What the Fright Case File #2: Karen's Haunt

S3: E4 Work can weigh on any of us. When the days get heavy, when the things we see and carry start to stack up, it’s hard not to bring that weight home — in our minds, and sometimes in ways we can’t explain. Some folks leave their jobs at the door. Others … don’t get that choice. This is part two of Cameron’s story. We’re turning our attention to her mom, Karen — and to the question that’s been hanging in the air since What the Fright Case #2: why do the spirits seem so drawn to Karen. Cameron and Karen are still in the thick of their fright, and if y’all haven’t listened to Cameron’s story yet go back to Episode 2 and give it an ear. You’ll want that foundation before you hear what Karen has to say about the spirits that roam the halls of her workplace — and the ones that slip through the door behind her when she comes home. A special WTF to Cameron and Karen thank you for sharing your frights!

What the Fright Case File #1: Cameron's Fright

S3:E3 The darkness is a strange thing for a child.Most nights, a little night‑light is enough to keep the shadows where they belong. But what do you do when the light isn’t enough—when the shadows keep coming back, slipping across the wall like they’ve got a mind of their own? This is the story of Cameron; a listener submission that’ll make you think twice about those nights when your child wakes up screaming about the man in the doorway. Not a nightmare.Not a trick of the dark.Something else that kept coming back. Instagram: @southernfriedfrights Facebook: Southern Fried Frights southernfriedfrights@outlook.com YouTube: COMING SOON!

A Bigfoot Encounter in Canada's Boundary Waters

S3 E2: There are places on this continent where the world still feels untouched. Places where the water lies flat as glass, and the trees crowd in so close they swallow your sense of direction. The Boundary Waters is one of those places — a maze of lakes and portages stretching between Minnesota and Canada. During a ten‑day canoe trip in the summer of 1970, deep in the Boundary Waters wilderness, John — a Southern Fried Frights listener — came face‑to‑face with something he still struggles to explain. Out there among the black‑water lakes and endless pines, he encountered a creature we know today as Bigfoot.

Unraveling the Truth: The Steven Kubacki Story

S3: E1 In 1978, a 23‑year‑old college student named Steven Kubacki sets out on a solo cross‑country skiing trip near Lake Michigan. Two days later, search teams find his gear neatly placed at the edge of the ice, arranged like he stepped out of it on purpose. Footprints lead away from the gear and out onto the frozen lake… and then they just stop. No return tracks. No signs of a fall. No break in the ice. Just a clean line of prints that end in the middle of nowhere. Authorities say Steven must have fallen through the ice and drowned. But underneath that tidy explanation, there were details that didn’t sit right. There were undertones that hinted at something much bigger connected to Steven’s disappearance.

A Haunting in Drakes Ohio

S2 E:8 Drakes, Ohio, isn't the kind of town that makes headlines. It's quiet - the kind of place where everyone knows your name and the biggest excitement is Friday night football. But for one listener, it became the setting for something ...unexplainable. Thanks Scared Cat 62 for your story!
