We're gonna party like it's 1999! Well not really but next week will be our 100th episode, can you believe it?

This week Ian takes us up to New England where we look into a legend of an escape plan gone wrong.

For years Fort Warren stood as the first line of defense in the Boston Harbor. Like most forts it housed many prisoners, and it was the wife of one of those prisoners who made a plan to free him from captivity.

But her plan did not go as she had planned, and she still haunts the fort to this day.

Hello friends and welcome to Season 3!!! Can you guys believe it?!

This year we will be traveling to our first convention as vendors at Hauntlanta on Lake Lanier. Which makes this the perfect time to cover this lake, her sordid history, and the curse that is said to take the lives of more people every year than any other lake in the country.

Said to be the deadliest body of water in the US, the deadly history of this land goes all the way back to the forced removal of Cherokee people from the land. Add on to that the massacre and force removal of black people in Forsyth county, it no wonder people claim to feel hands grab them under water.

This week Ian takes a look at a phenomnom known as Unidentified Submerged Objects, or UFOs of the ocean.

Back in the day we hosted an episode with Paranormal Misfits in which we spoke to Leslie and Stephen Shaw about there theories of inner terestrials. That leads nicely into the reports of USO's that will go from air to water from the US Navy and others.

For years there have been reports of these ships going in and out of the ocean, and even reports of subs being followed while submerged.

What is going on down there?

This week was supposed to happen a few weeks ago but we had the guest so she got pushed back a couple weeks.

We look at the legend of the Deer Woman, a figure that has been terrifying generations of indigenous people. She is know to take on the form of a deer, or at least some part of it, as she goes out hunting victims.

But her victims are not great to begin with as many of her legends begin with her rape and murder so many of her "victims" are men who are up to no good anyways.

This week Ian takes us across the pond to look at a tradition/legend that has been around since before written history.

With singing and dancing and cider drinking, and a .... horse skull? What more could one want to celebrate the Christmas season?

Ian has quite an interesting tale for us this week as he takes us through some reports of sightings of a creature that people have claimed has the body of a man but the head of a dog or wolf.

Ian had started his research with the dog man of Michigan, but it did not take long before he found accounts of similar creatures from across the globe. Including the Cajun legend of the Rougarou.

This week we are looking at a cult that is a little to close for comfort for these host.

With restaurants and branches in several countries across the globe, Twelve Tribes is still a very active cult, with two busses and a ship that allow them to travel around the country recruiting for their cult.

We look at who they are, what they believe, and where they came from. We also look at many of the allegations that have been leveled against them over the decades.

This week we take a look at aa band that some people call a cult, some people call satanist, but in reality no one knew what was going on behind closed doors.

When the ban was founded in the 1980's it started out as a love of the genre, Black Metal. But over the years there were rumors of black magic and satan worship, and two reported deaths within the band.

This week we are headed back over to the EBCI rez to look at one of their most frightening legends.

During a recent ghost hunt on the rez we learned about one of their shows called The Raven Mocker Screams Haunted House. This is based off of their legend of the Raven Mocker.

The Raven Mocker, or Night Goer as they are known in cherokee, are evil spirits or creatures with one goal in mind, eating the hearts of those who are sick or dying to extend their own lives.

And should their body begin to fall apart, they have a solution for that as well.
