Bob After Dark

In the year 1817, a family had run into some bad luck with some sort of entity. This entity was said to torment the daughter, kill the father, and come back every generation or so to torment the family. This family’s last name was Bell, and this entity would be come to known as The Bell Witch. This is one of Bob’s favorite paranormal stories of all time, and we look at what could have exactly went on at that farm. We get insight on what could have been a guardian demon, and even a familiar John Bell shot at. This gets so wild, that even a former president could have been involved.

The Bob After Dark team answers a challenge issued to them from their friends at the Ghostly Podcast. They were challenged to talk about an old Chicago legend, The Devil Baby of Hull House. Join them as they look at the facts of the story and try to learn the weird history of it. This was a major news frenzy story of its time. Word got out that there could be some sort of demon baby being harbored at the Hull House, and there was a constant barrage of news articles being written about it. This was one of the first time we see the paranormal making it into main news sources. We also tell a tale of what could have happened to the Baby, when a mysterious hooved and horned man danced the night away at a Bridgeport Dance hall and escaped into the night.

Bob sits down with Ron Fitzgerald, a dark magician that is a master of more than just the dark arts. They talk about his occult inspired magic act, his horror film career, and the history of the paranormal and stage magic.
