IN THIS EPISODE: H.H. Holmes allegedly killed as many as 200 people by luring visitors to his lair during the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. The 100 rooms of the house he built, were filled with trapdoors, gas chambers, staircases to nowhere, and a human-sized stove. But now, some historians say many of the gruesome stories about Doctor Holmes may be myth! (The Doctor And His Murder Castle) *** Michael Swango wa...

Something Is Doing Rounds In The Abandoned Hospital! | The Doctor (Fiction)
Paramedics might not admit it, but spend enough nights in an old, abandoned hospital, and even the toughest start believing in ghosts. *No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast* IN THIS EPISODE: Tonight it’s a story I found just a few days ago at Creepypasta.com called “The Doctor” by a talented new horror author who goes by the moniker TechniGoth (link below). Paramedics are trained to face life and death with calm precision, but what about the unseen forces lurking in the spaces between? In an abandoned hospital nestled deep in the woods, one rookie EMT learns the truth about the profession’s superstitions. Some say the dead don’t clock out, and tonight, she’ll discover just how true that is. This is a bit different than most stories I narrate, as the protagonist is a female – but rather than try to put on a false voice for her, I’ll just use my normal speaking voice for her character. I’m sure that will be the less-annoying way to go. But I’ll still try to create different voices for the rest of the characters as I come to them.

TERROR on the CREEK | The HAUNTING of GOATMAN’S BRIDGE
Between the Texas towns of Denton and Copper Canyon lies Goatman’s Bridge, a haunted relic steeped in sinister legends of lynching, black magic, and a red-eyed demon said to terrorize all who dare to cross. *No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast* IN THIS EPISODE: Legend has it that a brutal lynching and a series of Satanic rituals transformed Goatman’s Bridge in rural Texas into a paranormal hotspot. (The Haunting of Goatman’s Bridge) *** Over six decades later, the brutal, unsolved murders at Lake Bodom continues to haunt Finland... and beyond. (The Lake Bodom Murders) *** A man finds his neighbor laying in the snow, frozen solid – yet somehow she survives. I’ll tell you the miraculous story of Jean Hilliard! (The Hibernating Woman) *** We like to think that 21st Century medicine has brought us more into science and further away from superstition and magic – and that’s mostly true, for the Western World. But in South Africa they’ve not given up the chanting, the dancing, and in some cases… the sacrificing of human lives… all in the name of healing. (Muti Medicine: Ritual Human Sacrifice) *** For anyone who has used a ride-share service like Uber or Lyft, it’s probably happened to you at least once. You’re waiting on your ride to pick you up, you see a car coming your way and you think it’s there for you – only to find out a few seconds later that it’s not. One college girl had this same experience – only she got in to that wrong vehicle, and ended up being murdered for her mistake. (An Uber Mistake) *** The history of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin is wrapped up in Chicago’s wealthiest families having their summer homes there. But even as early as 1912, when people were writing about the city, they said the second most significant thing about this town was the sanitariums. (The Lake Geneva Sanitariums) *** Some old documents were found recently that tell the story of the first time in recorded history that someone was struck by a meteor!
