    Oweynagat – The Cave of the Cats

    On a quiet road in County Roscommon, Ireland, a low hump of stone hides a crawl-space entrance into the dark. Locals call it the Cave of the Cats, and according to ancient tradition, it is where Samhain, and maybe Halloween itself, was born. This Halloween week on Destination Terror, we visit Oweynagat, the so-called Gate to Hell at Rathcroghan, the legendary seat of Queen Medb. In tonight's original story, a woman inherits a farm beside the cave and is given four rules for the last night of October. Shut the gate. Leave a bowl of water on the sill. Stay out of the back field. And whatever you do, do not count the flock. Then we step out of the story to explore the real history behind the legends: the Morrígan's chariot, the pigs that multiplied when counted, birds with poisoned breath, and the tale of Nera, who followed an army into the Otherworld on Samhain night. Turn down the lights, and make sure your door is locked. #DestinationTerror #Oweynagat #CaveOfTheCats #Samhain #Halloween #IrishFolklore #CelticMythology #Rathcroghan #GateToHell #Morrigan #HauntedPlaces #HorrorPodcast #Eeriecast EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales.

    Haunted Brushy Mountain Prison - The End of the Line

    Deep in the East Tennessee mountains, Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary was built from the Coal Creek War and the end of convict leasing. For 113 years, men were sent to the end of the line to dig coal inside a mountain that kept most of its secrets. Today the prison is a historic site, and visitors and paranormal investigators report shadow figures, whispering voices, and freezing cold spots in the halls. In this episode of Destination Terror, a father searching for his missing four-year-old daughter follows her tiny footprints to the prison gate and finds it open. We also dig into the real history of Brushy Mountain, from the mines and the overcrowded cell blocks to James Earl Ray's famous 1977 escape and the hauntings people still talk about. The story is original fiction inspired by the location. The history and reported hauntings are real. Until next time, stay safe out there, until we meet at our next destination. #DestinationTerror #BrushyMountain #HauntedPrison #HauntedTennessee #TennesseeGhosts #HauntedPlaces #ParanormalPodcast #HorrorPodcast #GhostStories #ScaryStories #HauntedHistory #Eeriecast EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales.

    DESPERATION NEVADA – Stephen King’s Town of Tak

    Desperation, Nevada – a dying copper town on the loneliest road in America, where the tables are still set, the coffee is still hot, and nobody has been home in years. Stephen King's fictional mining town is the destination this week, and the silence there is listening. https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror #Desperation #StephenKing #Tak #Highway50 #Nevada #HorrorFiction #GhostTown #FictionalHaunting #DestinationTerror #Eeriecast EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales.

    Flatwoods West Virginia - The Flatwoods Monster

    On September 12, 1952, a glowing object dropped from the sky over Flatwoods, West Virginia. A group of boys, a mother, a young National Guardsman and a dog climbed the hill to look. They ran back down describing a ten-foot figure with a blood-red face, a pointed hood and glowing eyes, gliding toward them out of a foul mist. Was it a visitor from another world, or a startled barn owl having a very bad night? In this episode of Destination Terror, we visit the Braxton County hills to dig into the witnesses, the investigators and the skeptics behind the Flatwoods Monster. Our story tonight is a work of fiction inspired by the legend. It deals with a marriage falling apart, a man with a drinking problem, and a very bad night to be out in the woods. Listener discretion is advised. #DestinationTerror #FlatwoodsMonster #FlatwoodsWestVirginia #BraxtonCounty #WestVirginia #Cryptid #UFO #Paranormal #HauntedPlaces #ScaryPodcast #Eeriecast #HorrorPodcast #AppalachianFolklore #MothmanCountry #CarmanCarrion EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales.

