    114. McCormick Murder Farm: Shadow Figures & Unanswered Questions

    The McCormick Family Farm story started with buried bodies, shifting accusations, and an investigation that left far too many questions unanswered. In the final part of our deep dive, we follow Michael McCormick’s story to its disturbing conclusion, revisit the effort to search the Colorado property for possible additional victims, and finally get to the reason this farm landed on our list in the first place: the ghosts. From shadow figures and unexplained voices to an apparition reportedly resembling Tom McCormick and an investigation by Portals to Hell, this is where true crime and the paranormal collide in one deeply unsettling place. ⚠️ Content Warning: Murder, kidnapping, suicide, suicidal ideation, and discussion of human remains. 👀 Sneak Peek 🔎 A retired detective reopens the McCormick investigation decades later 🌾 The possibility that additional victims were never found 👤 Shadow figures, unexplained voices, touches, and an apparition resembling Tom McCormick ❓ Question for the Comments: After hearing the history and the paranormal claims, do you think something is still haunting the McCormick Farm? 🔗 Links 🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NotMyGhostPodcast 🎧 Listen now: https://pod.link/1754259268 📩 Paranormal Postcards submissions: notmyghostpodcast@gmail.com 🔗 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/notmyghostnotmyproblem 🛍️ Shop: https://notmyghostpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/ 📸 Instagram & TikTok: @notmyghostpodcast 📖 Chapters 00:00 The Unanswered Questions at McCormick Farm 02:01 The Order of Jimothy 06:38 Colorado Facts & a Headless Chicken 19:48 Michael McCormick’s Final Days 21:11 Reopening the McCormick Farm Investigation 30:00 Michelle Thompson-Larimer & the Granby Standoff 35:13 Could More Victims Still Be Buried There? 45:01 The Paranormal Claims Begin 01:13:01 Portals to Hell Investigates McCormick Farm 📚 Sources & Further Reading 20 Years Later a Murder Probe Resumes — ABC News https://abcnews.com/TheLaw/story?id=5348483 Three Sets of Remains Found on Colorado Ranch — Los Angeles Times https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-02-09-mn-5962-story.html Diggers Search for More Bodies on Colorado Ranch — UPI https://www.upi.com/Archives/1986/02/07/Diggers-search-for-more-bodies-on-Colorado-ranch/2040508136400/ Digging Up a Murderous Family Plot — Westword https://www.westword.com/news/digging-up-a-murderous-family-plot-5891107/

    113. McCormick Murder Farm: The Fugitive’s Story Unravels

    Michael McCormick offered investigators a deal: information about Herbert Donaho and the other bodies buried on his family’s Colorado farm in exchange for leniency. But as the graves were uncovered, Michael’s accusations against his father began colliding with his own involvement—and eventually with an entirely different confession. In Part 2 of our now three-part McCormick Murder Farm deep dive, we follow the bodies, the broken plea agreement, the overturned conviction, and the questions nobody could conclusively answer. ⚠️ Content Warning: Graphic discussion of murder, torture, mutilation, and human remains. 👀 Sneak Peek 🤝 Michael offers investigators information in exchange for leniency 🪦 More bodies are uncovered on the McCormick property 🕵️ His accusations against his father begin to unravel ⚖️ A murder conviction is overturned nearly two decades later ❓ Question for the Comments: Who do you think was telling the truth about what happened on the McCormick farm—Michael, Tom, neither, or some horrifying combination of both? 🔗 Links 🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NotMyGhostPodcast 🎧 Listen now: https://pod.link/1754259268 📩 Paranormal Postcards submissions: notmyghostpodcast@gmail.com 🔗 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/notmyghostnotmyproblem 🛍️ Shop: https://notmyghostpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/ 📸 Instagram & TikTok: @notmyghostpodcast 📘 Facebook: Not My Ghost, Not My Problem 📖 Chapters 00:00 Welcome Back and Part 1 Recap 02:20 Michael’s Confession on the Flight 04:17 Michael Names His Father 09:22 More Graves Discovered on the Farm 20:10 Robert Szwarc and the Darkest Allegations 36:41 Michael’s Story Changes Again 43:34 Trial, Sentencing, and an Overturned Conviction 50:18 Unanswered Questions and Part 3 Teaser 📚 Sources & Further Reading McCormick Farm Murders — Killer Queens Podcast https://www.killerqueenspodcast.com/mccormick-farm-murders/ The McCormick Murder Farm — Colored Red Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-mccormick-murder-farm/id1301799830?i=1000458762630

