This week’s episode goes six feet deep — literally. This week, we dig into the terrifying history and paranormal fallout of being buried alive. From 19th-century “safety coffins” with skylights and breathing tubes, to family members haunted by the images of their buried (or accidentally murdered?) loved ones — we look at what people once did to avoid the worst fate imaginable… and whether or not it worked.

We learn about Timothy Clark Smith, who designed his own escapable coffin in Vermont; the tragic tale of Octavia Hatcher, who may have awoken in her coffin after a mysterious illness; and Julia “The Italian Bride” Petta, whose body was found eerily preserved six years after her burial — and whose ghost still wanders the cemetery in a white wedding gown. Plus, a listener story includes a chilling paranormal discovery: a girl buried alive in the desert, revealed by a haunting spirit.

Whether it’s nightmares, bells ringing from beneath the ground, or brides turned ghostly guardians, this episode explores just how thin the line between life and death can be — and what lingers when we get it wrong. 🪦🔔

This week’s Encounters dives into the dark, strange, and often terrifying world of urban legends that turn out to be a little too real. La Llorona, BEK, Goat Man, The Devil’s Tree and Slender Man?! Are these just haunting tales passed around the campfire? What happens if they turn out to be real?! These listener stories might just prove that they are. 

We’re getting into:

A nighttime visit to Red Ash Cemetery turns terrifying when a ghostly woman on all fours transforms into something... not quite human.

A grandmother in Nepal encounters a black eyed kid — and nearly loses her life.

A cursed tree with ties to a real serial killer might be responsible for a listener’s heartbreaking paranormal loss.

A game of midnight hide-and-seek with Slender Man that reveals a ghost girl phasing through a fence.

A listener sees their mother at their bedroom door… except she never got out of bed that night.

Whether you’re chasing cryptid legends, playing paranormal games at 3 a.m., urban legends sometimes have roots in something very real — and very haunted.

This week, we explore the legend of Axe Murder Hollow — the chilling tale of a jealousy crazed, axe-wielding farmer that has passed down through generations in Erie Pennsylvania, and spread through northern Appalachia. What began as a ghost story passed between teens in the 1940s has since become one of the state’s most infamous tales — blending true crime, folklore, hauntings, and ghostly revenge. 

We’ll get into the rumors and theories that sprung up about what haunts Axe Murder Hollow. From the tale of Billy the Butcher to a 1963 double homicide that might have cemented the Hollow’s deadly reputation. 

Plus: High school newspaper gossip columns (1940s Gossip Girl vibes) turned paranormal record-keepers, vanishing spirits, phantom footsteps, and a spectral man in white with a headlamp and a gun. 

It’s part haunted history, part local lore, and all chills. 🪓👻

This week’s Encounters is all about the kind of paranormal experiences that happen when the veil is thinnest — during sleep — and what might be waiting there to deliver a message… or something much darker. From recurring childhood nightmares to messages from deceased loved ones, these stories blur the line between dreams, hauntings, and spiritual connection.

🛌 We’re talking:

A childhood sleep paralysis demon — who looked like a Muppet — returns years later… with kids.

A grandmother’s spirit delivers a chilling goodbye… hours before passing away.

A terrifying nightmare links two girls who didn’t even know each other — featuring the same Grim Reaper.

A listener wakes up in a cemetery with no memory of how she got there — and the bed she left behind is perfectly made.

A long-haunting demon with baby-like features is finally banished (maybe).

Whether it’s shared nightmares, ghostly goodbyes, or entities lurking in dream-realms, these stories will make you wonder what really happens when you fall asleep — and who might be waiting for you on the other side.

In 1903, the quiet coal town of Van Meter, Iowa was shaken by a terrifying series of sightings that would become one of the strangest cryptid encounters in American folklore. It started with a beam of light — not from the sky, but from a glowing horn attached to a massive, winged creature. Then came the sulfuric stench, the shrieks in the night, and the bullets that didn’t work. For five nights, the townspeople watched in fear as a mysterious beast (or two?) soared through the skies, undeterred by shotgun blasts and town patrols.

This is the legend of the Van Meter Visitor, a creature described as part-gargoyle, part-dragon, part-unicorn, and 100% nightmare fuel that the entire town tried — and failed — to take down. Plus, we’ll cover modern-day sightings, a plaster footprint, psychological and paranormal theories, and a festival held each year to commemorate this mysterious visitor.

Was it a time-traveling pterodactyl, an alien reconnaissance scout, or something ancient released from the mine? One thing’s for sure: whatever it was, it definitely wasn’t just a bat.

This week, we’re leaving our bodies behind and heading into the astral realm — reading listener stories of dream visitations, sleep paralysis spirits, and soul connections made outside the physical world. It’s eerie, emotional, and totally surreal.

Stories Include:

A spontaneous astral projection that leads one woman to a parallel timeline… where she meets the unborn brother she always felt was missing. A witch meets his astral soulmate — a stranger with a hole where his heart should be — and heals him with radiant golden light…

A ghost girl in a red-tinted dream whispers, “murder everyone in the house,” the night before bones are discovered in the yard.

Sleep paralysis turns peaceful (or pushy?) when a ghost gently presses someone into their partner.

A listener astral-projects across the room… thanks to the perfect frequency of her humming refrigerator.

Whether you’re deep into the Gateway Tapes like Sabrina or just love a good liminal-space scare, this episode is packed with fascinating out-of-body experiences that will leave you questioning the fabric of reality.

We’re off on a haunted pub crawl through Edinburgh’s Grassmarket — a charming old square with a dark and bloody past. Once home to executions, riots, and witch trials, it’s now a paranormal hotspot packed with ghosts, legends, and cursed bar stools.

Steeped in history and hauntings, the Grassmarket is where you can find spirits such as "Half-Hangit" Maggie Dickson, a woman who was executed at the gallows and LIVED to tell the tale (seriously), a mischievous ghost child named Maria who haunts the Last Drop bar and steals hot chocolate, and a pair of disembodied legs that wander through the White Hart Inn's cellar. We’re talking phantom touches, haunted beer taps, and an infamous gallows that claimed over 100 hundred lives during ‘The Killing Times’.

Join us — and the ghosts — for a round. 🍻

It’s officially summer, which means travel season — and with it, a whole new batch of haunted experiences. In this week’s Encounters, listeners share their strangest supernatural run-ins while camping, road-tripping, or staying in places that should’ve come with a paranormal warning label.

🛶 Listener Stories Include:

A glowing orb and a horrifying gray creature circle a New Mexico campsite in a shared encounter between two terrified campers.

A terrifying Airbnb with ceiling tapping, ghost girls, and a white mist that brushes someone’s hand.

A hotel bar with a dark history becomes the scene of a possible possession when a listener is overcome with sudden heartbreak.

A traveling ghost possibly attached to a hotel armchair follows a guest home.

A haunted hotel hand caress... a ghost flirtation? A spirit gently strokes a listener’s palm in the dark — and no one else was awake.

If you thought your vacation was stressful, wait until you hear these stories. Haunted road trips, creepy rentals, and ghostly tag-alongs? Count us in. Just maybe keep that hotel chair facing the other way.
