Descripción

We’re diving deep into America’s deadliest aviation disaster and the absolutely wild paranormal activity that started within HOURS of the crash. I’m talking about American Airlines Flight 191, the DC-10 that fell from the sky at Chicago O’Hare on May 25, 1979, killing 273 people in thirty-one seconds of pure hell. But here’s where it gets really messed up: the passengers never left. We’ve got phantom knocking on doors, ghostly figures reeking of aviation fuel asking for help, mysterious radar blips of planes that don’t exist, and a warning voice that’s been helping air traffic controllers prevent disasters for decades. Airport employees are seeing passengers in outdated clothes trying to catch flights that will never take off, and residents near the crash site are dealing with security systems going haywire because spirits keep opening doors that aren’t there. This isn’t your typical ghost story - this is 270+ souls who were interrupted mid-journey and are still trying to get home. From the maintenance fuck-up that caused the disaster to the ongoing hauntings that’ll make you think twice about flying through O’Hare, we’re covering it all. Trust me, don't listen to this if you are about to step onto a plane.  References & Resources Primary Sources: - National Transportation Safety Board Final Report: American Airlines Flight 191 (December 21, 1979) - Chicago Tribune archives and victim profiles (1979-2024) - American Hauntings Investigation records - Aviation Safety Network crash database Paranormal Documentation: - Haunted Places directory: American Flight 191 Crash Site - Aviation employee forum testimonials (anonymous sources) - Mobile home park resident accounts (1979-2010s) - Air traffic controller unofficial reports Historical Context: - McDonnell Douglas DC-10 maintenance records and procedures - Federal Aviation Administration investigation files - O’Hare International Airport expansion documentation Additional Reading: - “Ghosts of Flight 191” - American Hauntings archives - Aviation maintenance safety protocols post-1979 - Electromagnetic field studies of crash sites - Trauma psychology and collective memory research *Note: Many paranormal accounts come from unofficial sources due to airline industry policies regarding supernatural reports.

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.

52: Ep. 52 On Location at Shaker Cigar Bar, Podcast Birthday Special

One year ago, Creepy Shit was just an idea. Today, we're on Location! To mark one full year of this podcast. Im sitting inside one of America's Most Haunted bars - Shaker's Cigar Bar in Milwaukee, WI - with a man who has owned and breathed this building since the 1980's, Bob Weiss And this place has layers, boo We're talking a building built on top of a cemetery. A prohibition-era speakeasy and brothel run by the Capone brothers. A sixteen year old girl named Molly Brennan who never made it out of the third floor. Human Bones found inside the wallsduring a 2001 renovation. Documented paranormal residents and a barstool that Jefferey Dahmer used to call his.  Bob has spent nearly 40 years inside this building. In this episode, he walks us through all of it - the documented history, the unexplainable reports, and the personal experiences he's had.  This is the episode I've been working toward since day one. I hope it hits you the way it hit me. Time to press play