    112. McCormick Murder Farm: A Fugitive’s Deal With Police

    What happens when a property known for paranormal activity is also tied to one of Colorado’s most disturbing criminal investigations? In Part 1 of our now three-part deep dive into the McCormick Family Farm, we follow Michael Rexford McCormick from a stolen-truck investigation and two spectacular bail jumps to the deal that sent authorities searching for buried victims. Along the way, we examine the farm’s history, allegations involving its vulnerable workers, Herbert “Bert” Donoho’s disappearance, and a six-hour hotel standoff—plus enough chaotic banter to briefly make talking geese seem like the least threatening part of this story. ⚠️ Content Warning: Murder, suicide, suicidal ideation, substance use, and the exploitation of unhoused and vulnerable people. 👀 Sneak Peek 🚛 The stolen truck that connected Michael McCormick to a missing man 💰 Two million-dollar bonds—and two disappearing acts 🌾 Disturbing allegations about how the farm recruited and controlled workers 🚨 A stolen credit card, a Best Western, and a six-hour police standoff ❓ Question for the Comments: At this point in the story, do you believe Michael was telling investigators the truth? 🔗 Links 🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NotMyGhostPodcast 🎧 Listen now: https://pod.link/1754259268 📩 Paranormal Postcards submissions: notmyghostpodcast@gmail.com 🔗 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/notmyghostnotmyproblem 🛍️ Shop: https://notmyghostpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/ 📸 Instagram & TikTok: @notmyghostpodcast 📘 Facebook: Not My Ghost, Not My Problem 📖 Chapters 00:00 The McCormick Family Farm 01:21 Moving Chaos and Talking Animals 16:47 Colorado Quick Facts 20:27 Content Warning and Unexplained Knocking 28:53 Michael McCormick’s Arrest and Deal 34:01 Four Graves and the McCormick Family 43:00 The Alleged Farmworker Scheme 53:56 Herbert “Bert” Donoho Disappears 63:14 Two Bail Jumps and an Omaha Standoff 74:24 Why This Is Now a Three-Parter 📚 Sources & Further Reading Michael: From the Case Files of S.P.O.O.K.S — Tracy Beach https://outskirtspress.com/michael The McCormick Murder Farm — Colored Red https://coloredred.buzzsprout.com/131790/episodes McCormick Farm Murders — Killer Queens https://www.killerqueenspodcast.com/mccormick-farm-murders/

    111. Oklahoma Octopus & the Squonk: Cryptids You’ve Never Heard Of

    Something may be lurking beneath the lakes of Oklahoma—and something else is wandering Pennsylvania’s hemlock forests, crying uncontrollably about its face. This week, we’re investigating two wonderfully bizarre lesser-known cryptids: the allegedly enormous Oklahoma Octopus and the tragically damp Squonk. We dig into where these stories came from, what evidence actually exists, and why a cryptid does not have to be biologically real to become culturally immortal. ⚠️ Content Warning: Brief discussion of drowning deaths and water-safety statistics. 👀 Sneak Peek 🐙 The suspiciously modern origins of the Oklahoma Octopus 😭 The Squonk’s tear-soaked place in Pennsylvania lumberjack folklore 🔍 Why cryptid stories survive even without scientific evidence ❓ Question for the Comments: Would proof of one cryptid make every other cryptid more believable? 🔗 Links 🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NotMyGhostPodcast 🎧 Listen now: https://pod.link/1754259268 📩 Paranormal Postcards submissions: notmyghostpodcast@gmail.com 🔗 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/notmyghostnotmyproblem 🛍️ Shop: https://notmyghostpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/ 📸 Instagram & TikTok: @notmyghostpodcast 📘 Facebook: Not My Ghost, Not My Problem 📖 Chapters 00:00 Cold Open 00:06 Welcome to Lesser-Known Cryptids 04:43 Would One Proven Cryptid Change Everything? 11:49 Giant Squid: When Sea Monsters Turn Out Real 16:20 What Counts as a Cryptid? 30:20 The Oklahoma Octopus 44:53 Wine Break & Meet the Squonk 01:01:14 Is the Squonk Real? 01:04:06 Closing Thoughts 📚 Sources & Further Reading Is There an Oklahoma Octopus? — KGOU https://www.kgou.org/show/how-curious/2023-09-26/is-there-an-oklahoma-octopus Tulsa District Water Safety—Statistics — U.S. Army Corps of Engineers https://www.swt.usace.army.mil/Missions/Water-Safety/Statistics/ Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods — William T.

