- GTTU 127: Paranormal True Crime
On Episode 127 of Guide to the Unknown:
After referencing it last week, we’re diving in with both feed! WHO PUT BELLA IN THE WITCH ELM!?
It’s a whole episode about the intersection of true crime and the supernatural. The Hand of Glory cameos, witches are involved, and then we sink into the amazing, horrible, and amazingly horrible world of Psychic Detectives.
Sylvia Browne eat your vile heart out! Plenty of psychics consult on murder and missing person cases, but have you heard of 1898’s paranormal PI FLAXMAN LOW?
NOW THEN, go subscribe to Stories with Sapphire!
Every Wednesday, Sapphire talks with people about their paranormal experiences. It’s a fun, thoughtful, heartwarming podcast that you will absolutely love if you’re a GTTU listener. Oh also you might just hear US on this show sometime soon!

1 hr 27 min - GTTU 126: Harry Potter Horrors
On Episode 126 of Guide to the Unknown:
It’s hard to believe we haven’t done this before! LET’S TALK ABOUT HARRY POTTER!
WOOOOOOOOO!
This week on the show, Will tells the real life stories behind The Hand of Glory and Nagini the snake/lady. Not to mention the odd tales of Borgin & Burkes, The Obscurus, and (shudder) The Trolley Lady.
Kristen destroys The Boggart, Thestrals, The Inferius, and Dementors! It doesn’t MATTER if you’re not well versed in Harry Potter, we’ll explain everything you need to know…and then some! SPOILERS!
We round it all out with our personal Top 5 Horror Moments throughout the entire franchise!
Keep safe, muggles!

1 hr 21 min - GTTU 125: Toilet Monsters
On Episode 125 of Guide to the Unknown:
It’s our first ever remotely recorded episode! We don’t go to restaurants or the gym anymore. Out the window.
ANYWAY, in this time of great stress, we decided to call in one of our closest allies: the humble toilet.
Yes, the toilet has a long folkloric history! It is one of the unsung Scream Queens of the horror genre! Psycho, Hanako-San, The Legend of Zelda, Moaning Myrtle, and so much more!
Let the healing begin!

1 hr 9 min - GTTU 124: Animal Crossing: Monsterville
On Episode 124 of Guide to the Unknown:
It’s time to distract ourselves with magical, mystical human/animal hybrids!
We’re stoked on the release of the new Animal Crossing game for Nintendo Switch, where you play as a little villager in a world of cute animals. It got us imagining a version where you live next to animal demons rather than cute bunnies and stuff.
So we’re talking WEREWOLVES, The Goat Man, Sphinxes, Animorphs, and a whole lot more!
Distract yourself with us!
Oh, also add us via our Nintendo Switch Friend Codes so you can visit our little animal villages:

1 hr 13 min - GTTU 123: The Jejune Institute
On Episode 123 of Guide to the Unknown:
You’ve received a very special invitation to a world beyond your wildest dreams. It’s the world around you…but you’re not looking close enough.
The Jejune Institute is not an ARG, it’s not a game. Jeff Hull, the creator, makes that much perfectly clear. But what IS it? A cult? A new way of thinking?
Will sinks into the HUH. And Kristen gives you the WHOA.
And then you can get the “Dispatches from Elsewhere” from Jason Segel. Because this thing is a tv show now!

55 min - GTTU 122: Haunted Disney
On Episode 122 of Guide to the Unknown:
Let’s go to Disney Land! Or Disney World! Wait, where are we?
Well Kristen is ACTUALLY at Disney RIGHT NOW! We strategically decided to cover ghost stories at Disney amusement parks specifically to torment her!
Lets talk about Dolly’s Dip! Let’s talk about spreading your ashes in the Haunted Mansion! Let’s talk about the ghost of Walt Disney himself!
It’s the happiest place on earth. It might also be the scariest!

56 min - GTTU 121: Kristen & William Go to a Séance
On Episode 121 of Guide to the Unknown:
We’re leaving the basement, folks!
A while back, Kristen spotted an opportunity to participate in a séance at Paranormal Books & Curiosities in Asbury Park, New Jersey!
So we climbed the stairs, hopped in the car, and held hands with strangers as we explored the spirit world. And hey…maybe something reached back out to us!
Enjoy our most personal episode possibly ever, as we debate and celebrate just how much we believe!

1 hr 18 min - GTTU 120: Grimms' Scary Tales
On Episode 120 of Guide to the Unknown:
These stories are totally for children. NOT!
We’re looking back at the wonderful work done by The Brothers Grimm! As folklorists and historians, they literally wrote the book on fairy tales! But who were they? And what did they collect?
On this episode we dive deep into: Hans My Hedgehog, The Juniper Tree, The Girl Without Hands, Bluebeard, Fitcher’s Bird, and The Robber Bridegroom! It’s a wild scene!
Also some light Crimson Peak convo. And don’t forget to #sniffthebook

1 hr 16 min - GTTU 119: Ghouls on Film
On Episode 119 of Guide to the Unknown:
Check your old newspapers and grab a polaroid, we’re taking a look at some mysterious entities that make themselves known in photographs!
4:45 - First, The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall wants to put in some face time. She has a desire to be seen, and you should have a desire to look away. OR, you know, going all Yosemite Sam is an option, I guess?
28:22 - Then, The Man with the Upside Down Face has been appearing at the sites of tragedies for decades. No one seems to notice him in the moment, but there he is, lurking in the developed film. Is he feeding? Is he pure evil? Does he wear a hat on his chin? Follow @SlimySwampGhost for more of this wild world!

1 hr 1 min - GTTU 118: Close Encounters of Every Kind
On Episode 118 of Guide to the Unknown:
We’ve all heard of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Sure, it’s an iconic, historic Steven Spielberg movie, but it’s also one of the real ways that ufologists classify interactions with aliens!
Kristen explains the original three, as defined by J. Allen Hynek, and Will dives into the later additions! There are RULES RULES RULES in the world of UFO study! We round out the show with some good solid movie talk! Can you believe neither of us had seen the movie before this show?
