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!

The Flatwoods Monster! | UFO Crash? Reptilian Alien? Mass Hysteria? Barn Owl? Government Coverup?
A group of children, their mother, and a teenage National Guardsman went looking for a crashed UFO on a West Virginia hillside in 1952 — and found something in the dark that nobody has been able to fully explain since. *No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast* IN THIS EPISODE: The early 1950s was a time of flying saucer mania, with reports coming in from all over on a regular basis – but one particular incident involving a UFO and then a monster sighting in Braxton County, West Virginia is one of the most intriguing and entertaining encounters on record.

Three Killers, One Prisoner, and a Ghost That Hadn't Rested in 850 Years

A U.S. Soldier Shot At A UFO During The Korean War — Then Everything Went Wrong | #WDRadio
SOMETHING SHOT BACK! | During the Korean War, an American soldier opened fire on a strange craft hovering over his regiment — and what happened next left an entire company of men hospitalized, and one man permanently changed for the rest of his life. | #WDRadio APRIL 05, 2026 ========== HOUR ONE: In 1882 the Ma’amtrasna murders, the brutal killing of several members of the Joyce family in rural Galway, caused outrage in Irish society and remains one of the most notorious homicides in Irish history. However a few years later Cork was rocked by an equally heinous case which has largely been forgotten. We’ll look at the brutal murders of four family members that took place in Castletownroche, Ireland. (The Castletownroche Murders) *** An Arizona family encounters a creature from the dark side of a Navajo legend. (The Arizona Skinwalker) *** John Blair liked to keep things “in the family”. But in his case, it wasn’t just a saying. It was literal. Because John was infamous for being bigamous. (Bigamous Blair) *** Dozens of Korean War GI’s claimed an unidentified flying object made them all sick. Theories range from high-tech Soviet death rays to extraterrestrials studying how we engage in battle to combat-stress-induced hallucinations. What actually happened? (The Korean War UFO) ========== HOUR TWO: In 1761, a young Frenchman died violently. This tragedy would lead to what is still one of that country's most famous cases of judicial injustice. Assuming, of course, that it truly was an injustice at all. (The Mysterious Death of Marc Antoine Calas) *** Most know them as “The Hidden Folk.” The elusive and magical residents of Iceland, who live inside rocks and sometimes play games with unsuspecting passers-by. Are they real? That’s a complicated question, if you ask Icelanders. (The Elves of Iceland) *** As two boys were walking back to the house on their farm, a small stone rolled past them. Then a second one. They immediately thought some other boys were hiding in the scrub and throwing stones for a joke. They couldn’t have been more wrong. (Stone Throwing Spirits) *** Belle Gunness lured numerous suitors to her Indiana farm. Not to entertain them or to be courted by them. She simply wanted to kill them in cold blood and dump their bodies in her hog pen. (Belle Gunness – The Black Widow of the Midwest) *** "They're going to steal your organs!" screamed Sabina Eriksson, before running toward oncoming traffic on the M6 highway, having already been hit head-on by a Volkswagen. Her twin sister, Ursula, legs crushed by the truck that had just run her over, was spitting and screaming at paramedics on the side of the road. Now, many years after these events, we’re still no closer to understanding the chaos that occurred over two days in 2008 involving psychotic twin sisters on a UK highway.
