Garrett Shearman

History, faith, the occult and the stories nobody finishes.

Garrett Shearman

I love a good story, from adventure to horror, from the ancient world to this morning's news. I'm a Christian, a student of history and art, and above all a seeker of truth. I have a lot of questions about the world we live in, so I go looking: past the noise, into the hidden and the obscure, to see what's really there. The videos are where I share what I find. The books are where I tell stories of my own.

What I make

  • The Accuser's Court. Documentary episodes on real witch trials and possession cases, told from the trial records, the letters and the confessions: who accused whom, what the courts accepted, and what it cost.
  • The Ledger. Feature films on how the occult changed over three thousand years, from the medium at Endor to Hammurabi, Salem, the Fox sisters and WitchTok, with Scripture read as it's written.
  • The Exorcist's Bench. A numbered show on documented possession cases. Each episode works through the paperwork behind the case and asks what it can and cannot prove.
  • Louisiana: The Real Story. Louisiana's money, politics and big promises, from someone who lives here: who gets the deal, and who pays for it.
  • Radio Hour. Reaction sessions on the reels and videos people are arguing about: faith and the occult, exorcists and psychics, housing and money, culture. I pause, look things up and say what I think.

How I work

The long-form videos are built from the record: trial documents, letters, court filings, Scripture read as it's written, and the reporting behind every number. Sources are in each video's description. Where something is alleged rather than proven, I say so. Where I'm giving my opinion, you'll know it's mine.
