Stormy Willow: A Paranormal Podcast

Sarah and Adell grew up Church of God—where the hair was high, the altar calls were terrifying, and the Rapture could hit at any moment. This episode is their haunted testimony of faith, fear, and everything left behind.

What if death isn’t the end, but a reboot? This week, we dive headfirst into the eerie, emotional, and sometimes absurd world of reincarnation. From ancient Hindu and Buddhist beliefs to modern-day cases of kids remembering lives they never lived, we follow the soul's paper trail across time. Plus: Dolores Cannon’s wild theories, scientific rabbit holes, and the cosmic HR department you really don’t want to visit twice.

Ancient warriors don’t take detours—and if you’re in their path, good luck. In this week’s episode of Stormy Willow, dives into the chilling Hawaiian legend of the Night Marchers.

This week, while Sarah’s living it up in New York City, Adell is kicking off May by celebrating some serious bad seeds. In honor of the month that honors mothers, we’re turning the spotlight on five women who were anything but traditional: the tormented Anneliese Michel, the mischievous Fox Sisters, the accused of the Salem Witch Trials, the rebel spirit Lilith, and Scotland’s last witch, Helen Duncan. From possession to séances to legends that refused to die, these bad mama jamas shook history — and we’re here for every haunted minute of it.

Some cryptids lurk in the shadows. This one stares straight into your soul.

This week, we’re sniffing around the legend of the Michigan Dogman—a towering, wolf-like creature that walks on two legs, shrugs off bullets, and has a real flair for dramatic entrances. From 1800s logging roads to prison yards and late-night off-roading trips, we’ve got firsthand accounts that’ll have you side-eyeing every tree line.

Welcome to Camp Stormy Willow, where the s’mores are cursed and the cryptids don’t follow the rules. In this chaotic compilation, we revisit some of the wildest monsters we've ever covered—Bigfoot, Mothman, Black Eyed Kids, the Jersey Devil, and more—as they come together for one legendary summer. It’s spooky, it’s silly, it’s Monster Mayhem. Roll call starts now.

Popes in palaces. Time machines in the basement. A filing cabinet so secret you need a prayer to open it. This week, we’re deep-diving into the world’s holiest city-state and asking: what the actual hell is going on behind those gold doors? From haunted crypts and cursed relics to real-life exorcists and a prophecy that says this might be the last Pope ever—we’re cracking open centuries of mystery, scandal, and sacred shade. Get in, loser. We’re going to Vatican City.

Two travelers. Two roadside stops. One terrifying question: what if time doesn’t just move forward? This week: gas stations, glitches, and time-traveling dads!

At 30 East Drive, the poltergeist doesn’t just make noise—it throws furniture, slams doors, and terrorizes anyone inside. What began as falling dust and eerie cold spots escalated into green foam oozing from faucets, lights exploding, and the dark figure of the Black Monk lurking in the shadows. Even priests failed to stop it. Decades later, the terror hasn’t faded—visitors report being pushed, scratched, and watched by something unseen. Is this Britain’s most violent haunting, or is there another explanation? Enter if you dare.
