Would you wager your safety for a year of luck? The Man in the Fields ritual dares players to do exactly that by opening their doors to something sinister. In this episode, we walk you through the harrowing step-by-step ritual that has taken root across creepy pasta forums, ritual wikis, and Reddit confessionals. What begins as a terrifying game of "shut every door before midnight" becomes a night stalked by an ashen-skinned referee, a towering scarecrow figure, and a whisper that chills to the bone: “That’s not your biggest problem.”

On frozen backroads from Ohio to Michigan and Connecticut, stories persist of small, feral figures with grotesquely swollen heads stalking the tree line. From Dr. Crow’s abused “patients” on Wisner Road to asylum escapees along Connecticut’s infamous “Dracula Drive,” the Melon Heads legend blends real medical conditions, social cruelty, and spooky eyewitness accounts into one of America’s most unsettling modern monster tales.

High above the Bedfordshire countryside stands the crumbling shell of St Mary’s. A medieval church twisted by time, ritual, and whispers of evil. In 1963, villagers discovered the defiled remains of a woman exhumed from her grave, arranged in the nave for a black mass. What followed was a decades-long saga of satanic panic, grave desecration, phantom monks, and chilling apparitions.
