    43 | 3 Poltergeist Cases That Turned Violent

    Most ghost stories are quiet. A creak in the hallway. A cold spot in a dark room. Maybe the feeling that someone is standing just behind you when no one is there. But poltergeist cases are different. They’re chaotic. Violent. Sometimes terrifyingly physical. Objects fly across rooms. Furniture overturns. Glass shatters. And the strangest part? These incidents are often witnessed by multiple people—including journalists, police officers, and investigators—who walk away unable to explain what they saw. Tonight’s stories come from real cases where whatever haunted the location didn’t stay hidden. It made itself known… loudly, aggressively… and sometimes dangerously. We'll See You On The Inside… STORY TIME STAMPS: 4:39 - STORY 1: The Poltergeist of Thornton Heath 16:24 - STORY 2: The Fires of Canneto di Caronia 28:18 - STORY 3: The Unsettling One ----- Our flagship paranormal podcast, The Freaky Deaky, will be rebranded to Tall Tale Social Club this Summer.

    42 | 3 Real Hauntings No One Can Explain

    Most ghost stories come with a theory. People say it’s the spirit of someone who died in the house… or the echo of a tragedy that refuses to fade. Sometimes there’s a name attached to the haunting, a face from the past, or a piece of history that helps explain why something might still be lingering long after the living have moved on. But not every haunting comes with an explanation. Sometimes the activity starts in a completely ordinary place. A quiet home. A small apartment. A building that has no dark history, no violent past, nothing that should leave behind a ghost. And yet something begins moving… knocking… watching. Something that doesn’t seem tied to the location at all. Tonight we’re looking at two cases that investigators still struggle to explain. No clear cause. No confirmed hoax. Just a long list of events that shouldn’t have been possible… and the people who were forced to live through them. We'll see you on the inside… STORY TIME STAMPS: 4:00 - STORY 1: The South Shields Poltergeist 14:40 - STORY 2: The Dybbuk Box 30:18 - STORY 3: The Most Unexplainable Haunting Of All Time ----- Our flagship paranormal podcast, The Freaky Deaky, will be rebranded to Tall Tale Social Club this Summer.

Or Click Here:⁠⁠ Listen to The Freaky Deaky Podcast⁠⁠ ----- Tonight we unpack two terrifying true tales of cursed souvenirs and Phantom Hitchhikers in Volume 41 of Sleep With The Lights On! You ever bring something home that didn’t belong to you? I don’t mean a stranger’s umbrella or a borrowed book—I’m talking about the other kind of baggage (No, not emotional baggage either). The sort you can’t see, but you feel in your bones. A chill in the hallway that wasn’t there yesterday. The sound of something breathing just beyond your bedroom door. These are the stories of people who walked into something strange… and it walked out with them. Tonight’s tales aren’t about places that are haunted—they’re about people who are. Two souls caught in the wake of something dark, something old, something patient. Maybe they made a wrong turn. Maybe they touched the wrong object. Maybe they just looked too long into the shadows. Either way… what they brought home refused to let go. We'll see you on the inside… STORY TIME STAMPS: 2:47 - STORY 1: The Vessel 12:20 - STORY 2: The Appalachian Hitchhiker _____________________________________________ For more true horror stories of the strange and unexplained, be sure to check out our flagship podcast, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Freaky Deaky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a paranormal comedy show out of Wasilla, Alaska.

    40 | Haunted House Stories Too Disturbing to Ignore

Be sure to check out our main show, The Freaky Deaky (Click the 'More Like This' tab) with over 270 Hour Long Episodes and FILLED with Terror, Tickles and Tangents just like Sleep With The Lights On, with 2 new episodes a month. Or Click Here:⁠⁠ Listen to The Freaky Deaky Podcast⁠⁠ ----- Buckle up for a healthy dose of weird as we unpack two haunted house stories too disturbing to ignore. Featuring a house that allegedly bleeds, Satan's IKEA Table & A Spritz of Eau de Ghost (for good measure). Here's the thing, not all hauntings scream for attention. Some slip through the cracks—quiet, calculated, and deeply personal. In this episode of Sleep With The Lights On, we explore two true stories of homes that seemed to breathe on their own. First, a modest English maisonette that bled without reason—human blood on the walls, wet handprints on the ceiling, and a dining table that smolders from the inside. Then, a college rental where sleep paralysis runs rampant, game consoles play themselves, and a choking cloud of old lady perfume signals that something unseen has entered the room. These aren’t just ghost stories—they’re warnings. Tales of places that didn't want to be lived in… or never wanted their secrets disturbed. So if you're alone tonight, maybe leave the lights on. Because sometimes the scariest thing about a haunted house… is that it might just be waiting for the right opportunity to reveal itself to you.. We'll see you on the inside… STORY TIME STAMPS: 4:10 - STORY 1: The House That Bled 13:56 - STORY 2: Perfume of the Unseen _____________________________________________

    39 | Something FOLLOWED Him Out of the Woods...

