The Men in Black have haunted UFO lore for decades, but beyond the pop-culture myth lies something far stranger. From cloned, hairless strangers caught on hotel CCTV, to plastic-faced beings demanding UFO evidence, to teenagers losing entire weeks of their lives after a knock at the door, these encounters are some of the creepiest and most unnerving ever recorded.

CONTAINS MATURE THEMES - LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED

In 1972, 16-year-old Jeannette DePalma vanished from Springfield, New Jersey. Six weeks later, her decomposed body was found atop a rocky cliff known locally as “The Devil’s Teeth.” Talk of occult rituals and Satanic cults spread quickly, fuelled by media speculation and strange reports from the scene. But decades later, a very different picture emerged.

Something new stirs in the dark... This weekend, The Whispering Woods unveils After Dark, our most haunting tales yet. New Episodes every Saturday and Sunday.

High above the woods of eastern Louisville stands the Pope Lick Trestle, an active railway bridge with a terrifying reputation. For decades, locals have whispered about the Pope Lick Monster - a half-man, half-goat creature said to hypnotize trespassers and lure them to their deaths. The site has claimed numerous lives, each one tangled in the legend’s long shadow. In this episode, we explore the chilling folklore, its origins, and the tragic fatalities that gave an urban myth a body count.
