The Skeleton Saint: Faith, Delusion, and Crime

Episode | 28 min | Jan 16, 2026
In this episode, we examine the disappearance of six-year-old Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, a medically fragile child who was last seen months before authorities were alerted. What started as a routine welfare check turned into a disturbing investigation involving deception, alleged abuse, and a mother who fled the country just days after being questioned.
But this story doesn’t end with a manhunt. As investigators uncovered the beliefs that the mother had, attention turned to a controversial and often misunderstood folk saint: La Santa Muerte. Through anthropology, history, and firsthand accounts, we explore whether this figure represents something sinister... or whether fear and cultural bias have distorted her meaning.
This episode contains sensitive material and explores themes of child harm, belief, and justice. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

Ghosts in the Fog: A True Railroad Haunting

Episode | 29 min | Dec 18, 2025
In the hills outside Philadelphia lies Duffy’s Cut, a stretch of railroad haunted by whispers, strange lights, and a century-old secret. 
What began as a ghost story passed down through generations slowly revealed a hidden chapter of American history involving immigrant laborers, fear-driven violence, and a truth deliberately buried. This episode explores how folklore, science, and persistence converged to give voice to the forgotten dead and asks whether the spirits were ever really silent.

The Ghost Sickness: True Documented Cases of Mass Spiritual Possession in Malaysia

Episode | 20 min | Oct 17, 2025
Horror strikes in the schools of rural Malaysia as girls suddenly begin screaming, claiming that there are evil spirits around them. And in a shoe factory, more women (up to 30 at a time) begin acting strangely and displaying supernatural strength. In another case, a Chinese family in Malaysia begins experiencing a spiritual possession; something that only a bomoh, a spiritual healer, can help with. What makes these creepy cases so bizarre is that they were studied by psychiatrists through interviews, analysis, and professional diagnosis. Even to this day, they are considered to be cases of mass spiritual possession.

The Castle of Giants: Paranormal Mysteries of the Šumava Mountains

Episode | 23 min | Sep 4, 2025
In the remote Šumava mountains of the Czech Republic, legends of giants, strange lights, and translucent beings are whispered through a mix of folklore and extraterrestrial mystery. From a prehistoric “Giant’s Castle” with glowing bones to Cold War–era UFO sightings ignored by radar, the region has long been a hotspot of unexplained phenomena. Some claim aliens refuel on its uranium-rich peaks, while others whisper of forest spirits luring wanderers away. Šumava remains one of Europe’s most unsettling landscapes of high strangeness, and today, we'll find out why.

When the Dead Came Back

Episode | 18 min | Aug 14, 2025
In the winter of 1892, the quiet town of Exeter, Rhode Island, became the stage for one of New England’s most infamous cases of vampire panic. Tuberculosis, then called “consumption”, was killing families one by one, and superstition filled the gaps science couldn’t explain. When 19-year-old Mercy Brown died, neighbors whispered she wasn’t at rest… that she was undead and feeding on her brother from beyond the grave.
