It's Haunted...What Now?

It’s bad enough to feel like you’re being watched or followed by a living, breathing person. Whether it’s walking past the same person too many times at the grocery store, someone getting off at the same bus stop as you, or turning just in time to see a stranger in a crowd look away from […]

The variety of paranormal experiences has always fascinated me. Most of them are scary – that’s what happens when something inexplicable occurs: we get frightened.

What draws you to the paranormal, the haunted? Maybe you’ve experienced something for yourself – something you’ve spent years trying to write off as a coincidence despite a little voice in your ear telling you to look deeper into it; go on; you know you want to. Maybe it’s something you want to experience but […]

Humans, eh? Always craving company like a ghost at a séance. We’re social creatures, whether we’re swapping ghost stories around a campfire or virtually through the eerie glow of our screens. We cling to connections like a paranormal investigator cling to their EMF meter, desperate for validation that we’re not just howling at the moon […]

Pretty soon, everyone’s going to be talking about love, candy hearts, and fresh flowers…but until we get there, why not comfort yourself with […]

New year, new me, same haunts. Often we’ll get stories that sound like they’ve been told before, or we’ll hear of people looking for others who may have experienced something similar. It’s natural to not want to feel alone, to not feel crazy when the impossible or improbable happens; when the brain can’t fathom what […]

A mannequin with human hair became a doll, and lifelong companion and/or scapegoat, for an eccentric Floridian artist. The rest is (haunted? possessed?) history, and it’s exactly as unsettling as you might guess. And then some. Hosted by Laurah Norton Researched by Bryan Worters and Maura Currie Written and Produced by Maura Currie Engineered by […]

The fight-or-flight adrenaline rush. In the face of unexpected, shocking, petrifying situations, the human body floods the system, and the brain decides which action would result in a greater chance of survival. So when something happens but you can’t see it or understand what you’re seeing, which does the brain choose? Thank you to the […]

Strange and sinister happenings are never really tied to one location, are they? Sure, all the horror movies take place in homes, churches or graveyards or hospitals, where bad things happened at some point or other. But in real life, something spooky can be waiting around just about any corner. The stories in this episode […]

In our first story, we’ll delve into the inexplicable events that have haunted a family for generations, leaving them with a sense of foreboding and an entity known only as “The Watcher.” Story 1 […]

The quaint small town is a staple in American storytelling where everyone knows each other, the schools have barely more than 100 students, and the kids grow up together throughout their childhoods. They’re quiet and peaceful, where adults rear families for generations. In contrast, they are also used in cinema as locations for fictional ax […]

The days might be longer now, but the nights are certainly darker. Summer nights hold a different kind of chill in the air, and I’m so glad that several of these stories are just the perfect sort to tell around a campfire. From strange encounters by the roadside to cabins in the woods to haunted […]
