    TRUE Stories #3: I Visited A House From The 1500s

    Ever wondered what it's like to walk through history while doing your job? Join us this week as we dive into an unforgettable experience that blends the past and present in the most eerie way possible. In this episode, our host shares a remarkable story from a recent work visit to a house built in the 1500s—the oldest house they've ever inspected.
    Set in a sunny English suburb, the tale begins with a routine inspection in a seemingly typical, albeit ancient, house. From the bright and welcoming downstairs to the less inviting upstairs, the journey takes an unexpected turn when our host steps into a room that feels anything but ordinary.

    The Scarecast Files #11: It's A Small World After All

    The Scarecast Files #11: It's A Small World After All

    Back in 1966, Disneyland debuted their new attraction, It’s A Small World which boasted over 240 animatronics and an unforgettable soundtrack that surely would leave a tune running in your head for a long time. The ride was made for the kids, who would be overloaded with all these cute dolls singing to them as they ride in their little boats in amaze. But for some, these little dolls can become quite creepy. Almost as if the dolls have trapped souls in them, there have been eerie reports that even after the ride is shut down and closed, the dolls can still be heard singing in the dead of night. Have you experienced anything?
