In this episode, I share true stories of encounters with creatures that can’t be explained away - phantom voices luring from the treeline, eyes glowing nine feet above the ground, and figures that move "wrong," like they don’t belong in this world.
This episode brings four tightly woven accounts of sleep paralysis and the entities that seem to learn us: a childhood room where a bed mimics the living, a TV that snaps to static as a pale crawler descends the wall, a small house that keeps its own midnight schedule, and a desert dream where beauty curdles into hunger. Featuring the Hat Man, and the age-old Old Hag legend.
What happens when the thing in the doorway doesn’t leave - even after the lights come on? This episode explores the worldwide phenomenon of the Hat Man through five true-life stories. From the terror of sleep paralysis to the unspoken fears that echo through childhood homes, hear powerful first-person accounts of encounters with a shadowy, hat-brimmed presence - sometimes accompanied by physical sensations, marks left behind, and a dread that lingers for years. First, a childhood nightmare threatens to step into the waking world. Next, a shared vision cements itself into a family’s history. You’ll meet those who have lost sleep, changed routines, and even moved houses in attempts to escape the hat and coat lurking at the threshold.
Three true-to-life encounters adapted into cinematic audio: an “owl” that laughs wrong, a thing jointed like a human drawn from memory, and eyes nine feet up over a backyard fence. Are we hearing Wendigo/Skinwalker lore - or something that learns our voices?
In the quiet plains of Colorado, nestled in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains, lies a ranch unlike any other. What should have been a peaceful retreat for the Priestley family became the setting for one of the most perplexing cases of paranormal activity ever recorded.

But the true terror arrived when unidentified disc-shaped craft descended onto the ranch, leaving behind more than just questions. Was Clearview Ranch a secret battleground between extraterrestrial factions? A government experiment cloaked in secrecy? Or was something even more sinister at play? Join me as we unravel the enigma of Clearview Ranch, where the natural and the supernatural collide in an eerie tale of high strangeness, cryptid encounters, and UFO phenomena.
