Three more listener-submitted accounts from across North America, told the way they deserve to be told.

A haunted property with music boxes buried in the woods, a Canadian family who fought off a smiling shadow figure during a pregnancy, two hunters in the Virginia Appalachians who heard something they couldn't explain and more.

These aren't my stories. They're yours.

What if most of the internet isn't real?

In this episode, we unpack the Dead Internet Theory — from its origins on an obscure vaporwave forum to the Imperva report confirming bots now generate 51% of all web traffic.

We follow the trail through Shrimp Jesus engagement farms, Russia's AI-powered disinformation networks, a $2 bot that can flood the web with 10,000 fake comments, and the spectacular 60-day collapse of Digg's relaunch.

Along the way, we meet a KGB defector who predicted all of this in 1985, a French president who received a deepfake of his own overthrow, and the CEO of OpenAI getting compared to a man in a hot dog suit.

The internet might not be dead — but it's on life support, and the nurses are bots.

The Tape Library has quietly become one of the most respected names in paranormal podcasting. Documentary-style storytelling. Meticulous research.

A philosophy that lets the story breathe without forcing conclusions.

Now part of Elijah Wood and Daniel Noah's SpectreVision Radio network, The Tape Library joins Tales From The Dark for an hour-long conversation on the craft — covering everything from UFOS to the complicated legacy of the Warrens and the listener stories that keep us both up at night. 

We dive into how each of us approaches research, skepticism, and storytelling. What makes a case worth covering?

How do you present controversial claims responsibly without alienating believers or losing credibility? What's the line between entertainment and journalism in paranormal content?

 And what happens when you start getting stories from listeners that sound exactly like the cases you've been researching?

If you're a fan of fact-forward paranormal content, documentary-style podcasting, or just want to hear two people who spend too much time in dusty archives talk about ghosts, cryptids, and high strangeness — this one's for you.

The 2026 High Strangeness Review series kicks off with a bang. Declassified UK Ministry of Defence files reveal British intelligence actively sought UFO technology in the 1990s.

Germany logs record UFO sightings. The MH370 search resumes. A Patagonia trail camera captures unexplained lights that scientists can't identify. 

We investigate the haunted Room 311 at Chattanooga's Read House Hotel, where the ghost of murder victim Annalisa Netherly still haunts guests.

Plus: auto-brewery syndrome explained, Spielberg's "Disclosure Day" trailer breakdown, the Doomsday Clock hits 85 seconds to midnight, and the month's strangest news.

YOUR Tales From The Dark: Volume 2

We asked. You delivered.

After our first listener stories episode dropped, the inbox started filling up. Stories people have been carrying around for years. Decades, some of them. Things they've never told anyone — or told someone once and got laughed at, so they buried it.

Not here. Not anymore.

In this episode, we're handing the mic back to you. From a rideshare driver in Denver who decided traffic laws were merely suggestions, to a family's thirty-seven years on a California cattle ranch interrupted by something that didn't want them there. From phantom phone calls asking for a woman named Sarah — on numbers that don't exist — to a man who saw his roommate in two places at once.

A bald man in a tattered blue suit, praying on the side of a midnight road. A scream in the Wisconsin woods that made a grown woman never go outside after dark again. A house in New Jersey where abductees show up uninvited — because something sent them there. And a Missouri plantation home with water in a bathtub that hasn't had running water in years.

These aren't Hollywood horror stories. These aren't creepypastas. These are real experiences from real people who trusted us enough to share them.

The question is: what's really out there? And why does it keep finding us?

On January 3rd, 2026, U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a raid that left over 100 dead.

But it wasn't the operation that sent shockwaves through the internet — it was the testimony of an alleged guard claiming American soldiers deployed a mysterious "sonic weapon" that made his head feel like it was "exploding from the inside," caused mass nosebleeds, and left soldiers vomiting blood and unable to move.

The White House amplified the story. The Pentagon went silent. And suddenly, a decade of mysterious "Havana Syndrome" attacks on American diplomats started looking very different.

 In this bonus episode, we connect the dots between the Venezuela claims, the disturbing history of Havana Syndrome, and the bombshell revelation that the U.S. has reportedly captured a device believed to cause these attacks.

 From the Navy's secretive 2019 destruction of two tons of classified weapons data to the global directed energy arms race between the U.S., Russia, and China — the pieces are falling into place. The question is: what picture are they forming?
