Bob After Dark

Bob's back from Magfest! So, we want to talk about a spooky video game story. Instead of a creepypasta, why don't we look at at a story that may actual be true. An Easter Egg in the background of Loki and The Simpsons, it's an arcade cabinet. The story dates back to the 1970s with kids getting sick while playing games, and men in black collecting data instead of quarters. It even leads back to MK ULTRA, a bizarre FBI and CIA mind control project.

We gave Count Panek a chance to pick an episode, and he chose a cryptid we never discussed before. This week we travel to Scotland to a big body of water named Loch Ness. This body of water is famously home to supposedly a prehistoric creature. Over the past hundred years, tourists have flocked there to catch a glimpse of the creature. Despite sceptics believing that it doesn't exist, there are some actual scientific research that proves something large can exist in those waters. The most popular theory is that it could be a giant eel. Also, circus elephants? However, the theory that interests us the possibility it could be something related to a prehistoric era. In this episode we take a look at the possibility it could be a Plesiosaur or a descendant of. Also joining us is Steve Michaels, pro-wrestler with Ohio Valley Wrestling.

It's November, which you would think means spooky season is over. However, let me tell you...spooky season never ends on Bob After Dark! This month we are talking to paranormal investigators and learning the stories behind them. Their backstory, what makes them tick, and of course...what the paranormal means to them. To kick off this month, we talk to our pal Steve Michaels. Old fans know him as the original co-host of Bob After Dark, and now he is back. He tells us his story of beginning his career as a paranormal investigator, and how he went from reading a Time Life book about ghosts to starting his journey. Learn about how the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico changed his life, and started him off. Pro-Wrestling and ghosts....what better combination exists?

To round out spooky season and haunted places you can perform at, we look at one of the biggest places you can perform at, Las Vegas. Specifically, The Luxor Hotel/Casino. The Luxor is known for a lot of strange and spooky happenings. Can it be related to a curse? Find out more in this episode when we team up with Pro-Wrestling Superstar Steve Michaels. Also! We are celebrating our 3 year anniversary.

New York City! The Big Apple! One of America's largest cities, and probably one of the most traveled to. A big draw for NYC is the shows you can see on Broadway. This week, we look at Broadway's Palace Theatre! Apparently home to well over 100 ghosts including Judy Garland.

Comedy is one of the world's best escapes from reality. However what happens when you attend a comedy club that doesn't allow you to escape your fate of death? This week, we take a look at The Comedy Store. One of LA's most popular and iconic comedy clubs. There is story of ghost heckler's and audience members.

Welcome to spooky season, Children of the Night! To kick off the month, we're going to be looking at one of the most haunted venues in the Midwest. Ever been to Milwaukee? It's a wonderful city filled with beer, cheese, Brewers, and Pabst Blue Ribbon. Well, in Milwaukee, we have a very old venue that once held the largest gathering of an organization. The Eagles is a fraternity that does a lot of charity work, and their main headquarters was once in this building. Over the years, it was a: HQ, sporting gym, homeless shelter, ballroom, and now a music venue. Also, like any building we talk about on this show, it has a lot of tragic death. Considered to be one of the most haunted places to play a concert, staff says there isn't one band who hasn't had a weird experience there. Everything from children hiding in coat racks, a strange mist hovering around a now defunct swimming pool...this building has everything.