    110. She Touched a Smoke Demon: Paranormal Postcards Vol. 15

    This week’s Paranormal Postcards gives us three very different reasons to trust your gut: a real-world threat near Seattle’s Green Lake, a Japanese smoke entity that becomes far too attached, and a haunted college staircase where challenging the resident presence goes exactly as badly as you would expect. Joel joins us as these stories somehow lead to Taser Ghost, paranormal boundary violations, and a one-sided feud with Dave’s suspiciously excellent writing. ⚠️ Content Warning: Stalking and predatory behavior, religious trauma, illness and vomiting, injuries, physical violence within a paranormal account, brief mention of recent loss, and mature language. 👀 Sneak Peek 🚨 Missy’s instincts warn her that the man following her is no ordinary passerby 🌫️ Birdie touches a smoke entity—and deals with the consequences for three days 🏫 Dave challenges whatever is haunting a Mount Ida College staircase 📺 Joel pitches the 1990s villain we didn’t know we needed: Taser Ghost ❓ Question for the Comments: If you were canonized as a saint, what incredibly specific thing would you be the patron saint of, and what would people pray to you for? 🔗 Links 🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NotMyGhostPodcast 🎧 Listen now: https://pod.link/1754259268 📩 Paranormal Postcards submissions: notmyghostpodcast@gmail.com 🔗 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/notmyghostnotmyproblem 🛍️ Shop: https://notmyghostpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/ 📸 Instagram & TikTok: @notmyghostpodcast 📘 Facebook: Not My Ghost, Not My Problem 👻 Joel/FuelNeve: Instagram @thefuelneve | TikTok @Fuelneve 📖 Chapters 00:00 Cold Open & Welcome Back 00:33 Catching Up After the Hiatus 04:34 Patron Saints of Very Specific Chaos 14:19 The Creep at Green Lake 25:40 Taser Ghost: The TV Show 27:39 The Smoke Demon and I 42:20 A Haunted Experience at Mount Ida College 51:43 Submissions and Final Chaos 55:35 Stay Spooky, Stay Skeptical 📚 Sources & Further Reading Listener-submitted accounts — Missy, Birdie, and Dave Enenra — Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enenra Grimly Podcast — Audioboom https://audioboom.com/channels/5166696-grimly-podcast

    109. Bonaventure Cemetery: Whispers Beneath the Spanish Moss

    Beneath the Spanish moss of Savannah’s Bonaventure Cemetery, history and folklore share the same winding paths. We explore its plantation origins, Victorian mourning traditions, famous residents, Little Gracie Watson, and two eerie visitor encounters with our usual skeptical curiosity. ⚠️ Content Warning: Mentions of child death, enslavement, murder-suicide, epidemics, and fatal fires. 👀 Sneak Peek 🌳 From plantation to “city of the dead” 🪦 Victorian customs and grave symbolism 🎶 Mercer, Aiken, and Tattnall 👻 Little Gracie and two strange encounters ❓ Question for the Comments: Do you think Bonaventure Cemetery is haunted, or does its history make ordinary moments feel supernatural? 🔗 Links YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NotMyGhostPodcast Listen: https://pod.link/1754259268 Submissions: notmyghostpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/notmyghostnotmyproblem Shop: https://notmyghostpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/ Instagram/TikTok: @notmyghostpodcast Facebook: Not My Ghost, Not My Problem 📖 Chapters 00:00 Introduction 07:26 Savannah’s Buried History 11:19 Bonaventure’s Origins 20:06 Victorian Cemetery Culture 26:54 Famous Residents 45:42 Little Gracie Watson 57:47 Paranormal Accounts 63:15 Closing Reflections 📚 Sources City of Savannah: https://www.savannahga.gov/864/Bonaventure-Cemetery Little Gracie: https://www.bonaventurehistorical.org/little-gracie-watson/ 🎬 Credits Haunted well and Savannah aerial: BlackBoxGuild, Envato Elements.

