This Halloween, Truth Be Told takes a chilling turn into prophecy, apocalypse, and the supernatural forces that may be hiding behind our favorite holiday. Host Tony Sweet explores the haunting origins of Halloween, from the Celtic festival of Samhain to the fall of Atlantis, the return of the Anunnaki, and the occult symbols we still carve, wear, and display today. Are jack-o’-lanterns just decorations—or glowing warnings? Are costumes playful disguises—or ancient rituals of survival? And what if Halloween isn’t just a celebration of the dead, but a prophecy of the world’s final night?
Step into the shadows and decide for yourself. Because this October 31st… the veil may not close again.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, welcome truth seekers to another very special Halloween edition
of Truth Be Told. I'm your host, Tony Sweet, and
tonight we're going deep into the shadows. Now, most people
think Halloween as candy, costumes and jack O'Lanterns, and the
candy is my favorite part. But what if Halloween is
more than a party night. What if this holiday is
(00:22):
actually part of an ancient prophecy. Well, for thousands of years,
cultures across the world have treated this night as sacred.
The Celts called it Sowen, the Church tried to rename
it all hollows Eve. But beneath all of that is
a thread, a warning that on this night, the veil
between the worlds is thin, and what waits on the
(00:43):
other side, Jess might not be the spirits of the dead,
but forces that could bring about the end of days. Well,
tonight we're going to explore how Halloween connects to ancient prophecies,
apocalyptic visions, and fears of the supernatural worlds colliding with
We'll dive into Atlantis, the Ananaki occult symbolism, and ask
(01:05):
the terrifying questions, is Halloween the marker for our world's
final chapter? So dim the lights pour yourself something dark,
and maybe just maybe keep an eye on the shadows
around you. Let's start with the Celts. Thousands of years ago,
they celebrated Sowen. This festival marked the end of the harvest,
the beginning of the dark half of the year, and
(01:28):
on this night, they believed, the veil between living and
the dead disappeared. Spirits roam freely, visiting homes, whispering omens.
Fires were lit not just to warm the night, but
to keep the malevolent beings at bay. Families left food
outside the door, not the trick or treat, but for
wandering souls, to keep them from causing harm. Now here's
(01:50):
where it gets chilling. Sowen wasn't just a festival of
the dead, but Druids believed it was also a night
of judgment. The gods would measure humanity side fates and
determine who would survive this coming winter. Does this sound
familiar In the Bible? In the Book of Revelation, their
imagery of harvest io the reaping of souls and a
(02:11):
sickle cutting across humanity. So ask yourself. Was Halloween the
origin of Sowyn not just a night of remnants, but
a rehearsal for the final harvest, the night where we wait, judged,
and maybe chosen. Have you ever felt it, that sudden
chill in the air when you're walking outside on Halloween night?
Folklore says it's not the wind, it's the brush of
(02:34):
something unseen. The spirit's moving past you, maybe taking a
note of you. Okay, now, let's travel back to Plato's
tale of Atlantis, a powerful civilization rich with knowledge and technology,
wiped out in a single night, fire from the sky,
earthquakes splitting the land, ocean, swallowing everything. Some occult traditions
(02:56):
believe Atlantis didn't just vanish randomly, if failed during a
cosmic alignment near the end of harvest season. That sounds
suspiciously close to Halloween. Think about it, one night when
the world shifts into chaos, civilizations crumble, and survivors are
left to rebuild. Isn't that what Halloween is? A single
(03:17):
night where the ordinary flips into the extraordinary, when the
dead walks, when rules collapse. And here's the terrifying thought.
What if Halloween is humanity's subconscious memory of Atlantis's fall,
a cultural scar replayed every year reminding us this can
all happen again, and modern science warns us about the
(03:38):
rising sea levels, earthquakes, and even strange anomalies under our feet,
like the so called hot blob of magma discovered beneath
the Eastern US. Geologists don't know what it means, but
it echoes the Atlantian prophecy. The Earth resets itself suddenly,
violently and without warning. So I ask you, are we
(03:59):
living in another Atlantis? And Halloween is not just a costume
party but a countdown. Okay, this is one of my favorites.
Let's go back further to samer the cradle of civilization.
