In 1803, the village of Hammersmith in London was terrorized by reports of a ghost - a tall figure in white said to haunt the churchyard, attack travelers, and drive locals into hysterics. Fear spread so widely that armed patrols took to the streets to hunt the apparition.

Then, on a freezing January night, a man pulled the trigger on what he believed was that ghost… and killed an innocent bricklayer instead.

This episode of THS Case Files investigates the unforgettable Hammersmith Ghost case - a chilling blend of folklore, panic, tragedy, and one of the most important legal debates in British history.

You’ll hear:

The eerie encounters that set the village on edge

A dramatic reconstruction of the shooting

The surprising confession of the “real ghost”

Believer vs. skeptic perspectives

And the strange twist: how this case haunted English law for nearly two centuries

Was Hammersmith truly haunted?

Or did fear create a ghost where none existed?

In this special THS Case Files episode, we investigate one of the eeriest urban legends of the modern age - the Black-Eyed Children.

From a chilling 1996 encounter in Abilene, Texas, to the haunting tales of Vermont’s snow-storm visitors and England’s Cannock Chase, this story has crossed borders and generations - blending folklore, fear, and the strange silence of a midnight knock.

This episode comes from my new YouTube channel, THS Case Files, where I dive on-camera into famous paranormal reports and the stories that built them.

Four bone-cold encounters with something not quite human - the kind of stories that live in the dark between folklore and fact.

Hear from a forest patrol officer, a hunter in Oklahoma, a couple on a deserted Texas road, and one man haunted by both a shadow figure and a crawling thing in his home.

These are the Wendigo and Crawler stories that listeners call “too real to be fiction.”

Press play - and don’t look out the window.

When you can’t move and something’s watching - sleep paralysis turns bedrooms into liminal spaces. In this episode: five true encounters with the Hat Man (aka Hatman) and the Old Hag - from Halloween 2009 to a backyard in Curaçao, from a ringing ear that becomes a scream to forty silent seconds in a bedroom corner.

Three unsettling first-person encounters with entities beyond explanation.

Each story invites you into the quiet terror of things that shouldn’t be — but are.

Four first-person encounters with demonic forces that press back on the physical world: a daycare where glass “taps” as if tested by claws; a mattress that rocks while its owner stands beside it; a voice that knows your name (and a camera that catches what the eye won’t); and a black-eared imp grinning at a bedroom threshold. These aren’t campfire exaggerations - they’re quiet, lived-in accounts of pressure, presence, and line-drawing.

In this episode, I share true stories of encounters with creatures that can’t be explained away - phantom voices luring from the treeline, eyes glowing nine feet above the ground, and figures that move "wrong," like they don’t belong in this world.

This episode brings four tightly woven accounts of sleep paralysis and the entities that seem to learn us: a childhood room where a bed mimics the living, a TV that snaps to static as a pale crawler descends the wall, a small house that keeps its own midnight schedule, and a desert dream where beauty curdles into hunger. Featuring the Hat Man, and the age-old Old Hag legend.

What happens when the thing in the doorway doesn’t leave - even after the lights come on? This episode explores the worldwide phenomenon of the Hat Man through five true-life stories. From the terror of sleep paralysis to the unspoken fears that echo through childhood homes, hear powerful first-person accounts of encounters with a shadowy, hat-brimmed presence - sometimes accompanied by physical sensations, marks left behind, and a dread that lingers for years.

Three true-to-life encounters adapted into cinematic audio: an “owl” that laughs wrong, a thing jointed like a human drawn from memory, and eyes nine feet up over a backyard fence. Are we hearing Wendigo/Skinwalker lore - or something that learns our voices?
