The Supernaturals

In November of 1893, Elias Blackwood arrives London in search of work. He meets a mysterious man named Bart who leads them to a remote English village known as Scarlet’s Rest, where something sinister has taken hold of its people. What begins as a seemingly simple offer of work soon draws Elias into a world of ancient curses, dark magic, and horrors beyond anything he could have imagined.

Join us for the first chapter of The Silver Hunter, a gothic horror story filled with mystery, supernatural terror, and the beginning of an unexpected journey.

Welcome to Scarlet’s Rest. Some places are better left forgotten.

In 1612, a series of accusations in the small villages surrounding Pendle Hill would become one of the most infamous witch trials in English history.

In this episode of The Supernaturals Podcast, we travel back to Lancashire, England, in 1612 to uncover the disturbing story of the Pendle Witch Trials. What began with an encounter between Alizon Device and a traveling peddler named John Law quickly spiraled into accusations involving the Device and Chattox families, alleged curses, supernatural attacks, and a gathering at Malkin Tower that authorities would ultimately interpret as a meeting of witches.

We'll meet the people at the center of the case, including Old Demdike, Old Chattox, Elizabeth Device, Alizon Device, James Device, Anne Redferne, and Alice Nutter. We'll also explore the testimony of Jennet Device, the nine-year-old girl whose testimony became one of the most important pieces of evidence in the trials.

The accused were eventually taken to Lancaster Castle, where they faced trial for witchcraft. Ten people were ultimately convicted and executed by hanging.

But were they actually witches?

Were they practicing folk magic? Were old family rivalries and community disputes transformed into accusations of witchcraft? Or did fear and superstition turn ordinary tragedies into evidence of something supernatural?

We'll examine the historical evidence, the accusations, the court proceedings, the testimony, and the unanswered questions that still surround the Pendle witches more than 400 years later.

What would you do if you saw someone standing alone in the middle of a dark road?

Would you stop?

Would you offer them a ride?

Or would you keep driving?

In this episode of The Supernaturals Podcast, we're hitting the road for five chilling stories involving haunted roads, mysterious figures, ghostly hitchhikers, and terrifying encounters that drivers have reported over the years.

From the infamous Resurrection Mary of Chicago, to the ghostly sightings of Blue Bell Hill in England, to strange encounters with the Red-Headed Phantom, we'll explore some of the most unsettling stories connected to roads and highways.

We'll also travel to California to uncover the strange legend surrounding Hicks Road, before ending with the mysterious ghost said to appear on Fifth Street Hill in West Virginia.

Some of these stories have been passed down as local legends. Others come from reported encounters. And while there's no way to prove that every supernatural claim is true, the stories themselves have endured for decades.

Because there's something uniquely terrifying about being alone on a dark road.

No one around.

No houses nearby.

Just your headlights cutting through the darkness...

…and something standing just beyond them.

Tonight, we're going for a drive.

THE BLOOD COUNTESS | A GOTHIC HALLOWEEN SPECIAL 

Tonight, we travel deep into the mountains of 16th-century Hungary, where castles rise above dark forests, villages disappear beneath the fog, and whispers of a terrible secret begin spreading through the countryside.

For this special episode of The Supernaturals Podcast, we tell the story of Elizabeth Báthory, the Blood Countess, as you've never heard it before.

Rather than simply recounting her story, we've created this episode as a Gothic horror novel brought to life. From the landscape and isolated villages of historical Hungary to the daily life of the people who lived beneath the shadow of the aristocracy, we set the scene before descending into one of history's darkest legends.

Young servant girls begin disappearing.

Rumors spread through the countryside.

And behind the walls of Čachtice Castle, stories emerge of unimaginable cruelty.

Elizabeth Báthory has become one of the most infamous figures in true crime and dark history, accused of torturing and murdering numerous young women. But perhaps the most famous part of her legend is the horrifying claim that she bathed in the blood of her victims in an attempt to preserve her youth and beauty.

