Join me in The Red Treehouse as we hear a terrific horror fiction short story: You're Not My Mother, written by L.R. Pearl. Of all the stories and topics we’ve covered on The Red Treehouse, my absolute favorites are author submissions. I’m always honored when an author submits an original story and am always excited to narrate these scary stories to keep you up at night. 

So, sit back, pull up the covers, and pay close attention as I read, You're Not My Mother.

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore El Cuco, the Puerto Rican Bogeyman. It’s a near-universal truth that legends about the Bogeyman exist all over the world, and while these monsters take on different forms and have unique backstories, the Bogeyman stands as a reminder of the power of folklore and oral tradition.

In many Spanish-speaking countries, the Bogeyman is known as “El Coco,” though the specific name varies from country to country and culture to culture. Other variations of El Coco include “Coca, Cucuy, Cuca, Cucu, Cucui,”—and of course, El Cuco. Despite the variations in name and details, there is a terrifying reality that ties them all together:

El Coco is a child-eater. 

What makes this monster so scary? And does he really snatch unruly children or is he nothing more than an urban legend?

Join me in The Red Treehouse as I read you a classic horror short story--The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell.

First published in 1924, The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell, has been called “the most popular short story ever written in English.” This classic story introduces us to a big-game hunter who reaches what appears to be a deserted island. Except, it isn’t—and eventually, he finds himself squarely in the crosshairs as the big-game hunter becomes the hunted.

Now, 100 years old, this classic story has been adapted many times—and has the distinction of possibly being referenced by the infamous Zodiac Killer who terrorized California in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

So, sit back, turn down the lights, pull up the covers, and pay close attention as I read The Most Dangerous Game.

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore an the alleged haunting of an iconic American landmark--the White House. Constructed in 1792, the White House stands as the icon of Washington, D.C. in a city filled with statues, monuments, and memorials. 46 presidents have called the sprawling grounds home--and with a 225-year history, it makes good sense visitors from all over the world have claimed it to be haunted.

Is the White House truly haunted? And if so, which spirits stalk the hallways and rooms of America’s most famous home?

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a tragic--and eerie--story, The Bosco Murders. In 1993, John and Nancy Bosco were found murdered in their home in Ferndale, Montana—they’d been shot to death while they slept in their beds. In some ways, there’s nothing extraordinary about this tragedy.

Except, John’s mother, Toni, had a nightmare that something awful was going to happen to her son. And, after the murders were committed, and the trail went cold, police brought in a psychic—who may have helped solve the case. And, if that wasn’t enough, the murderer claimed to have been haunted by a recurring nightmare—that prophesied what he was going to do months before he did it.

Is it possible for human beings to tell the future? Is it possible to tap into some unseen force that allows us to know things are going to happen before they do? Could the murders of John and Nancy Bosco have been prevented?