The Samerians spoke about the Ananaki, powerful beings from the
stars who came to Earth, creating humanity and ruled by gods.
(04:21):
According to their myths, the Ananaki would one day return.
And here's the unsettling part. In Samerian calendars, times of
great chaos were often marked by seasonal thresholds, transitions exactly
like sourin, exactly like Halloween. Imagine this, Every October thirty first,
(04:41):
millions of us open doors to strangers in masks. We
invite them in, hand them offerings of food. We dress
as monsters, demon spirits, we re enact ancient rituals without
even realizing it. What if this is practice a night
preparing humanity to greet the great gods when they return.
And have you heard of the black eyed kids? Hmm? Well,
(05:03):
strange children pale skin appearing at night, knocking on doors
asking to be let in. Witnesses says their eyes are
pure black, and once you invite them in, everything changes.
Doesn't that sound like trick or treat from another world?
So maybe Halloween is more than just innocent fun. Maybe
it's a ritual rehearsal, and maybe one night soon it
(05:25):
won't be kids in costumes knocking, it'll be something else
let us in. Okay, So I want to talk about
some symbolism of Halloween. They're not random, they're warnings. The
jackal entern, originally carved from turnips, wasn't decorations. It was
a trap, a glowing cage to imprison wandering spirits. Today,
(05:46):
pumpkins light the night like fury skulls, beacon or a warning.
The costumes we say it's for fun, but to the
ancients it was a disguise, hide your identity so that
the spirits won't drag you away. Or more chick to
take on the mask of a demon and become one,
if only for one night, all right, So the black
cat I had one growing up, and in the Middle
(06:08):
Ages it was thought to be a witch's familiar, or
even a witch herself transformed. In Egypt, cats guarded the underworld,
crossing your path on Halloween. That's no coincidence. Now we're
going to talk about the bat, not baseball, but the
creature that flies in the night, a symbol of death
and rebirth, swooping silently through the darkness. What if all
(06:32):
these aren't decorations but instructions, ancient symbols teaching us how
to survive the night when the prophecies come true. So
the question is, are we celebrating Halloween or are we
unknowingly re enacting a mass ritual every year, year after year,
recharging a prophecy that one day will manifest. So next
(06:53):
time you carve that pumpkin, stare into the flickering flame,
is it just a candle or an eye watching you back?
So prophecies of the end are everywhere in the Book
of Daniel. Beast rise from the sea, and revelations, trumpets blast,
stars fall, and dead rise, and the hopey prophecy of
final fire sweeps the earth clean. What's the common thread?
(07:15):
A night when the stars shift, when the dead walk,
when Judgment arrives, and doesn't Halloween echo all that, the
dead returns, the stars aligne oriyan serious, and the pleiades
all have ritual importance. This time of year, we dress
as beast, as demons, as angels of death. Maybe Halloween
is not symbolic. Maybe it's a training, a rehearsal for
(07:38):
the night when chaos becomes real. The scariest thought, maybe
the prophecy isn't in the future, maybe it's already begun.
And maybe in every Halloween we are just playing our parts,
and so we'll leave it at this. The surin, the harvests,
and the Judgment Atlantis, the one night fall of the
Great Civilization, the Ananaki gods who promise to Halloween symbols
(08:02):
warning and rituals to protect ourselves. Maybe Halloween isn't about
ghosts and goblins. Maybe it's a prophecy. We've been keeping
it alive for thousands of years, a night reminding us
that one day the veil won't close again. The gods
or something else will step through, and our world will
change forever. So this Halloween, when you pick up that
(08:24):
Jack o' lenard glowing in the dark, ask yourself, is
it a decoration or is it a warning light in
the night signaling that the prophecy is already among us.
All right, we'll leave it there, But my name is
Tony Sweet, and you're listening to this special Halloween episode
of Truth Be Told. If tonight's journey into the Halloween Prophecy,
since shiver's down your spine, share this episode with your friends,
(08:47):
leave a review, and remember this show thrives because truth
seekers like you, and we'll be back with many other
stories of the unexplained, the mysterious, and the prophetic. Until
next time, keep your lights burning, keep your eyes open,
and always remember you can't handle the truth, but we're
always going to tell it anyway. Happy Halloween and we'll
(09:07):
see you next week.
