Slightly Scary Podcast

We’ve all heard the legend. Nestled in the quiet village of Sleepy Hollow resides a headless monster atop a horse sent to decapitate its victims with one swift movement. Talk about nightmare fuel. But it’s all just part of an old story right? Perhaps... but what if there's more truth to this story than we realize? Turn off the lights and join Sav and Bree as they dive into this spooky tale.

Although, yes this movie brings up topics of controversy, the 2013 movie “The Conjuring”, is still one of the scariest movies we have (sorta of) watched. This movie has everything one needs to have a night full of Halloween, or even everyday terror. Join Sav and Bree as they talk about this infamous movie, and share their thoughts about if this story is one of fact or fiction. 

Happy Halloween!

Some of us might have played them as kids, some of us might have been too scared. Too scared to risk tearing down the sheet that keeps us separated from the other side. Too frightened to actually see someone or something lurking in your house. Too horrified to wonder if you’ll ever make it out alive. Grab your candle, your matches and some friends and join Sav and Bree as they get ready for some ritual games…again…

For this episode, I want all of our listeners to think back to 2008, the Bejing Olympics were happening, the Great Recession, that weird orange car that came out that I cannot pronounce. For some, 2008 may have been no different than current world affairs, but it was anything but that, Twilight had just been released and wars began happening everywhere, installing the Jacob vs Edward factions. Join us as we dive into werewolf pop culture and see which wolf we put on top of the rest.

You hear a howl late one evening as you’re walking home. For comfort, you tell yourself “Must be a coyote, or maybe a wolf”. You continue walking until you notice a full moon shining down on you. After this episode, you may be worried if something else is out there besides a local wildlife, could your town have its very own werewolf resident? Join Sav and Bree as they explore werewolf origins and stories, and later for werewolves in pop culture.

You hear a knock on the door, and the knocking turns into banging. Suddenly you’re the victim of invisible pitching, with your blankets being aggressively pulled away in the middle of the night, and other forms of unyielding torment. This uninvited house guest is here for a good time - not a long time. Join Sav and Bree, with special return guest Ashley as they learn about The Bell Witch.

Anyone looking for a few light frights will find haunted houses to be a fun experience because of the rush their faux danger may provide. However, McKamey Manor near Summertown, Tennessee, is quite different. Most only lasted a short while before pleading to be let go. Do you think you could survive this haunted house/torture chamber? And stick around for an EXCLUSIVE interview with Matt from Greenbriar Cemetery at the end of the episode!

**WARNING the beginning of this episode discusses sensitive topics such as physical and psychological torture. Please skip to 29 minutes into the episode if you wish to list to the interview with Matt

Referred to as the blood-sucking cryptid, this dog-like predator stands out as one of the more contemporary cryptids in our midst. But watch out! Just because it has recently emerged, doesn’t mean it’s any less scary. Keep your livestock close and keep an eye out as you join Sav and Bree to learn more about El Chupacabra.
