Dead Air Files

Crossroads. Ep:45 Cryptid and True crime ft. Nightshade (Sunflower and Nightshade)

In this newest episode of Dead Air Files, Mac is joined by Nathan—aka Nightshade from Sunflower and Nightshade—for a wide-ranging conversation that drifts between true crime, cryptids, and the strange space where the two overlap. From unsettling real-world cases to the folklore that refuses to stay buried, the discussion moves through the shadows of both history and legend. Together, they dig into the question of what happens when eyewitness accounts, local myths, and unexplained encounters start to blur together—and why those stories stick with us long after we hear them. It’s part investigation, part storytelling, and part deep dive into the unknown. If you’re here for grounded cases, strange creatures, or the uneasy middle ground between fact and folklore, this one sits right in that zone. —————- https://open.spotify.com/show/5n87txpwvPUoU7yCA8K95u ———- Know more.

In 1980, Gina Renee Hall vanished after a night out in rural Virginia — a case that became the first in Virginia history to end in a murder conviction without a body ever being recovered. In this episode of Dead Air Files, we examine the investigation, the rumors, and the haunting questions still surrounding Gina Hall’s disappearance deep in Appalachia. True crime, lost history, and one of Virginia’s most chilling unsolved mysteries collide. ———- Book References https://www.amazon.com/Under-Trestle-Ron-Peterson-Jr-audiobook/dp/B07PVCYHCF https://www.amazon.com/Miraculous-Journey-Day-Made-Heaven/dp/1950241041 ————- Know more.

Ep. 43: Listener Round-Up Vol. 7

Tonight on Dead Air Files Listener Round-Up, we dive into real stories that blur the line between fear and the unexplained. One listener shares how a fascination with the paranormal led them into one of the most haunted locations they’ve ever encountered — a place filled with oppressive energy and chilling experiences they still can’t explain. We also hear a deeply unsettling account from a wildlife researcher whose time in the remote woods led to encounters that challenged everything they thought they understood about nature. And the final story… it’s the kind of experience that leaves you speechless and questioning what may truly exist beyond the veil. If you love paranormal podcasts, true ghost stories, cryptid encounters, haunted locations, Appalachian folklore, and unexplained mysteries, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. ———- Know more.

DAF. Ep. 42: Between Two Bridges, The legends of Radford Va

Exploring the shadowed heart of Appalachia, most people think they already know the hauntings of Radford, Virginia. One name always rises to the surface—St. Albans Sanatorium. Its reputation has traveled far beyond the region, becoming synonymous with fear, folklore, and the paranormal. But what if that’s only part of the story? In this episode of Dead Air Files, we step beyond the expected and uncover a deeper truth—Radford is haunted in more places than anyone talks about. Between Memorial Bridge and the towering Norfolk Southern Railroad Trestle, something lingers along the New River. Witnesses report whispers beneath the bridge, footsteps echoing through empty paths, and an overwhelming sense of being watched. And then there’s the figure by the water—a woman seen standing at the river’s edge at dusk. Silent. Motionless. Gone without a trace. This land carries the weight of the American Civil War, where troop movement and unrest once shaped the region. Many believe that energy never left. Shadow figures still move through the trees. Voices drift across the river. The past doesn’t just exist here—it presses in. And just beyond it all stands Glencoe Mansion. Quiet. Historic. Unassuming. Yet inside, reports tell of shifting objects, unexplained sounds, and a presence that refuses to be ignored. Some believe whatever haunts the riverbanks may be connected to what walks its halls. This investigation follows the pattern across these locations—bridges, water, and walls—revealing a network of activity that challenges everything people think they know about this town. Because Radford’s story isn’t centered in one building. It’s woven into the land itself. This isn’t just a ghost story. It’s a field investigation into the hidden hauntings of Appalachia—where the past still breathes… and sometimes, watches from the water’s edge. ———— Know more.
