Guilt Trip To Hell Dec 05, 2023

Show notes

If you’re a decent person with a conscience, feeling guilt over something can be all-consuming. Like a relentless storm, casting a shadow over your every thought and action. It’s a constant reminder of the choices you made. You either learn to live with it, or somehow make it right. But if you can’t… your guilt may haunt you to the end.

First, a deadly task

Then, the ghosts are calling

Finally in our last story, The famous, Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe

Sweet Revenge Nov 28, 2023

Show notes

Exacting your revenge on someone might feel good in the moment, like winning a game. It can make you happy in that instant, but it can also make you feel sick to your stomach later. Like a lingering ghost that constantly nags you, reminding you of the horrors you inflicted. In the end you might turn into the evil person you so hated. Begging the question, who will then seek revenge on you?

First, clean, pure, torture

Then, revenge is a dish best served in soup

Finally in our last story, a past full of secrets

Ghosts of War Nov 14, 2023

Show notes

We recently celebrated Veterans Day, a time to pay tribute to our courageous military veterans who have selflessly defended our nation. Despite their incredible bravery, it is undeniable that these veterans have witnessed a great deal of death, and with death often come haunting tales, filled with both fascination and terror. Today, we are delighted to bring you some of these accounts in one of our most popular podcast mini-series, "Ghosts of War, Part 4."

First, a call from the dead

Followed by the hauntings of Fort Monroe

Mannequins of the Macabre Oct 24, 2023

Show notes

We all have that one toy, doll, or stuffed animal that we were attached to as kids. The thing that could comfort us in our darkest times. But when we endow those items with so much power, it’s no wonder some of them use it against us. Some of our most precious items will turn on us, coming to life and bringing evil into our world. The problem is, you have no idea if the doll that lays beside you at night is a good one, or one that will haunt you forever.

First, horror caught on tape

Followed by the corpse bride

Then, evil emerald eyes

Finally in our featured story, a taste of terror

A House of Horrors Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

We are so drawn to haunted places because they offer a unique blend of fear and fascination. Erie locations allow us to confront our primal fears while also satisfying our intrigue about the mysteries of the area. It also makes them irresistible destinations for adrenaline seekers. But while some use these opportunities for entertainment, there are many who are scarred for life by what they encounter in a haunted place. That is if they’re lucky enough to survive it.

First, a deadly sight

Followed by a monster beneath the surface

Then, reflection or horrific reality?

Finally in our featured story, a headless horseman’s revenge

Friday the 13th! Oct 10, 2023

Show notes

We love that Friday the 13th falls in October this year, our spookiest month. Statistically this is actually very rare. As others are gearing up for playful movie nights and superstitious tradition, we know the truth. We must be on the lookout for the darker side of Friday the 13th. The date that calls for the supernatural to reveal itself. A date that can make rational humans go insane. A time when nefarious spirits come out to do their evil bidding. A night that can be so unlucky, it just might kill you.

First, the sins of my mother

Followed by a bad influence

Then, an unlucky rabbit’s foot

Finally in our featured story, a deadly past
