    Shadow People

    Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night and thought you saw someone standing in the corner of your room? This week, Becca dives into the terrifying phenomenon of shadow people — the dark, human-like figures that thousands of people claim to see lurking in doorways, bedrooms, and hallways. From sleep paralysis encounters to stories of the infamous Hat Man, we’re talking about the kinds of shadow people out there, what they’re like, and the chilling experiences that leave people convinced they saw them.

    Mothman

    In 1966, people in the small town of Point Pleasant began reporting something terrifying lurking in the shadows — a massive winged creature with glowing red eyes. This week, Mom dives into the legend of the Mothman: the first sightings, the panic that spread through town, strange paranormal encounters, and the tragic disaster forever tied to the creature’s name. Was it a warning? A cryptid? Or just mass hysteria? Over 50 years later, people are still trying to figure out what was really seen in Point Pleasant.

    Old Idaho Pen

    This week, Becca takes us inside the Old Idaho State Penitentiary — a prison built in the 1800s that held some of Idaho’s most dangerous criminals for over 100 years. From brutal conditions and prison riots to attempted escapes and notorious inmates, the prison’s dark history still lingers inside its sandstone walls. What started as a single cell house eventually became one of the most infamous prisons in the West… and many people believe some of its former inmates never really left.

    Synanon

    This week, Mom tells the story of something right in her backyard - Synanon — the organization that started as a drug rehabilitation program, but slowly transformed into something far more disturbing. What began with the goal of helping people recover eventually became known for strict control, intense group tactics, and a leader whose power continued to grow unchecked. From “The Game” to the group’s increasingly bizarre and dangerous behavior, Synanon’s story has become one of the most infamous cult-like organizations in American history.

    Roswell

    Something crashed in the New Mexico desert in 1947. Depending on who you ask, it was a weather balloon… a secret military experiment… or something not from this world. This week, Becca reveals her secret obsession — aliens — and dives into the story of Roswell. What was first reported as a “flying disc” was quickly taken back by the military, replaced with a much more ordinary explanation. But the story didn’t end there. Over the years, witness accounts, government statements, and conspiracy theories have only added more questions. Often considered one of the first modern conspiracy theories, people have debated for decades what really crashed near Roswell… and whether the truth has been hidden ever since.

    Amityville Horror

    This week, Mom tells the story of the Amityville house — one of the most infamous hauntings in America. She dives into the history of Ronald DeFeo Jr., who murdered his entire family at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, Long Island… and what may have followed in that house after. After the DeFeo family murders, the Lutz family moved in, but they didn’t stay long. What they experienced inside has been questioned, debated, and retold for decades. A brutal crime. A new family. And a story that still leaves people wondering what was real. Photos from this episode can be found here Have spooky stories or specific topics you want to hear us dive into?

    Our Favorite Dollies

    You might be putting your dolls in the attic after this one. Becca dives into the story of Annabelle — the doll that’s been locked away for decades after terrifying its owners and catching the attention of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Then Mom introduces us to Robert the Doll, a mischievous little icon who’s been blamed for everything from accidents to nightmares… and is still getting apology letters to this day. Tell me you don’t want to go visit both of these precious little dolls immediately. Photos from this episode can be found here Have spooky stories or specific topics you want to hear us dive into?

    Don't Say It Three Times

    This week, we’re sharing some of our favorite urban legends. Mom tells the story of the Bunny Man — a terrifying figure said to haunt a bridge in Virginia, with sightings, strange encounters, and a history that’s as eerie as it is unclear. A story that’s been passed around for decades — and after hearing it, you might never look at someone in a bunny suit on Halloween the same way again. Then Becca takes on Bloody Mary… the mirror legend you probably heard about — and maybe even tried — at a sleepover when you were younger. Packed in a bathroom with your friends, half-laughing, half-terrified, hoping you don’t see anything… or maybe hoping you do. From dark roads and shadowy figures…to candles, mirrors, and names you shouldn’t say out loud… Some things are better left alone.
