After Hours AM

The Phillip Experiment – Creating a Ghost & the Terrifying Mystery of Black-Eyed KidsCan the human mind actually create a ghost? And what would you do if two mysterious children with completely black eyes appeared at your door in the middle of the night?Join Joel Sturgis and Brittney Seifert on After Hours AM as we explore two of the strangest and most disturbing mysteries in the paranormal world.👻 THE PHILLIP EXPERIMENT: DID THEY ACTUALLY CREATE A GHOST?In 1972, a group of Canadian researchers embarked on an extraordinary experiment. Rather than investigate an existing haunting, they decided to create their own ghost using nothing more than imagination, concentration, and the power of the human mind.They invented a fictional 17th-century English nobleman named Philip Aylesford, complete with a tragic history, and began conducting séances to contact him.What happened next reportedly defied explanation.Tables began moving, mysterious knocks answered questions, and the group claimed to communicate with a man who had never existed. Was this evidence of collective consciousness, psychokinesis, or the power of suggestion? Or had the participants somehow brought an entirely new paranormal entity into existence? We'll examine the original experiment, the reported results, and the scientific explanations behind one of parapsychology's most fascinating investigations.👁️ BLACK-EYED KIDS: DON'T LET THEM INSIDE! Imagine a knock at your door late at night. Outside stand two ordinary-looking children asking to come inside. Something about them immediately fills you with overwhelming dread. Then you notice their eyes. Completely black. No whites. No visible pupils. Just darkness. Since the 1990s, chilling accounts of mysterious Black-Eyed Kids have circulated throughout paranormal communities. Witnesses describe strange encounters, unnatural behavior, and children who seem determined to gain permission to enter homes and vehicles. Are these encounters with supernatural entities, something extraterrestrial, or simply a terrifying modern urban legend? We'll revisit the famous 1996 Brian Bethel encounter in Abilene, Texas, examine the most disturbing claims, and explore why these mysterious visitors have become such an enduring part of paranormal folklore.🎙️ TWO MYSTERIES. ONE UNSETTLING QUESTION. Could the human mind be responsible for creating some of the very things we fear? With more than three decades of paranormal investigative experience, Joel joins Brittney to separate documented history from speculation, challenge popular theories, and explore what these strange stories might reveal about the unexplained.We want to hear from YOU!

Some stories don't end when you close the book. Some follow you into the darkness. This week on After Hours AM, hosts Joel Sturgis and Brittany Seifert welcome horror author Matthew Salinas for a chilling journey into the world of horror fiction, psychological terror, and the stories that haunt our imaginations long after the final page. Based in Illinois, Matthew is an accomplished writer of horror novels, short stories, and micro-fiction. He's a member of the Chicago Writers Association and the Horror Writers Association, and had the distinction of serving on the first-ever American Library Association Reader's Advisory Panel on Horror Fiction. In addition to creating his own dark tales, Matthew works as an editor and interviewer for Fairfield Scribes, based in Connecticut. Tonight, we'll explore what makes a truly terrifying story, the psychology behind our fascination with fear, the difference between supernatural horror and real-life nightmares, and what inspires writers to venture into the darkest corners of the human imagination. We'll also discuss classic horror, modern storytelling, the future of the genre, and whether reality can sometimes be more frightening than anything fiction could create. What scares a horror writer? And what happens when the stories we tell begin to feel a little too real? Join us for an evening of fascinating conversation, dark imagination, and a few things that might make you think twice before turning out the lights.🎙️ Hosts: Joel Sturgis & Brittany Seifert👻 Special Guest: Horror Author Matthew Salinas📅 Sunday at 7 PM Central📺 Watch live on YouTube and Facebook!After Hours AM — Your Refuge From Normal.

After Hours AM, Joel Sturgis and Brittany Seifert welcome paranormal investigator, bestselling author, and podcaster Eleanor Wagner for a journey down some of America’s most haunted roads and into the places where restless spirits may still linger. As the founder of the New Jersey Spirit Hunters and North Carolina Spirit Hunters, Eleanor has spent years investigating reports of ghosts, unexplained activity, and strange phenomena. Her work has taken her inside some remarkable haunted locations, including New Jersey’s Sterling Hill Mining Museum, where evidence from her investigation was featured on Paranormal Caught on Camera. We’ll explore chilling roadside encounters, haunted locations, unexplained evidence, and the stories Eleanor has uncovered while researching her popular Hauntings and Other Strange Phenomena book series. We’ll also talk about what years in the field have taught her about investigating the unknown—and whether some spirits truly remain tied to the places where their stories began. Turn down the lights, settle in, and join us as we travel the dark backroads in search of Haunted Roads & Restless Spirits.

What happens when tragedy leaves something behind? On this special edition of After Hours AM, Joel Sturgis and Brittany M explore the disturbing world of ghostly evidence—EVPs, unexplained photographs, eyewitness encounters, and the strange moments that continue to challenge what we think we know about life after death. Then we take to the haunted skies for one of aviation’s most enduring paranormal mysteries: Eastern Air Lines Flight 401. On December 29, 1972, Flight 401 crashed into the Florida Everglades, killing more than 100 people. But according to stories that emerged afterward, the tragedy may not have ended in the swamp. Airline employees and passengers reportedly began encountering the apparitions of crew members from Flight 401 aboard other aircraft—including planes said to contain salvaged parts from the wreckage. Were these encounters simply rumors born from tragedy? Misidentifications and folklore? Or did something from Flight 401 continue flying long after the crash? Join After Hours AM as we examine the history, the reported hauntings, and the evidence behind the chilling legend of Flight 401.🎙️ After Hours AM — Refuge from Normal.
