  1. Vampire - The Cryptid Files

    MAY 14

    Vampire - The Cryptid Files

    In this chilling installment of The Cryptid Files, we descend into one of the most enduring legends in human history—the vampire. From shadowed European folklore to early American panic stories whispered in isolated towns, we trace how the idea of the “undead” spread across generations, evolving each time it crossed a border. Was the vampire ever just a myth built from disease, misunderstanding, and fear of the unknown? Or did something real slip through the cracks of history and stay there? Some say vampires are just folklore. Others aren’t so sure. Either way, the dark has been listening for a very long time.

  2. The Dark Reality of Cruise Ship Crime

    MAY 12

    The Dark Reality of Cruise Ship Crime

    Out on the open ocean, there’s nowhere to run and nowhere for secrets to hide. In this episode of Hexes, Haunts & Howls, we drift into the unsettling world of cruise ship crime: missing passengers, onboard investigations, jurisdictional gray zones, and the eerie reality that once a ship leaves port, it enters a space where laws, accountability, and truth can get surprisingly complicated. From high-profile cases that made headlines to the quieter incidents that never left the ship’s walls, we explore what can happen when thousands of strangers are contained in a floating city… surrounded by nothing but deep water. Because when something goes wrong at sea, the question isn’t just what happened—it’s who’s responsible, and why answers can be so hard to find.

    Iowa - A-Z of Haunted America

    In this episode of A–Z of Haunted America, we travel into the quiet heart of the Midwest; Iowa! A place often described as peaceful, open, and unremarkable… until you start listening closely. Beneath its cornfields and river towns, Iowa holds stories that don’t try to be loud. They don’t need to be. From isolated farmsteads where something still feels like it’s watching from the treeline, to long-forgotten settlements that seem to linger just out of sight, this episode explores the kind of hauntings that don’t announce themselves, they settle in.

  5. Indiana - A-Z of Haunted America

    MAY 4

    Indiana - A-Z of Haunted America

    Indiana looks quiet at first glance—long highways, open farmland, and small towns that seem far removed from anything unusual. But beneath that stillness are stories that refuse to fade away. In this episode of A–Z of Haunted America, we explore Indiana’s most unsettling accounts, from the Beast of Busco—a massive snapping turtle said to have once stirred an entire town into a frenzy—to strange reports of small, elusive creatures in the woods and forgotten corners of the state. We also step into the darker side of Indiana history with Fox Hollow Farm, one of the most disturbing true crime cases in the state, where the line between place and memory never fully settled again. Across every story, one pattern emerges: nothing here is loud or obvious. Instead, it’s quiet moments, half-seen figures, and unanswered questions that linger long after the telling. Indiana may look ordinary… but it has a way of holding onto the things people can’t fully explain.

    TikTok Compilation - Your Stories, Heard.

    Tonight’s episode is a compilation of listener stories originally shared on TikTok—real experiences sent in by people who swear something strange happened to them. You’ll hear accounts of shadow figures seen in the wrong places, voices where no one should have been, objects moving without explanation, and moments that still don’t quite make sense no matter how much time passes. Some of these stories are unsettling, some are subtle, and some are the kind that stick with you long after you’ve heard them. All stories will remain anonymous.

Others warned she brought only death. In this episode of The Cryptid Files, we explore the eerie history of Scotland’s dark mermaid, the fear of deep water, ancient warnings hidden in folklore, and the unsettling question that remains… Was the Ceasg only a myth… or did something watch from the shoreline?
