Bob After Dark

Ever see An American Werewolf in London? Well, it's a classic horror film about an American on a trip to London who gets attacked by well...you guessed it. A Werewolf. Now, have you ever seen The Conjuring? The sort of bio-flick of Ed and Lorraine Warren. We've talked about them on the show previous, but they are world famous paranormal investigators and demonologists. What do these have in common? Well, Ed and Lorraine actually did some work on a case of a werewolf. A sort of werewolf. Meet William Ramsey. Ramsey claimed to have been possessed by a some sort of entity that gave him super strength and almost wolf like tendencies. Ramsey's case was world renowned, and caught attention of the Warrens. This episode, we bring on the great Ghostly Podcast. Hosted by Rebecca and Pat. They team up with Bob After Dark to try to solve the mystery. Was this a case of media attention? Only one way to find out...

If you're new to Bob After Dark, this episode will be quite the treat. Meet Steve Michaels. He is a professional wrestling superstar, and paranormal investigator. Steve is frequent co-host of Bob After Dark, and this time he comes with some friends. You see, Steve wrestles for a promotion called Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) out of Louisville. The promotion recently did a paranormal investigation of the midwest's most haunted locations, Waverly Hills Sanitorium. A few of the wrestlers call in to share their experiences with us. Once upon a time ago, there was a TB outbreak, and Waverly Hills was the quintessential treating spot for the disease, or rather...a place that was able to try to treat it. TB was a vicious disease, and during it's untreatable days a lot of folk died within those halls. Patients were subjected to experimental treatment that was sometimes worse than the disease itself. After closing it's doors, the hospital became a retirement home...which wasn't a pleasant place either. All of this leads one big energy foot print that may lead Waverly to be a haunted location.

You may have heard of him before on this show. In case you haven't meet James Brija. He is a practicing witch, paranormal investigator, and of course friend of our show. James came on to talk about exorcisms in Witch culture. The ways to do it, tools to use, and of course some safety tips for all of our baby witches out there.

When we came up with the concept for Exorcism Month, the one faith that came to Bob's head was the concept of Jewish Exorcisms. Where they a thing? Jumping to Google, Bob found Rabbi Geoffrey Dennis. A renowned Rabbi known for his studies into the world of Jewish Myth and Lore. Upon reaching out, this particular Rabbi emailed right back and here we are. This is one episode you won't want to miss. Learn the world of Jewish Exorcisms, and other monsters that lurk in their faith. Learn how song, and prayer can banish a bad spirit, and learn the truth behind Dybbuk and Dybbuk Boxes as well straight from the source!

What is evil? Well, we suppose that question is awfully suggestive depending on who you ask. If you ask Father Michael Maginot, he would answer it's a force that works in conjunction with demonic entities. You may recognize Father's name from one of the most high class paranormal investigations of the 21st Century, The Demon House in Gary, Indiana. The story goes that the home was haunted by several demons, and caused several members of a family to become possessed. The haunting caught the eye of paranormal investigator and TV personality, Zak Bagans, famous for his TV Show Ghost Adventures. Zak made a documentary about the story called, "Demon House" and has been seen millions of time by many folks. Father Michael was the Catholic Priest that was on scene for the case, and came on our show to discuss the side of his story. Learn how one man of the cloth went from being on call for a hospital chapel to diving head first into his first exorcism, and probably the most famous case the Catholic Church has had since the stories of the film, "The Exorcist."

Remember Tales from the Crypt? Was probably a lot of people's introduction to the world of horror and even supernatural elements. Even though it's long since canceled, people still find inspiration from the anthology story. Meet JC and Andy, creators of the paranormal/horror episodic, "Volumes of Fear". They are two content creators with the brilliant minds that are able to join the spooky with the laughter. It also helps that the two also paranormal investigators, so we get to discuss their adventures in places like: Waverly Hills Sanatorium, The Whispers Estate, and even the Roff House.

Remember last year we did an episode about the Hex Hollow Murders? Long story short, it was a famous true crime case that involved witchcraft, and in essence a witch trial story. It shocked the area surrounding the have folk who practice Pennsylvania Dutch folk magick, and it got media attention all over the world. Fast forward to modern day. Meet film maker Shane Free with Freestyle Media. He made a documentary that you can watch right now on Amazon called Hex Hollow: Witchcraft and Murder in Pennsylvania. The documentary actually has interviews with people who lived through the case, and as we find out in his interview, the strange occurrences around his film. Also in the episode we talk about littering ghost...hunters.

What's your favorite scary movie Children of the Night? Well, for us that is a tough question to answer. For our guest for this episode? Near impossible. Ivotres Littles is a Youtuber, and online personality known for her show, "Horror Movies and Beyond." A show, that I'm sure you can guess, is about horror movies. The spooky film genre is tied in with what we do in the paranormal extensively, and it is nice to tie it back in to what we do. Ivotres is a wonder personality that knows it all when it comes to the silver screen, and able to tie the spooky movies into lore that we talk about weekly on here. This week, we talk about films about dolls. Horror movies that are based on real life paranormal investigations such as, "The Conjuring" and how that will effect the paranormal world at large.

It's a new era on Bob After Dark! We are trying to get more interviews done, and get more stories being shared. This week, we feature a lovely artist by the name of Sam Sawyer or Sincerely Sam. Sam is a spooky artist who does work for tarot cards, and various other projects. She also is the creator of the animated show S.A.L.E.M and despite her not being allowed to talk about much do moves being made on the legal front with the show, she was able to share quite a bit. Also, Bob and Count Panek talk about some of the greatest cryptid hoaxes that were proven false. What is this? An April Fool's Day episode?

This week on Bob After Dark, we interview someone a little different than what we are used to on the show. Meet Anthony "LibrarianNPC" DeMinico. Anthony is the creator of the RPG Game "GhastBashers" a game where you play a character you create that hunts paranormal entities. We have never talked about a RPG before, and for those whose are unaware, a RPG is a game where you play a game how you want in any style you want as a character you create. A roleplaying experience. The theme of the game meets Supernatural, Ghostbusters, SCP, and X-Files, and we couldn't let that go untalked about! Also, for the lore of the week we talk about the Tengu. A Japanese Yokai, or Deity, that is half man half bird. This creature is not one to be messed with. A master of martial arts, and combat.