Or Click Here:⁠⁠ Listen to The Freaky Deaky Podcast⁠⁠ ----- Welcome back to SWTLO! Something Followed Him Out of The Woods, and you'll never guess what it was. In Volume 39, We're Diving Into 2 True Paranormal Encounters of Eerie experiences from unforgiving forests. The forest is a place where time bends, where shadows move just beyond the edge of your vision, and where the ordinary world slips quietly away. You might think a walk through the woods will bring calm and peace, but sometimes the trees hold darker secrets—secrets that reach out and pull you into something you can’t explain. Tonight, we travel from the dense, whispering forests of Massachusetts to the murky swamps of South Carolina, following two very different yet equally unsettling encounters. One man steps into a forest and vanishes for hours, returning with no memory of where he’s been—and a lingering sense that something followed him home. The other is a swamp where a creature, half man and half reptile, prowls the shadows—its glowing eyes watching, waiting, striking fear into anyone foolish enough to cross its path. So if you ever find yourself lost among the trees or hearing strange noises in the dark, remember: some forests don’t want you to leave. And some things that dwell within don’t want to be seen—only felt. We'll see you on the inside...

Join us as we unpack Two chilling true stories of midnight visitors, shadows that whisper your name, and encounters too real to dismiss as sleep paralysis.You’ve heard the term before—sleep paralysis. A strange glitch of the mind that wakes the body too early or too late. Doctors call it harmless. An illusion. A chemical hiccup. And maybe that’s true—But…then again, maybe it's not.Maybe sometimes what you see in that frozen moment… is seeing you back. Maybe you wake to find something waiting—at the foot of your bed, in the corner of your room, pressing its weight into your chest like it belongs there. And when you finally move again, it’s gone… but never forgotten.Tonight, we’re looking into two cases that were passed off as sleep paralysis by those who weren’t there to experience the terror first-hand. But those who lived it—they know better. These weren’t dreams. And they weren’t alone.We'll see you on the inside…STORY TIME STAMPS:5:51 - STORY 1: Let Me In20:08 - STORY 2: The Night Visitor _____________________________________________ For more true horror stories of the strange and unexplained, be sure to check out our flagship podcast, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Freaky Deaky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a paranormal comedy show out of Wasilla, Alaska.

There are places in your home you never expect to feel fear — Most nights, those spaces mean nothing. But on rare occasions, they become stage and spotlight for something… watching.

Whatever you believe about ghosts or the unexplained, these stories will leave you checking the locks twice… and maybe leaving a light on in the hallway.STORY TIME STAMPS:3:52 - STORY 1: The Vanishing Knocker 15:41 - STORY 2: The Locked Door Incident ------ For more true horror stories of the strange and unexplained, be sure to check out our flagship podcast, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Freaky Deaky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a paranormal comedy show out of Wasilla, Alaska.

We're back, and better than ever (except for the camera focusing malfunction that isn't fixed until Vol. 39. Sorry bout that.)There’s something about a child’s toy — the glassy stare of a doll, the eternal grin of a puppet, the way they always seem to be watching even when no one’s around. We tell ourselves it’s just the design. Just cheap plastic molded into something cheerful. But sometimes... the smile doesn’t feel so friendly. Sometimes a toy isn’t just a toy. And sometimes... your child’s imaginary friend isn’t imaginary at all.Tonight, we step into rooms that haven't changed in decades. Rooms with toys still resting where they were last played with. We’ll open the lid on old toy boxes that were never meant to be opened. And if you hear whispering in the shadows when the story ends — don’t worry. It’s probably just your imagination. Probably.We'll see you on the inside…STORY TIME STAMPS:3:27 - STORY 1: Charlie On The Shelf15:10 - STORY 2: Letta Me Out: Letta The Haunted Doll ------ For more true horror stories of the strange and unexplained, be sure to check out our flagship podcast, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Freaky Deaky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a paranormal comedy show out of Wasilla, Alaska.
