Bob After Dark

This week on Bob After Dark, our hosts dive into a topic that preys upon a fear a lot of us have, be caught off guard. Whether you hear a knock on your door, or maybe your car window, sometimes you may fear what you are going to see. In this case, you look to see a couple of kids. They are persistent in asking you for a favor. However, when you notice that their eyes are missing and replaced with black spheres, you come up with a reason to leave the situation. These kids become persistent in letting them in until they go away. You just got paid a visit by the Black-Eyed Children. Join us this week as we talk about a couple of eerie encounters. This story was made famous by one, Brian Bethel, a Texas reporter who claims he saw them in Abilene, Texas. Joining us this week is Pat from Ghostly Podcast.

Stop me if you heard this one before…You pick up a hitchhiker, only for them to leave something of theirs behind. You go to drop it back off to them, only to find out they have been dead for 5 years. This is a classic ghost story trope known as The Vanishing Hitchhiker. This week, Bob is joined by Pat from Ghostly Podcast and looks at three if these tales that take place all over the world. We ask if these stories are just stories or if there is some truth behind them. We discuss, briefly, several stories from around the world, including one of America’s most famous ghost stories…Resurrection Mary.

No studio, No problem. The pandemic is rearing its ugly head, and causing mass issues around the world. We intend to keep moving forward, though! You all deserve to be entertained. Bob may be displaced for a moment, but not one to give up, we are bringing you a special episode this week. As featured on a live recording with Ghostly Podcast, the two teams join up to talk about The Old Chicago Cemetery and other strange happenings around the Lincoln Park Zoo. We are not talking about ghost giraffes either. Real ghost sightings! In a bathroom no less.  The two teams are joined by Jack Blu, a local paranormal historian. This was recorded live at Podcast Central at C2E2 this year, and needless to say, it was a huge success.

The show must go on. Even though Bob has had to move his recording space, for the time being, it does not mean that he is done with his episodes. The great podcasters over at Ghostly have let Bob in, and he was ready to go. With the Count and Anthony out dealing with the pandemic, Bob found a new co-host. Pat from Ghostly has joined him. This week, continuing Fae Lore Month, the boys talk about The Tooth Fairy. Her strange origin story, and the background you may not know. The Tooth Fairy's lore can date back to early France and Spain, where children believed a small mouse would come and remove teeth from their mouth in exchange for a small token. We also look at the occult aspects of teeth. How Magik users look at the metaphysical significances behind tooth loss.  

This week, the team continue Fae Lore Month with talks of The Brownies. House Fae who tend to keep busy with chores. Little do you know, however, these housekeepers are dangerous and quick to get angered. Also joining us is Steve Michaels, a professional wrestler/paranormal investigator. He comes with exciting news about his wrestling career, and we get to share some laughs. Little do you know that we are not talking about the pastry, but the little creatures whom even pop up in popular culture. Dobbie, popular character from Harry Potter, would be considered a Brownie.
