Happy Spooky Wednesday, everyone! This week, Kala is sharing some of the mysteries of Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia. This is the world’s deepest, oldest, and largest (by volume) freshwater lake! What could possibly be hiding in its depths? It holds more flora and fauna than any other lake in the world, including the only existing freshwater seals, fish that turn into an oily substance, and… mermaids? Also, there may be a monster. It’s definitely not a sturgeon.
Happy Spooky Wednesday, folks! We’re heading overseas this week while Brittany tells us all about Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh, Scotland. This 16th-century graveyard is infamous for violent disturbances and physical attacks on visitors, particularly around its Mausoleums. And these attacks aren’t from the living… After literal centuries of horrendous occurrences (and we mean like straight out of a horror movie), this place has got GHOSTS. And these ghosts are pissed. And if you think you’re safe, just ask some of the most recent tourists… these spirits are still active to this day.
Happy Spooky Wednesday, folks! Can a whole town be cursed? Because apparently, that’s exactly what happened. This ghost town is now completely prohibited to the public. Could it be because those who enter will be doomed to die? Or is it the fact that so many people have passed on this land, that the area is plagued by ghosts? Or is it that hikers couldn’t control themselves and damaged the local ecosystem? Maybe it’s a combination of the three?
Happy Spooky Wednesday!
Happy Spooky Wednesday! Question: can you name one fun fact about Finland? No? Maybe it’s because Finland… doesn’t exist? At least that’s what some people have come to believe, thanks to a conspiracy theory that spread on the internet. So if Finland isn’t real, what’s going on up there in Northern Europe? I guess you’ll have to listen and find out!
Happy Spooky Wednesday!For two weeks, we have been asking... when will the Bloody Benders end their murderous ways? Why are they murdering people? Will they be caught? Who ARE the Benders? Are Kate and John really siblings? What was that about Little House on the Prairie??All that answered (sort of) on this week's episode, the third and FINAL act of The Bloody Benders.
1Happy Spooky Wednesdays!We are back for Part 2 of the Bloody Benders, and this week, we're getting to know a little bit about their victims as well as their MO. Does Kate continue to be the darling of the bunch? Do we know what the trap door is for? Wait, what about Little House on the Prairie??Answers to that and more!
Happy Spooky Wednesday, friends! Coming in hot in this new year, Brittany brings us the story of The Bloody Benders, America's first serial killing family. As the US expands to the West, an odd family takes up residence in a small corner of Southeastern Kansas. Shortly after, suspicious (and downright horror movie-inspiring!) things start to happen. Then... folks start going missing.However, there is much more to this story; this is only Part 1. So listen, enjoy, and then come back next week for Part 2!
Happy Spooky Wednesday, everyone! And welcome to the last episode of 2025! We’re ending the year with one of the most haunted forests in the world, the Hoia-Baciu Forest. These woods, located near Cluj-Napoca are known as the "Bermuda Triangle of Romania" due to their bizarrely twisted trees, unexplained disappearances, UFO sightings, and reports of physical ailments, anxiety, and ghostly encounters. Believers claim it is a hotspot for paranormal activity and strange phenomena. Skeptics say the trees grow weird, and people are too obsessed with them. Would you stay overnight here? Be careful, you might not return until years later… if you return at all.
Happy Spooky Wednesday, friends!
Happy Spooky Wednesday, friends!
Happy Spooky Wednesday! This week, we are joined by our friends The Prophecy Girls for a very special AITA: Paranormal Edition! Listen and let us know... are our posters manipulative monsters with a flair for the theatrical, or just regular ol' folks speaking their truths?
Happy Spooky-Funny Wednesday, folks! Why spooky-funny? Because this week we’re talking about two queens of comedy! Lucille Ball is beloved in the entertainment industry, and so is her mentor Carole Lombard. They paved the way for women in media, and their legacy has lived on for generations. And apparently, so have their spirits! So sit back, relax, and enjoy the thought that these two titans may still be gracing us with their presence years after they’ve passed.
Happy Spooky Wednesday, friends! Brittany is ready to tell us all about the haunted Los Coches Adobe in Soledad, California. What was once a home, hotel, post office and (maybe?) a brothel, is now a California Historical Landmark. Over the years it has developed a reputation for supernatural happenings. We may never know for sure what goes on here, but it’s gained quite the reputation as a paranormal hot spot. Listen to the tale and decide for yourself.
Happy Spooky Wednesday! This week, Kala heads all the way up to Alaska to discuss the haunting of Mary E. Hart. Mary claimed she had been haunted by a ghost in Nome over a decade before and admitted was too afraid to visit the northland ever again. Her fascinating story shows how even the most adventurous spirits can be overwhelmed by the power from the other side.
Happy Spooky Wednesday, Friends! This week Brittany is going local with the Forepaugh’s Restaurant in St. Paul, MN. While it is now known for fine dining, it was once the residence of a wealthy family. After having an affair with Mr. Forepaugh, the maid ended her life in the house. She now haunts the restaurant, messing with the lights and kitchenware. And Mr. Forepaugh has been seen hanging around as well. Sounds like this relationship drama has continued even in the afterlife.
Happy Spooky Wednesday, everyone! Does your local town have a haunted location that sounds strangely familiar? Like you’ve heard of it somewhere else? Is it possibly… a haunted bridge? Maybe a crybaby bridge? It turns out these haunted bridges are all over the U.S. While the origins may vary, the end results are usually the same. A bridge where locals go to chase the ghosts of children or their mothers who met a tragic fate. Ohio has one in every county! So listen to our tales and tell us: have you ever visited a Crybaby Bridge?
Happy Spooky Wednesday, everyone, and HAPPY HALLOWEEN! For our final episode of 2025 Urban Legends October, we are joined by Adam Herman! Kala tells us all about The Thumb Game. The object of the Thumb Game is to find the missing left thumb of a murdered young woman. If you find it, your wish will be granted. Magical and weird, right? We want to say that's the most bizarre part of this episode, but when Kala, Brittany, and Adam get chatting in a room, you know the conversation is only going to get stranger.
Happy Spooky Wednesday!It's the 4th week of Urban Legends October and we are here to bring you: Creepypastas!
Happy Spooky Wednesday, Friends! We continue our Urban Legends October with tales of Canada! First, we've got the Dungarvon Whooper, a murdered lumber camp cook whose spirit haunts the forest, making loud, chilling "whooping" noises. Speaking of things that make strange noises in the dark, we're also talking about the Screaming Tunnel where a woman's disembodied voice can be heard shrieking for help. And finally, we've got the Blue Ghost Tunnel, where you could possibly encounter ghosts of workers who passed when their train derailed. Oh, Canada, indeed.
