It shocked the area surrounding the have folk who practice Pennsylvania Dutch folk magick, and it got media attention all over the world. Fast forward to modern day. Meet film maker Shane Free with Freestyle Media. He made a documentary that you can watch right now on Amazon called Hex Hollow: Witchcraft and Murder in Pennsylvania.

Show notes

What's your favorite scary movie Children of the Night? Well, for us that is a tough question to answer. For our guest for this episode? Near impossible. Ivotres Littles is a Youtuber, and online personality known for her show, "Horror Movies and Beyond." A show, that I'm sure you can guess, is about horror movies. The spooky film genre is tied in with what we do in the paranormal extensively, and it is nice to tie it back in to what we do. Ivotres is a wonder personality that knows it all when it comes to the silver screen, and able to tie the spooky movies into lore that we talk about weekly on here. This week, we talk about films about dolls. Horror movies that are based on real life paranormal investigations such as, "The Conjuring" and how that will effect the paranormal world at large.

Sam is a spooky artist who does work for tarot cards, and various other projects. She also is the creator of the animated show S.A.L.E.M and despite her not being allowed to talk about much do moves being made on the legal front with the show, she was able to share quite a bit.

085 – GhastBashers and The Tengu Aug 28, 2021

Show notes

This week on Bob After Dark, we interview someone a little different than what we are used to on the show. Meet Anthony "LibrarianNPC" DeMinico. Anthony is the creator of the RPG Game "GhastBashers" a game where you play a character you create that hunts paranormal entities. We have never talked about a RPG before, and for those whose are unaware, a RPG is a game where you play a game how you want in any style you want as a character you create. A roleplaying experience. The theme of the game meets Supernatural, Ghostbusters, SCP, and X-Files, and we couldn't let that go untalked about! Also, for the lore of the week we talk about the Tengu. A Japanese Yokai, or Deity, that is half man half bird. This creature is not one to be messed with. A master of martial arts, and combat.

084 – Salt Lake City Aug 22, 2021

Show notes

Salt Lake City may have several mental images that come to mind when you think of it. Perhaps the scenic landscapes, or the former home of the Winter Olympics. Well, since it is the topic of this week's episode, you may have already guessed it has a spooky side to it as well. Salt Lake City is home to several haunted locations, and even a Bigfoot sighting as well.

083 – Resurrection Mary Aug 16, 2021

Show notes

Stop me if you heard this one before. You're driving at night, when you see a young lady on the side of the road walking. She's wearing a white dress, and typically has blonde hair. You pull over, being the good person you are, and offer her a ride. She has you drive over to where she lives, only to find out it is a cemetery. You turn to ask if this is a joke, only to see she disappears. Now, this story is a classic troupe of the vanishing hitch hiker in ghost stories. However, in the south suburbs of Chicago, you can find that same story with a girl named Mary. Mary is known to haunt Archer Ave in Justice, Illinois. Specifically right around around the area of Resurrection Cemetery.

082 – The Fresno Nightcrawler Aug 01, 2021

Show notes

The city of Fresno is known for a couple of things. The Forestiere Underground Gardens, the Fresno Chaffee Zoo, and the Fresno Blossom Trail. However, Fresno is also home to one of the goofiest cryptid sightings of all time. Imagine a pair of jeans just sort of walking across your lawn...and that is it. Well, the pants have a name...and that is the Fresno Nightcrawler. As silly and unthreatening as this maybe, it has won the hearts of many a paranormal fan. This week, find out why the Nightcrawler has become one of Panek's favorite paranormal stories.

081 – The Great Lakes Jul 16, 2021

Show notes

There are 5 Great Lakes of America: Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. From a natural stand point, these Lakes form some of the most breath taking sights North America has to offer. Like a lot of locations in the world, there is some high strangeness that goes on as well. Dating back to the Native tribes of North America, there are stories of the Mishibizhiw, or the Under Water Panther, that is said to be guarding sacred copper deposits, and the Great Horned serpent that is said to be a dangerous entity. Modern day, we have stories about the Lake Michigan Triangle, and the ghosts ships that sail along the lakes. Enjoy your summer trying to swim in them!

080 – The SCP Foundation Jul 11, 2021

Show notes

Secure. Contain. Protect. The SCP Foundation is a community based horror fiction series. It is a combination of Warehouse 13, X-Files, and Supernatural. The Foundation is responsible of containing and researching anomalous creatures, objects, and ideas that can cause issues within humanity. These can be as simple as a strange video tape, or more nefarious God-Like entitles that can cause the end of the world scenario. They are classified as: Safe, Euclid, and Keter. This week, Bob has two special guests on the show. Josh Shockley, a Master's Degree student specializing in 19th Century literature. Also, Sarge Pepper, Panel Director of Ohayo-Con, and swiss army knife of nerdom. These two have a collective knowledge of SCP Lore, and both have experience streaming games, so these are two very qualified guests. Each guest highlight a specific SCP case file. Josh talks about SCP-701, a play that when performed causes the audience and performers to go mad. Sarge discusses SCP-093 a mirror that transports personnel to alternative dimensions. Bob talks about SCP-106 an old deformed man that spits out corrosive material, and hunts people down to transport to a pocket dimension, and kills. During the discussions, other SCP lore is discussed, and it really is a good introduction to learning more about the community at large. This is one episode you won't want to miss.

079 – Whitewater Wisconsin aka Second Salem Jul 05, 2021

Show notes

Twenty minutes west of Elk Horn, you know, where the Beast of Bray Road is said to reside...there is lies a town called Whitewater. Whitewater is your typical quiet quaint town. If you go on a Sunday, it is a near ghost town. The downtown district is one that is very postcard worthy. Lots of small businesses, and parks. Not some place you would expect to be a hotbed for the paranormal. Once upon a time ago, the city was known for being one of the birth places of the Spiritualism movement, and thus got a reputation for being a witch haven. There are several stories that go into the history of the town: An old water tower known for witches gathering, three cemeteries that form a perfect triangle, and a haunted college campus. It also is home to a brewery known as Second Salem Brewery that serves up paranormal themed beers. More to come on that. The boys talk about this town this week.
