Bob After Dark

Find out what happens when a group of paranormal podcasters get together to talk about what could be one of the most haunted cities in America. This week on Bob After Dark, we are doing a bonus episode from a virtual panel that way held back in May. Representing BAD was Bob and Steve. Joining them was Ghostly Podcasts Rebecca and Pat, Chicago Paranormal Historian Ursula Bielski, and moderated by Freak of the Week’s Nick Mataragas. The team discusses several of Chicagos most haunted spots including The Hancock Building, Museum of Science and Industry, and others.

Imagine you are in the deep woods, surrounded by nothing but nature. You are stranded here, and trying to find any sign of human life. In the distance, you see what looks like a telephone pole with a siren on top. The siren is playing soft music. Giving you the impression that there may be a group of people there playing the music, you head towards it. Only to see that telephone pole come to life, and start chasing you at lightning speed. You are the next victim of Siren Head. This week on Bob After Dark, Bob gets inspired by a recent phone call with a fan trying to help his kid overcome nightmares about a CreepyPasta character known as Siren Head. Learn the horrifying lore behind it, and how it is in its way to becoming the next Slenderman phenomenon.

If you are afraid of the dark then this week Bob takes a look at something that lurks in the dark that many folk have claimed to see…The Man in the Hat. Learn some history and potential truth to the most infamous shadow person, and judge for yourself if he is a hallucination or very real. From sleep paralysis, to potential legit hauntings, are shadow people real? Are they being lead by a man in a hat? Stories vary if he is real.  Or even his descriptions.

Last week, we talked about famed paranormal investigator Harry Price. This week, we look at the most important paranormal investigation of his career, and what could be the most important of all time. Back in 1929, Price stayed at the rectory for one full year and investigated it daily. This was one of the first real publicized investigations, and really pioneered that sort of work for what we have today.

Chances are if you turn on the TV these days you will find some sort of paranormal investigation show. There are a lot of them, and they all have different spins on what they are talking about. However, like anything else, there is an origin story. This week we learn about the life and times of Harry Price. The world’s first celebrity ghost hunter. Bob reads the story in first person, as if he is Harry Price. These details talk about the man whom would be the most interesting figure in the paranormal history. Eclectic does not even scratch the surface. Hans Holzer, move over. This is a story about betrayal, sadness, and a media frenzy!
