Haunted Stores in Mexico E118

If you’ve been to Mexico or anywhere in Latin America, chances are you’ve been in a tienda Oxxo. These are the largest chain of convenience stores in all of Latin America and maybe even the most haunted. In today’s episode, Cristina and MJ talk about paranormal stories that take place in different Oxxo stores in Mexico, a haunted piñata store in Guadalajara, Mexico, and a haunted cafe. Oh, and of course, they had to mention Stockton, California’s own haunted Burlington Coat Factory. Cristina and MJ share these stories, have some laughs, and share their spooky recommendations, but first, Cristina reads a listener story.

S4E72 – The Knocking Moved From Window to Window

The days might be longer now, but the nights are certainly darker. Summer nights hold a different kind of chill in the air, and I’m so glad that several of these stories are just the perfect sort to tell around a campfire. From strange encounters by the roadside to cabins in the woods to haunted cemetery grounds, we’ve pulled together some classic summer camp ghost stories for you that are guaranteed to send a chill down your spine in this warm weather.

S4E68 – It Feels Real…

Typically when unexplained phenomena occur to us, our first thought is to be afraid, whether due to sensational films or a natural survival reaction. We have a choice to make to either continue existing with the paranormal or do something about it. Today’s episode contains stories about tellers who question if the entity is good or evil and what should be done with it. Okay, ready to get spooked?

S4E66 – She Needed Help

For centuries humans have been telling stories to teach or find like-minded companions. We tell ghost stories to spook each other and to find hope that we are not alone in what we experience. That we’re not losing our minds. Today’s episode is brimming with tales of people lucky enough to have witnessed unfortunate people who wished they weren’t alone.

S5E63 – I NEVER Have to Go There Again…

They say seeing is believing, but what if you saw it and heard it and lived it but you still can’t believe it? It’s so hard to accept paranormal experiences as real, but when it happens to you, what else can you do but believe it as real? Sometimes it’s so hard to believe what happened really did happen because it was so fantastical and unreal.

S4E61 – Wherever You Go…

Author Wendy Wunder wrote, “The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.” Ever wonder why spirits choose to return or never leave a location? It might be a familiar place in an unfamiliar dimension. It might be the safety they always felt during life. This episode will have you second-guessing every sound you hear at night with tales about home sweet home. Okay, ready to get spooked?

S4E60 – It Was Coming From Behind Me…

With the passing of Halloween, the spooky season has officially come to a close. This doesn’t mean that we’re anywhere near finished with ghost stories though; on the contrary, I think November has just as strong of a case as October for being a time for scary stories told after dark. The sun makes rarer and rarer appearances these days, which means there’s plenty of extra time to listen to the stories I’ve collected for you. So…are you ready to get spooked?

S4E59- A Blur In My Head

Our lives are filled with little routines that we constantly go through day in and day out to keep ourselves organized, put together, and sane. Sometimes something truly unexplainable happens and suddenly our eyes are opened to the possibility that our ordinary lives aren’t what it may seem. Okay, ready to get spooked?
