Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a disturbing and unsettling story--The Gorbals Vampire. In September 1954, in Glasgow, Scotland, hundreds of children invaded The Southern Necropolis to hunt down and kill the terrifying Gorbals Vampire.

A now-infamous case of mass hysteria, the children genuinely believed they were under threat of attack by a 7-foot-tall vampire with glowing red eyes--and iron teeth.

What caused over four hundred children to arm themselves and search out a supernatural--and undead--enemy?

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore arguably the most famous cryptid of all time--The Loch Ness Monster.

Sightings of "Nessie" go back nearly 1500 years, with nearly every eyewitness claiming a prehistoric creature is roaming the dark, murky, cold depths of Loch Ness.

Is there really a prehistoric beast hiding in Scotland's largest lake? Or is The Loch Ness Monster nothing more than an oversized myth?

Were evil clowns really showing up when you least expected it? And if so, what were their motives and purpose?

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a terrifying and mysterious creature: Skinwalkers, and an infamous paranormal hotspot: Skinwalker Ranch.

According to Navajo legend, Skinwalkers are among the most evil creatures--a human/animal hybrid that is pure evil and is near-impossible to kill. And, in Utah, one ranch plays host to a variety of paranormal, supernatural, and extraterrestrial phenomena--including Skinwalkers.

Are Skinwalkers real? And is Skinwalker Ranch in Ballard, Utah really a paranormal hotspot?
