Ever read a Sherlock Holmes book by the name of, "The Hound of the Baskervilles"? Well, if you have, you may have a mental image already of what this weeks topic is. Imagine, if you will, a broad country side. Grass, hills, and abandoned farm land as far as the eye can see. Not a not of people live here, but it is a famous tourist attraction for a get a way. This is one spot that seems to have been forgotten by time. A place...where the paranormal lurks. This week on Bob After Dark, we look at the land of Dartmoor England. A place of Pixies, magik rocks, and The Devil himself lurks.

Have you ever been somewhere...that was not a where? Meaning, have you ever been to a place that does not, or should not exist? Or, perhaps, you've been in a situation somewhere where something so odd happens, that you can not explain? This week, we talk about places that don't exist. Stories ranging from an active town with no one in it, climbing a hill that was never there, and a family eating dinosaur pancakes with a strange new mansion across the way.

We have a very special episode this week! Joining is the star of the hit paranormal show, "Oddity Files" Kitsie Duncan. She has a new show coming out called, "Paranormal Crossroads" which is a show that is about bringing closure with the spirit world. Instead of the run of the mill supernatural investigation show, they go in and try to calm a haunting and try to figure out what is there. There was a lot of laughter, learning about spiritual healing methods known as Reiki, and shared some origin stories.

Pooka. The designated driver from Hell. The late night ride for anyone out past their bed time performing in some sort of debauchery. We are nearing the end of the Fae Lore Month, and talking about the legendary Pooka. This creature is known for getting drunks, workers of the night, and various performers of adultery to hop on it's back and take a wild ride. These things run fast, cause weather changes, and if provoked? Can cause the Pookah wrath. Including making chickens unable to lay eggs, and cause cows to produce spoiled milk. In the news segment, we talk about magnetic fields, aliens becoming close to being declared real, and which celerity would you pick to deal with an alien invasion/meeting.

St. Patrick's Day is around once more, and we figured we would celebrate Fae Lore Month with something very special. Probably the most popular Fae creature of all time, the Leprechaun, is this week's topic. Join the BAD team as they look at this being's past. Everything from sightings in Portland Oregon, and even the Mobile Alabama Leprechaun has a moment to be shown.

A horse is a...uh...horse of course? Right? Well, maybe not all the time. This week kicks off Fae Lore month! The entire month of March we celebrate all things lore from world of the Fae Realm. Now, we are conditioned to look at Fae as creatures such as a tiny being with wings that children tell fables about. Truth is, not all Fae are considered equal. In this episode, we look at a horse type Fae that have a dangerous side. The Kelpie is known as a Fae creature that is known to lure in people by shapeshifting, and well...bringing them into water to eat them. The Kelpie originate from Scotland, and their stories and abilities vary from region to region.

We got a couple guests this week joining Bob and The Count. Lara Bates and Emma Rose of from The Challenger Learning Center. The Challenger Learning Center is a space simulation learning experience where they take people and simulate a real space exploration mission. From the communications at ground control, to the life support crew, and even the people that take care of controlling the experiment equipment, this is a real immersive experience. Lara and Emma have asked to come onto the show to help promote their Center's big fundraising time, and they did not come empty handed. Bob found an article discussing some of the unexplained and spooky occurrences found in space, and asks our panel of experts to discuss their reasonings for what was seen. Everything from space snakes, to weird knocking noises, this is one episode you won't want to miss! Big thanks to Lara Bates and Emma Rose, the Communications Coordinator of the Challenger Learning Center for coming on.

Imagine you are hanging out in a familiar spot. Mall, arcade, or even just a friends house. Maybe you are at some location for work, or even your own home. You are lazily leaning against a wall, when suddenly...You clip out of existence. Yo are transported to an area that looks like just a forgotten add on to a room. Old non-finished carpet, old dried wall paper, and just a feeling of being some place forgotten. Some place forbidden. You call out for help, but only a hear growl back. You hear that growl coming closer...You try to run but only find yourself running through an area that look very similar to the last. This is loop. You are in a plane of existence...the Back Room. The back room creepy pasta structure is common story telling trope online which someone falls through a wall, clipping themselves out of reality and end up in these backrooms. Once there, writers create a universe using this area. Some stories leave their characters a lone, some are pitted against some sort of monster type creature. Either way, this place is not one you would like to come into. Bob reads two stories about the backrooms from aspiring paranormal writers, and shares his thoughts on how this sort relates to the SCP Foundation's Never Ending Ikea. Bob also has three news stories this week. The first one is about a young poet in Scotland, Len Pennie, whom is raising a campaign to help remember folks who were executed during the Scotland Witch Trials. The second story gives us an idea of what and how the dinosaurs came to being extinct. Finally, Bob and the Count look at a mysterious hole that opened up on Mars.

Creepy Pasta Story Month is upon us, Children of the Night. This is the month were we celebrate all things internet spooky telling. Creepy Pastas are modern lore written by writers who have the foundations for creating stories that will last a long time and be the building blocks for paranormal stories in the future. Some of these leave you with the idea that this could be potentially true. Some are just stories. This week for kick off, we look at a infamous creepy past, Sonic.exe. This story tells of two friends who are haunted a by a bootleg copy of Sonic the Hedgehog (Sega Genesis) that holds a dark secret...a evil spirit that can creep from virtual world to the real one. Hear Bob read the story, and hear his take on a story that features, get this, hyper realistic blood. Also joining the team is Scott Forsythe, the creator of Haunted Honey with Bee Guyz. Find out about his bee keeping job, and how it took a paranormal turn when he discovered combs in haunted cemeteries in New Orleans. You can find out more about haunted honey here:

New Jersey is home to a few things. Skee-ball, Kevin Smith, a certain shore, and one of the most haunted stretches of road in America. This week on Bob After Dark, we look at Clinton Road. There are many ghost encounters that are said to occur on the road. Including: A ghost boy who throws change at you, ghost trucks that want to run you off the road, and ghost giraffes. Also found there was a body left behind by serial killer, Richard Kuklinski (The Ice Man).
