S4E79 – I Know Who You Are…

The fight-or-flight adrenaline rush. In the face of unexpected, shocking, petrifying situations, the human body floods the system, and the brain decides which action would result in a greater chance of survival. So when something happens but you can’t see it or understand what you’re seeing, which does the brain choose?

S4E78- Crawling towards me…

Strange and sinister happenings are never really tied to one location, are they? Sure, all the horror movies take place in homes, churches or graveyards or hospitals, where bad things happened at some point or other. But in real life, something spooky can be waiting around just about any corner. The stories in this episode will take us from the safety of your own home, to work, to friends’ homes, to school, and back home again. And remember, it’s not always about the destination – sometimes, the journey can be just as wild.

S4E76 – You two are alive.

As we find ourselves amidst the eerie embrace of the spooky season, emerging unscathed from the terror of Friday the 13th, we hope you’ve appeased Jason Voorhees with his campfire milk and cookies. If not, indulge in some for yourself as you dim the lights and prepare to immerse yourself in today’s tales. We’re diving into the experiences of those courageous souls who yearn for encounters with the unexplainable and those who’ve been privileged to hear what lurks in the shadows but remains hidden from sight.

S4E75- Her Eyes Were Gone…

It’s October, and we’re officially in peak spooky times. The veil to the other side gets thinner as the days wane and the apparitions grow restless. There’s no hiding from the darkness when the darkness begins taking more and more of what’s left of the daylight.

S4E74 – Please go. Please go. Please go

Welcome back to It’s Haunted…What Now? I’m your host, Lanie, and today, we’re embarking on a spine-tingling exploration of the supernatural.

In our first story, we’ll delve into the inexplicable events that have haunted a family for generations, leaving them with a sense of foreboding and an entity known only as “The Watcher.”

Story 1 – “The Watcher”: We unravel the unsettling experiences of a family with a long history of supernatural encounters. Deja vu, shadowy figures, and an enigmatic presence in their new home will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Story 2 – “Sixth Sense of Death”: Next, in our “Sixth Sense of Death” story, we’ll hear about a unique ability that one individual possesses: the power… to sense death itself. How does this uncanny talent affect their life, and what are the implications of such an extraordinary gift?

Story 3 – “Haunted House”: Then, we’ll plunge into a chilling tale of a “Haunted House” shared by friends. Their encounter with an unexplainable presence in a basement workout room will leave you questioning the boundaries between our world and the paranormal.

Story 4 – “Midnight Taco Run”: Lastly, join us for a midnight snack run that turned surreal in “Midnight Taco Run.” Discover the unnerving encounter with a creature that defied all logic, leaving our storytellers in disbelief and wonder.

So, haunted..listeners, prepare to be enthralled and unnerved. These tales will weave a web of intrigue that might leave your heart racing and your lights burning late into the night. As we delve deeper into the abyss of the unknown, remember you may question reality itself. Okay… ready to get spooked?

S4E73- Unexplained Encounters in Small Towns

The quaint small town is a staple in American storytelling where everyone knows each other, the schools have barely more than 100 students, and the kids grow up together throughout their childhoods. They’re quiet and peaceful, where adults rear families for generations. In contrast, they are also used in cinema as locations for fictional ax murderers or creepy places to get stuck when your car breaks down.

Today’s episode is brimming with uncanny, unusual, and unexplainable encounters with entities inhabiting small towns and a peculiar incident at a cadaver lab.

Ok, ready to get spooked?
