Former TV ghost hunter Kristina Costanza spent years investigating haunted locations, communicating with spirits, exploring witchcraft, and working in professional paranormal television.
But the deeper she went, the darker things became.
In this episode of The Shaun Tabatt Show, Kristina shares how an early fascination with psychics, tarot cards, séances, and the paranormal eventually grew into professional ghost hunting, television opportunities, witchcraft, psychic practices, manifestation, and New Age spirituality.
She also reveals what began happening after paranormal investigations—including shadow figures, spiritual torment, and experiences she says followed her home.
At one point during investigations, Kristina would openly tell the entities she was attempting to contact:
“You can use my voice, you can use my body, you can use my energy.”
Looking back, she now believes she was opening herself to something very different from the ghosts and spirits she thought she was communicating with.
Kristina also shares:
• How she became a professional paranormal investigator• What ghost hunting actually looked like behind the scenes• How witchcraft became incorporated into paranormal investigations• Her experiences with psychics, tarot, séances, and mediumship• What happened after visiting Ed and Lorraine Warren’s Occult Museum• Why she believes spiritual darkness followed her home• The danger she now sees in inviting spiritual entities to communicate through you• Why crystals, sage, manifestation, and New Age practices failed to give her peace• How she moved from ghost hunting into deeper occult and New Age spirituality• Why she initially struggled with supernatural Christianity after leaving the occult• The moment Scripture suddenly came alive to her• Why she cried out, “Jesus, you are real. Save me.”• How her life changed after surrendering everything to Jesus
Kristina’s story is ultimately not about darkness—it’s about what happened when she discovered the One she had been searching for all along.

Are UFOs really visitors from another planet—or could the phenomenon be something far older and more spiritual?
In this episode of The Shaun Tabatt Show, Shaun sits down with theologian, filmmaker, and author Derrick Warfel to explore the provocative case he makes in his new book, UFOs and GOD: Revealing Deception and Truth Behind the Supernatural, Invisible War.
Derrick argues that while the vast majority of reported UFO sightings can be explained by ordinary causes, a small percentage remain difficult to explain. But he believes the biggest mistake may be assuming that unexplained automatically means extraterrestrial.
What if the phenomenon is connected instead to the supernatural realm described throughout Scripture?
In this conversation, Shaun and Derrick explore:
• Why Derrick says UFOs are real—but may not be what people think they are• Why the beings associated with the phenomenon appear to change their story across generations• Historical UFO reports involving pilots, military installations, and nuclear weapons• Whether the enormous distances between stars undermine the extraterrestrial hypothesis• Why Derrick believes an interdimensional explanation better fits the evidence• The relationship between UFO encounters, angels, fallen spiritual powers, and spiritual warfare• Why simply saying “they’re all demons” may be too simplistic• Reports of alleged abduction experiences stopping when people call on the name of Jesus• How Hollywood and popular culture have shaped our assumptions about extraterrestrial life• Why deliberately attempting to contact UFOs or nonhuman entities may carry serious spiritual risks• How Christians can “test the spirits” rather than blindly accepting supernatural encounters• Why Derrick believes the ultimate issue is not merely UFO disclosure, but spiritual deception
Derrick’s central warning is that the phenomenon may be offering humanity a worldview that replaces the biblical Creator with supposedly advanced beings who claim to possess superior knowledge about humanity, God, and our origins.
As he puts it in the interview:
“We’re not alone, but it’s not who you think they are.”

Former professional psychic medium Jenn Nizza warns that spiritual deception doesn’t always look obviously dark. Sometimes occult and New Age practices can be repackaged in language that sounds peaceful, helpful—even Christian.
At one point during her former life as a psychic, Jenn was even instructed to pray the Lord’s Prayer immediately before practicing necromancy.
In this conversation, Jenn explains why she now warns Christians about what she describes as “Christian witchcraft,” psychic mediumship, tarot, Reiki, manifestation, astrology, and other New Age practices—and how she ultimately walked away from the occult after calling on the name of Jesus.
We discuss:
• How Jenn became involved with tarot and psychic readings• Why she believed she was genuinely helping people• How she eventually became a professional psychic medium• Tarot, Reiki, crystals, manifestation, astrology, and divination• Why New Age spirituality can appear safe and attractive• The difference between prophetic ministry and psychic mediumship• Why Jenn rejects the ideas of “Christian psychics” and “Christian witches”• The time she was instructed to pray the Lord’s Prayer before practicing necromancy• The disturbing spiritual manifestations she began experiencing• Why the occult practices she relied on could not protect her• The moment she called on the name of Jesus• What Scripture revealed to her about divination and mediumship• Why she ultimately walked away from her career as a psychic• Her new book, Darkness in Disguise
Jenn’s story is ultimately one of spiritual deception, discernment, and the freedom she says she found in Jesus Christ.

