CARMAN'S CRYPT

Send us a text

Tonight, we have a very special Halloween tale for you. A story about traditions, about consequences, and about what happens when you refuse to honor the spirits that walk on All Hallows' Eve. 

You see, Halloween isn't just about costumes and candy. It's an ancient night, a night when the veil between the living and the dead grows thin. A night when the departed can walk among us, seeking what was denied to them in life.

And some spirits... some spirits are very, very persistent. 

So dim your lights, lock your doors, and whatever you do—if you hear a knock tonight, you might want to answer it. 

Because in tonight's tale, we'll learn that some debts must be paid. And some visitors won't take no for an answer. 

This is "Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet."

Season 2, Episode 50: "The Pumpkin Patch"

(This story is a fun one that is safe for the kiddos)

Welcome back to another terrifying tale from Carman's Crypt, creeps and ghouls!

This week, we're heading to Holloway's Pumpkin Patch—where the pumpkins are plump, the prices are unbeatable, and the fertilizer is...suspiciously fresh. When Cody and Mindy Chen venture into an abandoned patch two weeks before Halloween looking for the perfect jack-o'-lantern, they discover that some crops have a hunger all their own.

What starts as a simple errand turns into a nightmare of writhing roots, rolling gourds with human faces, and the horrifying realization that this season's bumper crop needed very special nutrients to grow so large. And now that Cody has touched one of the pumpkins, they know his scent. They know where he lives. And they're always looking for next year's fertilizer...

So grab your carving knives and lock your doors, because tonight we're asking the question: what really happens to all those missing persons every October? The answer might just be growing in a field near you.

Remember, kiddies: this Halloween, pick your pumpkins carefully...because they might just pick you back.

Warning: Contains visceral horror, body horror elements, and disturbing imagery. Listener discretion is advised.

Season 2, Episode 49: "Where She Lies"

In this bone-chilling episode of Carman's Crypt, we follow Lucy as she takes what should be a simple autumn hike through Snowbird Forest—the woods she's known since childhood. But when she discovers a trail of shoes leading deep into the trees, she stumbles upon a horror that has been hidden for fifteen years: the unmarked grave of Sarah Chen, a teenage girl who vanished without a trace during a camping trip and was never found.

What begins as a terrifying discovery becomes something far worse when Lucy realizes the dead don't rest peacefully when they've been forgotten. Sarah can't speak—the dead never can—but through horrifying sounds and visions transferred by her cold, decaying touch, she makes Lucy understand the desperate loneliness of dying alone in the dark, and the unbearable weight of being buried and abandoned.

As Sarah's spirit follows Lucy home, manifesting in reflections and shadows, Lucy must decide whether to reveal what she's found and finally give Sarah the burial and remembrance she deserves—or keep silent and live forever haunted by the girl who refuses to be forgotten again.

Join us for a visceral tale of autumn horror, where twisted trees mark unmarked graves, and some discoveries change you forever. In the deepest part of Snowbird Forest, where the earth grows cold and the trees bend wrong, something has been waiting. And now that it's been found, it will never let go.

Content warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of death, decay, and burial, as well as themes of murder and long-term missing persons cases.

Season 2, Episode 48

Welcome to another chilling episode of Carman's Crypt. Tonight, we share a listener submission from Dan Matthews of Lakewood, Ohio, who reached out to us with a story that will make you question everything you thought you knew about grief, memorials, and what might linger after death.

Dan's best friend Mike lost his wife and daughter in a tragic car accident—one that Mike survived and blamed himself for. In his grief, Mike commissioned an eerily lifelike sculpture of his lost family, spending his life insurance settlement on the memorial. What started as a coping mechanism quickly spiraled into something Dan still struggles to explain.

Moving figures. Whispered accusations. A sculpture that returned from the landfill on its own. And now, weeks after Mike's death, Dan finds himself experiencing the same inexplicable phenomena that drove his friend to despair.

Is this a tale of profound psychological breakdown, or is there truly something that can cross back from the other side? Dan himself doesn't know anymore. His lifelong skepticism about the supernatural has been shattered, leaving him terrified and questioning reality itself.

Listener discretion is advised. This episode contains themes of death, grief, and psychological distress.

Join us in the Crypt, if you dare.

