Okay friends, buckle the F up because this episode is WILD. We’re diving into your stories this week and let me tell you—our listeners do not disappoint.

We’ve got haunted roads that’ll make you never want to drive at night again, ghostly apparitions that showed up at the absolute worst possible times (because apparently ghosts have zero chill), and—I’m serious when I say this—a crematory story that legitimately left me sitting in stunned silence for like five minutes after I read it. My jaw was on the floor. You’re gonna lose your mind.

This is what I love about listener tales—these aren’t some recycled campfire stories or tourist trap legends. These are REAL experiences from REAL people who trusted me enough to share their most terrifying moments. And honestly? Some of this stuff is so bizarre and specific that you literally cannot make it up.

So grab your headphones, maybe turn on a light or two, and let’s get into it. Fair warning: you might wanna save that crematory story for daylight hours. I’m just saying.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

What if I told you Stranger Things wasn’t just inspired by the 80s - it was inspired by actual government experiments on unwitting citizens?

Project MKUltra was the CIA’s decades-long program testing mind control, psychic abilities, and psychological torture on people who never consented. We’re talking LSD dosing, sensory deprivation, electroshock therapy, and attempts to create actual telepaths.

This isn’t conspiracy theory bullshit - this is documented, declassified, admitted-to-by-the-government history.

Join me as we dive into the real Hawkins Lab, explore why the Duffer Brothers were obsessed with this story, and uncover just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Spoiler: it’s way darker than anything Netflix showed you. Are we ready? Let’s get into some truly creepy shit.

Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of non-consensual human experimentation, psychological torture, suicide, and government abuse. Listener discretion is advised.

On April 20, 1989, 37-year-old Patricia Meehan crashed her car on a remote Montana highway, climbed out unhurt, and walked into an empty field—never to be seen again. Or was she? Over 5,000 people reported seeing her in the months and years that followed, always at truck stops, always alone, always talking to herself. But she was never found.

This deep dive explores one of the most bizarre and potentially paranormal missing persons cases in American history. Patricia Meehan’s disappearance defies conventional explanation: her footprints vanished into thin air, massive searches found nothing, yet thousands of witnesses swore they saw her wandering the Pacific Northwest for years.

Discover the haunting details: the silent stare after the crash, the footprints that led nowhere, the verified sightings across multiple states, and the heartbreaking search by parents who died without answers. Was Patricia suffering from amnesia? Did she intentionally disappear? Or did she walk into something paranormal we can’t explain?

35 years later, this case remains unsolved and deeply disturbing.
