Am I the Haunted? | Paranormal Podcast

In our first-ever "Am I the Haunted?" episode inspired by the popular "Am I the Asshole?" format, we read three Reddit submissions and decide whether people are experiencing genuine paranormal activity using our new scale of haunted, probably haunted, or not haunted.

Our first story comes from someone who moved into a new house and feels an overwhelming anxiety in their small office-turned-bedroom, bursting into tears the first time they stepped in and experiencing constant anxious spirals whenever they enter the room, with prayers and rebuking negative energy failing to provide relief.

The second submission involves a person who woke up in the middle of the night to feel a mysterious presence in their pitch-black room, sensing someone standing there before feeling their mattress sink as if something placed a single foot on the bed to hoist itself up—yet nothing ultimately happened despite the mix of fear and curiosity they experienced.

Our final story features someone convinced they're spreading a curse through their favorite book, which they've recommended to five different people including their boyfriend, best friends, and cousin—with every single person having a massive falling out with them within days to a month after borrowing the book, leading them to wonder if there's something supernatural at play.

The Weeping Woman - La Llorona | Paranormal Podcast

This week, we explore the Weeping Woman - La Llorona, who wanders along rivers and lakes throughout Mexico, the American Southwest, and Latin America, forever crying out for her lost children with her signature wail of "Ay, mis hijos!"

We trace the possible origins of this vengeful ghost back to the 1500s in Mexico City, examining connections to Aztec mythology including the Hungry Woman and the goddess Cihuacoatl, before diving into the most common version of the tale about a beautiful peasant woman named Maria who married a wealthy nobleman, had two children, but was ultimately abandoned for a younger woman—leading her to drown her children in a jealous rage and then take her own life in the same river.

We discuss how La Llorona serves multiple purposes across different age groups: teaching young children not to misbehave or cry excessively, warning teenagers about staying out past curfew and the dangers of wandering at night, and representing deeper themes of regret, misogyny, and social pressure for adults.

Then, we share four chilling real-life encounters including a Guatemalan family whose 3-year-old was found drenched in an outdoor sink with a mysterious woman figure, a Texas deputy who heard wailing near the Colorado River that would stop only when he shined his flashlight on the water, and an 11-year-old El Paso boy who woke at 4 AM to hear bloodcurdling screams of "Help, help, mis hijos" coming from a nearby ditch while all the neighborhood animals howled in response.

Throwback Files: Fresno Nightcrawler | Paranormal Podcast

In this month's throwback episode, we head back to Fresno and visit Charlie's sworn enemy, the Fresno Nightcrawler.

About the Fresno Nightcrawler:

The Fresno Nightcrawler is a popular cryptid from folklore, known from grainy videos of strange, white, leg-like figures with no visible heads or arms, resembling "walking pants" that glide across yards, originating from a 2007 Fresno sighting that went viral, sparking theories of aliens or interdimensional beings.

Greek Gods | Paranormal Podcast

In this Greek gods episode timed with the Winter Olympics, we explore the fascinating world of Greek mythology starting with the origin story of the three most powerful gods—Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades—who were born to the Titan Cronus and his wife Rhea during the Golden Age, though Cronus attempted to eat all his children after a prophecy warned he'd be overthrown by his sons, leading Zeus to eventually free his brothers and defeat their father.

We discuss the 12 great Olympians including Zeus (the serial cheater who ruled the sky), Hera (his perpetually angry sister-wife and goddess of marriage), Athena (the brilliant goddess of wisdom who burst fully formed from Zeus's head), Dionysus (the fun-loving god of wine and theater who was gestated in Zeus's thigh after his mother exploded), and several compelling minor gods like Hecate (goddess of magic and crossroads) and Pan (the half-goat satyr god of wilderness).

We share captivating myths including Hades kidnapping Persephone with pomegranate seeds that created the seasons, Prometheus stealing fire for humanity and suffering eternal punishment, and the tragic tale of Arachne, who challenged Athena to a weaving contest with devastating consequences.