    108. Island of the Dolls: The Legend Behind La Isla de las Muñecas

    Deep in the canals of Xochimilco, hundreds of weathered dolls hang from trees, fences, sheds, and nearly every available surface because apparently, one potentially haunted doll was not enough. This week, we explore La Isla de las Muñecas, the Island of the Dolls, and separate the documented history of Julián Santana Barrera from the drowned-girl legend, paranormal claims, tourism mythology, and the deeply reasonable fear of hundreds of empty eye sockets watching from the trees. ⚠️ Content Warning: Discussion of child death and drowning, plus disturbing descriptions involving damaged dolls. 👀 Sneak Peek 🪆 How one doll became a collection of hundreds 🚣 Xochimilco, chinampas, and the journey to the island 👻 Agustinita, whispered voices, moving dolls, and paranormal claims 🔍 How folklore, psychology, tourism, and paranormal TV shaped the legend ✨ Creators Mentioned: @cleanwithbeax, @midwestmagicalcleaning, and @sbmowing 🔗 Links 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NotMyGhostPodcast 📩 Paranormal Postcards: notmyghostpodcast@gmail.com 🔗 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/notmyghostnotmyproblem 📸 Instagram & TikTok: @notmyghostpodcast 📘 Facebook: Not My Ghost, Not My Problem 📚 Sources Historic Centre of Mexico City and Xochimilco — UNESCO https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/412/ Xochimilco — Mexico City Government https://www.mexicocity.cdmx.gob.mx/locations/xochimilco/?lang=en Isla de las Muñecas — Island of the Dolls https://isladelasmunecas.com/ The Girl from the River Seine — Laerdal Medical https://laerdal.com/docid/1117082/The-Girl-from-the-River-Seine 🎞️ Video & Image Credits CC BY-SA 4.0; adapted/cropped/edited for video: “Muneca original.jpg,” “Munecas en un muro.jpg,” “Munecas en arboles.jpg,” and “Munecas arboricolas.jpg” — Karpinico “Dueño original de la Isla de las muñecas.JPG” and “Muñecas pegadas a un árbol.JPG” — Px-lga “Muñeca desvestida y desgastada.JPG” and “Alambre con partes de muñeca.JPG” — EmyPheebs “Muñecas antiguas y sucias.JPG,” “Pared con muñecas.JPG,” and “Muñeca vieja colgada en alambre.JPG” — Emmanuel Eslava “Dolls in trees.jpg” — Evacatrin License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ “Canals of Xochimilco MVI 7199.webm” — Deror avi.

    107. A Very Haunted Cleaning Job: Paranormal Postcards vol. 14

    Paranormal Postcards Vol. 14 is officially here, and you ghosties understood the assignment: haunted mobile homes, hooded figures in the woods, family spirits, grief signs, one deeply unsettling basement presence, and a cleaning job that went from “absolutely not” to full spiritual confrontation. Joel joins us for this chaotic little ghost buffet, where the real question is less “is this haunted?” and more “why did anyone open that door?” 👀 Sneak Peek 👻 A haunted mobile home in Callahan, Florida with screaming, banging, and something lurking outside 🖤 Three hooded figures watching from the woods like the world’s worst welcoming committee 🕯️ A grandmother spirit who may still be visiting, comforting, and proving a childhood sighting was real 🧹 A house cleaner who refuses to be shoved down the stairs by a dark entity ❓ Question for the Comments: Would you open the door if something was banging at 2 AM and you saw absolutely nothing outside?
