    The Screaming Jenny Ghost & The Snarly Yowl Cryptid of Harpers Ferry

    Episode 85: Slice of the Paranormal hits up Harpers Ferry WV to explore the tales of Screaming Jenny, a ghostly woman said to appear as a flaming figure running along the railroad tracks near the historic B & O Railroad Station. Local legend says her screams still echo through the night as she races down the tracks where tragedy once struck. We also discuss the Snarly Yowl, a terrifying Appalachian cryptid said to haunt the surrounding hills. Described as a massive dog like beast with fiery red eyes that walks on two legs, the Snarly Yowl is rumored to be impossible to kill, surviving bullets, car crashes, and anything else thrown its way. To help us in our paranormal quest, we stopped at Devils Due Distillery to to hear the locals tales about Cryptids at an establishment that makes special Cryptid branded creations. Join Ryan, Christy, and Steven as they dive into haunted history, Appalachian folklore, ghost stories, cryptids, urban legends, paranormal encounters, and the strange mysteries hidden in the mountains of West Virginia.

    View Askewniverse Haunts: Clerks Locations and Jersey Ghost Stories

    Episode 84:   The Slice team headed into Monmouth County, New Jersey to explore haunted locations tied to the world of the View Askewniverse and the cult classic films of Kevin Smith. We visited iconic New Jersey movie locations connected to Clerks, Chasing Amy, and Jay and Silent Bob, including the legendary Quick Stop Groceries to count eggs and soak in one of the most recognizable indie film locations in movie history. We also stopped at Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash to check out props, memorabilia, and rare items from the View Askewniverse films. Along the way we hung out with John Willyung, the actor from the original ending of Clerks and the unforgettable "finger cuffs" scene from Chasing Amy. Naturally, we also tracked down local pizza spots in Red Bank because Jersey pizza is practically its own religion. But this trip wasn't just movie nostalgia. We explored haunted places and urban legends throughout Monmouth County, including the mysterious Dempsey House, where we dug into the truth behind the local legends. We also visited the historic Seabrook-Wilson House, better known as the Spy House, one of New Jersey's most talked about haunted sites. Finally, we stopped at The Canal Inn where we drank beside the infamous Death Chair and learned the chilling lore surrounding the bar.

    Inside the House of Oddities in Lancaster County

    Episode 78: The Slice of the Paranormal team loves to travel, and when we hit the road we can't resist stopping at places that dive deep into cryptids, UFOs, ghosts, and seriously dark artifacts. In this episode we head to Elizabethtown in Lancaster County to explore the strange and unforgettable House of Oddities and Curious Goods. Owner Jeremiah Crowther has been collecting bizarre artifacts since the 1980s, and his shop is packed with items that blur the line between history, sideshow oddities, and the paranormal. Inside you will find everything from a human skull and a repossessed tattoo to Blackbeard's booger and Martyr Blood balls. The shop also features classic sideshow gaffs from the closed Gettysburg Dime Museum, including Jo Jo the Dog Faced Boy and Edgar the Alligator Man. Turn a corner and you might come face to face with a statue of John Wayne Gacy dressed as Pogo the Clown, or see a preserved sample of Charles Manson's hair. We also talk about another fascinating Lancaster County location that sadly no longer exists. The town of Columbia is famous for a local cryptid known as the Albatwitch, a small Bigfoot like creature said to steal apples from orchards. The legend is so popular that the town hosts the annual Albatwitch Festival, which attracts cryptid hunters and folklore fans from all over. Local paranormal researcher Rick Fisher once operated the National Museum of Mysteries and Research, which displayed his personal collection of artifacts connected to Bigfoot, Mothman, UFO sightings, and the Albatwitch. The museum also held more than 1500 books, posters, and newspaper clippings covering decades of paranormal research. While the museum itself is gone, Rick is currently restoring the historic Columbia Market House Dungeon and offers tours of the site. He is also the author of Ghosts of the River Towns, a must have for anyone exploring the haunted history and strange legends of Lancaster County.
