Terrifying & True | The Caretos de Entrudo – Portugal’s Carnival Demons

1/19/2026
Portugal folklore turns feral in the mountain village of Podence, where the only warning is the clatter of cowbellsricocheting off stone walls. Then the Caretos burst from the dark—men (and now women and kids, too) swallowed in ragged ribbons of red, yellow, and green, faces erased behind blood-red demon masks, hips loaded with heavy bell harnesses that turn every lunge into a metallic scream. It’s Carnival… but it moves like a hunt. This is Entrudo—a tradition believed to reach back to pre-Roman Celtic seasonal rites, an “entry” into the warm season after winter’s darkness. Long before Lent ever claimed the calendar, this was a community ritual of mischief, rule-breaking, and purification: scare off the bad spirits, shake loose the old year, and drag spring and fertility into the streets by force of noise. Inside this episode: The first warning:cowbells in a stone alleyAncient roots:EntrudoCeltic tiesThe disguise:horned masksbell harnessRitual permission:Fire and farewell:burning of effigiesNear-extinction and comeback:facanitosUNESCO recognition:world-famousCousins of the Caretos: If you ever find yourself in Podence after dark—listening to cowbells get closer—remember: the masks don’t perform.

1/17/2026
If you’re craving haunted house horror stories, ghost stories, and paranormal encounters that escalate fast—this compilation is your next late-night listen. From a historic inn with a locked room and a German priest’s shadow, to an abandoned murder house that turns viral for all the wrong reasons… these tales spiral through possession, poltergeist chaos, cursed objects, and the kind of dread that follows you home. Inside this compilation (in order): • Horror at the Hexagon House Inn — Bill Spears: A writer relocates to a booming Texas town for his wife’s health… only to discover Room 4 is not empty—and the past isn’t buried.

Onimus: A strange boy at the county fair leads two friends to a mansion that won’t let them leave—where time fractures, doors lie, and something in the dark learns their fear. • Thrifting Fail - We’re now Haunted! — Bruce Haney: A $1 yard-sale bowl comes with a freezing presence and an angry artist’s spirit—until the couple realizes the haunting has rules… and the only way out might be to pass it on. • Lucien Greyshire and the Ghost from Applebee’s — L.F. Falconer: A scarred party-producer who can see the dead recruits a teenage poltergeist—promising purpose, spectacle, and a darker “service” hiding beneath Halloween entertainment. • The House in the Woods — Bruce Haney: A lost hike, a carved jack-o’-lantern, and a bonfire reveal a house that shouldn’t exist—where spiders wear human skin and desperation tempts a man to return.

Best of 2025: Ship of the Cannibal - Ghost Ship Survival Horror Story

1/16/2026
Weekly Spooky horror podcast brings you a high-seas survival horror nightmare for our Best of 2025 series—equal parts ghost ship, creature feature, and “you’re trapped and nobody is coming.” Chance and Luka are stranded after a shipwreck—clinging to a container in open water while the ocean churns around them. But rescue doesn’t arrive… and when a drifting vessel appears out of the fog, it feels like a miracle. A derelict ocean liner. A ghost ship. A place to rest, warm up, and wait it out. Except the ship isn’t empty. The corridors are wrong. The cabins are shredded. The galley has been ransacked down to the metal. And the scraping in the walls isn’t the sea—it’s something living, swarming, and hungry. What starts as a lucky break turns into a full-blown claustrophobic horror story about bad choices, worse timing, and the terrifying moment you realize the lifeboat might not be yours anymore. If you love ghost ship horror, monster infestations, ocean survival stories, and relentless “can’t escape” tension, this one is a year-round must-listen—especially with headphones on in a dark room.

BANNED! Part 1: Horror Convention Slasher Mystery Gets Bloodier!

