From root workers and conjure women to whispered curses and protective charms nailed above cabin doors, the mountains are alive with stories of those who walked the thin line between healer and feared witch. In this episode, we unravel the lore of Appalachian folk magic, the secrets passed down in hushed tones, and the witches said to gather in secret covens on the ridge

Beneath the rusting bones of Nuttallburg, the dead still whisper — miners’ knocks echoing through the gorge, warnings from the Tommyknockers who once haunted the coal seams. But not every shadow belongs to a ghost. As we searched for spirits, footsteps followed too close, and the line between folklore and real danger blurred. In this case file, we face the unnerving truth: sometimes it isn’t the dead you need to fear.

Episode 9 – Shadows of Belief: Appalachian Superstitions
In this special crossover, Mac is joined by Nathan from Sunflower & Nightshade Podcast as they unravel the eerie world of Appalachian superstition. From hollow whispers about owls at midnight to age-old warnings of witch signs carved into doorframes, we dive deep into the folklore that has shaped mountain life for generations. Together, we swap stories, question the roots of these age-worn beliefs, and explore how superstition still lingers in the dark corners of Appalachia.

Pull up your chair, light a lantern, and listen close—because in the mountains, even the smallest belief can carry the weight of a curse.

The ocean holds secrets darker than any forest or forgotten road. In this dispatch, Mac dives into a chilling deep-sea mystery—where sound becomes signal, and something vast stirs in the black water. Strange recordings, eyewitness encounters, and the unnerving possibility of a creature that should not exist all rise to the surface.

Pull your blanket tight and brace yourself—this case drags us into the abyss.

In this Listener Roundup, we open the case files you’ve sent in — stories that prove the paranormal reaches from the streets we drive to the dreams we can’t escape. Tonight, we’ll follow a phantom car that roars out of the dark before vanishing, hear of a Filipino Engkanto whose beauty hides danger, meet the ghostly secretaries still haunting their office, and step inside a dream that refuses to stay a dream. These and more first-hand encounters remind us: the dead air is everywhere.

Hold your drink snug, pull up your blanket, and prepare yourself for Dead Air Files case number 7.

Tucked away along a winding backcountry road in Virginia, the Yellow Sulphur Springs Hotel stands as a weathered sentinel over centuries of history and hauntings. Once a lavish resort where travelers sought healing in its mineral-rich waters, the site became a crossroads for soldiers, settlers, and spirits alike. Its past is steeped in Civil War bloodshed, Cherokee displacement, and the quiet endurance of the African American community that built and worked the grounds.

But the echoes haven’t faded. Locals still speak of shadowy figures drifting through the windows, spectral soldiers marching the perimeter, and phantom music floating from the darkness. Some swear the road itself twists reality—where headlights vanish into the fog and unseen footsteps follow too close for comfort.

In this episode, Mac and Smash return to the scene with open recorders and restless curiosity. What begins as a late-night investigation turns into a layered journey through forgotten history, eyewitness accounts, and unsettling personal encounters. By the time the mist settles, you may find yourself wondering if Yellow Sulphur Road is just haunted… or if it’s alive.

Something stalks the ridgelines. Eyes gleaming like coals. Screams that split the night. In this episode, Mac ventures deep into the tangled roots of Appalachian legend to uncover the truth behind the Wampus Cat.

From Cherokee shapeshifter myths to eerie roadside encounters, we follow the clawprints through time—right up to chilling, present-day sightings. Is it a cursed spirit, a cryptid, or something far stranger?

Hold your drink snug, pull up your blanket, and prepare yourself for Dead Air Files case number 004.

In this Dispatch episode, Mac returns to the dark hollers of Virginia to recount a chilling solo encounter deep in the woods near Gum Hill. A shredded tent. Unseen eyes in the night. And a towering beast that vanished without a trace. Was it a cryptid, a spirit, or something far older than folklore dares speak of?
