episode 51: Ep. 51 Old House Woods - Summer Series Kickoff ft. Macabre Monday cover

Description

There is a 50-acre patch of woods in Mathews County, Virginia that has been terrifying people for over 300 years — and the paper trail to prove it goes all the way to a federally funded government archive at the University of Virginia.  Old House Woods is one of those locations that makes you question everything, because the witnesses aren’t anonymous internet strangers. They’re named. They’re dated. They gave their accounts to newspapers. And the history underneath those accounts — pirates, Revolutionary War gold, a royal governor who went rogue, Blackbeard operating miles away, a plantation built on a burial ground that caught fire and put itself out — is all on the record.  This week, I'm joined by Ale and Tom from Macabre Monday to dig into one of the most layered, most documented, and somehow most overlooked haunted locations in America. Phantom ships. Skeleton soldiers in armor. Treasure that was never recovered. And a storm ghost who rises above the trees to scream warnings at fishermen. Welcome to Old House Woods. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. PS. This is just the beginning - This is the official kickoff to our Summer Series of Woods, Roads, Lakes and Lighthouses & More. Are you ready? Press Play

57: Ep. 57 Englands Deadliest Forest & It's 2000 Year Body Count

Just outside one of the most populated cities on earth sits a 6,000-acre forest that has been collecting bodies — and secrets — since before the Roman Empire. Epping Forest isn’t just haunted. It’s a thousand-year crime scene layered on top of an Iron Age battlefield, a highwayman’s lair, and a gangland dumping ground. And that’s before we even get to the pond that locals say is *evil beyond measure.* In this episode of Creepy Shit, we’re diving deep into the true, documented, and wildly disturbing history of Epping Forest — England’s most dangerous woodland. We’re talking Celtic warrior queen Boudica’s last stand in 61 AD, Dick Turpin the real highwayman (not the romantic version — the murderous one), the Kray twins using the forest as their personal graveyard, a 30-year cold case known as the Babes in the Wood murders, a hill where your car rolls uphill with the engine off, and a pond with no location on any map that people say *pulls* you toward it. This one is packed with true crime, real history, paranormal activity, and the kind of dark folklore that will make you rethink everything you think you know about forests.

56: Ep. 56 The Bridge That Swallowed 844 Souls

In 1915, a ship everyone knew was dangerous capsized in the Chicago River — killing 844 people on their way to a company picnic. More deaths than the Titanic’s passenger list. 22 entire families, gone.  No one was ever held accountable.  And to this day, people standing on Chicago’s Clark Street Bridge report seeing faces in the water below. This is the SS Eastland disaster. And it’s been buried long enough.
