    Dead Air: A Creators Collective Audio Anthology - Part 1

    HAPPY SPOOKY SEASON, WITCHES! Niamh got to try out some voice acting for this very special horror anthology with our pals at Creators Collective as one of the Five Doomed Hosts trapped in an abandoned radio station. Our story contribution will show up in Part 2, but you need to get the lore before that. Be sure to check out the pods in the LinkTree below and don't say we never do anything nice for ya! 👻👻👻👻👻 Welcome, Tonight we come to you from an abandoned radio station for a very special Halloween two-part series to broadcast some of the scariest stories, urban legends and real events live on air. Five friends have broken in with the plan to create something spectacularly and unforgettably spooky but their night is about to take a twisted turn when something sinister that was lurking within the confines of the building begins to take the forms of the stories they tell… They are only given one rule - Don’t stop the broadcast if you want to get out alive. Will they finish their show? Will they figure out what’s causing all of this? Will they make it through the terrifying stories recorded by their friends in the Collective unscathed? There’s only one way to find out and that is to tune in with them… Credits: We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who was involved in the making of this episode.

    Pine Cones: Sunken Cities | Rowan & Pine Shorts

    On 7 June 1692, a massive earthquake followed by a devastating tsunami killed two thousand people and submerged the city of Port Royal in Jamaica. Once dubbed the "wickedest city on earth," Port Royal was the infamous haven for the real-life pirates of the Caribbean, and its sudden sinking was widely deemed a swift act of divine retribution...

    Pine Cones: Doomsday Fish [Giant Oarfish] | Rowan & Pine Shorts

    During the Edo period, tales of mysterious yokai prophesying danger began to sweep across Japan. First came the Amabiko, a three-legged monkey-like spirit predicting hard times. Later, off the coast of Higo, stories spread of the Amabie, a strange, glittering creature with three legs, long flowing hair, a bird’s beak, and mermaid scales, surfacing to warn humanity of an impending epidemic. Over the centuries, the names and shapes shifted, but the core legend remained: a visitor from the deep foretelling doom. While most of these creatures faded into myth, one legend never truly died...

    Episode Fifty-Four: Funayūrei, Japanese Ghost Ships 🌊 it's Testicle Tuesday!

    PLEASE LIKE/COMMENT/SUBSCRIBE or we'll take the wind out of your sails. Seatember is back! And so is Emily! This time we set sail to Japan where we take a quick port stop in Japanese maritime folklore with sea dragons, whale cults and giant ocean monks (don't ask) before getting into the strange yet downright chilling folklore of the Funayūrei. These ships full of drowned sailors want one thing: to add to their crew by any means necessary (including using ladles to sink your ship). Tangents include live autopsies, some gushing about Widow's Bay, and why you shouldn't drive a Tesla through a cemetery.
