HORRORble Podcast

Askia sits down with Io Locke, an ordained Minister of Satan from The Satanic Temple Austin, to cut through the noise on what Satanism actually is. From a Mormon farm in Oregon to leading a congregation in Austin, TX, Io breaks down the Seven Tenets, Baphomet, religious trauma, bodily autonomy, and why Christian nationalism is way more dangerous than anything The Satanic Temple is doing.

Io Locke doesn't worship the devil, they don't even believe in one. What they do believe in: empathy, science, personal sovereignty, and making the world better for everyone. This episode digs into the real story behind The Satanic Temple, from its origins fighting abortion bans in Texas to running food drives and menstrual product collections under the name "Menstruating with Satan."

Io walks through the difference between theistic and non-theistic Satanism, why the organization's name is intentionally provocative, and what the Baphomet statue is actually about. If you've ever been curious, or just wanted to argue at Thanksgiving, this one's required listening.

Joseph Laycock is a religious studies professor that gets roughly two calls a month from people convinced they're possessed (he stays out of it, because he's not a mental health professional, and he's definitely not an exorcist). This episode goes deep on the etymology of the word "demon," the Nephilim, books that got cut from the Bible, and why "The Exorcist" triggered a wave of real exorcism requests that still hasn't stopped.

Brandon Hodge is the real deal. With thousands of artifacts and hundreds of Ouija boards, he has dedicated his life to understanding why humans have always tried to talk to the dead.

This episode covers the birth of American spiritualism in 1848, the Fox Sisters' infamous spirit rappings, how table tipping became a nationwide craze, the planchette's Parisian origins, and why the Ouija board, introduced in 1890, wasn't even considered special at the time. We also get into the demonization of these tools, what Hollywood got dead wrong, and why Brandon still says everyone should try a Ouija board at least once.

David isn't your typical ghost tour guide. He's a Marine Corps veteran, Army chaplain, ultramarathoner, and a guy who genuinely felt the presence of LBJ in a hotel lobby. This episode covers the dark corners of human nature — from Austin's first serial killer case (the Servant Girl Annihilator) and early criminal profiling, to moral injury in the military, the insanity defense, and why the scariest thing on earth isn't a monster — it's a person.

They get into the concept of ghosts as grief, what happens when trauma goes unbelieved, modern-day vampires (yes, really), and what David saw when he nearly died in a spinning helicopter over Baghdad. Plus — his 11-year-old son won't go in one room of their house. Make of that what you will. If you're into horror, history, the paranormal, military stories, or just want to hear someone talk honestly about war, death, and the afterlife — this episode delivers.

Pastor Ramon Perez has performed exorcisms, spoken directly to demons, and witnessed things most people only see in horror movies — and he's here to talk about all of it. From a Gulf War vet who claims he brought back a demon from Iraq, to a man raised from the dead after experiencing hell firsthand, this episode goes places most podcasts won't.

Pastor Ramon Perez doesn't flinch. He's spent years doing deliverances — not just casting out demons, but tracking down the ROOT cause of demonic influence. He breaks down why most exorcisms fail (and actually make things worse), how Satan's voice sounds exactly like your own inner monologue, and why he once had to facilitate peace between the spirit of a black slave and a white slave owner — both living inside the same man.

If that doesn't already have you leaning forward, he also gets into a woman who was literally a bride of Satan with the power to astral project into other people, demonic portals opened by occult movies, alien encounters in El Paso, interdimensional beings, and a conspiracy theory connecting dinosaur bones to the Nephilim.

This is spiritual warfare, horror stories, and raw theology colliding in real time. Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, Pastor Ramon's response is simple: "I'd rather be popular with God than with man."

They dive into shadow people, demonic scratches, the ghost of Jeffrey Dahmer, and why ghosts might all be coming from the same source. Yes, really.

They also get into some genuinely heavy territory — like being able to see how your loved ones are going to die. Buckle up.

Whether you're a die-hard paranormal junkie or just paranormal-curious, Nicole and Damian bring a grounded yet wild perspective that'll make you rethink what's lurking in the corner of your room tonight.

The HORRORble Podcast returns to haunted Galveston with Spooky Gin for Part 2, diving deeper into the island's dark history, vampire encounters, and supernatural phenomena. Askia "The Boogeyman" Booker explores Gin's viral TikTok fame, disturbing paranormal experiences, and why Galveston's tragic past makes it a hotspot for the undead.

In this episode, Spooky Gin reveals the grim aftermath of Galveston's devastating storm, where bodies were burned on funeral pyres causing human ash to rain down on survivors. She shares her unsettling vampire encounter in New Orleans that left her with missing time and memory gaps, explains why she avoids giving tours during Mardi Gras due to increased vampire activity, and details her frightening experiences with mirror magic and haunted objects.

The conversation takes fascinating turns through discussions of vampire lore (are they the same as serial killers?), the dangers of Ouija boards, and a cursed t-shirt from Zak Bagans' museum that brought misfortune to everyone who touched it. Gin also shares the tragic story of Elizabeth Percival and the mysterious tale of pirate Jean Lafitte, who some believe still roams between New Orleans and Galveston as a vampire.
