He has a website now where he lists a ton of boring preachings, some of his music, an itinerary of a pilgrimage to his house (more on this), and latest "miracles"

Apparent this past July, he hosted a pilgrimage to the Christian land of...Osage, Iowa. More specifically, his own house. (

Some of the activities that took place during the "Pilgrimage at William Tapley's Refuge":
- Lunch and Dinner at Tres Amigos Mexican Restaurant (or Teluwut Grille House & Pub if reopened, William seems a bit bummed that the only other choice in Osage, IA, is a Mexican place)
- Campfire singalongs (July 4th's campfire singalong was exclusively patriotic-themed songs)
- Visiting a bunch of gift shops and thrift stores
- Watching fireworks
- Hiking
- A "Patriotic Rosary"
- A two hour drive to some smelly humid grotto
There seems to be few religious activities as part of this "pilgrimage".
Some of the miracles that Tapley details on his website

On May 16, 2023, during what appears to be a Skype chat with some fans, a fan of his (colleteryan56) lost a pet bird. Someone posted prayer emojis in chat and then colleteryan56 reported that the bird returned to her. She claimed that she had been searching 9 hours through 10 acres of woods for her bird, and there are 10 beads in a Rosary. The bird was blue colored, the color of Mary. This was the
3rd miracle during the recitation of the Rosary, during the
3rd Glorious Mystery of the Descent of the Holy Ghost. 9 hours =
3^3. There were 12 emojis posted before colleteryan56 found her bird (12 =
3 x 4) and 15 blue bird emojis (15 =
3 x 5). We have a total of 5 instances of 3, which is 5 x 3 = 15, which is the number of decades in the original Rosary. You can also get to the number 10 seven different ways using the date 5/16/2023 (for example, 5 + 16 + 20 + 23 = 64 = 6 + 4 = 10)

On June 11, 2023, a follower named Mara Vuksanaj reported that she lost her wallet at a gas station. After posting prayer emojis on Skype, Mara reported that a retired police officer named John, who bore a striking resemblance to Pope John Paul II (who is Tapley's favorite pope) returned the wallet to her. Retired = Heaven, Police Officer = Papacy, John = John, so it's a miracle

On February 7, 2021, Sister Renee Mauser looked up at the sky over Osage, IA, during the Super Bowl, to see clouds in the image of holy figures (seen below)
He also has a very long and boring backstory in the "
About" page. As expected, its full of wild claims, interpretations, and contradictions. For example, he completely contradicts the story of God talking to him
Often when I was studying the end times interpretation of Revelation I would come to a mental block. At that point I would pause and take a walk while praying the rosary. On one such walk it occurred to me to ask the Lord, "who is the eagle of the Apocalypse" (Revelation 8:13). My thoughts immediately answered "you are!". This really startled me but I knew that it came from God and was not a product of my imagination.
