For decades, Staten Islanders whispered the legend of Cropsey, a shadowy figure lurking in the woods, preying on the innocent. In some stories he had a bloody hook for a hand, in others he wielded a terrifying axe. Your typical urban legend. But, when children started disappearing, the urban myth became horrifyingly real. In this episode, we uncover the truth behind Cropsey, the abandoned ruins of Willowbrook State School, and the man at the center of it all: Andre Rand. Was he a lone predator, or part of something even more sinister? With disturbing disappearances, eerie urban legends, and whispers of a cult connection, we explore the terrifying reality that still haunts Staten Island and the lingering mysteries that may never be solved.

New Orleans’ eerie charm and gothic architecture have long made it the perfect setting for vampire lore, both on screen and in the shadows of reality. From Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire to the chilling legends of the Casket Girls, the city’s history is steeped in blood-soaked myths. This episode dives into the dark tales lurking behind the French Quarter’s gaslit streets: the Ursuline Convent’s sealed third floor, rumored to hold escaped vampires; the Carter brothers, whose gruesome 1932 crimes left locals fearing undead predators; and the enigmatic Jacques St. Germain, a wealthy socialite suspected of being the immortal Comte de St. Germain. We’ll even explore modern encounters with "energy vampires" draining victims of their vitality. Whether folklore or frightening truth, New Orleans blurs the line between the living and the undead. So, light a candle, lock your doors, and join us, if you dare, for a journey into the heart of vampire country.

A terrifying extremist network called 764 is radicalizing predators and targeting children across mainstream platforms like Discord and Roblox. Classified by the FBI as a domestic terrorism threat, this decentralized group weaponizes child exploitation, psychological torture, and extreme violence to accelerate societal collapse. Founded by a disturbed 15-year-old, 764 members now operate globally, forcing victims as young as 10 to self-mutilate, harm animals, and even attempt suicide on camera. Recent arrests reveal a sprawling operation where abuse footage is traded as currency and predators compete in brutality. With over 250 active FBI investigations, this epidemic shows no signs of slowing. This episode exposes 764's grooming tactics, shocking real-world cases, and why every parent must act now to protect their kids online. The internet has become a hunting ground...and the predators are winning.

In the mist-shrouded hills of 18th-century France, a nightmare stalked the countryside. A monstrous, wolf-like creature whose reign of bloodshed left an entire region paralyzed with fear. Known as the Beast of Gévaudan, this enigmatic predator was blamed for over 100 gruesome attacks, primarily targeting women and children, its savagery so extreme that even King Louis XV dispatched his best hunters to destroy it. But what was the Beast? A supernatural entity? A werewolf cursed by ancient forces? A surviving dire wolf? A relic of a bygone age? Or perhaps something even more sinister? In this chilling episode, we delve into the dark history of The Beast of Gévaudan, examining eyewitness accounts, royal decrees, and the bizarre theories that persist to this day. Join us as we hunt for the truth behind one of history’s most infamous cryptids.

The horrors continue to unfold! Rex Heuermann, known as the "Ogre," is now charged with a seventh murder after investigators linked him to Valerie Mack through a hair belonging to his daughter, Victoria. Detectives uncovered a chilling "planning document" in Heuermann’s digital records—a step-by-step guide to abduction, torture, and disposal that eerily mirrors Mack’s fate. Even more unsettling, strange artwork connected to Victoria raises new questions about the Heuermann family's dark secrets.  Plus, we explore a baffling mystery.  A plane carrying 10 people vanished without a trace over the infamous Alaskan Triangle on February 6, 2025.

Merry Christmas to all our loyal listeners!
 
In this chilling Christmas episode, we dig into a long-forgotten tradition: telling ghost stories at Christmas. Long before candy canes and carolers, folks gathered around the fire to swap supernatural tales, proving that the yuletide season isn't all jolly cheer...there’s room for the otherwordly, too. We delve into the roots of this ancient custom, tracing it back millennia, where the glow of a crackling hearth, or a communal bonfire, served as the perfect setting for shadows and shivers. But that's just the appetizer. The real treat is hearing two spine-tingling original tales, crafted by modern-day macabre maestros Jason Nhyte and Oscar Spectir. This episode is a reminder that the jolliest time of the year carries with it the whispers of the dead. Pull up a chair, warm yourself by our fire, and unwrap this gift...if you dare.
