Ever seen something you couldn’t explain? This week’s episode dives into stories where the supernatural isn’t just a shadow in the corner. From eerie juju practices in Africa with life-changing consequences to a would-be healer accidentally zapping his girlfriend with electricity, these tales are as bizarre as they are chilling. There’s even a cursed car tied to Appalachian folk magic, and a Balinese ritual that solved a robbery through nail polish. Yeah, you read that right—nail polish.

These stories don’t just send shivers down your spine—they’ll leave you laughing, wondering, and maybe even reconsidering what’s possible. Packed with suspense, humor, and the kind of details that stick with you long after, this episode is one wild ride through the unexplained. So sit back, turn down the lights, and get ready for some seriously strange vibes.

We'll see you on the inside..

Full-body apparitions are as real as they are unsettling—and sometimes, just plain weird. In this week's episode, these stories cover everything from a grieving soldier stuck in the past to glowing women with sinister smiles, and even playful ghost kids saying "hey" like it's no big deal. Some are creepy, some are sad, and a few are downright bizarre.

You’ll hear about spirits lingering in hallways, shadowy figures showing up uninvited, and encounters that leave you questioning everything. These are the kind of ghost stories you’ll think about long after the lights go out.

We'll see you on the inside...

Welcome, friends, to an evening that promises chills and cheer in equal measure. Tonight, we dive into the eerie side of the holidays, with ghostly Alaskan tales of shadowy figures spotted in the snow, a Christmas miracle that might not be what it seems, and a small-town legend that keeps its residents indoors after dark.

All this, paired with WILDLY unconventional Christmas songs & interludes to set the mood. So, pour a cup of something warm, dim the lights, and prepare for a holiday experience unlike any other.

They say the night belongs to the living, but once you step through that iron gate, you’ll see that’s not always the case. You can feel it right away—the shift in the air, heavier, colder, as though each breath you take weighs more than the last. Shadows cling tighter here, casting themselves in shapes that flicker at the edge of vision, shapes that make your heart stammer and your hands itch to reach for the safety of daylight. It’s not just the creak of ancient trees or the rustle of leaves that have fallen like discarded memories; it’s the sensation that eyes you cannot see are watching you.

Those souls may have found rest, but who’s to say what lies beneath that stillness? Some say the dead grow lonely, waiting endlessly in the dark, their whispers weaving into the breeze, ready to brush against anyone who dares to wander too close. Join us as we dive into true paranormal experiences from the graveyard..

We'll see you on the inside..

a phone ringing in the dead of night, a familiar number flashing across the screen, one that shouldn’t, couldn’t be calling anymore. You hesitate, fingers hovering over the screen, your breath hitching as you answer. The line crackles, empty at first, but then a voice, faded like a whisper carried on a cold wind, calls your name

It starts subtly, like a whisper heard in passing, an echo out of place. A voice where none should be. A noise from behind a closed door, a faint shiver in the walls that crawls under your skin and makes your heart skip a beat. You think it’s nothing, just the house settling, the wind, a stray radio signal—anything that makes sense. But then the inexplicable persists, nudges at the edge of your mind until you’re left wondering if you’re truly alone.

In the dim stillness, a kind of terror begins to blossom—a terror made of half-heard sounds, the quiet whimper of a dog, the inexplicable thump from an empty room. And as the hours creep forward, each sound grows louder, each shadow darker, until the feeling settles in, heavy and chilling: there’s something else here, unseen but watching, waiting. And maybe, just maybe, it isn’t friendly.

Sometimes, it’s the silence that hits the hardest. The soft, unassuming quiet that settles like a shroud after night has drawn its velvet curtains. Parents leave, doors lock, and the lone babysitter is left with nothing but the hum of a refrigerator, the echo of a distant clock, and the steady, sleeping breaths of children in darkened rooms. There’s a sense of peace, yes—a warm glow that says, “All is well.” But beneath that calm, the shadows grow a little deeper, and the darkness holds its breath.

The fear of witches has been a part of America from the beginning. Yet it is not just a New World occurrence. We begin with the infamous Salem Witch Trials before heading across the pond to discuss The Witches of St. Osyth.

History has taught us that it is common for a group of regular people in any country or colony to turn their fears and anxieties on their neighbors with deadly consequences, yet here we are hundreds of years later, and many still wonder if there were any actual witches among the many who were prosecuted throughout history.

While there is also a profound belief that the devil was behind the dark outcome in these cases, we will leave it to you to decide where you stand when it comes to the guilt of the accused.

Funeral homes and morgues are more than just places for the dead to rest—they're often where the spirits linger. From a grandmother demanding red lipstick from beyond the grave to a child’s heartbreaking call for her father, these real stories from embalmers and morticians will leave you unsettled, and quite possibly in need of a tissue?

