Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore two haunted houses considered to be among the most haunted in the United States--Willows Weep (Cayuga, Indiana) and The Haunted Hill House (Mineral Wells, Texas).

Both have a sordid history of violence and death--and are hotbeds for all types of paranormal phenomenon including EVPs, shadow people, spectral figures, and poltergeist activities.

Who are the ghosts residing in these houses? And would you have the courage to spend a night, alone?

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a near-universal terror--The Boogeyman. It's fascinating--no matter where you are on the planet, you're likely to hear warnings about the Boogeyman; and, those warnings are near-identical: "follow the rules or the Boogeyman will get you."

There's a reason so many kids around the world are terrified of the dark--it's because The Boogeyman can be anywhere and show up at any time; with devastating consequences.

Is the Boogeyman real?

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a terrifying tragedy--the disappearance of Bryce Laspisa. Every disappearance has a common thread: a lack of closure.

Late one night, Bryce Laspisa decided to drive the 450-mile drive from Chico, California to his parents' home in Laguna Niguel, Orange County. What should've been a 7-hour drive turned into a 30 hour--and now decade-long--nightmare.

What happened to Bryce Laspisa on August 30, 2013?

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a genuinely terrifying phenomenon--Spontaneous Human Combustion. There's something disquieting about the possibility that a human body--mine or yours--can erupt in flames at any moment, reducing us to nothing more than ash and bone fragments.

What is spontaneous human combustion, and is it a possibility, however rare, that the human body can erupt in flames at any time? Is it supernatural, or nothing more than an oversized myth with a natural explanation?

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a common, and normal phenomenon--imaginary friends. Research indicates imaginary friends are a healthy part of a child's growth and development. But, while science can explain why kids develop imaginary friends; it cannot explain who these imaginary friends really are.

What if evil and demonic spirits come in the form of imaginary friends and cozy up next to my—and your—kids? Is it possible that some imaginary companions are neither imaginary nor friendly?

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore something that scares most, if not all of us--a living doll. In this case, we'll look at arguably the scariest and most haunted doll in existence--Robert the Doll. His villainy is scary and widespread, and it's been claimed he's responsible for divorce, job loss, and at least one death.

Is it possible for an inanimate object to be a conduit for evil spirits, even the Devil himself? And what about the dolls in your own home—what malevolence might they be harboring, and planning?

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore an unsettling and terrifying phenomenon--Black-Eyed Children. No one is quite sure where the legend originated; or when, where, or why they show up. But, trust me, when they do--you'll know. Because the common denominator in every encounter with Black-Eyed Children is the overwhelming fear you feel when they're around.

What makes Black-Eyed Children so scary? And what would you do if you ever came face-to-face with them?
