Why are the Appalachian Mountains SO Haunted? Cryptids, Ghosts, and UFOs Jun 23, 2025

Show notes

The Appalachian mountains might just be America’s paranormal heartland. After all it was on the settler wagon trail through Appalachia that so many myths and legends of American folklore were born — so were they really just stories or are they evidence of mysterious and terrifying paranormal cryptids that stalk the mountains to this day? On this episode Kit and Rory dive into the creatures, the folklore, and the phenomena of Appalachia to decide whether it’s a real paranormal hotspot or not!

#422 Canada’s Most SHOCKING True UFO Story - Charlie Red Star Jun 09, 2025

Show notes

Canada is big. So big in-fact that it’s easy to hide things there. Don’t believe me? Maple syrup wasn’t bottled and sold around the world until the 1950s — THAT’S how secret they can keep things. So as it turns out it’s a great place to be a UFO with wide, vast, open plains and mountain ranges to fly around without being spotted. Except in 1975 I guess one of those UFOs screwed up and visited Manitoba, where it became a kind of local celebrity known as ‘Charlie Red Star’. What follows is documented as one of the world’s most believable UFO sightings. But do Rory and Kit believe?… time to find out!

#421 Operation SAUCER: The Time Dozens of UFO’s Attacked Brazil Jun 03, 2025

Show notes

When we usually dive into a UFO case, it’s a miracle if we have even 1 reliable witness. Well, back in 1977 on the Brazilian island of Colares, UFO’s began attacking locals, hitting them with laser beams that paralysed them on the spot. And we don’t just have 1 witness, we have over 300...

Phantom of the Opera, The Curse of the Ninth, the play about a Scottish king that we mustn't mention by name — we’ve all heard the stories. Theaters are some of the most paranormal locations on earth, stalked by ghosts and curses. Is it the electric energy of the adoring crowds that seeps into the walls as an emotional memory? Or is it simply the misfortune of those who work in theaters and pass away that they’re doomed to wander the halls forever. What is it about theaters that causes them to be haunted or cursed? To find out Kit and Rory will investigate one of Australia’s most haunted locations of all — The Princess Theater in Melbourne!

#417 Did The Police OFFICIALLY Report A Ghost? - The St. Catharines Poltergeist May 06, 2025

Show notes

Usually in a Poltergeist case, we're lucky if we have two witnesses to rub together. But when Bob Crawford was called out to investigate a domestic disturbance in 1970 in Ontario, he had no idea he was going to stumble into one of the best documented poltergeist cases in Canadian history. Soon, the entire town would be gathered at 237 Church Street, and the residents inside would be fighting for their lives...
