Feb 12, 2026
In this true scary story, we hear about what started as childhood summers in the remote Allegheny Mountains to solitary camping trips as a young adult. It was there where one man believed he understood the woods of West Virginia. He had the directions and knew the trails. But during one late-night hike back to his car, the forest changed. The insects stopped making noise, and suddenly he heard a large creature chasing after him.
Was it a predator? A legend? Or something far older that still lingers in those mountains?

Feb 5, 2026
Some people experience one strange moment in their lives, others grow up surrounded by them. From a childhood encounter involving a skeletal face at a bedroom window to years of shadow figures, unseen hands, and voices coming from empty rooms, this episode follows one listener’s lifelong relationship with the unexplained. As an adult, the activity intensifies, focused around a single presence that peers from doorways and vanishes when noticed.

In this true scary story, Evelyn has lived in the same house since early childhood, and for as long as they can remember, something has lived there with them. Strange sounds, unseen movement, animals refusing to enter certain spaces… all leading to one moment that still makes their heart race years later.
What happened in the middle of an ordinary afternoon shattered every rational explanation and left behind physical proof that something in the house can act with intent.

Some childhood memories never fade, no matter how hard you try to bury them.
In this episode, we hear two chilling true stories told by people who were far too young to understand what they were seeing. The first begins with a single night, a terrifying sound, and glowing red eyes watching from outside a bedroom window, an experience two sisters would not speak about for years. The second unfolds across decades inside a quiet house on the east side of Toledo, Ohio, where a shadowy presence seems tied to one specific room… and one family.
Whether these encounters were warnings, hauntings, or something far darker, both stories share one unsettling truth: some things don’t go away just because you grow up.

In this true scary story, we hear from Tracey. From the time she could walk, she knew something was watching her. What began as a childhood fear followed her through foster homes, adulthood, and motherhood... growing stronger with every major change in her life. As others finally began to witness what she had always felt, the truth became harder to deny: this was definitely not imagination, sensitivity, or coincidence. It was something attached to her family line… and it wasn’t done yet.

In this true scary story, we look back on a childhood shaped by fear, family secrets, and an unsettling presence tied to Crystal's great-grandmother. From disturbing discoveries in a backyard to strange dreams (that felt more like warnings) this story explores how the past lingers and how some people may be born more sensitive to what’s unseen. I really hope you enjoy this deeply personal account of generational darkness and unexplainable intuition.

Today we'll hear from Jasmine and Erika. The events starts with childhood sleep paralysis that escalates into visions, voices, and a dark figure. It is believed that it followed her into adulthood. But when a child begins seeing the same presence, and even her neighbors report identical sightings, we realize that this haunting may be far more real (and more dangerous) than previously imagined.
