The Gremlin. From a murky piece of Chinese folklore to alleged WWII arial battles, to the adorable sliver screen terror, these strange entities have infested our imaginations. But is there a potential reality to these mischievous critters? Beyond the tongue and check news articles and propaganda of the 40s, were gremlins in reality, a unique manifestation of trickster phenomena - particularly prone, in this incarnation, to affect machinery and technology? Perhaps even living in the air?

In the fog-filled alleys of Victorian London, amidst the suit-stained brick, the light of gas lamps flicker, haunting the night with shadows, creating phantoms dark as pitch.

By 1838, rumors of ghosts and devils reported in villages beyond the bustling city have now breached London, and the alleys team with whispers of “Spring Heeled Jack”.

With red eyes and breath of blue flame, he tears at his victims with claws of iron, before vanishing into the night. And nearly two centuries later, the mystery remains unsolved!

Join us as we comb through the history, and attempt to separate the fake from folklore, to uncover the reality behind London’s first real Urban Legend, Spring-Heeled Jack.

Join us on this episode of Belief Hole for Camp Creepy 4, where we share true tales of the unsettling and unexplainable and make camp at the edge of the unknown!

As the nights edge toward Autumn, bonfires burn and voices whisper, of nameless THINGS that stalk between the trees, the flames become a beacon for lost souls and strange creatures once driven deep into the forest, now long forgotten. But tonight as the campfire dances and casts contorting shadows that crack against the tree line, Your campfire, once a safe harbor of warmth and light, has become a beacon for the dark.

The neighborhood is alive with the sounds of the season. It’s Halloween, a time for managed mischief and macabre fun, when parents watch vigilantly as kids carry their pillow sacks like body bags from door to door, searching for their next victim as they threaten 'trick or treat. But as you take a break from the party and smiling, step out into the dark of the night, just remember, this time of year, The darkness is smiling back.

From roadside reapers and disembodied hands, to uninvited guests, that creep in costume through your home, join us on this episode of Belief Hole, as we peer through the gloom and watch for intruders from beyond the veil.

These days, we see magic as illusion, and evil erased by reason. But did Real witches ever really… exist? By the late 1600s, many innocents had been sacrificed on the altar of fear and suspicion, and the fevered thirst for the hunting of witches was dying.

But in quiet dark places, real and wicked witchery was at work and devilish deals were made, and on one cold morning in Edinburgh, a pious pillar of the community would make a horrifying confession that would again stoke the flames of the reality of the witch.

Join us on this episode of Belief Hole as we scour the deserts of the Southwest and explore the astral battlegrounds of cryptic Italian cults, for true tales of cursed earth, spirit sending, and spellcraft.

As we near Halloween, join us as we explore some of the more terrifying Ouija Board accounts from listeners who were brave enough to recount their chilling experiences with this all-too-familiar occult ritual.  From angry ghosts and demons to other inexplicably paranormal events.  Some experiences stay with them a lifetime and have the power to destroy families.  Our advice... Don't mess with the Ouija Board.  And if you do... Be prepared for something akin to a haunting, that was brought on by yourself.   You are opening a doorway to dimensions you cannot understand.  You have been warned! 

IMAGINE... Your parents have left, you’ve got the place to yourself tonight. Your friends are coming over and one of them bringing the game. You dim the lights, they light candles. a lettered board is laid on the floor.. and beneath your fingers, the planchette begins to wake. Before long, your call out out through the dark is heard.

Some… thing pulls itself from the dark corners of the room and joins your circle, and its grinning as it.. puts its fingers next to yours

Join us, on this episode of Belief Hole, as we travel down the Dark alley of Ouija History and recount untold, harrowing true tales of Ouija Board Horror and the Deceiving Dead
