Welcome, creeps...

In this episode of The Umbra Tapes, we’re uncovering the dark history of Love Canal, where thousands of tons of chemical waste were buried before homes, a school, and an entire community took its place.

Years later, that hidden past began resurfacing with devastating consequences. We’re exploring how it happened, the families who fought to expose the truth, and the environmental disaster that changed the community forever.

From ghostly figures and unexplained encounters to the mysterious Iceman, this historic Colorado hotel has no shortage of chilling stories.

We’re diving into the Stanley’s fascinating history, its most infamous hauntings, and the night Stephen King spent inside that would inspire "The Shining". What really happened within these walls, and how much is history, haunting, or legend?

Welcome, creeps...

In this episode, we explore the strange murder of Teresita Basa. A case that may have been solved by the victim herself.

Months after Teresita was murdered in her Chicago apartment, another woman began entering trance-like states and speaking in a voice claiming to be Teresita. The voice named her killer and revealed details about the crime that ultimately led investigators straight to a suspect.

Was Teresita really speaking from beyond the grave, or is there another explanation for how her murder was solved?

Welcome, creeps...

In this episode of Tales of the Unknown, we're venturing into the unsettling world of American folklore, exploring the terrifying legends of the Hidebehind, the Hat Man, the Boo Hag, the Black-eyed children, the Not Deer and more.

From sleep paralysis encounters to generations of whispered warnings passed through mountain communities, we examine the stories, origins, and eerie similarities that continue to leave people questioning whether these are simply myths... or something far more difficult to explain.

Whether you believe these tales are nothing more than folklore or think every legend begins with a grain of truth, one thing is certain, you may never look at the woods... or the darkness beside your bed... quite the same again.
