This week we’re back in spooky Appalachia to explore a haunted attraction that might be a little too real. Sitting on 20 acres of a former Tennessee plantation is Frightmare Manor. The haunt’s story centers on Jeremiah Lexer, the former plantation owner who was secretly a serial killer, the shocking 1902 axe murders that exposed his crimes, and a pit of bodies believed to hold dozens of missing locals. It’s a dark legend that raises a bit of an eyebrow when you realize it’s now being used as entertainment.

Today the property is one of the country’s most popular haunted attractions, with a challenge so intense that almost no one completes it. Yet staff and visitors report shadow figures, strange noises, moving objects, and a man carrying an axe in the manor windows. So we have to wonder… are the scares just part of the show, or is something else haunting Frightmare Manor?

Across countries and childhood bedrooms, a tall shadow in a top hat appears to watch, threaten, protect, or possibly feed. This is one of the most infamous figures in paranormal lore: the Hat Man. Throughout the listener encounters we share, patterns emerge. He thrives in sleep paralysis. He appears during trauma. He lingers near children…Sleep tight.

Listener Stories Include:

• A listener in Brazil describes a pale man in a black suit and red tie who has appeared in her dreams since childhood, draining her energy and punishing her for speaking against him.

• A mother hides her young daughter under a blanket as a towering shadow in a top hat stands in the doorway insisting that any children he finds will be his.

• After ghostly handprints appear on a late night train ride, a top hatted shadow follows a family home, and eventually getting physical. 

• A new mom recounts postpartum sleep paralysis in which a tall figure lifts her newborn from the bassinet and vanishes while she is frozen in fear.

This week we take you to South Pass City, Wyoming, a gold rush boomtown turned ghost town where trailblazing women and lingering spirits share the same dusty streets. In honor of Women’s History Month, we dive into the wild story of how a rough and rowdy mining town helped spark women’s suffrage, introduced the first female justice of the peace, was home to Wyoming’s first female serial killer, and earned a permanent place in American history.

We’re wandering through the cemetery gates, and the spirits absolutely showed up. In this Encounters episode, we’re getting into listener stories all about cemetery experiences: historic graveyards, extra bodies, water logged brains, phantom smells and a smorgasbord of spirits and apparitions. And what’s a graveyard episode without a little late night Ouija action?

Stories include:

• A listener uncovers more bodies than expected during a historic cemetery relocation

• A routine grave cleaning turns terrifying when a listener smells decay, hears something shift underground, and seems to lose time.

• Friends see a bonneted woman during a late-night drive near William Faulkner’s grave.

• Alone in a bathhouse built under ancient graves, a man encounters a possible jinn with backward feet

• After contacting a spirit who says he’s “sad and alone,” a 12-year-old begins visiting a teenage boy’s grave weekly

No matter how hard we try, we can’t get enough of your haunted stories from Appalachia. We’re diving back into that familiar Appalachian unease… voices in the woods, figures that don’t feel quite human, and uncanny moments in the mountains where mimics, trickster fae and a smattering of local cryptids seem to know your name, your voice, and exactly how to lure you off the trail.

Stories include:

• A haunting summer camp encounter with a silent boy who appears and disappears without explanation

• Screams and howling dogs along a nighttime trail, paired with strangers who seem far too eager to lead the way

• A wedding weekend where missing keys return only after an offering is made to the Fae

• A hunter who hears a familiar voice calling him into the darkness… and realizes something is deeply wrong

We’re heading into the remote wilderness of Portlock, Alaska—an abandoned village with a truly terrifying reputation. In this episode, we dig into the legend of the Nantinaq, a towering, violent Bigfoot said to stalk the mountains, terrorize residents, and possibly drive an entire community to flee. Echoing screams in the night, unexplained disappearances, and grisly historical accounts haunt this stretch of coastline—along with reports of bodies beyond the tree line discovered with crushing blows no human could inflict.

Book mentioned: The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah

This week’s Encounters episode is a full-on paranormal kitchen sink episode. Anything goes as we dive into listener stories of glitchy realities, accidental séances, demonic laughter, doppelgängers, and near-death visions. Oh, and our podcast may have helped save one listener’s life during an ER visit.

Stories include:

• An old house where an entity throws objects, fills rooms with laughter, and appears as a doppelgänger.

• A series of near-death and out-of-body experiences that raise questions about timeline jumps, missing memories, and whether reality quietly rebooted.

• A sleep-talking incident that casually invokes Bloody Mary at 3 a.m. while the speaker is dreaming peacefully elsewhere.

• A moment where our podcast played an unexpected role in a real-life medical emergency.

We’re diving into the incredible story of Madam C.J. Walker, a woman who overcame unimaginable adversity to become America’s first self-made female millionaire and build a legacy that is still alive today. From her groundbreaking impact on Black entrepreneurship to the creation of the iconic Walker Theatre in Indianapolis, we explore how her vision, resilience, and determination helped create opportunities for generations of Black Americans.

Inside the historic Walker Theatre, staff and attendees report shadow figures, phantom footsteps, and a powerful presence that many believe is Madam Walker herself, still watching over the space she dreamed into existence.

Have you ever been mistaken for someone else? Or seen your roommate at home when they were actually at work? We’re digging into stories of doppelgängers, mimics, and familiar faces doing deeply unsettling things. Small moments of confusion escalate into full-on paranormal experiences, and just when you think it can’t get weirder, we wrap things up by examining photos listeners sent in of Corinne’s potential real-life doppelgängers.

Stories include:

• A child terrorized by glowing red eyes outside a basement window, followed by a shocking realization that something was impersonating him inside the house

• A fiancé who appears, speaks, and lets the dog out… despite never leaving his upstairs office

• A haunted warship filled with shadow figures, unexplained pressure on bunks, and repeated sightings of someone who isn’t awake

• Years-long doppelganger sightings in small towns where strangers confidently use the wrong name

Lake Lanier looks like the perfect summer escape—but beneath the surface, something is very, very wrong. In this episode, we revisit one of the most haunted and deadly lakes in America, where swimmers report invisible hands pulling them under, boats flip without warning, and an entire town sits frozen beneath the water. 

We first covered Lake Lanier nearly five years ago, focusing on the paranormal—but we missed something crucial. In this episode, we’re correcting that by diving into the erased history of Oscarville, a thriving Black community violently displaced and later buried beneath the lake.
