Show notes

What starts off as a cry for help in someone's dream quickly becomes a possible nightmare, in a situation brought to us via the magic of Instagram. It's hard to explain this one, so you're just going to have to listen to find out. From there we answer a handful of listener emails before welcoming author & illustrator Mike Bass, whose new release "Frightful Folklore of North America: Illustrated Folk Horror from Greenland to the Panama Canal" is Paul's must-own book of the year.

Our musical guest on this episode is Signal Static, with their latest single, "Cancel Me"

When the moon hits your eye like a big haunted guy, that's amore, or at the very least it's an episode where the stories take us from Bangladesh to Singapore to the rural USA and parts unknown. Whether it's spectral ladies on the water, a creature atop a hydroelectric dam, or a surprise in someone's bed, there's one common denominator: every story takes place under a haunted moon

The first in our two-part series about haunting in prisons! We have a number of stories from North America, plus an exclusive look at the haunting of the Lima Sheraton in Lima, Peru, former site of the infamous prison known as El Panoptico. When it comes to ghost stories, there's regular old dark, then there's lock-up dark, and the only thing scarier than some of the horrific true crime cases we touch on in this episode is our pronunciation of Spanish.
