Unspookable

On this special encore presentation of Unspookable we are looking back at one of our most requested topics: Momo. Why did this creepy sculpture go viral? What is the responsibility of the media in reporting these viral scares? And how can we protect ourselves from falling victim to these hoaxes? For media literacy resources for the whole family, please see our links below.

What do you think of when you hear the word "psychic"? Maybe a fortune teller in a dimly lit tent? A mind reader using their powers to cause chaos? Or a superhero who can bend the laws of space and time? The mysteries of the human mind have been studied by history's greatest thinkers since the beginning of time and we will look at all of these psychic powers and more on this episode of Unspookable.

This week is a special episode with one of our favorite podcast creators. Chelsey Weber-Smith of American Hysteria sits down with the Unspookable team to revisit a late 90s toy that I think most of you will remember, one that is making headlines once again as it hits the department store shelves of July 2023. Join us as we look at the urban legends, conspiracy theories, and freaky stories that enchanted the Furbies of yore, and what our mini panic can tell us about our human nature and America at large on this special collaboration between American Hysteria and Unspookable.

You can't fall asleep. Something in your bedroom doesn't feel quite right. Is there someone... or some thing else there? You have an urge to peek under the bed, but you don't dare. It's probably best to ignore it and try again to fall asleep... right? If you're like us, this feeling is all too familiar, but what are we so afraid of? Well, we have the answers as we're talking all things related to The Boogeyman on this episode of Unspookable.

If you are a regular Unspookable listener, we can only guess that, like the Unspookable team, you too are a big fan of mysteries; mysteries like “Does the Loch Ness monster exist?”, “Is there such a thing as ghosts?” or “Has it ever rained meat?” You might be surprised by the answer to that last question as we invite special guest Mick Sullivan (The Past and the Curious) to tell us about The Kentucky Meat Shower of 1876.

Have you ever thought about getting your first job? Where would you work? What would you have to do? Well, what if your first job was working the overnight shift at a pizzeria making sure the animatronic puppets don't come into contact with humans? That is exactly what happens in Five Nights at Freddy's, the runaway hit horror game, that has become one of Unspookable's most requested topics to cover. What is it about this game that has captured our imaginations? And why do we seek the thrills of being jump scared? That and more on today's episode of Unspookable.

Have you ever heard of The Backrooms? Maybe you've come across this strange never-ending series of liminal spaces on TikTok or on YouTube or maybe some games that you've played. The Backrooms are one of our most frequently requested topics and we were curious to explore why their flickering fluorescent lights, yellow walls, and endless mazes have captured your imaginations. That and more on this episode of Unspookable.
