Creep Street Podcast

Before Dracula became the creature of the night, he was a man. In Part One of Vlad the Impaler, Creep Street travels into the blood-soaked borderlands of 15th-century Europe, where young Vlad Dracula is forged by captivity, murdered family, stolen thrones, and a world where mercy could get you killed. What emerges is one of history’s most feared rulers: a prince with an iron sense of justice, an appetite for terror, and a particular talent for turning human beings into tree ornaments. But when the seemingly unstoppable Ottoman Empire comes marching toward Wallachia, the monster suddenly finds himself cast as the hero. Outnumbered and abandoned by his allies, Vlad prepares to wage war against the conqueror of Constantinople using scorched earth, plague, darkness, and fear itself.The history books call him Vlad III. His enemies had another name. The Impaler.

In Part Two of our series on the Theatre Ryal, we descend deeper into Drury Lane’s supernatural history to investigate the mysterious Man in Grey, a nameless specter whose appearance is considered an omen of good fortune. But the deeper we dig, the stranger his story becomes: human bones hidden in the walls, a ghost in the wrong century’s clothes, phantom hands backstage, and the impossible echo of a German bomb that fell through the theatre when nobody was there. And across an ocean, another mysterious Gray Man seems to carry warnings of his own. Maybe grey is just the color ghosts wear in the dark. Or maybe it means something more... Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for The Haunting of the Theatre Royal: Part Two!

For more than 350 years, the Theatre Royal at London's Drury Lane has burned, risen from the ashes, and filled its stage with some of the greatest performers England ever produced. But when the curtain falls, some of them may have chosen to stay behind. In Part One, we descend into the strange and tragic history of Drury Lane, where an argument over a wig ends in murder, a legendary clown is haunted by a lifetime of misery, and actors still report unseen hands, spectral faces, and figures watching from the darkness. At this theatre, when applause eventually dies away, the audience goes home, and the lights go out... something may still be waiting for the next performance. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for Part One of The Haunting of the Theatre Royal!

Beneath the frozen forests of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula lies a labyrinth of abandoned mines, forgotten graves, and more than a century of restless and bloody history. From the tragic Christmas Eve disaster at Calumet’s Italian Hall to phantom miners glimpsed undergroundm, and long dead workers wandering through spectral fog, Copper Country has no shortage of ghosts. When the spoils were had, the companies took their copper and left. The dead, however, stayed behind. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for The Haunting of Copper Country!

On April 15, 1988, seventeen-year-old Randy Wayne Leach borrowed his mother’s Dodge 600 and drove into the Kansas night. Neither Randy nor the car was ever seen again. What followed was a decades-long descent into the strange era of the American Satanic Panic, mysterious fires, sealed records, suspicious witnesses, dead investigators, and rumors of something wicked hiding beyond the cornfields. But beneath the carnival of conspiracy lies an even darker possibility: that a young man simply vanished without leaving so much as a tire track behind. This week, we discuss a tragedy in rural Kansas, where the truth has been missing since 1988. And somewhere in the darkness, the Devil may be watching... And the Devil can take many forms. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for The Devil In Kansas!

Tonight, we're traveling to Scotland's smoke-filled industrial heart, Glasgow, to investigate two of its strangest legends. First, we'll hear of hundreds of children who armed themselves with stakes, clubs, and courage to hunt a seven-foot vampire said to have iron teeth. Then we'll step into the shadow of another enigma... a pale, grinning figure who stalked the streets of Crosshill before vanishing as mysteriously as he appeared. It's a journey through folklore, mass hysteria, and whatever lurks in the thin space where imagination collides with reality. Because sometimes the monsters are born from old comic books... sometimes from forgotten cemeteries... and sometimes they seem to step out of the fog all on their own, and into flesh and bone... Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for Ghouls of Glasgow!

Deep in the industrial heart of Birmingham, England, stands Aston Hall, a towering, red-brick monument to cruel ambition, ancient wealth, and concentrated malice. Built in the 17th century by Sir Thomas Holte, a fiercely loyal Royalist with a temper like a shotgun, this grand estate was designed to scream power to those who beheld it. Holte survived the devastating cannon fire of the English Civil War and a lifetime of vicious family feuds, only to die with a treasure trove of regrets. Yet, his twisted soul is said to be curiously absent from the estate. Instead, the halls are occupied by the wreckage he left behind: the spirits of those he controlled, neglected, and drove past the edge of sanity. In this episode, we dive into the dark, jagged legacy of the Holte name and the legendary hauntings that keep Aston Hall permanently locked in a supernatural time loop. We track the tragic "Grey Lady," a daughter allegedly imprisoned in the high tower until her mind shattered; Mrs. Walker, the relentless housekeeper who still vanishes into thin air the second you try to kick her ass out of her favorite antique chair; and the grim, heartbreaking apparition of Dick, a falsely accused houseboy swinging silently from the rafters of the servants' quarters. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for The Haunting of Aston Hall!

In the shadow of World War I, a horrifying epidemic of murder took root in the quiet, isolated farming village of Nagyrév, Hungary. Driven by the desire to escape abusive arranged marriages, and oppressive household dynamics, a secret society of local women turned to a mysterious midwife named Susanna Fazekas. Armed with an "untraceable" lethal solution boiled down from everyday flypaper, what began as a desperate means of self-defense quickly spiraled into a decade-long syndicate of greed and convenience. For years, a corrupt local coroner and deep-seated village superstition kept the soaring body count hidden under the guise of natural causes. But when a national census finally exposes a statistically impossible death rate, investigators unearth a nightmare of domestic poisonings that erased entire family trees, and prove that in Nagyrév, every home-cooked meal could be a death sentence. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for The Widow-Maker Syndicate!

The late 19th century was saturated with spiritualism. Every city block in Europe had some charlatan in velvet curtains running fake séances for grieving widows. But amid the sea of carnival frauds, a terrifying enigma named Hassan Khan materialized out of nowhere. He didn't need darkened rooms, gaudy theatrics, or cheap parlor tricks. He operated in broad daylight, under the cold gaze of wealthy elites and hardened skeptics, plucking out of season exotic fruits, buried jewels, and bottles of champagne straight from the ether. His explanation was simple, and entirely devoid of showmanship: he commanded a host of seven literal Djinn spirits.Khan's trajectory was a wild one: From a disciplined village youth gifted a terrifying cosmic inheritance, to an arrogant drunkard spiraling through the high society drawing rooms of Europe. Djinn are not to be trifled with. They are volatile, invisible intelligences with severe temperaments and malicious tactics. Khan's vice-ridden life eventually fractures his control, transforming his supernatural business partners into violent poltergeists that hurl bricks and bottles, and hammer on the walls of his very sanity. From spontaneous backyard miracles to a paranoid, screaming confinement in an asylum, we dissect the fine line between absolute mastery and total psychological ruin. Do we walk the jagged edge of the unseen world? Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for The Djinn Master!