Creature Feature: Vol 6 | Paranormal Podcast

*This is volume 6...I need you to promise me that you'll ignore all the times I say *5* in this episode*

In Creature Feature Volume 6, we dive into four unsettling listener submissions, starting with Cecil from Texas, who was letting his dogs out around 10pm when he noticed something watching him over the fence—at first he thought it was his neighbor's birdhouse, but this canine-shaped thing with a disturbing smile disappeared the next night even though the birdhouse remained.

We then hear from Jasmine in North Carolina, who drove 30 minutes outside her college town with her boyfriend Jake to stargaze in a remote area with only 600 people, but their romantic night turned terrifying when they heard bipedal footsteps pacing along the treeline in the darkness, stalking them until Jake shone his flashlight and told Jasmine to calmly walk back to the car—a experience so disturbing that Jake refused to ever speak about it again, leaving us wondering what he actually saw.

Julia's story takes us to Washington state in 2017, where an argument with her sister led her to take a late-afternoon hike on the Cascade trails, only to experience complete silence in the forest followed by heavy breathing from something tall and dark that moved with unnatural fluidity and eventually revealed itself as a massive 7-foot-tall creature covered in dark matted hair that hunted her through the woods, forcing her to sprint back to her car.

Finally, we explore Zachary's multiple encounters on his rural southwest Ohio property near the Indiana border, where late-night experiences included walking directly into an invisible entity so solid it knocked him to the ground, witnessing a bright neon green mass shoot from the sky into a cornfield, and spotting what appeared to be a silverback gorilla-like creature with long thick hair standing perfectly still against a tree—encounters that left both him and his wife too terrified to go outside at night.

January 2026 Bizarre News | Paranormal Podcast

In this month's Bizarre News, we cover four wild stories starting with the shocking case of Jonathan Gerlach from Philadelphia, who was arrested after police discovered skulls, arm and leg bones, mummified hands and feet, and two actively decomposing torsos in his possession—along with approximately 100 bodies worth of bones stored throughout his home after he'd broken into 26 mausoleums at the Mount Mariah cemetery over several months.

We then head down under to Western Australia where six miners working at a remote Fortescue Metals Group site spotted what they're convinced was a genuine UFO around 5am—a perfectly triangular-shaped object racing across the morning sky that definitely wasn't a helicopter, with the region becoming something of a hotspot for extraterrestrial activity including a recent discovery of a large cylindrical object ablaze in the remote wilderness.

Next, we dive into Hyundai's controversial plan to build 30,000 robots annually starting in 2028 at their Georgia factory to replace human workers across multiple industries, a move that has unions furious and raises serious concerns about job displacement despite the company's determination to move forward regardless of labor opposition.

Finally, we explore the terrifying situation of a family in India's Gaya district who fled their home after experiencing unexplained fires for seven consecutive days that damaged rooms, clothes, bedding, and even their kitchen stove—with the family believing the mysterious blazes began after they refused bread to a wandering holy man (a Sadhu) who became enraged, cursed them, and specifically declared their house would catch on fire before leaving.

Terrified Together with Will Soto of the Red Treehouse Podcast

In this Terrified Together collaboration with Will from the Red Tree House podcast, we explore two fascinating listener submissions, starting with Zach's UFO encounters in Colorado.

Zach's first sighting occurred during late winter or early spring 2018 while stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on I-70, when he spotted a massive flying wing with camouflage technology that made only its outlines visible—like the Predator's cloaking effect—slowly moving eastward toward the DIA and Buckley Air Force Base, seemingly unnoticed by other drivers despite its size and unusual appearance.

His second encounter happened on July 4th of either 2021 or 2022 when he witnessed a completely silent, wingless pod-shaped craft—roughly the size of a smart car with thin brown and orange stripes like an old Winnebago—flying just above housetops near his girlfriend's neighborhood, headed directly toward Waterton Canyon and the nearby Lockheed Martin facility.