1/14/2026
Horror podcast listeners—the snow keeps falling, the roads keep vanishing, and the High Point Ski Lodge is turning into a sealed box where a killer can work in peace. In BANNED! Part 2, the winter slasher at the Horror Snow-In doesn’t just strike again… he performs. After James Turner is found with BANNED! carved into his chest, police push through the storm and start questioning attendees—while the convention stubbornly continues like nothing’s wrong. Headliner Vickie Valentine tries to keep up appearances in the dealer room and on panels, but something darker is waking up inside her: the Hellweaver’s blood, the return of her night-vision, the creeping pull of Veronda of the Night Realm. Then the killer makes his next move in front of an audience. During a panel, a staffer’s body is revealed in a horrifying display—hanged from above, with BANNED carved into him like a signature. Promoter David Melicant spirals, lashes out, and refuses to shut anything down, even as Vickie connects the dots: Robbie Redden is back, and this convention is his revenge. Outside in the blizzard, Vickie is ambushed by a masked Redden—beaten, dragged toward the ledge, and stabbed when she gets too close to unmasking him. Redden admits she’s not meant to die yet. She’s meant to be last. Back inside, the murders keep stacking. A blood-written note addressed to “Darci Heart” appears… and Vickie realizes another staff member has already been taken. In a packed movie room, a closet door bursts open—and the truth drops out in a brutal, unforgettable reveal: Kathleen Witherspoon’s corpse, her staff shirt cut open, the same word carved into her body. The storm won’t let anyone leave. The crowd won’t stop watching. And Redden isn’t done banning people from this convention—one body at a time.

Terrifying & True | Alfred Packer: The Colorado Cannibal’s 1874 Murder Trial

1/12/2026
A blizzard. A vanished trail. The San Juan Mountains in the winter of 1874. Six men leave safety behind—and only one walks back into town. This is the infamous Alfred (Alferd) Packer story: the “Colorado Cannibal” case that refuses to stay settled, because the evidence is brutal… and the survivor’s account keeps shifting. In this episode of Terrifying & True, we follow the doomed decision to cross the high country after Chief Ouray’s warning, the slow collapse into starvation, and the moment the frontier stops being romantic and becomes a cold, clinical math problem: move or die. Then comes the part that turned suspicion into fury—Packer returning alive, armed, spending money, and carrying other men’s belongings, offering explanations that mutate under pressure. And when the thaw gives up what the snow hid—five bodies, skulls split by a hatchet, butchered remains on a slope near Lake City—the story transforms from survival horror into a courtroom nightmare: confessions, escape, a retrial, a legal technicality, and a sentence that changes… even as the legend hardens. Inside this episode: The last “clean moment”:The six who left:Starvation’s escalation:Dead Man’s Gulch:The changing story:The discovery in the thaw:Trial, technicality, and legend: Because in the end, the wilderness doesn’t need ghosts to be haunted. Sometimes it only needs snow thick enough to erase tracks… and one man left alive to explain what happened.

Terrifying & True | 1993 Hamar-Daban Mystery: Siberia’s “Dyatlov Pass” Tragedy

1/5/2026
A true crime / survival mystery from the Siberian wilds: in August 1993, seven hikers entered the Hamar-Daban Mountains of Buryatia (near Lake Baikal)—and only one walked back out. What happened on that windswept ridge has been called the “Buryat Dyatlov Pass”: a sudden storm, a frantic descent, and then a cascade of bizarre symptoms—foaming at the mouth, blood, panic, and collapse—leaving six bodies scattered on an exposed ledge while a terrified teen survivor staggered to a river and found help. Officials ruled hypothermia and closed the case. But the details refused to stay buried: claims of missing eyes later attributed to scavengers, questions about food and exhaustion, and theories ranging from toxic exposure to military testing to the possibility of cold/altitude-related pulmonary edema. Inside this episode: The trek:Lyudmila KorovinaThe turn:August 4–52,300 metersThe collapse:The recovery:The official file:hypothermiaTheories vs. evidence:folklore This is a case where nature, fear, and unanswered questions collide—and the only person who knows the final minutes had to live with them forever.
