Heidi Wyrick: The Little Girl Who Could Talk to Ghosts Dec 20, 2022

Show notes

Up until the late 1980s, the Wyricks were a normal family. They were tight-knit, loving and dealt with the standard worries of any young family. But all that changed when they moved into their first purchased home on Swint Loop in Harris County, Georgia. It was here that things began to spiral out of control when the couple's eldest daughter, Heidi, began speaking with imaginary friends and being haunted by a shadowy, mysterious figure who harmed the family and spread chaos. So just what exactly happened to the Wyrick family? And who was this cloaked figure? We aim to explore these questions and more as we examine the life, and hauntings, of Heidi Wyrick and her family.

Show notes

Would you be brave enough to sleep in a home knowing its floors were once covered in blood? Looking at many of these dwellings, you'd think they were perfectly ordinary houses. But digging a little deeper you will discover that inside these four walls, some of the most horrific crimes occurred, and that serial slayers once called these buildings 'home'. In today's video, we'll be exploring some normal-looking homes with disturbing backstories.

This Violent Poltergeist Case Will Have You Sleeping with The Lights on... Dec 08, 2022

Show notes

Tonight’s terrifying tale comes from the small market town of Pontefract, situated in West Yorkshire, England. Some of you may have heard this story, others may be new to the legend that is 30 East Drive, and to The Black Monk myth; an insidious entity that terrorised the young, innocent family who lived at the residence in the 1960’s. So, what happened inside the walls of this seemingly normal house during those care free years of Peace and Love? What nightmarish events occurred and tormented the Pritchard family so badly that they had to pack up and leave? Why has no one lived in this (now) famous house ever since? And what exactly is the malevolent phantom known as The Black Monk, who roams the hallways and bedrooms waiting to torment and terrorise its next victim?

The SHOCKING First & Last Flight of Richard 'Beebo' Russel... Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

On Friday 10th August 2018 there were plenty of news stories around the world making headlines, but in the maelstrom of the Trump presidency perhaps one of the biggest was something that happened in Seattle that despite being one of the strangest, scariest, most bizarre events of 2018 pretty much slipped under the radar especially outside of America.
In this video we look at the extraordinary events that led to one of the most serious domestic airline security breaches since 9/11. However it was not connected to a criminal plot or terrorist ideology. In fact when you hear the facts of the story it is hard not to feel sorry for the perpetrator who comes across as a nice guy.
Here is the incredible but disturbing story of Richard (Beebo) Russell.

The Ghosts That Followed Flight 401: A TERRIFYING Personal Listners Story... Nov 29, 2022

Show notes

The story in this video was sent in by Todd, who, between 1989 and 1994, worked on the ramp for Delta Airlines at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. During his time there, he worked on the haunted L1011 aircraft that used spare parts from Eastern airlines flight 401 that crashed on December 29th 1972. Just a bit of background on that crash; flight 401 was a scheduled flight from JFK, New York, to Miami; the crash happened after the cockpit crew were preoccupied with a burnt-out landing gear indicator light and failed to notice that the autopilot had inadvertently been disconnected; as a result, the aircraft gradually lost altitude and crashed into the Florida Everglades. Of the 176 passengers and crew onboard, 101 lost their lives.
In the aftermath of the crash, parts of the crashed aircraft were salvaged and refitted into other L-1011s. In the months and years following the crash, numerous stories began circulating about sightings of dead crew members sitting on board these aircraft, and here we have a first-hand account from Todd, who worked one of those L1011's.

SCARY Paranormal Stories & Encounters From The Most Haunted Village in England... Nov 24, 2022

Show notes

Pluckley is surrounded by beautiful countryside, orchards, and grazing sheep. No one would believe that the village has a much darker side, but with reports of terrifying shadow figures, sorrowful apparitions and strange sightings is it any wonder that Pluckley was once named in the Guinness Book of Records as the ‘most haunted village in Britain’. Decades ago the resident parish priest held a number of exorcisms around the village in the hope of ridding the place of its many paranormal incidents. It would appear that these attempts to cast out any of the manifestations didn’t work. Some of the tales told here are hundreds of years old, others much more recent. With local landmarks known as Fright Corner and Screaming Woods, here are just a few of the many spooky tales of the undead that have been recorded in the seemingly peaceful and picture-perfect village of Pluckley.
