Don’t Leave the Trail: The Rules of the Appalachian Mountains, Part 1

Don’t Let Them In: Black Eyed Kids Encounters

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2603531/fan_mail/new] Two children knock at the door. They say they need help. They ask to use the phone. But something about them feels wrong before you even see their eyes. In this episode, we explore the unsettling phenomenon of Black Eyed Kids: strange children and teenagers with completely black eyes who appear at doors, in cars, in offices, in hotels, and on lonely roads, asking to be let inside. We look at the famous Brian Bethel encounter, earlier and lesser-known stories, and accounts from the United States, Europe, and Northern Ireland. Along the way, we ask why these stories so often involve fear, thresholds, invitations, and rules that feel strangely familiar from older folklore. Are they demons, aliens, fae, urban legend, or something else? Whatever the answer is, the warning stays the same: don’t let them in. New episodes released regularly.

They Drove Into Somewhere Else | Time Slips and Reality Glitches

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2603531/fan_mail/new] Some places feel like they do not entirely belong to the present. In this episode, we explore time slips, phantom roads, vanishing hotels, and strange encounters with places that seem to shift into another version of reality. From Versailles and Bold Street to impossible desert highways, missing photographs, and stories of people who briefly found themselves somewhere they could not explain, these accounts all share one eerie idea: sometimes the world around us may not be as fixed as it feels. This is a Backrooms-adjacent journey into liminal spaces, modern folklore, and the unsettling possibility that certain roads, buildings, and streets may open onto somewhere else.

Can You Slip Out of Reality? | The Backrooms, Liminal Spaces, and Thin Places

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2603531/fan_mail/new] The Backrooms began as internet horror: endless yellow rooms, damp carpet, fluorescent buzzing, and the terrifying idea that someone could slip out of reality and land somewhere they were never meant to be. But is that fear really new? In this episode, we explore the Backrooms as modern folklore — a digital-age version of much older stories about thin places, fairy mounds, haunted thresholds, time slips, caves, and other worlds hidden just beneath our own. From Gettysburg ghost stories to Saint Patrick’s Purgatory, King Herla, and real cave isolation experiments, we look at why certain places feel wrong, why time seems to bend underground, and why humans have always feared the spaces between worlds.

What’s Walking Through the Woods? | Bigfoot Encounters and Sasquatch Sightings

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2603531/fan_mail/new] Bigfoot stories have a way of lingering. In this episode, we follow a trail of encounters from the recent 2026 Ohio Bigfoot reports to older and more unsettling accounts, including Teddy Roosevelt’s famous Bauman story, the Siege of Ape Canyon, the Minerva Monster, Mount St. Helens rumors, and smaller personal experiences shared by witnesses. Some stories sound like folklore. Some sound like misidentification. Some are harder to dismiss. So what are people seeing in the woods — and why do these stories keep coming back? Join us in the attic as we explore Bigfoot encounters, Sasquatch sightings, and the strange space between legend, witness testimony, and the unexplained. New episodes released regularly.

This week, we explore paranormal encounters from the woods: a mysterious woman on a forest road, a haunted pond with something waiting in the dark, strange screams outside a tent, a possible Bigfoot encounter, a ghostly warning near a truck, night walkers, and even what may have been a portal in the trees. Some stories feel like ghost stories. Others feel like folklore, cryptid encounters, or glitches in reality. But they all share one thing: the feeling that, sometimes, the woods are not as empty as they seem. New episodes released regularly. Join Paranormal Mystery Author Terri Reid and researcher Andrew T.
