Some of the most beloved Christmas traditions are derivative of Pagan Winter Solstice practices; However, what can be said about that jolly bearded man donning a red suit, led by a band of magical flying reindeer? Where exactly did Santa Claus come from and who or what is he? In the final conspiracy themed episode of the 2024 season, Nat pushes Aly headfirst into a task most are too afraid to tackle: the Santa Claus Conspiracy. For this Christmas special, we will prove that Jolly Old St. Nicholas is in fact a real guy with a real team of magical reindeer that will absolutely be flying to your home on Christmas Eve...that is unless you have been naughty!

Is there a reason our history books recount romanticized versions of the First Thanksgiving attended by Pilgrims and Native Americans, but never thought to dedicate a chapter to supernatural entities the Native Americans warned the pilgrims about? Today Nat brings Aly and special guests Adam & Matt along for a deep dive into not only one of North America’s oldest mysteries, but one of the only mysteries that is required reading for many Americans! Join us this week as we devour the mysteries surrounding the doomed lost colony of Roanoke.

During the height of the “Satanic Panic” during the 80s and 90s, a new subgenre of music emerged seemingly from the depths of hell. At the forefront of the Norwegian black metal scene was a band known as Mayhem which became famous for their rebellious demonic sound and live displays of violence and gore, until the corpse Mayhem’s singer was discovered in 1991. As relics of cranium pieces, talk of cannibalism, and death photos became commonplace within the black metal scene, the public began to wonder whether the evil was just a gimmick or if something darker lingered within the lyrics. Join us on this journey through the macabre as Nat summons the grisliest details of Mayhem’s dark past for Aly’s own haunted education. Plus, we are joined by special guest Shannon Mcnamara of Fluently Forward!

Welcome to Episode 201: The Backrooms! Have you ever heard of The Backrooms? The Backrooms are widely considered to be the most popular and prolific internet urban legend in existence. The Backrooms are often depicted as an endless series of empty, yellow-lit rooms with old, stained carpet, fluorescent lights, and monotonous, beige walls. These rooms are said to feel like a surreal or dreamlike version of an ordinary office or storage space, giving an unsettling and otherworldly impression. People end up in The Backrooms by accidentally “no-clipping” out of reality, a concept borrowed from video game jargon, where one passes through boundaries in a game. In the Backrooms mythos, this happens unintentionally, leaving individuals stranded in this strange, featureless space. The Backrooms concept taps into the creepiness of liminal spaces, areas that feel like they exist between worlds (like empty malls or abandoned office buildings). They feel both familiar and alien, evoking feelings of loneliness, unease, or nostalgia. As the concept grew, communities began creating “levels” of The Backrooms, each with unique characteristics and environments (such as flooding or vast warehouse spaces).

Welcome to the final episode of Season 6 of “What’s Haunting You?”, a Miniature Haunting series brought to you by Let’s Get Haunted. On each Friday of this Spooky Season, Nat and Aly will be bringing you short, scary, non-fiction stories as told by the folks who experienced them firsthand. Come join us on this trip through the LGH archives as we dare to answer the question, “What’s haunting you?” 

On this week’s episode, we feature stories from Thomas, Wyatt, and Katelyn. Thomas grew up on the Colville Indian Reservation in eastern Washington. One day while out for a run in the mountains, he encounters a terrifying beast that he believes might have been a skinwalker. Wyatt was a merchant marine who spent many years on the open seas. Far away from civilization, strange things can be seen both day and night while passing through some of Earth’s less-traveled waterways: from orbs and UAPs to cryptids and creatures. Katelyn and her dad were out geocaching in the Alaskan woods in summer. Try as they might, they couldn’t find the last geocache of the day. A few weeks later, they decide to try again and go on the hunt for it, but when they finally find it they’re left with more questions than answers.

SKIP TO 00:20:10 TO GET TO THIS WEEK’S STORY!

During the 16th and 17th century, legends of a golden city known as “El Dorado” permeated throughout the “New World.” The quest to find this mysterious source of gold was often followed in its wake by a curse of death and destruction. Modern historians dismiss El Dorado as nothing more than myth, but what if a golden empire actually did exist? New evidence suggests that the lore might go deeper than ever previously conceived. Join us on this epic quest for gold as Nat teaches Aly all about what secrets the Amazon might be holding onto!