But how much of the Blood Countess legend is actually true?

In this Halloween Gothic Special, we explore the history and folklore surrounding Elizabeth Báthory, the alleged murders, the missing servant girls, the infamous blood-bathing legend, the investigation into Čachtice Castle, and the questions that still surround her story centuries later.

Was Elizabeth Báthory truly one of history's most prolific female killers?

Was the infamous story of bathing in blood nothing more than a later legend?

Or is there something darker hidden beneath the centuries of folklore?

Turn off the lights.

Put on your headphones.

And step into the darkness.

The story of the Blood Countess begins now.

Was Houska Castle really built over the Gates of Hell?

Deep within the forests of the Czech Republic sits one of the world's most mysterious castles. Unlike every other medieval fortress, Houska Castle wasn't built to defend a city, guard a trade route, or protect a kingdom. According to centuries-old legend, it was built for one terrifying purpose… to seal a bottomless pit believed to be the Gateway to Hell.

In this episode of The Supernaturals Podcast, we investigate the history, folklore, and paranormal claims surrounding Houska Castle. Was there really a bottomless chasm beneath the chapel? Did a condemned prisoner return from the pit with white hair after witnessing unimaginable horrors? Why does the castle's architecture seem so unusual? And what role did the Nazis play when they occupied the castle during World War II?

We'll separate historical fact from centuries of legend as we explore one of Europe's most haunted locations. From reports of the mysterious Black Monk, shadow figures, ghostly apparitions, and unexplained encounters to the castle's connection with Nazi occult rumors, this is the complete story behind one of history's greatest supernatural mysteries.

Whether you believe Houska Castle hides a portal to Hell or simply inspired one of the greatest legends ever told, this is a mystery that continues to fascinate historians, paranormal investigators, and ghost hunters around the world.

What happens when police, investigators, or ordinary people stumble across something that looks like a Satanic ritual?

In this episode of The Supernaturals Podcast, we explore five strange and disturbing cases involving alleged Satanic rituals, occult practices, mysterious shrines, ritual sites, and bizarre discoveries uncovered by police and unsuspecting witnesses. From hidden altars and mysterious caves to animal deaths and abandoned buildings, these cases reveal some of the strangest alleged occult activity ever investigated.

We begin in Colorado, where a vacant property revealed a disturbing collection of occult-looking objects, including a cauldron, candles, bones, and other strange items. Then we travel to Missouri, where a young jogger reportedly witnessed a group of people conducting what appeared to be a ritual inside a cave, only for investigators to discover an even stranger scene when they arrived.

Next, we head to England, where police investigating an unrelated incident discovered a hidden Satanic shrine inside a backyard coal bunker. The case became even more disturbing when investigators discovered that the teenager connected to the shrine had become entangled in a much larger series of strange events involving occult beliefs, threats, and the unexplained death of a 26-year-old man.

Then we examine the bizarre case of ten black rabbits found dead and arranged in a formation on an elementary school playground. Police considered the possibility of a Satanic ritual, but another explanation was also investigated. What happened to the animals, and why they were left where they were, remained a disturbing mystery.

Finally, we travel to West Haven, Connecticut, where a 14-year-old boy exploring an abandoned incinerator discovered strange occult markings. When police investigated, they reportedly found what appeared to be a makeshift Satanic temple containing an altar, candles, a wax skull, animal remains, blood, occult symbols, and pages of writing in Spanish and Latin. But the most unsettling detail was that investigators believed the site may have been used only days earlier. And then they discovered another similar site just hundreds of yards away.

Were these truly Satanic rituals? Were they examples of occult practices? Or were some of these disturbing discoveries misunderstood or exaggerated over time?

Join us as we investigate five strange Satanic ritual stories, occult mysteries, mysterious shrines, ritual sites, and real world discoveries that left police and witnesses searching for answers.
