Every night you close your eyes, you risk wandering into a nightmare...but for some, these nightmares are a reality. We're talking with listeners about their experiences with sleep paralysis and déjà vu. It's all about nightmares At the Fire. Pull up a seat and drink lots of coffee, because you won't want to fall asleep tonight.

Do you ever find yourself unable to remember what happened the past week? What about waking up in the middle of the night, unable to determine if what you experienced was real or just a dream? At the Fire is excited to share three stories of personal extraterrestrial experiences. A special guest storyteller tells us about his sighting while serving in the U.S. military. A group of Men in Black drop by one Redditor's home for a surprise visit. And we hear about a dream that's out of this world.

This episode, we chat with horror and true crime author, Todd C. Elliott. He shares his bone-chilling inspiration behind his first three novels, along with his upcoming book, The Lowerline. We'll also discuss his favorite haunted New Orleans mansion and learn a little about the history behind the most haunted city in America. Lock the door so the Axe Murderer can't get you and pull up a seat At the Fire.

A very special thank you to our guest, Todd C. Elliott, for taking time out of his busy schedule to share his stories.

Happy Valentine's Day! Here is a creepy story to help remind us that just because Hallmark tried to make this holiday warm, fuzzy, and full of love, there are still nefarious characters lurking about.

Love Ben & Jill

Ever wonder what goes on inside the mind of a child? Are their odd comments and mutterings to themselves innocent and imaginative or is it something more sinister? At the Fire is proud to present our first episode as part of the Screaming Pods Network, Episode 16: Creepy Kids. We bring you stories from a teacher who interacts with children on a regular basis, a tale of a newly found identity in a young boy, and a tragic story of a group therapy session gone wrong. So make sure those kids are tucked in tight and not lurking around the corner. Pull up a seat, At the Fire.

How would you like to spend your childhood getting tucked in every night by the woman who died in your closet? This episode, special guest storyteller, Corinne, joins us to share her experience growing up with a ghost! Co-host Jill reminisces about the time she lived in a haunted apartment and we share one Redditor's battle with some unexplained activity inside their childhood bedroom.

This episode we take you into the heart of Peru when Redditor u/ArdenArcade's study abroad adventure turned sour. We'll also give you plenty of reasons to just down that extra Red Bull rather than stopping at the empty motel right off of the somewhat abandoned highway. And Jill shares her run-in while on a road trip with her friends from college. That's right! We're giving you plenty of reasons not to book your spring break trip this year, so dig yourself into a nice, comfy hole of blankets, and don't plan on leaving for a while, because you're hanging At the Fire.

Get those tin foil hats ready! This episode, we're shifting our attention away from the terrestrial fears of spirits, specters, and ghosts to bring you three intergalactic tales surely to leave you wondering “are we really alone?!” We'll ponder one of the most baffling alien abductions in recorded history, recount the night we saw lights in the sky, and hear about one Redditor's abduction firsthand!

Come join us At the Fire!
