What draws you to the paranormal, the haunted? Maybe you’ve experienced something for yourself – something you’ve spent years trying to write off as a coincidence despite a little voice in your ear telling you to look deeper into it; go on; you know you want to. Maybe it’s something you want to experience but never have, you urban explorers and paranormal investigators out there. Perhaps you’re a skeptic who likes a good story and a strong shiver down your spine – don’t worry, we won’t judge as long as you don’t.

Humans, eh? Always craving company like a ghost at a séance. We’re social creatures, whether we’re swapping ghost stories around a campfire or virtually through the eerie glow of our screens. We cling to connections like a paranormal investigator cling to their EMF meter, desperate for validation that we’re not just howling at the moon alone. In today’s spine-tingling tales, our protagonists aren’t howling solo into the void. No, they’ve got company for their hair-raising escapades. Someone to give that reassuring nod and say, “Hey, you’re not the only one seeing things that go bump in the night.”

We’re well into the depths of winter now, and what better way to celebrate a time of such constant darkness than by listening to some of the spookiest stories on the internet? Pretty soon, everyone’s going to be talking about love, candy hearts, and fresh flowers…but until we get there, why not comfort yourself with the fact that maybe…just maybe…you’re not alone.

New year, new me, same haunts. Often we’ll get stories that sound like they’ve been told before, or we’ll hear of people looking for others who may have experienced something similar. It’s natural to not want to feel alone, to not feel crazy when the impossible or improbable happens; when the brain can’t fathom what it saw or heard. Here at IHWN, we promise to believe you, support you, and reassure you that you are not crazy; and that there are more like you out there.

A mannequin with human hair became a doll, and lifelong companion and/or scapegoat, for an eccentric Floridian artist. The rest is (haunted? possessed?) history, and it’s exactly as unsettling as you might guess. And then some.

We can’t tell you how thrilled we are to welcome Espooky Tales to the podcast! We have guested on their podcast a few times, and it has always been a good time! I love this show so much and listen every time a new episode drops. It fills my Espooky Heart up with Ghouls. I hope you enjoy this episode and Happy New Year!

Haunted Stores in Mexico E118

If you’ve been to Mexico or anywhere in Latin America, chances are you’ve been in a tienda Oxxo. These are the largest chain of convenience stores in all of Latin America and maybe even the most haunted. In today’s episode, Cristina and MJ talk about paranormal stories that take place in different Oxxo stores in Mexico, a haunted piñata store in Guadalajara, Mexico, and a haunted cafe. Oh, and of course, they had to mention Stockton, California’s own haunted Burlington Coat Factory. Cristina and MJ share these stories, have some laughs, and share their spooky recommendations, but first, Cristina reads a listener story.

The fight-or-flight adrenaline rush. In the face of unexpected, shocking, petrifying situations, the human body floods the system, and the brain decides which action would result in a greater chance of survival. So when something happens but you can’t see it or understand what you’re seeing, which does the brain choose?
