016 – The Dullahan Mar 05, 2020

Show notes

The Bob After Dark team return from C2E2 and share some fun experiences. Also, with it being March, the boys are kicking off Fae Lore Month. The first creature of the Fae origins is the embodiment of death, The Dullahan. This being is quite scary, and could be some of the earliest know personification of Death we know of. The Dullahan is half man-half horse creature that is said to race around and harbor souls to the after-life. This is not your typical Fae. The Dullahan is very much dangerous entity that is said to bring chaos wherever it goes.

Show notes

Have you ever wanted so badly you would risk it all? What if we were to tell you there was a way you can get anything you wanted? Money, power, love, or even revenge. Well, there is a test. All you have to do is take a trip down a road. It is an eleven-mile trip that will test you. We are wrapping up Creepy Pasta month with a ritual story about the Eleven Mile road. Bob reads the story word for word, and asks you what you are willing to do get what you want. Each mile on this road has a certain challenge, and each one is more dangerous than the last. This is one episode we want you to really think…is it worth it?

014 – Cursed Images Feb 19, 2020

Show notes

You hear this spooky story online of these images. You hear that if you see them, that they can be cursed, leaving you with some really bad luck. Eh, it’s just a photo. You download it, and staring you in the face is is REALLY off putting photos. After a moment, you hear a noise from behind you…then the rest you can figure out. For Creepy Pasta Month, we look at three creepy image stories: Mario, Smiling Dog, and Have You Seen this Man? We even look at the famous story of the cursed painting that can cause house fires. Can images have supernatural abilities?

013 – Robert The Doll Feb 13, 2020

Show notes

Creepy Pasta Month is full affect! What could the topic be? Dolls…it just had to be dolls. Minus a certain Raggedy Ann doll, this particular subject is probably the most famous of all haunted dolls. Meet Robert. The sailor dressed doll who lives in a glass case in Key West Florida. Robert’s origin is explained in this episode, and we look at his current wereabouts. Robert gets letters from all over the world, explaining that people are sorry for taking his photo without permission as bad luck as fallen onto them. Robert is an entity that deeply scares Bob, so we get to hear him squirm in this episode.

012 – The Spooky Truth Behind Slender Man Feb 06, 2020

Show notes

In the year 2012, the world became infatuated with a modern day mythology figure known as The Slender Man. A tall male humanoid, dawning a suit and tie, and having no face. Stories vary if he has tentacles coming from him or not. Regardless of the stories, Slender Man has one MO, his desire to stalk and devour children. During this time, a lot photo shopped images emerged of Slender at playgrounds stalking children. However scary he might be, he is created entirely in fiction. Slender Man was created in the Something Awful forums by one, Eric Knudsen, in the year 2009 during a create a new monster post. Little did Eric know that this creature would become a huge influence in pop cultural, spawning video games and movies.

In the year 1817, a family had run into some bad luck with some sort of entity. This entity was said to torment the daughter, kill the father, and come back every generation or so to torment the family. This family’s last name was Bell, and this entity would be come to known as The Bell Witch. This is one of Bob’s favorite paranormal stories of all time, and we look at what could have exactly went on at that farm.

The Bob After Dark team answers a challenge issued to them from their friends at the Ghostly Podcast. They were challenged to talk about an old Chicago legend, The Devil Baby of Hull House. Join them as they look at the facts of the story and try to learn the weird history of it. This was a major news frenzy story of its time. Word got out that there could be some sort of demon baby being harbored at the Hull House, and there was a constant barrage of news articles being written about it. This was one of the first time we see the paranormal making it into main news sources.