    Bodie, California — Take a Souvenir, Pay the Price

    High in the hills east of the Sierra Nevada sits Bodie, California. It was once one of the most lawless gold rush boomtowns in the West, and today it's the most famous ghost town in America. Its buildings stand frozen in time, with dishes still on the tables and goods still on the shelves. The town has one rule: take nothing. Visitors who pocketed a nail, a shard of glass or even a pebble have reported illness, accidents and a run of bad luck, and every week the park receives apology letters with the stolen items rattling inside. On this episode of Destination Terror, Carman Carrion tells an original story about a woman who took one rusty nail from a lonely shack and learned what it was really worth. Then we get into the true history of Bodie: its violent boom years, the fires that nearly wiped it out, the haunted J.S. Cain House, the Angel of Bodie, and where the Bodie Curse really came from. Look all you want. Just leave Bodie in Bodie.   #DestinationTerror #Bodie #BodieCurse #BodieCalifornia #GhostTown #HauntedPlaces #HauntedCalifornia #CursedObjects #GhostStories #Paranormal #WildWest #GoldRush #HauntedHistory #TrueHaunting #HorrorPodcast #ParanormalPodcast #Eeriecast #CarmanCarrion #CreepyStories #AmericanGhostTowns   EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales.

    SKELLIG MICHAEL — STONE STEPS TO ISOLATION

    For over 600 years, monks climbed 600 hand-cut stone steps to live in total isolation on a jagged rock in the Atlantic — hunting God at the edge of the world. Then, without a single written explanation, they vanished. Tonight we climb Skellig Michael's stairway into a storm, a missing brother, and a wordless song rising up from the sea that the monastery was never meant to hear. Real history, real deaths, and a mystery no historian has ever solved.   #DestinationTerror #SkelligMichael #HauntedIreland #TrueHorrorHistory #HorrorPodcast #TruecrimeCommunity #HorrorStories #ParanormalPodcast #DarkHistory #HauntedPlaces #IrishFolklore #GothicHorror #CrimeJunkiePodcast #HorrorFanatics #TrueCrimePodcast #HauntedTravel #EerieCastNetwork #SpookyStories #FolkHorror #AtmosphericHorror   EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales.

    LA NORIA – The Ghost Town That Still Rings Bells

    Deep in Chile's Atacama Desert — the driest place on Earth — sits the abandoned ruins of La Noria, a saltpeter mining town founded in 1826 and left to rot when the industry collapsed. What remains is a roofless church, a cemetery of thousands of cracked and leaning crosses, and a legend locals repeat without hesitation: the dead of La Noria don't stay buried after dark.   This episode, we trace the town's brutal real history — forced labor, child death, and a burial ground the desert keeps trying to give back — alongside the story of a woman who came looking for one name in a hundred-year-old company ledger, and heard something answer her instead.   If you hear the bell, don't go looking for it.   🔔 #DestinationTerror #LaNoria #Chile #GhostTown #AtacamaDesert #Haunted #HauntedHistory #TrueHorror #ParanormalPodcast #HorrorPodcast #GhostStories #AbandonedPlaces #Cryptid #DarkHistory #SaltpeterTowns #Humberstone #HorrorCommunity #TruePlacesTrueFear   EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales.

    Fouke, Arkansas — The Beast That Walks Out of Boggy Creek

    Something seven feet tall has been walking out of the Arkansas swamp for over a hundred years. It leaves footprints with only three toes. It's been shot at more times than anyone can count — and it always comes back. This is the Fouke Monster.   Deep in the Sulphur River bottoms of southwest Arkansas, the little town of Fouke shares its backyard with the Beast of Boggy Creek — the three-toed, red-eyed swamp Bigfoot that terrorized the Ford family in 1971, inspired the cult classic film The Legend of Boggy Creek, and still gets called in to the county sheriff to this day. Host Carman Carrion — an Arkansas native — takes you down to the bottoms for the full story: the decades of sightings, the night it all went national, and an original tale of one man who went into that swamp after dark and came back marked forever.   Keep your headlights on. Watch your treeline. And whatever you do — leave it be.   #FoukeMonster #BoggyCreek #Cryptid #Bigfoot #Sasquatch #Arkansas #SwampMonster #LegendOfBoggyCreek #TrueHorror #Paranormal #ScaryStories #HorrorPodcast #Folklore #Unexplained #Cryptids #DestinationTerror   EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror ________________________________________ SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion ________________________________________ CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ ________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales. ________________________________________ DISCOVER MORE HORROR: http://eeriecast.com/ https://www.carman-carrion.com/ ________________________________________ MUSIC CREDITS: Music and sound effects provided by: ElevenLabs Learn more about your ad choices.
