Dead Air Files

Mac

Hosted by Mac, alongside his investigative partner and cousin Smash, and lead researcher and Wife Ang. Dead Air Files is a paranormal, true crime, and lost-history podcast rooted in the Appalachian region, uncovering the strange, forgotten, and unexplained stories hidden within its mountains and communities. Each episode pieces together investigations, witness accounts, and historical fragments to explore what lies beneath the surface of regional legend and reality. While grounded in Appalachia, the series also reaches beyond its borders—exploring folklore, myths, and mysterious accounts from around the world to compare how different cultures interpret the unexplained. From eerie local encounters to global legends, Dead Air Files connects the dots between history, belief, and the unknown. Grounded, atmospheric, and research-driven, Dead Air Files focuses on the details that linger—unanswered questions, strange coincidences, and the quiet moments where something feels off. If you’re drawn to unsolved cases, global folklore, and the unexplained edges of reality, you’ve found the right frequency.

    The Dark Side of Randonautica: True Crime & Eerie Encounters | Ledger 62 | Dead Air Files

    What happens when an app sends you somewhere you never would have found on your own? Randonautica was designed to turn random coordinates into real-world adventures—but for some users, the places they were led to became anything but ordinary. In this Ledger episode of Dead Air Files, we’re looking at the darker side of Randonautica, including the true crime case that brought worldwide attention to the app, along with other unsettling encounters reported by people who followed their coordinates and found themselves in places they couldn’t easily explain. Strange discoveries. Disturbing coincidences. Unexpected encounters. And stories that make you wonder whether randomness is really as random as we think. Are these experiences nothing more than coincidence and confirmation bias—or is there something about setting an intention and following a random path that can lead you somewhere you were never supposed to be? You decide. ——— Know More. Fear Less If you or someone you know is struggling, you’re not alone.
