  • Hellhounds - The Black Shuck (Ep. 35)

    In this week's episode, we'll be talking about a canine breed from Hell, known as Hellhounds.  This is definitely not a dog you walk up to and pet.  In fact, if you see one, you may just lose your life.  They are believed to be dogs that serve demons and they hunt souls to take them to Hell.  The old adage, "his bark is worse than his bite" does not hold true with this guy.  Though his howl is bone chilling, he is known to shred his victim to pieces in order to collect his/her soul.  Pray he does not have your scent.

  • Thunderbirds - The Winged Spirit (Ep. 32)

    In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the massive winged creature known as the Thunderbird.  From Native American lore, this creature ruled the skies and the upper world as a God in animal form.  In cryptozoology, the Thunderbird could be a remnant of the Teratorns, which have been extinct for over 10,000 years.  Whatever it is, it has made several appearances throughout the US and in some cases, has attempted to snatch children from their yards.  This is one big bird that has nothing to do with Sesame Street!

  • Ouija Board - Zozo's Playground (Ep. 31)

    In this week's episode, we'll be talking about a spirit board, or talking board, known to most as the Ouija Board.  This "game" was designed to communicate with the dead, but it has proven time and time again that it's really just evil entities playing with you.  The concept of the board is simple, but what you conjure up may be way more than you anticipated.  Be very careful and hope that you don't encounter ZoZo!!

    In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Pukwudgie of the Wampanoag lore.  You might mistake him as a friendly porcupine, but you'd soon learn that it isn't just the quills that you would have to deal with.  This little humanoid used to be a prankster, but now he just wants to see you end up dead.  Whether it's by poison arrow, spear, knife or luring you to a cliff or other dangerous place, rest assured he only wants the worst for you.  Listen in to learn more about this malevolent creature.

  • Black Eyed Children - If Eyes Could Kill (Ep. 29)

    In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Black Eyed Children (Black Eyed Kids).  These creepy kids have a knack for showing up when you least expect them, then they ask for some type of assistance, be it using a phone or getting a ride.  They need your permission to enter your home or vehicle (much like the lore of Vampires).  But make no mistake, if you allow them entry, there may be some tragic consequences.  Be very careful if a child you don't know asks for help and needs to get in your home or car.  Make sure you can see their eyes.  If they're black....send them packing!!!

  • Melon Heads - The Backwoods Bobbleheads (Ep. 28)

    In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Melon Heads of Connecticut, Michigan and Ohio.  These grotesque, mutant, feral, cannibalistic people are said to live in the forests, mountains and caverns in remote areas of the states. Sometimes they emerge to attack unsuspecting people.  You may be kidnapped to be eaten or to potentially provide their community with offspring.  Could these monsters actually be children that suffered relentless torture at the hands of a madman, commissioned by the government?  Listen in and see what you think.

  • The Three Legged Woman - My Rotting Appendage (Ep. 27)

    In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Three Legged Woman of Nash Road in Mississippi.  Stories will vary, but this ghostly entity has sewn another leg onto her hip.  Was it the leg of her lover, her husband or her daughter?  We may never know the whole story, but if you drive out to Nash Road and summon her, she just may appear and you can ask her for yourself.  That is, if you have the guts.  She's awfully scary looking and has quite the temper.  She may also think that you are the one that killed her daughter and she will chase you while slamming her body into your car.  Be careful with this one!

    In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Urban Legend of the Bunnyman.  He haunts the Colchester Overpass in Fairfax County, Virginia.  He just may lure you onto the railroad tracks or attack you with his axe, either way, the outcome is not a good one.  You may suffer the same fate as the children who were gutted and hanged from the bridge.  This is no Easter Bunny!!
