid offspring of the “sons of God” and human women—who wreaked havoc on the earth in ancient times. Turner explains that while some Nephilim may have been less malevolent, the majority were cannibalistic giants responsible for immense evil and destruction.
“For the most part, they were overwhelmingly evil… cannibalistic. They would eat the humans that were smaller than them,” says Turner.
The Bible recounts that even after the Flood, such beings persisted. Joshua and Caleb’s exploration of Canaan revealed encounters with giants, making them feel like “grasshoppers” in comparison. This chilling history, Turner says, is not merely ancient myth but a reality resurfacing in our times.
According to Turner, the rise in cryptid sightings—upright, goat-headed creatures resembling Baphomet, and other shadowy figures—is a sign of increasing spiritual darkness. He notes how occult symbols have become normalized in media and society, subtly influencing people’s minds and morality. He is outspoken in his opposition to these influences, warning they open doors to demonic deception.
He discusses the symbolism behind such entities: “The Baphomet thing… it represents this hybrid sort of… chimera… and it’s like a transgender thing…”
One of the most unsettling revelations involves cults claiming to shapeshift through a parasitic “other” that attaches to the spine and links them symbiotically with demons. Turner recounts stories of black goo exuded from these creatures and vampires who drain life energy. These entities don’t just haunt adults; Turner believes children are also targeted, and a Nephilim bloodline still runs through humanity, enabling these attachments.

Turner also stresses the importance of spiritual vigilance. He advises daily prayers, including pleading the blood of Jesus over oneself, family, pets and property. Many reports include animals possessed or behaving erratically, reinforcing the pervasiveness of these dark forces.
This compelling interview highlights the frightening resurgence of ancient evil in modern times. As the days grow darker, Turner and Marzulli call for awareness, spiritual preparedness and faith as the only true defense against the growing army of cryptids and demonic beasts roaming the earth.
