Ep 113: HAUNTED: The Ratman of Southend – England's Creepiest Urban Legend

One freezing winter night, a homeless man entered a tunnel in Southend, England, looking for shelter from the cold. By morning, he was dead. What happened next gave birth to one of the town's most disturbing urban legends. For years, locals have shared stories of strange noises, shadowy figures, and a terrifying creature known only as the Ratman. Some say it's the ghost of a man who died a cruel death. Others believe it's something far more sinister lurking beneath the streets. In this episode, we explore the chilling legend of the Ratman of Southend, its dark origins, reported sightings, and the mystery that continues to haunt the Queensway Underpass to this day.

Ep 111: HAUNTED: The Haunted Dauphine Orleans Hotel

Just one block from the noise and lights of Bourbon Street stands the Dauphine Orleans Hotel. By day, it looks beautiful, with old brick walls, quiet courtyards, and historic charm. But at night, the hotel changes. The halls grow silent. The air feels heavy. Footsteps echo from empty rooms. Doors click shut when no one is there. And guests begin to feel something watching them from the dark.

Ep 110: HAUNTED: Don’t Open the Door: The Legend of the Black-Eyed Children

In a quiet corner of Vermont, after days of heavy snow, an elderly couple woke to a knock at their front door at nearly two in the morning. Outside, there were no cars. No footprints. No sign that anyone had crossed the untouched snow. But when they opened the door, two children stood on the porch—a boy and a girl in strange, old-fashioned clothes. They didn’t smile. They didn’t look up. They only asked to come inside and wait. And sometimes, the most terrifying thing you can do… is open the door. Listen to the episode to hear the full story.
