Tall Tale Social Club is a paranormal comedy podcast from the beautiful woods of Wasilla, Alaska.

    Real Wendigo Cases That Ended in Court (Or Worse!)

    Before the Wendigo became every horror movie's favorite antlered skeleton boy, it was a real fear in real communities, and people kept ending up in actual courtrooms over it. We pulled four documented Wendigo encounters spanning almost 400 years, from a Jesuit missionary's letter in 1636 to a Wisconsin bow hunter who emailed a paranormal blog in 2019. Somewhere in the middle is a guy named Swift Runner who confessed to being possessed by one before they hanged him. Court records. Trial transcripts. Witness testimony. No anonymous Reddit posts, no creator fan-fic, and the cases get worse the closer you read them. If you're into Wendigo lore, Algonquian folklore, true paranormal encounters, cryptid deep dives, or the general genre of "North America has older monsters than the country itself," this one's for you. We cover the origin of the Wendigo legend, Wendigo psychosis as a documented phenomenon, the Swift Runner case, the Jack Fiddler trial, the Manitowoc County sighting, and one of the earliest written paranormal accounts on the continent. Headphones recommended. Daylight also recommended. Drop a comment if any of these happened in your backyard, because at this point we're collecting. New episodes weekly on Tall Tale Social Club, your home for true cryptid stories, paranormal history, and weirdos who can't leave well enough alone.

    After Dark | Aliens Fondled My Boy Bits (005)

    In today's episode, we turn our gaze skyward, into encounters where control is taken without consent and memory itself becomes unreliable. A child vanishes from a locked house and returns hours later soaked in an unplaceable substance, carrying drawings and messages about hybrid beings already living among us, and a timeline for their arrival. Another account crosses into disturbing physical territory, detailing invasive experimentation that leaves behind scars, markings, and sensations that refuse to fade. These stories aren’t about sightings from a distance, they’re about being taken, examined, and returned changed (and sometimes with a sore bum, y'know?). The episode deepens into long-term contact and altered perception. A narrator awakens repeatedly with unexplained symbols etched into their body, an unquenchable thirst, and the unsettling comfort of familiar grey visitors who seem less like captors and more like overseers. Finally, an encounter in a high-rise apartment expands beyond the greys entirely, revealing something larger, older, and far less human, beings that observe, extract, and retreat without explanation. Together, these stories explore abduction as an ongoing relationship, not a single event, and leave one question hanging in the dark: if they’re already here… what are they waiting for? STORIES: 0:00 - Shoutout to Double Shovel 6:53 - STORY: Aliens Are 10 Years Out 11:42 - Christian's Old Age is Showing 15:54 - STORY: Aliens Fondled My Boy Bits 23:00 - Horny Aliens and Sex Magic 24:45 - STORY: Memory Wiped by a Funny Grey 30:20 - Aliens, Cattle Mutilations & The Government 33:20 - STORY: Beyond The Grey 40:00 - Are We Being Hybridized? Probz. 42:30 - Are Aliens Just Cosmic Frat Bros on Vacation? TFD: After Dark is where The Freaky Deaky shows its teeth. This series trades casual retellings for carefully crafted, third-person narratives. True stories rewritten with the pacing, tension, and atmosphere of classic horror fiction. Think less “read off a screen,” more slow-burn dread, where every detail matters and silence is used as a weapon. Each episode unfolds over an immersive, original soundtrack that carries across the series, pulling listeners deeper into the story until it feels less like a podcast and more like being trapped inside someone else’s memory. Uncensored and unapologetically intense, After Dark also explores true accounts that are too disturbing, too adult, or too psychologically heavy for the main feed. These are stories about obsession, fear, violence, grief, and the moments people don’t talk about in polite company. It’s refined, deliberate, and meant to be experienced late at night, alone, with the lights low and your guard down. Listener discretion is advised. This is NOT a show for little ones.

    Freaky Encounters to Soil Your Shorts To (BGH004)

    This week on the Butterscotch Gang Hang, we accidentally assemble the worst possible houseguests: a dream that spoils the ending, a ghost with sticky fingers and zero respect for personal property, a hotel that dares you to uninstall yourself from existence, and whatever that thing was pretending to be Dad (it had ATTITUDE). We try being polite, we try ignoring it, we even try naming it—which, turns out, just unlocks new side quests and emotional damage. Let's get weird with it.

    277 | Philip K. Dick’s Visions Are Still Terrifying People...

    His stories warned us about the future. He told us what was coming if we slept, and in our hubris we ignored the warnings and created the world we were afraid of. We were entertained. We thought deeply about the concepts. We found those we wanted to blame then we persecuted them. We often talk about reality here. Is any of this real? Today’s little journey into the nature of reality begins in a chair. It is made to be comfortable but it never is. If this is your first time hearing this story about this chair you may be envisioning something sinister, something painful, and your thoughts are moving in the right direction. Your version of this sinister chair might be a bit extravagant. And I assure you it is simple. Because in Philip K Dick’s reality it is simply a dentist chair, and a Pink Light. A light that opened his mind to a download of information. But where did it come from, and who sent it? Had he lost his mind, or was it a revelation illuminating a world that had been hidden to him and remains hidden to most of us? We'll see you on the inside..
