They discovered an off the path section of woods known to locals as the "Dark Entry Forrest" they fell in love with the area and decided to buy a thousand acres and build a getaway for themselves. The couple built a paradise they often vacationed at and loved until the summer of 1918 when things went terribly wrong. After being called away to New York for a medical emergency for 36 hours Dr. Clark returned to find his wife curled on the floor laughing in an inhuman manner claiming the dark shadows of the forrest had come for her.

The Chaneques, or Duende, are tiny sprite like creatures in Mexican/Aztec folklore. They are said to guard parts of the forest, and also the land of those that give them gifts. These creatures are mischievous and can be dangerous if not appeased by offerings. The name Chaneques translates to "those who inhabit dangerous places" or "owners of the house" and that's where our story begins. Jose and his friend decided to move out when they were 18, but little did they know that the house they were renting was not exactly empty. Soon after moving in, Jose would hear foots steps in the house when he was alone and he and his roommate started noticing things going missing. Each roommate had their own room which they kept locked, and still things would disappear. Jose, having some knowledge of the chaneques, began to leave small offerings to them, but his roommate did not and soon became the target of these devious entities. The roommate eventually stopped sleeping over at the house after waking up with a small bite mark on his leg. As the news of these occurrences began to spread to their friend group, they began to investigate, eventually finding a small hole in his basement wall that seemed to lead on forever and having windows knocked on and more things moved around in the house. Even with all the events going on in the house Jose decided to have a party one day and that's when the creature was finally spotted by multiple people, causing a panic and a direct contact story that will leave you questioning everything. Join us as we listen to Jose's nightmarish tale of Chaneques in suburbia.

Megan grew up in a haunted house. Her childhood home was over one hundred years old in Houston Texas. As a child she seemed to be the target of the entity in the home and it did not like Megan. She would be woken up in the middle of the night to sounds of her music box playing and dolls moving. Her room was the old play room and that seemed to be the focus of the activity. Her family would hear doors opening and closing, see flickering lights and even a tall shadow entity. As an adult Megan had a complicated pregnancy which led to her have a near death experience and a new perspective on life and the spiritual realm. Her fascination with the paranormal has grown and become more serious. Her journey led her to paranormal investigating using her spirit box in multiple locations and hearing voices revealing to her information from the other side of deaths and even murder. Her parting gift to us was to not be afraid to talk about the things you've seen and experienced, you're not crazy and to keep searching for answers.

This week we tell some state sides tales of the whistling Spector and the history and folklore surrounding it. We leave you with a warning, if you hear the quite whistle of El Silbón at night it just be the last thing you hear.

Sometimes when family members pass away we are left without the closure we want at the time. After losing both of her Italian grandparents at different times, Jessica began to notice the similarities. Dreams, seeing people who resembled them and the lights flickering whenever her grandparents were mentioned. Jessica’s experiences have followed her throughout her life, each time little nods reminding her that her family was close.
