  • S6E18 - The Lost Boy In Gigantus (Scarecast Originals)

    "Gigantus is a monster. Once made entirely of wood, it was converted into steel not that long ago. The ancient wooden beams and bones of its body were primarily switched out for a metal spine and reinforced ribs… such that loops and steeper drops could be incorporated. However, it still retains much of its wooden origins in the design, giving it a chimeric, otherworldly appearance.

    There are stories about this ride. Disturbing stories about accidents, deaths, and unsolved, unsettling secrets. Not surprising, really, when you consider how old the thing is… But still. The theme park doesn’t care. It only serves to bolster the ride’s mystique.

    And here’s a fun fact for you. Did you know that after someone dies on a rollercoaster, interest in that coaster- and attendance at the park- actually increase?"

  • S6E12 - 2 Scary Stories: Look Behind You!

    Have you ever been invited out with your family only for you to reject them and stay home all alone... yeah... you know where this is going. The first story in this episode will make you think twice about being home all alone on a rainy night. The second story in this episode is a tricky one, just be ready for a nice twist towards the ending! And P.S. pay attention to your surroundings and not your neighbor's so much, because danger can come out of nowhere.

  • S6E11 - 3 Scary Stories: Don't Go Through This Drive Thru

    This episode begins with a young man's interest in his neighbor sitting inside a cage for days on end, only to expose himself to a dark secret once he decides to see why. The second scary story revolves around a man's wife who wants to stay in her son's life, even after death, and retaliates once her special bond with her son becomes known to the father. The third scary story will make you want to skip that drive-thru on your long road trip because you never know who may be on the other side of that speaker.

  • S6E10 - Why I Can't Go To Disneyland Anymore (Scarecast Originals)

    Disneyland is known to be the happiest place on Earth, a place where nothing creepy should happen, but… it’s not like that; did you know that it’s a common thing for people to spread their loved one’s ashes over there? Be aware that if you choose Mickey Mouse’s home in California to be your last resting place, you’ll end up inside a vacuum cleaner for eternity. But, as it happens to most things we love, the internet has brought some obscure information that has put the theme park under a not so magic light.

    Disneyland has become infamous for its ghost stories, something that – instead of being harmful to the park’s reputation – has piqued the interest of many people, primarily teenagers and young adults. One of Disneyland’s famous ghosts, in particular, has been very popular lately, thanks to some TikTok going around. Well… I am probably one of the first people ever to spot him, and I have some things to say about Mr. One Way.

  • S6E9 - 3 Scary Stories: Do Not Buy The Lost Disney Movie Off The Dark Web

    Have you watched all the Disney movies that have ever come out? Well, you may not have heard of the lost Disney movie that never got released... well... at least officially. This episode will show you what this lost movie is all about, and you will see why it never got to see the light of day, and why the person who made the film has since disappeared. Strange humanoid figures have also been seen around town... perhaps a caller on this podcast will share his experience first hand. Also, be careful taking night walks in the forest, even though you may not have had trouble going for one in the past, the next time could be very different!