Millions of people are now being taught how to initiate contact with UFOs or non-human intelligence. Former Green Beret Paul Bock says that may be one of the most dangerous developments in the modern disclosure movement.
Paul joins me to discuss his new book, The Disclosure Agenda: A Green Beret’s Warning to the Church About UFOs, Aliens, and Their Emerging Religion, and why he believes the bigger story isn’t simply whether the phenomenon is real—but the spiritual belief system forming around it.
After serving in U.S. Army Special Forces with deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, Paul eventually became involved in work surrounding the UAP phenomenon. What he encountered convinced him that Christians have focused so heavily on UFOs themselves that many have missed the religious and spiritual ideas developing around them.
In this conversation, Paul explains why he believes UFO disclosure has been normalized over decades, how Steven Greer’s CE-5 protocol attempts to initiate contact with non-human intelligence, and why millions of people are now being exposed to practices involving meditation, consciousness, altered states, and direct supernatural contact.
Paul’s message throughout the interview is simple: don’t dismiss supernatural experiences—but don’t accept them uncritically either. Test everything.
We also explore:
• How Paul went from Green Beret to the UAP world• Why UFO disclosure has become a mainstream conversation• The emerging belief system surrounding non-human intelligence• Why Paul describes disclosure as an influence operation• Steven Greer’s near-death experience and spiritual worldview• What CE-5 and human-initiated contact actually involve• How people are being encouraged to “make contact” themselves• UFO abductions, NDEs, and supernatural encounters• Why supernatural experiences are not automatically from God• Whether apparently beneficial encounters can still be deceptive• What pastors should do when someone reports an encounter• Why Christianity must recover its supernatural worldview• How Christians can stay informed without becoming obsessed• Why biblical discernment matters more than chasing the phenomenon

Have you ever had a thought, impression, or feeling and wondered: Was that God—or was that just me?
Wendy Backlund joins Shaun Tabatt to explore how Christians can learn to recognize God’s voice with greater confidence. Drawing from her book Living from the Unseen: Reflections from a Transformed Life, Wendy shares how she learned to hear God through ordinary impressions, why discernment develops through relationship and practice, and why fear of getting it wrong can keep believers from growing.
In this conversation, Shaun and Wendy discuss:
• How Wendy learned to recognize God’s voice• How to discern God’s voice from your own thoughts• Why hearing God often begins with small impressions• Why hearing God involves relationship and practice• Why striving can make discernment harder• How imagination relates to biblical faith• What it means to live with awareness of the unseen realm• Why Wendy writes down what she believes God is saying• How renewing your mind can transform your emotions• Practical ways to grow in spiritual awareness
Wendy also shares the provocative challenge she believes God gave her: “Being small is not going to change the world” and “You have permission to be as glorious as you want.”
If you’ve ever wanted to hear God more clearly—or wondered whether you were simply imagining it—this conversation will give you practical insight for growing in confidence and discernment.

Nearly twenty years after The Shack became a worldwide phenomenon, Wm. Paul Young has finally written a sequel.
In this deeply personal conversation, Paul reveals why he returned to Mackenzie Allen Phillips and the world of The Shack—and how nearly a decade of friendships with men on death row helped inspire Return to the Shack: A Journey into Redemption.
At the heart of the new story is an extraordinary question: What happens when forgiveness is no longer theoretical?
Mack must come face-to-face with the man who abducted and murdered his daughter and wrestle with whether anyone is truly beyond redemption.
Paul also shares a remarkably vulnerable experience from his own life. After someone he deeply cares about was seriously harmed, Paul found himself consumed with thoughts of vengeance, even waking in the middle of the night thinking about how he could kill the person responsible. That experience forced him to confront the difference between talking about forgiveness and actually living it.
Shaun and Paul explore forgiveness, justice versus vengeance, enemy love, grief, redemption, the goodness of God, Paul's friendships with men on death row, and what he hopes readers experience when they enter the Shack again.

A stranger chased Eric Davis to his car and insisted that he accept a free antique wooden statue. Soon afterward, disturbing spiritual activity began affecting Eric's family. His three-year-old daughter repeatedly reported seeing three little men standing in her bedroom. Unexplained odors and strange lights appeared inside the home. Convinced that the antique was connected to the activity, Eric burned it—but the spiritual oppression did not completely end. Years later, Eric and his wife purchased their dream home: an 1837 plantation with a Civil War-era hospital and a long history of reported paranormal activity. There, the manifestations escalated into an intense spiritual battle that placed extraordinary pressure on their home, marriage, and faith. In this gripping conversation, Eric shares: Why the antique dealer was determined to give him the statue What his young daughter repeatedly saw in her bedroom Why destroying the cursed object did not end the oppression The disturbing history of the plantation property The terrifying manifestations his family experienced there The moment Eric found himself unable to say the name of Jesus Why prayer and anointing the property brought only temporary relief How unforgiveness became a critical part of the spiritual battle What finally brought freedom to Eric's family and home How the experience transformed Eric's faith and led him into deliverance ministry Eric recounts the complete story in his book, Deliverance at Springhill Plantation.

A 7,000-year-old underground palace beneath Rome. Thousands of skeletons with elongated skulls. And in the 1940s, a teacher took thirty students into its tunnels on a field trip. They were never found. Pastor Larry Ollison returns to The Shaun Tabatt Show to talk about his book, Hidden Mysteries and the Bible: Secrets Revealed — Aliens, UFOs, Giants, Time Travel, Multiverse, AI, and Other Unexplained Phenomena.
