A listener who repeatedly wakes during paralysis contorted into impossible positions, as if something has physically moved them A couple whose sleep experiences begin to overlap, as one partner’s recurring entity bleeds into the other’s nightmares
A childhood bedroom transforming into a western saloon during a vivid episode
A shadowy figure that restrains a listener and destroys a protective necklace
A sleep paralysis encounter escalates when a listener is dragged across the bed

We’re heading deep into the Appalachian Mountains to uncover the Cherokee legend of the Nvnehi, immortal beings not bound by time or space, who live inside the mountains, under rivers, and just outside our perception.
Rumors of phantom music in the woods, hidden underground towns, invisible warriors, and people who slip in and out of our world have long haunted the region. These aren’t ghosts or fae, but a parallel humanity that loves music, dancing, and occasionally whisking unsuspecting humans into pocket dimensions where time doesn’t behave.

Stories include:
A haunted hotel phone that keeps ringing, even after it’s unplugged
A CNA who may have witnessed Death itself during an overnight shift
A medical alert and 911 call activated by someone who had already passed away
A foggy late-night drive that lead to an encounter with Hawaii’s Green Lady
A terrifying ambulance ride through the desert where time—and reality—seem to disappear

Pig Lady Road is one of New Jersey’s most intriguing urban legends—a dark, winding road where a half-woman, half-pig apparition is said to appear to unlucky drivers after midnight. We break down the rumored origins of the Pig Lady, tragic tales of disfigurement and isolation that lead a vengeful spirit to wait for curious teens to test their luck.
But the most likely origin of this legend is very real and very disturbing: the Hall–Mills murders of 1922, a sensational double homicide involving secret affairs, powerful families, missing evidence, and a witness cruelly nicknamed “the Pig Woman.” We explore how true crime, media frenzy, class dynamics and misogyny blurred together to thwart justice and transform a real woman into folklore. This brutal case sparked a century of haunting stories that still linger on New Jersey roads today.

What’s scarier than midterms, tuition bills, and questionable life choices? Haunted colleges, obviously. In this episode, we kick off the new year by canceling the bills (manifesting ✨), embracing the chaos of college nostalgia, and diving into stories of dorm rooms, sorority houses, and campuses everywhere that are absolutely crawling with spirits.
Stories include:
A dorm room “prank” that turns terrifying when a shadow perfectly mimics a real student who never left his bedroom
A haunted sorority house where mysterious porcelain dolls appear—and a fedora-wearing man watches from under the bed
A campus legend involving a long-dead butter-producing cow
Historic campuses with Revolutionary-era spirits, footsteps between floors, and encounters that feel personal rather than threatening

This week, we’re heading to Florida to unravel one of the weirdest engineering mysteries in modern times: Coral Castle. Built entirely by one man working alone in the dead of night, this limestone labyrinth features finger-push doors weighing tons, a sun dial and astrological alignments, magnetic anomalies, levitation rumors and a heartbreak-fueled origin story.
Was Edward Leedskalnin a misunderstood genius, a keeper of secret knowledge, or something stranger? We dive into accounts of floating stones, spinning compasses, humming vibrations, and theories ranging from magnetism and sound frequencies to anti-gravity and full-on wizard behavior.

We’re bringing a spooky twist to the holiday season as we explore two winter legends lurking in the shadows. First, we unravel the tale of the Derry Fairy—a tiny green creature spotted in the 1950s New Hampshire woods by a Christmas-tree hunter, sparking theories of fairies, goblins, and even aliens watching from the pines.
Then we journey into Slavic folklore to meet Baba Yaga, the iconic witch who roams the winter forest in her hut on chicken legs. Terrifying, wise, and wildly powerful, she appears during the darkest days of the year to test, challenge, or help those who cross her path.

We’re joined by astrologer Aliza Kelly for a very special episode and a full-on astrological investigation into one of America’s most chilling legends: the Bell Witch.
We revisit this infamous 1800s haunting, where the Bell family faced spectral scratching, whispered voices, bedcovers ripped away, and even a dog-bodied, rabbit-headed creature. The witch boldly quoted sermons, sang hymns, and—according to historical accounts—was responsible for the only documented case of a spirit killing someone.
With Aliza’s cosmic lens, we unravel astrological patterns that may explain the timing of the hauntings, the entity’s vengeance, and the strange synchronicities woven through the Bell family's torment.

The Tallman House looked like the perfect Midwest dream — quiet street, fresh start, growing family. But everything shifted the day they brought home a secondhand bunk bed. Within nights, the bedroom filled with whispers, chanting, cold spots, and a ghost that knew their names.
Then came a terrifying escalation: a woman standing in flames at the foot of the bed. Both children saw her. Neither had told the other she existed. Soon the bunk bed shook on its own, objects flew through the air, and a mist hovered in the corner each night, inching closer until it finally whispered to Allen: “You’re dead.”
Watch the missing Unsolved Mysteries segment filmed inside the Tallman House here.

We’re diving headfirst into the eerie and hilarious world of nannying and babysitting gone paranormal, inspired by the delightfully twisted Housemaid series. We share listener tales filled with demonic toddlers, haunted bedrooms, headless Barbies, phantom footsteps, and ghost kids who just want to play.
Stories include:
A babysitter overhears a three-year-old negotiating with someone named Lucifer—and he’s not a fan of the sitter.
A nanny hears thumps from a blocked-off closet and unexplained lights, while the child acts unfazed by the ghostly chaos.
An au pair hears heavy footsteps when no one’s home, an uncle gets violently shaken on the couch, and a mother hears her child calling for her—even though they’re miles away.
A nanny sees a child sprint through the kitchen—even though the real child is elsewhere—and hears a voice whisper, “Wake him up!”
If you thought your childhood babysitting gig was weird, wait until you hear what our listeners have survived.
