    When it's homecoming night at Matteson's high school, he decides to throw the afterparty for his tight-knit group of friends in his backyard.

When his friend Bobby pulls in with another silhouette trailing behind him, he innocently assumed it was his younger brother tagging along, only for the mysterious identity to be revealed when the silhouette steps into the light.

  • Episode 172: Sector X
    Jun 22 2026

    Whenever Eric and his high school friends had free time, they enjoyed exploring abandoned places, especially Arnold Heights, a deserted former military housing community. During one visit, they met another group of explorers who warned them to stay away from an area known as "Sector X," which was rumored to be haunted by the spirit of a grieving father who went on a murderous rampage after his son drowned. Rather than scaring them off, the story only sparked their curiosity. Determined to see if the legend was true, they set out in search of Sector X.

  • Episode 171: The Widower
    Jun 15 2026

    When Ashley was only 11 years old, she moved back to her parent's home country of Mexico. While the transition was difficult at first, she came to love her new life. Most of all, this move allowed her to develop a meaningful relationship with her grandfather whose life was full of grand stories. It wasn't until she was older though, that her grandfather confessed a traumatic moment in his life that surprisingly revealed just how much the paranormal is woven into her family history.

Unlike many podcasts that covers these topics the style and theme are not rediculous or camp. Hearing people's experiences in this format works very well and the editing is top notch and the tales flow nicely. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys weird tales but doesn't want "spooky/scary" and frankly silly sound effects and music, but wants to listen to others experiences. The host is very grounded and has a humble, refreshing presenting style.
I would like more deep dives from time to time but I'm guessing that is what the patreon is for.

A very good podcast about unusual experiences, paranormal or otherwise.
