Episode overview

Former FBI Agent Reveals the Terrifying Encounter That Sent Him Back to Church

Shawn Ryan Show · 19 August 2026 · 18m · 2 Egleze moments

What happened in this episode?

In this short episode, the guest — introduced as a former FBI agent — describes two experiences he says shaped his views on faith and extremism. First, he recounts a teenage period of dabbling in ‘witchcraft and Satanism’, including performing a mock “possession” skit while drinking; he says he then saw what he interpreted as a red, watery image of a demon beckoning him, panicked, and later walked to church. The account is presented as personal experience rather than corroborated evidence.

The larger portion of the conversation centres on his claim that, during his law-enforcement career, he spent time around a white supremacist group that adopted a distorted version of Norse pagan ritual. He alleges members stole a goat from a nearby property and brought it to a secluded ‘holy spot’ in the woods for a Halloween ‘blot’ ceremony. He says the ritual language framed the killing as the beginning of a ‘wild hunt’ — which he describes as, in the group’s interpretation, a call to ‘cleanse’ perceived enemies.

He also claims he notified a monitoring team through a ‘listening device’ that the group was about to kill the animal, waited for guidance, and received no response. He describes unsafe handling of a pistol during the killing and says the group later cut the goat’s throat, collected blood, and combined it with LSD for some participants.

Former FBI agent claims handlers stayed silent as group prepared animal sacrifice

at 11:57 · Attributed speaker claim

And I go to my listening device and I go, "Hey, I'm pretty sure we're getting ready to go down here and kill this goat." And I'm like, I'm racking my brain trying to think of anything. Should I stop this? Should I not stop this? But I'm giving you guys the opportunity. If you can come up with a reason for me not doing it or you don't want me doing it, you need to let me know.

The guest says that, ahead of what he describes as a planned goat sacrifice during an extremist ritual, he alerted a monitoring team via a ‘listening device’ and waited for instruction. He claims nobody responded, and he proceeded to accompany the group to the ritual site where the animal was killed.

Ex-FBI agent says white supremacist circle framed goat killing as ‘wild hunt’

at 13:41 · Attributed speaker claim

And he's saying that on this sacrifice, we're going to start the wild hunt. The wild hunt in Norse mythology is essentially Odin and a bunch of other gods going out in the middle of the night and laying the smackdown to all their enemies. The white supremacy version is this sacrifice is going to signify the beginning of the wild hunt and that's us cleansing the world of darkness, i.e. non-whites anti-fasc.

The guest, introduced as a former FBI agent, recounts attending a Halloween-night ritual with a white supremacist group that he says had adopted a distorted form of Norse paganism. He says the group’s leader framed a goat sacrifice as the start of a ‘wild hunt’ aimed at ‘cleansing’ enemies, which he interpreted as targeting non-white people and anti-fascists.
