Episode 265: Japan’s Mysterious Rock Ship, “Masuda Iwafune” Jul 08, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 265: Japan’s Mysterious Rock Ship, “Masuda Iwafune”. On today’s episode of Let’s Get Haunted, we journey to Japan’s ancient Asuka region to investigate the Masuda Iwafune: an enormous 700- to 800-ton granite monument whose purpose has baffled archaeologists for centuries. We explore the leading theories surrounding the so-called “Rock Ship of Masuda,” from unfinished royal tombs and astronomical observatories to water engineering projects and ritual monuments. Then, we venture into stranger territory, examining connections to Japanese legends of heavenly stone boats, the mysterious Utsuro-bune encounter, and ancient astronaut speculation. We even interviewed a tourist, Eddie, who hiked to the megalith and saw it firsthand! More than 1,300 years after it was carved into a hillside overlooking Nara Prefecture, the Masuda Iwafune remains one of Japan’s greatest unsolved archaeological mysteries.

Show notes

We're excited to introduce a special episode of That's Pretty Dark, featuring two of our favorite podcasters, Em and Christine from And That's Why We Drink.

Sleepwalking parents, Japanese folklore, and viral marketing campaigns… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark!

Join ‘90s kids Kayln and Christian (and two of their podcastin’ heroes) as they turn up the horror dial with a millennial classic that shaped the genre as we now know it.

Joined by Em and Christine from And That's Why We Drink, Em brings the FASCINATING history of chain letters, while Christine shares childhood nightmares that prevent her from watching horror movies to this day, and your Ghost Hosts guide you through the film’s production history and cyclical Japanese ghost stories that inspired it.

Though it wasn’t made for children, many of us caught The Ring early in life…. and if you want to heal that “TV trauma,” listen and forward this episode to 10 friends!

Or else.

Episode 264: The Dark Web Jul 01, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 264 of Let’s Get Haunted! In 1991, the world wide web became readily available for public access. The internet was born. The net was a concept on a scale of which nobody could fathom… it was supposed to make the world feel smaller, more connected, more available. Instead, it created places no one can fully map. Hidden beneath the websites we scroll every day is another layer. Anonymous marketplaces. Cult forums. Hitman scams. Missing people. Government leaks. Red rooms that may or may not exist. A digital underworld built on secrecy, paranoia, and fear. Today on LGH, we’re descending into the dark web– The myths, the crimes, and the psychological horror of a space where identity dissolves and curiosity can become dangerous very quickly. So dim your screen, lock your doors, and maybe don’t click any strange links after this episode.

TW: This episode will feature murder, abuse, torture, SA, and descriptions of mental illness which some listeners may find disturbing, listener discretion is advised.

Episode 263: The Ozark Spooklight Jun 24, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 263: The Ozark Spooklight. Near the Oklahoma-Missouri border, there is a stretch of approximately 4 miles of isolated countryside known as the Devil’s Promenade. Within the Devil’s Promenade, there are sightings of shadow people, witches, spirits masquerading as animals, and creepy rundown houses hiding the smell of decay. At the end of East 50 Road in the Devil’s Promenade, a paranormal light phenomenon can be seen dancing and playing, as if it is alive. Some say the light has been there since at least the 1800s, others swear they didn’t start seeing it until the 1920s. While its origins remain unclear, the light became so famous that over time it turned into a teenage right of passage: take your date to “Spook Light Road” for a chance to be chased by something supernatural. The strangest part of all? You can still go see it there today between the hours of 10pm and 12am. On today’s episode of Let’s Get Haunted, we’ll be unravelling the history and mystery of the Ozark Spooklight, reading firsthand witness accounts, and theorizing what exactly the fiery orange orb might really be. Is it a ghost, a cryptid, a portal, or something else entirely? Join us to find out now!

