What if the ghost story everyone knows… is the least dangerous part?
In this episode of Veil of Echoes, we step inside the Sallie House in Atchison, Kansas — a small, unassuming home with a reputation for extreme and violent paranormal activity.
Often described as the haunting of a little girl named “Sallie,” the legend tells of a child who died during surgery at the hands of a desperate doctor. But as the story unfolds...
In the late 1980s, a small group of young musicians in Norway set out to make music that rejected comfort, safety, and convention.
What they created instead was something far more dangerous.
In Part One of this two-part series, we trace the origins of the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem — from its early lineup and underground ambitions to the arrival of vocalist Per Yngve Ohlin, known as Dead.
We explore how performanc...
Missing Veil Files returns with Case File Two.
On the night of May 14, 2008, nineteen-year-old college student Brandon Swanson called his parents to say his car was stuck in a ditch in rural Minnesota. He told them he could see lights. He believed he was close to help.
For forty-seven minutes, Brandon stayed on the phone as his parents tried to find him.
Then the line went silent.
Brandon Swanson has never been seen again...
The Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana is often called one of the most haunted homes in America — but the truth behind its reputation is far more complex, and far more unsettling.
In this episode of Veil of Echoes, we explore the layered history of the Myrtles, from the land it was built upon to the people who lived, labored, and died there. We examine the legends surrounding Chloe, the enslaved woman wh...
In the final chapter of our four-part series on the West Memphis Three, we step beyond the verdict—and into what came after.
Years after three teenagers were convicted, new DNA testing raised serious questions about the case. Public pressure mounted. The world began watching. And the state of Arkansas was faced with a decision: reopen the trial, or protect the verdict.
Instead of exoneration, the men were offered an Alf...
At the top of a hill in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, stands a hotel that has never truly gone quiet.
The Crescent Hotel began as a luxury resort—built on belief in healing, fresh air, and escape. But in the 1930s, that belief was exploited when the building was transformed into a so-called cancer hospital run by a man with no medical training and a dangerous gift for persuasion.
In this episode, we trace the Crescent’s his...
In Part Three of our West Memphis Three series, we step inside the courtroom.
This is where evidence stopped speaking—and fear took over.
We examine the trial itself: the contested forensic testimony, the autopsy findings, and how wounds described as defensive were interpreted for the jury. We break down the prosecution’s reliance on belief over proof, the misuse of expert testimony, the jailhouse informant who claimed ...
When the credits rolled on the Stranger Things finale, we weren’t ready to move on.
In this raw, spoiler-heavy episode, we sit down and process the entire series — from the disappearance that started it all in Season One to the emotional weight of the finale.

Before we look outward, we begin close to home.
In this first episode of Missing Veil Files, we examine the disappearance of Diana Braungardt, an 18-year-old high school senior who vanished after finishing her shift at a department store in Crystal City, Missouri, on March 11, 1987.
Diana was dependable, routine-driven, and deeply loved. She told coworkers she was heading home to study — but she never arrived. More than...
What if something could learn your voice…
your habits…
your fear?
In this episode of Veil of Echoes, we explore the chilling legend of Skinwalkers — shape-shifting entities rooted in Indigenous folklore of the American Southwest and feared for their ability to mimic animals, people, and voices we trust.
Passed down through generations as warnings rather than stories, Skinwalkers are said to watch from the dark...
In Part Two of our West Memphis Three series, the investigation begins to narrow — not because evidence points in one direction, but because pressure demands an answer.
As fear spreads through the town, police shift focus away from overlooked leads and toward three teenage boys who didn’t fit in. We examine early persons of interest, the ignored Bojangles lead, and how a deeply flawed interrogation produced a confessio...
In June of 1947, ships traveling through the Strait of Malacca received a disturbing distress call from a Dutch cargo vessel known as the Ourang Medan.
The message was brief.
Fragmented.
Final.
When a nearby crew boarded the ship, they discovered something horrifying — every single crew member was dead, scattered throughout the vessel. Their eyes were open. Their mouths frozen wide. No wounds. No signs of a st...
On May 5, 1993, three eight-year-old boys went missing in West Memphis, Arkansas.
The next day, their bodies were discovered in a wooded area known as Robin Hood Hills.

In this episode, we focus on the beginning — the boys themselves, their last known hours, the search that unfolded through the night, and the discovery that would shape everything ...
The Appalachian Mountains stretch across thousands of miles and more than a dozen states — ancient, vast, and deeply familiar to those who call them home.
But for generations, people have vanished here.
In this episode of Veil of Echoes, we explore the unsettling patterns behind disappearances in Appalachia, the unspoken rules locals grow up learning, and the stories passed down as warnings rather than entertainment. Fr...
Before Hawkins… there were real fears.
In this New Year’s Eve mini-episode, we explore the historical anxieties and real-world influences that echo beneath Stranger Things — from Cold War–era government experiments to a culture shaped by secrecy, disappearance, and unanswered questions.
This episode is not a recap and contains no spoilers.
Instead, we reflect on:
- Documented psychological experiments and ethical ...
In Part Two of our deep dive into the murder of JonBenét Ramsey, we examine what happened after the discovery—when the investigation began to fracture.
We break down the competing theories, the suspects examined inside and outside the family, and the profound investigative missteps that altered the course of the case. From divided investigators and public accusations to autopsy findings, disputed interpretations, and t...
High in the Colorado mountains stands a grand hotel with a dark reputation.
In this episode, we explore The Stanley Hotel—a place synonymous with ghostly encounters, unexplained footsteps, and rooms that may still be occupied by their former guests.
From early paranormal reports to infamous hot spots like Room 217, we examine the spirits said to linger within its halls, the chilling experiences reported by staff and vis...
This Christmas, we step away from the real-world horrors we usually explore and gather by the fire for a different kind of ghost story.
In this special bonus episode, Veil of Echoes presents a shortened, atmospheric retelling of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol — a timeless tale of regret, redemption, and the spirits who guide one man toward change.
Told slowly and intentionally, with candlelight, fire, and shadow, th...
On Christmas night in 1996, six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey went to sleep in her family’s Boulder, Colorado home.
By the next morning, she was gone — and one of the most haunting and controversial cases in modern American history had begun.

The Alaska Triangle is a remote region where planes vanish without distress calls, people disappear without a trace, and generations of Indigenous warnings speak of places that should not be entered.
