When you hear “fairy,” you probably picture something small, glowing, and harmless.But the original stories?They were never meant to be comforting.In this episode, we’re diving into the real folklore behind the fae. These powerful, unpredictable beings from Celtic tradition were believed to exist alongside us… just out of sight.We’re talking about the rules people followed to avoid angering them, the terrifying idea of changelings, and the stories of people who stepped into their world… and came back to find years had passed.Because to the people who believed in them, the fae weren’t magical little creatures.They were something you respected.Something you feared.And maybe… something that never actually left.Email us your stories: [email protected]Follow us:Instagram — instagram.com/zombabespodcastTikTok — tiktok.com/@thezombabespodcastYouTube — youtube.com/@zombabespodcastTwitch — twitch.tv/zombabespodcastEverything in one place: linktr.ee/thezombabespodcastHosted by Amanda Bolton and Sophia HoltProduced and Edited by Laura BelgeMusic by Ian BaertleinLogo by Jordan Fraser

In this episode, we’re diving into the stories people don’t usually say out loud like voices calling from the woods, animals that don’t move quite right, and the long-standing warnings passed down for generations.Most people call them “skinwalkers.” But that word doesn’t actually belong to Appalachia, and what’s happening in these mountains might be something else entirely.We’re breaking down where these stories come from, how social media amplified them, and what could really be behind the sightings.Because whether it’s myth, misidentification, or something older… one rule always stays the same:If something calls your name from the woods…no it didn’t.Email us your stories: [email protected] us:Instagram — instagram.com/zombabespodcastTikTok — tiktok.com/@thezombabespodcastYouTube —    / @zombabespodcast  Twitch — twitch.tv/zombabespodcastEverything in one place: linktr.ee/thezombabespodcastHosted by Amanda Bolton and Sophia HoltProduced and Edited by Laura BelgeMusic by Ian BaertleinLogo by Jordan Fraser

What if everything beneath your feet… wasn’t what it seemed?The Hollow Earth theory claims that deep below the surface of our planet lies something hidden—vast spaces, lost civilizations, maybe even entire worlds.But this idea didn’t start as a conspiracy.From early scientific theories by Edmond Halley to polar exploration myths and Cold War secrecy tied to figures like Richard E. Byrd, the Hollow Earth theory has evolved for centuries.In this episode, we’re not asking if it’s real—we’re asking why people have believed it for so long.Because sometimes the most interesting part of a theory… isn’t the claim.It’s what it says about us.Email us your stories: [email protected] us:Instagram — instagram.com/zombabespodcastTikTok — tiktok.com/@thezombabespodcastYouTube — youtube.com/@zombabespodcastTwitch — twitch.tv/zombabespodcastEverything in one place: linktr.ee/thezombabespodcastHosted by Amanda Bolton and Sophia HoltProduced and Edited by Laura BelgeMusic by Ian BaertleinLogo by Jordan Fraser

Megachurches are bigger than ever with massive crowds, viral performances, and pastors with millions of followers.But as these churches grow in size, influence, and wealth… more people are starting to ask questions.In this episode, we take a closer look at modern megachurch culture, how they operate, what they prioritize, and why it’s becoming so controversial.From pastors like Mike Todd and Joel Osteen to institutions like Lakewood Church, we explore the line between faith, influence, and entertainment, and where that line might be getting blurred.This isn’t about attacking religion.It’s about asking the question:When an institution built on humility starts to look like a business… what does that mean?Email us your stories: [email protected] us:Instagram — instagram.com/zombabespodcastTikTok — tiktok.com/@thezombabespodcastYouTube — youtube.com/@zombabespodcastTwitch — twitch.tv/zombabespodcastEverything in one place: linktr.ee/thezombabespodcastHosted by Amanda Bolton and Sophia HoltProduced and Edited by Laura BelgeMusic by Ian BaertleinLogo by Jordan Fraser

We present you with The Lost Episode!

What if, in the moment you’re closest to death… someone appears to help you survive?

Across history, explorers, mountaineers, astronauts, and disaster survivors have described the same chilling experience: an unseen presence walking beside them when they were freezing, starving, or completely alone.

This phenomenon is known as Third Man Syndrome.

From Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton sensing a fourth companion during a deadly trek, to mountaineer Reinhold Messner feeling someone guiding him down a mountain, the stories are eerily similar.

Is it the brain’s ultimate survival mechanism… or something watching over us when we need it most?

What someone does right before they disappear can sometimes be the most disturbing part of the story.A 911 call from the side of a dark highway.A crash where the driver says help is coming… and then vanishes.A night out that ends with someone walking into a bar and never leaving.In this episode we look at the final known moments of several infamous disappearances, including Brandon Lawson, Maura Murray, Brian Shaffer, and Ray Gricar.Each case ends differently, but all of them stop at the same place: a moment when something clearly went wrong.Sometimes the most unsettling clues aren’t what happens after someone disappears…They’re the last thing they said before.Email us your stories: [email protected] us:Instagram — instagram.com/zombabespodcastTikTok — tiktok.com/@thezombabespodcastYouTube — youtube.com/@zombabespodcastTwitch — twitch.tv/zombabespodcastEverything in one place: linktr.ee/thezombabespodcastHosted by Amanda Bolton and Sophia HoltProduced and Edited by Laura BelgeMusic by Ian BaertleinLogo by Jordan Fraser

High above Eureka Springs sits a towering limestone hotel known as 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa — and it’s been called “America’s Most Haunted Hotel.”Built as a luxury resort in 1886, the Crescent later became a fraudulent cancer hospital run by conman Norman Baker, where patients came seeking hope… and many never left.Today, guests report seeing spirits in the halls, smelling antiseptic near the old morgue, and experiencing terrifying activity in the infamous Room 218.Email us your stories: [email protected] us:Instagram — instagram.com/zombabespodcastTikTok — tiktok.com/@thezombabespodcastYouTube — youtube.com/@zombabespodcastTwitch — twitch.tv/zombabespodcastEverything in one place: linktr.ee/thezombabespodcastHosted by Amanda Bolton and Sophia HoltProduced and Edited by Laura BelgeMusic by Ian BaertleinLogo by Jordan Fraser

Today we’re heading to Atchison to explore one of America’s most infamous haunted houses: The Sallie House.

Built in 1867 and once home to Dr. Charles Finney, this quiet residence became the center of terrifying paranormal claims in the 1990s. A botched surgery. A little girl named Sallie. Violent scratches. A nursery rearranged. And a family who says they were pushed to the edge by something unseen.

But here’s the twist...there’s no official record that Sallie ever existed.

So what’s really haunting the Sallie House? A lonely child spirit? Something darker? Or one of the most successful paranormal tourism legends in America?