We then hear Megan's enchanting story from northern Minnesota between 2005 and 2009, where as a young child visiting her grandparents' 100-acre property, she developed a mysterious habit of placing quarters and shiny objects under rocks near the boathouse, only to return the next day and discover her offerings had doubled—a phenomenon she suspected might be the work of the fae, though her family never believed her when she finally shared the story years later.

The Hotel Room Portal | Paranormal Podcast

In this listener submission episode, we explore three unsettling paranormal encounters starting with Taylor's story from Washington state, where at age 13 she witnessed a tall, scrawny, fuzzy black figure crouching near her bedroom door in the attic—an entity so disturbing that she kept it secret for a year until her best friend saw the exact same creature crawl down from the ceiling during a sleepover, confirming Taylor wasn't alone in her terror.

We then hear from Dani, who worked at a California zoo and became a paranormal believer after hearing mysterious whistling coming from an abandoned monorail track late one night, only to learn from a custodial worker that the sound belonged to a maintenance man who died from electrocution while working on that very monorail—a man known for whistling while he walked the dock.

Finally, we dive into Mike's experience at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas during a union election in September 2021, where he woke up paralyzed in the middle of the night to find strange animal-like sounds around his bed and a portal layered over his hotel window with creatures running through it.

The most terrifying part came when Mike looked down to see a three-foot-tall humanoid creature standing on all fours at the end of his bed—eyeless, with a flat snake-like nose, drooling mouth full of canine teeth—that snarled at him before nodding and leaping back through the closing portal, leaving him screaming for his girlfriend who believed it was sleep paralysis, though the vivid details Mike sketched suggest something far stranger may have visited his room that night.

Throwback Files: Dyatlov Pass Incident | Paranormal Podcast

It's time for another throwback Thursday! On this month's Throwback Files, we revisit the very mysterious Dyatlov Pass Incident.

About the Dyatlov Pass Incident

In February 1959, nine experienced Soviet hikers died under mysterious circumstances in the Ural Mountains after cutting their way out of their tent and fleeing into extreme cold.

Six died from hypothermia while three suffered severe traumatic injuries including skull damage and chest fractures, with some bodies found months later showing unusual soft tissue damage.

The original Soviet investigation concluded a "compelling natural force" caused the deaths, leading to decades of speculation about causes ranging from avalanches to military tests to paranormal phenomena.

Russian authorities reopened the case in 2019 and concluded in 2020 that a slab avalanche likely forced the group to evacuate their tent in panic, leading to their deaths from hypothermia and injuries sustained during their desperate attempt to survive.

Recent scientific studies have supported the avalanche theory, though the incident remains one of the most enduring mysteries in mountaineering history.

Dark Web Stories | Paranormal Podcast

This week, we dive deep into the hidden corners of the internet to explore the Dark Web—what it is, how it works, and the disturbing realities lurking beneath the surface.

We begin by breaking down the structure of the internet itself, explaining how the surface web we use daily represents only 5-10% of all online content, while the deep web makes up 90-95%, and the dark web accounts for a mere 0.1% of sites—yet it's specifically designed for complete anonymity.

We also discuss the technical side of accessing this hidden network, including how to download the Tor browser, the importance of using a VPN for protection, and the concept of "onion routing" that wraps your data in layers of encryption as it bounces through volunteer-run servers across the globe. While we acknowledge there are legitimate uses for the Dark Web—such as helping journalists and activists in oppressive regimes communicate securely and bypass government censorship—we make it clear that over half of the Dark Web is estimated to be dedicated to illegal activities, from marketplaces selling drugs, weapons, and stolen data to far more sinister operations.

The second half of our episode takes a darker turn as we share real accounts and disturbing discoveries from those who've ventured into these digital shadows, including websites selling human organs for cryptocurrency, platforms offering "human meat" with the slogan "for those with taste," and hitman services listing everything from drive-by shootings to arson.

We recount a chilling story from a Reddit user who befriended someone in a Dark Web chat room known for posting extreme gore content, only to later learn the person was fatally shot in a police raid after kidnapping a missing woman and performing an ice pick lobotomy on her to keep her compliant for his videos.
