Cursed Games: Vol 7 | Paranormal Podcast
We're back with Cursed Games Volume 7! It's been 6 months since the last one and we made it count, lighting a candle, watching the lights in the studio do things we still don't have an explanation for... but anyway...
First up was the Fed Up Game, a parallel universe ritual where you sleep holding a precise 5x5 centimeter hexagram paper in red ink and wake up somewhere else, followed by th...

The Monster with the Sharp Teeth | Paranormal Podcast
This week, we've got two listener submissions, both connected by one very specific and very unsettling detail.
Starting with Colt's story from 2015, where he and his friend were gaming late at night while their German Shepherd suddenly bolted out of the room, and when Colt glanced at the bare window, he saw a white mass with what appeared to be an upside-down face peering in f...

Terrified Together with QueenOfVikings | Paranormal Podcast
This week, we teamed up with QueenOfVikings — a Canadian content creator who is both clairvoyant and clairaudient, raised in a Scandinavian, Celtic, and Gaelic family where everyone drew a different psychic gift like a starter Pokémon — and she brought serious insight to two listener stories.
First was Octavio's story, where a night that already involved live...

Creature Feature: Vol 7 | Paranormal Podcast
We're back with Creature Feature Volume 7 and three listener-submitted stories that cover the full range of cryptid weird — starting with Brian from the deep woods of Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, who at 16 had a roadside encounter with something that looked like a deer but absolutely was not.
Then we got into Rhys's story, which starts with a not-deer sighting on a dark high...

The Haunted Doll Peggy | Paranormal Podcast
This week, Charlie took us deep into the case of Peggy the Doll — allegedly the world's most haunted doll, a baby-sized blonde blue-eyed nightmare currently in the possession of British paranormal investigator Jane Harris, who runs an organization literally called Haunted Dolls and received Peggy from an elderly anonymous woman who simply said she was "too spooky" to keep.

Extraterrestrial Encounters: Vol 5 | Paranormal Podcast
We're back with Extraterrestrial Encounters Volume 5,! We start with Lilli, a day-one listener from a small farming town in Ontario, who went out one night, blacked out, and woke up in the middle of a cornfield with no memory of how she got there, a story she'd been quietly filing under "weird thing that happened" for years before finally letting herself consider what it migh...

The Haint | Paranormal Podcast
This week, we headed down to the Lowcountry to dig into one of the South's most fascinating and frustrating paranormal entities — the haint — which depending on who you ask is a ghost, a demon, an evil spirit tied to the earth, or honestly all of the above, rooted in the rich and deeply important traditions of the Gullah Geechee people and a blend of African, European, and Creole folklore...

The Haunted Lemp Mansion | Paranormal podcast
This week, we dive into one of America's most genuinely tragic haunted locations — the Lemp Mansion in St. Louis — starting with a German immigrant named Adam Lemp who built a beer empire from a grocery store and a network of natural limestone caves, and tracing the family's meteoric rise through his son William turning it into a national powerhouse with a 33-room Victorian...

The Spirits of Solace | Paranormal Podcast
This episode, we've got two listener submissions that are a little different from the usual... no demons clawing at you, no entities trying to drag you out of bed, just some genuinely peaceful and deeply personal encounters that somehow hit harder because of it.
First is Leona from California, who at 13 or 14 during one of the hardest periods of her life woke up frozen in sleep paralysi...

The Shtriga | Paranormal Podcast
This episode we dove into the Shtriga, the Albanian vampiric witch who doesn't lurk in a castle or avoid the sun, but instead lives right next door, blends in at the market, and waits until you're asleep to slip into your home as a moth, a fly, or a bee and quietly drain your life force while you're too exhausted to notice something's wrong.
We broke down the full lore, from how she's made to how...

We teamed up with Jesse, Mike, and Alex from the Chilluminati podcast for this Terrified Together, and the five of us tackled two listener submissions that had the whole group going back and forth on where the line is between what the mind creates and what's actually out there.

This week, we dove into the world of DMT and the Machine Elves, the strange interdimensional beings that thousands of people across the world, who have never met and had no reason to compare notes, keep describing in almost identical detail after taking one of the most powerful psychedelics known to exist.

This week, we've got 2 listener submissions that genuinely got under our skin — first from Logan in Indiana, who as a 3 or 4 year old kept waking up to a silent black humanoid figure slowly rocking in the chair across his room, and when we say silent, we mean the kind of deliberate, suffocating silence that swallowed even the sound of a child screaming for his parents.

Phantom Time Conspiracy | Paranormal Podcast
We went full conspiracy mode and tackled the Phantom Time Hypothesis, the genuinely wild theory that the Holy Roman Emperor Otto III conspired with Pope Sylvester II and the Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII to fabricate nearly 300 years of history, meaning we're not actually living in 2026, but somewhere closer to 1729.
We broke down the evidence people point to, from the gap between...

This month's Bizarre News covers four stories that somehow span the full spectrum of weird — starting with a ghost hunting vlogger in Malaysia who went live, disappeared mid-stream for 40 hours, and was eventually found in a public restroom in a weakened state with zero explanation for where he'd been.
