    Don't Let Them In: Halloween's Strangest Visitors (BGH 10)

    On Halloween, every knock at the door is supposed to be a kid in a costume. This week on The Butterscotch Gang, we're sharing allegedly true accounts from people who opened the door (or the car window, or their bedroom door, or their mind's eye, or whatever I guess honestly) to visitors who weren't what they looked like. Heads kept down, the same polite request over and over, and a fear none of these witnesses could explain until it was almost too late. A gas station at 3 AM, a Queens basement nobody should have walked into, a doorbell that rang on Halloween Eve, and a string of late-night knocks some of these people still can't explain. Let's get weird, gang.

    290 | Hotel Night Auditors On What Happens After 2AM

    At 2 in the morning, the loneliest job in America is that of the hotel night auditor, sitting at a hotel front desk, watching a hallway on camera that's supposed to have nobody in it. Every hotel you've ever slept in has one. Night auditors take that shift for a paycheck and a quiet night, but a lot of them come out of it with a story they can't explain and a room they won't walk past anymore. What you’re about to hear are stories from the people who work that shift, describing what they saw in the quiet hours when the rest of the world was fast asleep. Let's get it.

    After Dark | It's a Dog Man, Man!

    Four people, four patches of back country, and four things that stood up on two legs that they'd probably prefer they never came face to face with. A man alone at his satellite dish in the Montana dark encounters something he's certain is no bear, no wolf. Two loggers who spent a night in the treetops due to what was (possibly) not a mange-bear. A stranded driver alone in a ditch in the Pennsylvania rain, and a combat veteran fifty miles up a mountain who could feel it watching and never once caught it in his sights. Each of them got a good, close look at something with a dog's head and a man's height, and not one of them has a name for it. Luckily for them, we do. It's DOGMAN, of course, just ask Christian! Let's get it. TIME STAMPS: 0:00 - Christian's Episodes As Livestreams.

    289 | Four Hauntings So Bad The Family Just Left..

    Everybody's got a spooky-house story. A cold room, a creak on the stairs, a fleeting shadow you caught out of the corner of your eye. This is most certainly not that. Tonight, we're dipping our toes into a very particular pool of spooky as we get into tales of four families who experienced hauntings so intense that they packed nothing, and fled, leaving behind furniture, toys and food in the fridge. Four homes, from the 1970s to the 2000s, on two continents, that stopped being "home sweet home" and quickly became "haunting sour haunting" (sorry, workshopping that phrase, but you get the idea. From a Wisconsin bunk-bed nightmare to a Missouri rental with the locks on the wrong side of the doors, and a modern haunting that escalated to text messages and voicemails. As we enter peak spooky season, it felt like the perfect opportunity for us to unpack some truly terrifying haunted homes, and the supernatural squatters that were waiting just beyond the threshold.. We'll see you on the inside..

    288 | There's More To Lucid Dreaming Than You're Being Told

    You figure out you're dreaming, and instead of waking up, you decide to see just how far down this dream goes. You walk to the middle of the room and you drop straight through the floor on purpose, because a hundred people online swore that's how you get somewhere better. Problem is, you didn't get anywhere better, and now you're nowhere, in a place with no floor, no walls, no light, no body, just you and the black and the slow, sinking understanding that you don't know the way back, and nothing out here is going to wake you up. That is lucid dreaming. A dream-walking technique that allows people to freely control and navigate their own dreams. A feeling people chase on purpose, and a skill everybody wants, not realizing that like all things in life, it has an undeniable dark side that is often overlooked. Tonight we're peaking behind the curtain, only slightly, to look into some true stories from folks that got good at doing just that, and would later go on to wish they hadn't. Fire up those nature sounds, baby, we're going under.

    BIGFOOT Encounters You Can't Unhear (That's Not How Hearing Works) | BGH 009

    Welcome back to The Butterscotch Gang Hang. We've got four firsthand Bigfoot encounters, told in the witnesses' own words. A night camper in the Cascades meets a pair of yellow eyes at a gated road and can't convince his (seemingly blind) friend that it's real. Two squirrel hunters in rural North Carolina watch something huge climb up from the river in broad daylight. Two boys in a Utah canyon are followed home in the dark by something that hides in their outhouse and find what it left behind (spoiler alert: it's not dookie!). And at a church camp in Oklahoma, a girl wakes in the night to something furry tracing her face. A big no thank you on that. Let's get into it.

    287 | The Hat Man Has Been Here For A Thousand Years

    Almost everyone who sees him describes the exact same thing. A tall shadow in a wide brimmed hat, sometimes a top hat, sometimes a bowler (he's a man of many hats I guess you could say), standing in the doorway at two in the morning, watching, while you lie there unable to move. This episode is the Hat Man in the witnesses' own accounts. A woman woken by her own mother's voice, sisters who both saw him from their bunk beds, a little girl who watched him stand over her dying grandmother. This time we took it a step further than first hand accounts. We track him backward through every culture that's already met him, because it keeps looking like one visitor under a laundry list of names. Odin wandered the old Norse world as a tall man in a broad hat who appeared in doorways right before someone died. Papa Legba stands at the Haitian crossroads, and that same crossroads figure became the tall stranger in black you meet at midnight in the American South. Baron Samedi waits at the grave in his top hat. El Sombrerón haunts a girl's window in Guatemala. The Alp stands over your bed in Germany. Same hat, same threshold, from cultures that never touched. If you've ever woken up and felt someone in the room, this one's for you. Real firsthand Hat Man encounters, the cross cultural entity behind him, and the sleep paralysis science, all in one. Be sure to share your personal experiences with the hat man in the comments below for a chance to make it into our Hat Man Listener Stories episode which is coming down the road once we collect enough stories from all of you! Buckle up, this ones a doozy. We'll see you on the other side.

    After Dark | 4 True Skinwalker Stories To Keep Christian Up at Night

    It's that time again, welcome to Tall Tale After Dark. Four people, and four nights that rewrote what they thought was possible. We're going back to a favorite topic of ours, as we dip our toe into the world of skinwalkers, once again. A cabin in the Colorado pines. A lone camp deep in Louisiana. A boy's twelfth birthday under a Utah sky, and a family hogan ten miles from the nearest door. Apparently, you're not supposed to say the word skinwalker, otherwise you might inadvertently draw one to you. Christian did not get this memo, so if we don't see him after this episode airs, we'll just all collectively assume the worst. Let's get it.
