We’re well into the depths of winter now, and what better way to celebrate a time of such constant darkness than by listening to some of the spookiest stories on the internet? Pretty soon, everyone’s going to be talking about love, candy hearts, and fresh flowers…but until we get there, why not comfort yourself with the fact that maybe…just maybe…you’re not alone.

New year, new me, same haunts. Often we’ll get stories that sound like they’ve been told before, or we’ll hear of people looking for others who may have experienced something similar. It’s natural to not want to feel alone, to not feel crazy when the impossible or improbable happens; when the brain can’t fathom what it saw or heard. Here at IHWN, we promise to believe you, support you, and reassure you that you are not crazy; and that there are more like you out there.

A mannequin with human hair became a doll, and lifelong companion and/or scapegoat, for an eccentric Floridian artist. The rest is (haunted? possessed?) history, and it’s exactly as unsettling as you might guess. And then some.

We can’t tell you how thrilled we are to welcome Espooky Tales to the podcast! We have guested on their podcast a few times, and it has always been a good time! I love this show so much and listen every time a new episode drops. It fills my Espooky Heart up with Ghouls. I hope you enjoy this episode and Happy New Year!

Haunted Stores in Mexico E118

If you’ve been to Mexico or anywhere in Latin America, chances are you’ve been in a tienda Oxxo. These are the largest chain of convenience stores in all of Latin America and maybe even the most haunted. In today’s episode, Cristina and MJ talk about paranormal stories that take place in different Oxxo stores in Mexico, a haunted piñata store in Guadalajara, Mexico, and a haunted cafe. Oh, and of course, they had to mention Stockton, California’s own haunted Burlington Coat Factory. Cristina and MJ share these stories, have some laughs, and share their spooky recommendations, but first, Cristina reads a listener story.

The fight-or-flight adrenaline rush. In the face of unexpected, shocking, petrifying situations, the human body floods the system, and the brain decides which action would result in a greater chance of survival. So when something happens but you can’t see it or understand what you’re seeing, which does the brain choose?

Strange and sinister happenings are never really tied to one location, are they? Sure, all the horror movies take place in homes, churches or graveyards or hospitals, where bad things happened at some point or other. But in real life, something spooky can be waiting around just about any corner. The stories in this episode will take us from the safety of your own home, to work, to friends’ homes, to school, and back home again. And remember, it’s not always about the destination – sometimes, the journey can be just as wild.

The ultimate month of spookiness has come and gone, but here at IHWN, we live in the paranormal and the unexplained every single day of the year. Today, we bring you stories about spine-chilling occurrences with entities that seem to take or change the way the storyteller feels or rewire their entire personalities. Then, we close out with an astonishing tale about precognitive dreams that weren’t easy to decipher.

As we find ourselves amidst the eerie embrace of the spooky season, emerging unscathed from the terror of Friday the 13th, we hope you’ve appeased Jason Voorhees with his campfire milk and cookies. If not, indulge in some for yourself as you dim the lights and prepare to immerse yourself in today’s tales. We’re diving into the experiences of those courageous souls who yearn for encounters with the unexplainable and those who’ve been privileged to hear what lurks in the shadows but remains hidden from sight.