Season 2, Episode 47: "The Screen-Eater"

Welcome back to the Crypt, dear listeners. Tonight's tale comes to us from the year 2525, a cautionary folktale about a young man named Kai who lives in a world of endless screens and glowing windows. When Kai becomes so entranced by his digital devices that he can no longer see the real world around him, he attracts the attention of something ancient and hungry lurking in the depths of the city's cables—the Screen-Eater. This digital demon feeds on the life force of those who lose themselves in endless scrolling, gaming, and streaming, trapping their souls in an infinite maze of content. As Kai disappears deeper into his screens, only his grandmother's memories of the old ways can save him from becoming just another empty husk, forever consuming but never truly living.

So dim your own screens for a moment, listeners, and join me as we explore what happens when our tools become our masters, and when the very windows that promise to show us everything end up showing us nothing at all. Sweet dreams... and remember to look up from your devices once in a while.

Runtime: 23 minutes

Episode Title: "The Last Ward"

In this chilling episode of Carman's Crypt, we follow Zayne Thibodaux, a desperate security guard who takes a night shift at an abandoned New Orleans hospital with a dark secret. What starts as easy money quickly becomes a supernatural nightmare when Zayne discovers he's not alone on the seventh floor. The building holds the angry spirits of 45 Hurricane Katrina victims who died in sweltering heat during the storm's chaotic aftermath—patients and staff forgotten by history and misunderstood by the media.

As phantom hands grab at him through suffocating air and the sounds of rising water echo through empty halls, Zayne uncovers the tragic truth about Memorial Medical Center's darkest days. Based on the real events of Hurricane Katrina, this story explores the thin line between mercy and murder, and asks: what happens when the dead refuse to let their stories be forgotten?

Join us for a haunting tale of remembrance, redemption, and the ghosts that New Orleans can never quite lay to rest. Some wounds run deeper than floodwater—and some truths are too important to bury.

Content warning: This episode deals with themes related to Hurricane Katrina, medical ethics, and end-of-life care.

Carman's Crypt Season 2 Episode 45: "The Dark Hours" 

This week in the Crypt, we follow Katherine "Kat" Hightower, a 28-year-old graphic designer whose crippling fear of darkness has ruled her life since childhood. Armed with enough lights to power a small city and a carefully constructed routine designed to keep the shadows at bay, Sarah has managed to build what looks like a normal life. But when a power outage traps her in her apartment during the longest night of the year, she discovers that some childhood fears exist for good reason. What's been waiting in the darkness for twenty years is finally ready to finish what it started. A psychological horror that asks whether our deepest fears protect us or destroy us, "The Dark Hours" explores the thin line between paranoia and survival. 

Content Warning: This episode contains descriptions of childhood trauma, stalking behavior, home invasion, and intense psychological terror.

Carman's Crypt Season 2 Episode 44: "They Come When It Rains"

This week in the Crypt, we follow seventeen-year-old Nate who spent his entire summer working at Buster's Burgers to earn his first car - a jacked-up Toyota Tacoma that represents everything he's worked for. When his boss gives him the last weekend of summer off, Nate finally gets to join his friends on their long-planned camping trip to Devil's Lake. 

But what starts as a celebration of teenage independence turns into a nightmare when an unexpected rainstorm awakens something ancient in the woods. As Nate recalls his Italian grandmother's chilling folktale about creatures that "come when it rains," the boys discover that some family stories are warnings, not just entertainment. When their friend Tristan vanishes in the night, Nate and Ethan must face the terrifying reality that something is using their friend's voice to lure them deeper into the darkness. A coming-of-age story that takes a deadly turn, "When It Rains" explores the cost of growing up and the price of survival.

Content Warning: This episode contains descriptions of missing persons, creature horror, and psychological terror.

Season 2, Episode 43: "Until Death Do Us Part" 

Welcome back to Carman's Crypt, where chrome meets the paranormal and horsepower haunts the highway. Tonight's tale takes us into the digital age of automotive terror, where our smartphones sync with more than just our calendars.

Marcus thought his uncle's final gift—a pristine BMW 7 Series—would be a blessing. But when a clifftop confrontation over his infidelity ends in tragedy, claiming his pregnant fiancée, Sarah, the restored luxury sedan becomes something far more sinister. Sarah's spirit doesn't just haunt the car; she becomes it, using every sensor, every GPS coordinate, every biometric reading to expose Marcus's lies and exact her revenge.

In a world where our cars know our every move, track our vital signs, and store our most intimate data, what happens when love scorned goes digital? Tonight, we explore how modern technology has given ghosts new ways to reach beyond the grave... and why some connections can never be severed.

Buckle up, listeners. This ride ends where it began—at the edge of a cliff, with a choice between redemption and damnation. But in Sarah's haunted BMW, the only destination programmed is justice.

Rev your engines... if you dare.
