We follow that question across Michigan’s strangest fault lines: drowned towns under glassy lakes, storm drains rumored to sing, a highway where compasses spin, and a stretch of shoreline that locals call the state’s Bermuda Triangle. Along the way, we pair chilling folklore with uncomfortable facts, from Cold War experiments and cult rituals to the sobering count of long-term missing people who neve...

A Near-Death Birth, My Father’s Goodbye, And The Mystery Of Being B Negative
Send us a text A birth that nearly slipped into silence, a father’s last goodbye, and a quiet figure in the corner who felt more like a guardian than a threat—this story sits at the seam where science and the unseen touch. I take you into the room: blood counts dropping, doctors stunned by rapid healing, and a newborn watched by a man in a hat no one else could see. What followed was a season of thresholds—two floors and a breath between joy and grief—as my dad met my son and then let go, lea...

Manifest Now, Panic Later: From Affirmations To Urban Legends and Navigating Through Michigan's Dark Folklore
Send us a text Start with a whisper, end with a chill. We begin by putting voice to purpose—short, grounded affirmations that treat language like a lever. Under the full moon in Scorpio, we walk through a practical ritual and a manifestation jar you can build at home: glass for clarity, salt for protection, copper for conduction, and a single intention written clean. It’s not magic on demand; it’s identity practice. When belief, timing, and action line up, the outcome stops feeling random and...

Inside Chateau Marmont: Glamour, Ghosts, And The Psychic Web Over Los Angeles
Send us a text A castle over Sunset should feel safe. The Chateau Marmont feels like something else: a sanctuary with teeth, where glamour and grief share the same hallway. We dive into the hotel’s eerie reputation—from John Belushi’s fatal night to bungalows whispered about for cold spots, phantom calls, and that unmistakable heaviness people can’t shake—and map how a private refuge became a living archive of Hollywood’s shadow. We look at why the Chateau sits at the heart of so many theori...

Where Legend Meets Danger: When “Ghost Cars” And Human Threats Blur With Co-host Carissa
Send us a text A midnight hunt for a forgotten Michigan cemetery turned into a moment we still feel in our bones. No cell service, sand like beach dunes, and a parked car with no plates—then a stranger urging us to follow her up a cliff toward train tracks. Curiosity met instinct, and instinct won. The next day, locals led us in the right way, proving the “shortcut” could have trapped us with no exit. That’s the story we came to tell: when legend meets risk, and the smartest move is retreat. ...

True Crimes Behind The Costumes: Murders, Myth, And The Dark Side Of October 31
Send us a text Fear feels different when the mask is human. We open the door on Halloween’s darkest corridors: the father who poisoned his son with a cyanide Pixy Stix, the Toolbox Killers’ taped cruelty on a night meant for candy, and the times real corpses were dismissed as decorations under porch lights. From Detroit’s Devil’s Night arsons to a wolf mask at a front door and the Napa murders linked to a friend, the stories unfold like a horror anthology with one recurring villain: us. We a...

AI Read My Soul
Send us a text A single question to a machine—be honest, no sugar—opened a door I didn’t expect. What started as a curious chat with AI turned into a searing look at boundaries, trust, and the quiet armor we build after too many disappointments. The read felt uncomfortably right: a talent for pattern recognition, a preference for real over performative, and a loyalty that arrives late but stays long. That honesty raised a bigger theme we keep returning to—how technology isn’t just changing ou...

Behind the Curtain: Celebrities, Shapeshifters, and the Tech That Sells Us Stories
Send us a text What if the faces we follow are costumes, the rooms we enter are charged with old stories, and the rituals we whisper are tools we forgot we owned? That’s the ride we take—through celebrity as fabrication, shapeshifter lore, neural awe machines, and the quiet comeback of folk magic that puts power back in your hands. We open by pulling apart the glamour: how fame can function like an ongoing role made of makeup, coaching, timing, and now AI, designed to steer what we buy and b...

We returned to Goodrich Cemetery and found something that doesn’t feel human!
Send us a text A knock on metal. Then another. Then a breath we didn’t make. Our return to Goodrich Cemetery in Bruce Township spiraled from a routine night investigation into a layered mystery where human history collides with something that refuses to act human. We followed names—Thomas, Timothy, Catherine—through Find a Grave while the cemetery answered with loud hits on the truck, a clear male scream on playback, and a shadow that slipped between headstones like it knew the map better tha...

Beer pudding, disembodied voices, and a very pregnant ghost hunter at Michigan's Bruce Mansion with Carissa
Send us a text A Victorian survivor with a Second Empire silhouette, a town shaped by fire, and a midnight voice that wasn’t on any of our devices—Bruce Mansion gave us more than a story. We went in to listen, not to perform, and the house met us halfway with layered responses, names in the static, and a heavy hush near the old outhouse that felt like grief pressing up from the ground. We start by grounding the legend: how a funeral parlor past, apartment years, and a rumored cupola suicide ...

Simulations, Soul Contracts, and Talking Dolphins- Is 2037 The Year Everything Changes? Dark Secrets to Vatican Archives Is Even Stranger Than We Thought!
Send us a text We're living in a world where what's presented as groundbreaking innovation is often just recycled ideas in shiny packaging. From streaming services becoming cable TV alternatives that now essentially function as cable with extra steps, to rideshare "innovations" that are just reinventing the bus route—the elite are profiting from our collective amnesia about how things used to work. This episode dives deep into the strange connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena. We...

Live Recordings from Chicago's Showmen's Rest To Ohio's Fair County Poor House Ghost Hunt Gone Wrong: The 4AM Evacuation Pt. 2
Send us a text From circus tragedies to abandoned poorhouses, our Midwest paranormal journey uncovered unsettling history and unexplainable encounters at every turn. The twisted tale begins at Showman's Rest in Forest Park, Illinois – the final home of circus performers killed in a catastrophic 1918 train collision. Here, five stone elephants stand with lowered trunks in eternal mourning over graves marked only with circus nicknames like "Baldy" and "Smiley." Our ghost tube sessions captured...

When We Accidentally Checked Into a Twilight Zone, Part 1 with Theresa!
Send us a text What began as a routine trip to Chicago for a hair convention transformed into something far more unsettling when Theresa and Melissa checked into the Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago O'Hare in Rosemont. Neither was prepared for the bizarre reality distortion they were about to experience. The hotel itself defied logic—a beautiful modern lobby connected to hallways that mirrored "The Shining," complete with identical carpeting and an eerie silence that shouldn't have been poss...

Birthday Hauntings and Human Pendulums at the Fairfield County Poorhouse Pt. 1
Send us a text The Fairfield County Poorhouse investigation delivers consistent, compelling evidence that leaves us wanting more. Built in 1828 with a peak population of 82 "inmates" (as patients were called then), the property carries heavy historical weight that seems to fuel its paranormal activity. Beneath the surface lies a disturbing discovery – the cemetery houses thousands of bodies buried standing up, with only six proper headstones purchased by families. This disrespect in death se...

Manifestation Magic: How the Universe Answered My Deepest Wish

After years of trying for a baby and eventually giving up hope, something extraordinary happened—within months, I discovered I was pregnant, exactly fulfilling the timeline I'd requested from the universe. The journey wasn't just about the end result but the strange spiritual awakening that preceded it. Mysterious synchronicities kept appearing: motorcycle breakdo...