Episode 262: Pregnancy Folklore & Superstitions Around The World Jun 17, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 262: Pregnancy Folklore & Superstitions Around The World! Across history, pregnancy was treated less like a medical condition and more like a supernatural vulnerability. The old beliefs of Appalachia insist that laboring women shouldn’t look outside at night, seek their reflection in a mirror, speak certain names, or even leave clothes hanging outside… because “things” could follow them home after birth. In parts of Eastern Europe, women were considered spiritually “open” after birth. Demons or witches could enter newly opened bodies. Iron and scissors were placed under beds for protection from the evil eye. Jewish postpartum beliefs included hanging amulets near laboring mothers to ward off Lilith from entering through windows at night to steal infants from mothers. Across Scandinavian and Celtic folklore, changelings were of major concern. The fae could steal newborns and replace them with sickly copies. Across the globe, pregnant women were thought to exist in a dangerous liminal state between worlds. Some cultures treated birth as a demonic vulnerability. Others treated it as a profound spiritual power. A woman in labor was believed to stand between worlds. Join us this week as Nat & Aly sample haunted pregnancy rituals and beliefs from around the world!

Episode 261: The Miami Mall Incident, What Really Happened? Jun 10, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 261: The Miami Mall Incident. On New Year’s Day 2024, an overwhelming police response at Miami’s Bayside Marketplace sparked viral panic, with witnesses taking to social media to claim everything from an active shooter to a portal opening and shadowy beings emerging from it in the middle of the mall. As videos flooded social media and official explanations struggled to keep up, the story quickly spiraled into a mix of conspiracy theories, alleged cover-ups, and paranormal speculation. In this episode of Let’s Get Haunted, Aly and Nat break down what really happened that night, from reports of fighting teens with fireworks and sticks to claims of aliens, Project Blue Beam, clout chasers, and even…ghosts in Greenland?? Was this mass hysteria fueled by dumb teenage decisions or did aliens really visit the 305 on January 1, 2024? Dale.

Episode 260: Iceland’s Strangest True Crime Mystery (The Disappearance of Guðmundur and Geirfinnur) May 27, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 260 of Let's Get Haunted: Iceland's Strangest True Crime Mystery! Two men vanished into the Icelandic winter without a trace. No bodies. No crime scenes. No forensic evidence. And yet six people would eventually confess to murders they may never have committed???? This week, we’re diving into the infamous Guðmundur and Geirfinnur case, better known as The Reykjavik Confessions AKA Iceland’s most disturbing and controversial criminal investigation. What began as two mysterious disappearances in 1974 spiraled into a nightmare of isolation cells, psychological manipulation, alleged coerced confessions, and a national obsession that destroyed lives. Under immense pressure to solve the case, Icelandic police subjected suspects to hundreds of hours of interrogation, prolonged solitary confinement, sleep deprivation, and heavy sedation. Some prisoners became so psychologically broken they no longer trusted their own memories. Decades later, many Icelanders came to believe the confessions were entirely false — and in 2018, five of the six convictions were finally overturned by Iceland’s Supreme Court! Was there ever a killer at all? Or did an entire country slowly convince itself a murder had happened? Today on Let’s Get Haunted, we are picking apart the strange disappearance of GUDMUNDER and GEIRFINNUR and delving into the most haunted theories… then we will hear from a local who has received some insight from otherworldly sources??

Episode 259: America's Missing & Murdered Scientists May 20, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 259: America’s Missing & Murdered Scientists. Why do so many U.S. scientists associated with UFOs, anti-gravity propulsion, and nuclear weaponry keep ending up missing or deceased over the past 4 years? Is it all a coincidence or is something more sinister at play? On this week’s episode of Let’s Get Haunted, we go over the circumstances surrounding the disappearances of Monica Reza, Melissa Casias, Steven Garcia, Anthony Chavez, and William Neil McCasland. Then, we discuss the suspicious deaths of Frank Maiwald, Michael Hicks, Nuno Loureiro, Carl Grillmair, Jason Thomas, Amy Eskridge, Joshua LeBlanc, and Matthew Sullivan. Finally, we examine other countries who’ve experienced similar clusters of missing and murdered scientists over the years, including: China, Iran, the U.K., Germany, and Russia. Are these clusters simply a statistical certainty that only looks suspicious when viewed through the lens of conspiracy? Or does someone - or something - not want the world’s best and brightest innovators looking too closely into alternative energy sources?
