    Every House Was Haunted: A San Antonio Family Mystery
    May 21 2026
    In this true scary story, James, a listener from San Antonio shares a terrifying multi-generational haunting that began in the early 1950s after his grandmother encountered a mysterious man wearing a top hat. Everywhere they lived, from newly built homes to eerie trailers filled with porcelain dolls, strange paranormal activity seemed to follow the entire family for decades. Was something invited in… or was the family marked from the very beginning?

  • The Hauntings Kept Finding Them Again (Two Eerie Stories)

    The Hauntings Kept Finding Them Again (Two Eerie Stories)
    May 14 2026
    Tonight’s episode features two unsettling true paranormal stories from people who spent years hoping the activity in their lives would finally stop. Kaylee begins describing terrifying encounters beginning in early childhood: ghostly figures standing at the foot of her bed, crosses mysteriously disappearing, growling outside her room, violent sleep paralysis, and a towering shadow entity that seemed to follow her for years. Even after tattooing a cross onto her body appeared to stop the activity, a psychic medium later warned her that whatever was attached to her was only waiting to come back. Did it return?
    The second story takes us deep into the haunted canyons of Wasatch Mountains, where abandoned silver mines, forgotten pioneer graves, and moonlit hiking trails became the perfect location for unexplained encounters. Things like voices echoing through empty mining camps and shadow figures appearing in multiple homes at the exact same time are only the beginning.
    Looks like we got a little bit of everything in these true scary stories: shadow people, haunted locations, paranormal encounters, ghost sightings, sleep paralysis, dark entities, and unexplained wilderness horror. Tap "play" if you feel ready. Here we go.

  • Why I Don't Play With Spirits (Two Stories)

    Why I Don't Play With Spirits (Two Stories)
    May 7 2026
    It was replying to them with undeniable accuracy. There was a ghost with them in the room… or maybe something worse.
    In these true scary stories, we’ll hear from Vanessa who retells her experience in joining a group of friends to use the ouija board. When that didn’t work, they turned to a ghost box (a spirit communication device), and they were able to contact the other side. Unfortunately for them, the session turned hostile.
    In the second story, Kristy tells us about a childhood encounter in a remote house where someone, or something, was moving objects in the dark. It was until much later when Kristy and her cousins learned of the tragic reasons behind the occurrences.