When the walls themselves seem alive, is it ever truly safe to sleep? We'll see you on the inside for an episode filled with Haunted AirBNB Horror stories!

Ponder, if you will, a creature of myth and Legend born from The Whispers of ancient winds. It is known as the Thunderbird, a colossal bird-like Phantom that soars high above the land, its wings stretching wide like the sky itself.

In the realm of Native American folklore this creature is not just a bird, but a Harbinger of dark storms over time. Tales of this legendary beast have drifted into the modern world leaving behind a trail of curious sightings and strange encounters.

Like Echoes In a Canyon these reports are often dismissed. Hoaxes, they say, or the tricks of nature, but in the shadows of our minds, in the places where reason gives way to wonder the legend of the Thunderbird endures. As you gaze into the stormy Horizon ask yourself this.. Is the Thunderbird a mere figment of folklore, or a glimpse into the unknown?

As you listen to this collection of true Ouija board horror stories, remember: curiosity can be a dangerous thing, and the spirits you reach out to might just reach back. So, settle in, turn down the lights, and prepare yourself for Volume 4 of Tales From the Ouija.

Remember friends, when messing with a Ouija Board, you’re not just asking questions—you’re opening a door. And the thing about doors is, you never really know what’s on the other side.

Welcome, friends, to another chilling journey into the unknown. Tonight, we dive into the world of the Ouija board—a simple piece of wood, or so it seems, that holds the power to unlock doors better left closed. Many have toyed with it, seeking answers from beyond, only to find themselves tangled in something far darker and more dangerous than they ever imagined. It’s not just a game. It’s a gateway—a portal to forces that can deceive, torment, and haunt long after the board is put away.

This week we're diving into one of the most popular, and mysterious cases of all time when it comes to paranormal phenomena, and the unexplained: The Mothman. Most known for a series of sightings in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, but sightings of this creature have been reported much further back, and countless times since the collapse of the Silver Bridge. Christian takes us on a tour of some of the legends and lore surrounding this elusive entity, and follows it up with some truly unique first hand accounts and sightings of the Mothman.

As we get closer to Halloween, we're going back to some of our favorite topics to touch on. This week we're diving head first into some truly haunting horror stories featuring creepy ghost babies, disembodied footsteps, creepy cleaning ladies, a yogurt demon & possibly one of the freakiest stories we've touched on in a long while…

Folks, welcome back to The Freaky Deaky. Christian never sends me descriptions for the episodes he puts together, and I've got the memory of a walnut, so I can't give you too many specifics about what we get into in today's episode. What I can share, is that Christian begins this episode discussing a very peculiar Sasquatch story from the early days, wherein a legendary group of Choctaw warriors, collide in battle against a race of Cannibal Bigfoot. From there, we dive into a couple other sasquatch stories Christian came across while looking into this episode.

Also, some light housekeeping, Sleep With The Lights On is now available on Spotify (Search - TFD: Sleep With The Lights On)!

Welcome to Sleep Paralysis Horror Stories: Volume 4. Tonight, we delve into the darkest corners of your mind, where sleep paralysis demons lurk and terrifying entities bring horrors the likes of which you could never believe. Imagine waking up paralyzed, your body gripped by an unseen force. You hear distorted whispers, manic clown laughter, and see a looming figure with a triangular head.

Picture two red eyes at your bedroom door, an encounter so frightening it forces your astral body to separate from the physical. Feel the terror of unseen entities breathing raggedly, lurking just out of sight, sucking the lifeforce from your chest, or a 7-foot tall shadow figure pacing your room while you're on the cusp of sleep.

And finally, we encounter the infamous Old Hag, her wrinkled face inches from yours, pressing down on your chest and filling you with dread. These are just a few of the terrifying tales of sleep paralysis we get into in Volume4 of Sleep Paralysis Horror Stories!

Cursed Paintings, Haunted Bunk Beds, A Cursed Necklace, Christmas Tree, and even a Tank Top... These are some of the absolutely wild stories we've got in store for today's episode filled to the brim with haunted items and cursed object stories!

Have you ever purchased, or even worse, been gifted an item that you later believed to be haunted? Well, if not, the stories in this week's episode may convince you to make a quick 180 next time you're about to cross the threshold of your neighborhood antique shop. Some of these stories are so bizarre, that we wondered if they were possibly some form of OCD.

I mean I get the Anguished Man painting being cursed, and I guess I can understand a quilt being cursed, but surely a tank top couldn't be haunted...right? Surely a zen garden couldn't harbor any negative vibes? A plastic Christmas tree?!
