  • Spooky Summer: Figures in the Woods & the Haunted Ecuadorian B&B

    What would you do if you woke up to find a dark figure standing silently at the foot of your bed?

    In this episode, we dive into three unsettling encounters that left witnesses searching for answers. First we got back to the haunted bed-and-breakfast in Ecuador, where multiple guests reported seeing the same mysterious shadow figure. Then we head deep into the wilderness, where a solo camper realizes he may not be as alone as he thought and a ranger witnesses something he will never forget.

    Were these encounters paranormal, human, or something else entirely? Listen now and decide for yourself.

    Plus, I'm asking listeners to share their own shadow figure experiences for a future episode. Where did you see it?

    Halloween night is supposed to be filled with laughter, costumes, and candy. But one year, the fun ended in tragedy—and left behind a story so dark it turned into one of America’s most chilling Halloween urban legends.

I unravel the mystery of the so-called “Candyman”, explore the events leading up to the tragedy, the investigation that followed, and the trial that revealed dark motives driven by financial desperation. The case not only shocked the community but also left a lasting impact on Halloween traditions, instilling fear and caution in parents regarding the safety of Halloween treats.

  • S2 Ep8: The Jersey Devil
    For over 200 years, the dense Pine Barrens of New Jersey have been home to one of America’s most infamous cryptids: the Jersey Devil. Described as a creature with leathery wings, a horse-like face, and a blood-curdling scream, the Jersey Devil has reportedly haunted locals and travelers alike, leaving a trail of eerie sightings and unexplained attacks.

    In this episode, I delve into the legend’s origins, from the mysterious "Mother Leeds" curse to tales of supernatural encounters in the dark woods. I explore eyewitness accounts, sift through historical records, and consider theories that range from cryptozoology to folklore.

    Join me as I hunt for the truth behind the Jersey Devil and its enduring hold on the imagination of New Jersey’s Pine Barrens. Then head to the Unlocking the Paranormal Instagram Page to take the poll, on if you believe the Jersey Devil is real or legend.
