Listener Chloe's Dead Letter starts out talking about the infamous Greyfriars Kirkyard. One of the earliest topics on the main show here at Astonishing Legends. It quickly transitions to her visit to the Edinburgh underground vaults and an unsettling experience she had there on a ghost tour.

HOUR ONE: 
We travel to the Antarctic – onto it, over it, and under it… and find some strange, and often terrifying things during the trip. (Antarctic Apparitions And Eerie Enigmas)===HOUR TWO: We are all familiar with humans' desire to fly. There are many legends about flying horses in various parts of the world, and they all have common characteristics that make them difficult to dismiss as only aviation dreams of the ancient people. Do some myths and legends reveal ancient people had sufficient technical knowledge to produce sophisticated flying machines? (Ancient Mechanical Flying Horses) *** A man in China claims to have been abducted by aliens not just once… not just twice… but three times. But will you believe his story after hearing the details? (Flying on an Alien's Back) *** There's an odd grave marker at Riverside Cemetery in Wahpeton, North Dakota – and an odd story that goes along with it. I'll tell you about the strange obelisk draped in rope and chains. (The Wahpeton Circus Grave) *** Those who walk along the wooded Hinds Road in Gadsden, Alabama should be wary, for there is a legend that residing there is a witch who sold her soul to the devil. (The Gadsden Witch of Alabama) *** You may think that a ghost referred to as ‘Humpty Doo' might be fun-loving and perhaps even a little goofy. However, Humpty Doo is an Australian slang term that means everything is being turned upside down...and, fittingly, it is also the name of the town where some bizarre poltergeist events took place.

This week on Astonishing Legends, we conclude our two-part exploration into the enigmatic disappearance of Ambrose Bierce. Last week, we chronicled his vibrant life and career, culminating in his mysterious 1913 journey into Mexico.  This week, we delve deeper, examining the turbulent backdrop of the Mexican Revolution and how it might have played a role in his vanishing. Was Bierce a casualty of the conflict, caught in the crossfire? Or, as some suggest, did he become a victim of Pancho Villa himself?  We explore these theories, considering his known disdain for aging and his fascination with unsolved mysteries, mirroring themes throughout his own macabre writings.  A missing letter and conflicting accounts spark questions about hidden agendas and the possibility of a meticulously planned exit.  While the Grand Canyon suicide theory persists, we weigh the evidence and consider alternative explanations, including the intriguing, if improbable, fringe theories involving crystal skulls and ancient ruins in the Paquimé region of Mexico.  Ultimately, we're left to ponder whether Bierce's disappearance was a carefully crafted narrative, a tragic accident, or something far more extraordinary.  Join us as we uncover the clues and confront the enduring puzzle of Bierce's final act.

For over a decade, you've been sending in your strange and unexplainable experiences.

Jeff and his wife encounter escalating paranormal activity in their new home, from mysterious noises to ghostly apparitions. The Astonishing Dead Letter Office - Where Your Stories Die to be Told

⚠️ Haunting Warning: This two-part series might just invite hauntings into your life, because it sure did for us! ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains subject matter that discusses graphic and disturbing content, including sexually explicit details of the entity's attacks, so please listen with caution. Prepare yourselves for a deeply chilling dive into one of the most harrowing cases of demonic possession and paranormal torment—the Smurl family haunting. In this episode, we recount the unimaginable horrors this family endured: physical assaults, terrifying manifestations, and relentless demonic oppression. Not only did this investigation stir up something dark for the Smurls, but it followed us home too.  In this episode, the final part of a two part series, we're coming to you straight from the swamp—literally! Dressed as Shrek and Fiona, we're setting the mood for spooky season. The Smurl family fought for their lives as they became trapped in a house possessed by a demon, with horrors escalating from eerie noises to full-blown attacks. The involvement of Ed and Lorraine Warren couldn't even drive the terror out overnight. Can you survive listening to their story?

In part 2 of our series on The Entity, we delve deeper into the story of The Entity and the horrific experiences of Doris Bither. We'll explore previously undisclosed details of her life and the paranormal phenomena witnessed in her home by a large team of researchers from UCLA, as told by the only person in the world who's been in touch with Bither's family, Javier Ortega. We'll examine the aftermath of the haunting, its profound effects on the Bither family, and the challenges they faced long after the initial investigation concluded. Going beyond the well-known narrative, we'll explore Doris's later years and the enduring psychological impact on her family. Astonishing Legends has always strived to be the ‘Podcast of Record' on the topics we cover, and this one is no different. Join us as we unravel the untold continuation of The Entity Haunting, seeking not just the truth of what happened but a deeper understanding of how the investigation into it may have done more harm than good. Visit our website for a lot more information on this episode.

You know how it goes—another day, another haunting! In this episode, things get seriously spooky as we dive deep into one of the most terrifying hauntings ever—The Smurl Family Possession! You've heard of haunted houses, but this demonic case from Pennsylvania is terrifying, malevolent and down right frightful. The Smurl Family was tormented by a dark, malevolent entity that took over their home, turning their lives into a nightmare filled with violent levitations, eerie whispers, and full-on attacks. The hauntings escalated and after blessings by the local priest proved insufficient, Janet Smurl sought the help of Ed and Lorraine Warren (yes, those Warrens from The Conjuring) to investigate. But even the famous demonologists couldn't guarantee safety in this possession saga that gets darker and more twisted by the minute. Will the Smurl family make it out of this haunting alive, or are they destined to battle demons forever? On a lighter side, we're also sharing some fun personal paranormal experiences, including our unplanned matching pajama moment (hello, one brain cell) and our witchy adventure at Deadwick's Emporium in Portsmouth, NH. From tea leaf readings by Jezmina, a Romani fortune-teller to creepy ghost tours of the town's haunted streets.

Description paragraph - Astonishing Legends finally tackles the infamous Entity haunting case from the 1970s, featuring an exclusive interview with researcher Xavier Ortega from GhostTheory.com. This is the story of Doris Bither, a single mother in Culver City, California, who was repeatedly assaulted by spectral entities in her home. Ortega shares new information from his interviews with Bither's sons, providing unprecedented insight into the family's experiences. For the first time, it's revealed that the paranormal activity began after Bither attempted to communicate with entities through Ouija board seances. Listeners will hear about strange phenomena witnessed by multiple observers, including apparitions, unexplained noises, and physical attacks. Scott, Forrest, and Xavier will share details of spectral assaults in Part 1 of this series that most folks haven't heard about. This is a deep dive into one of the most disturbing paranormal cases in American history, with new revelations that have never before shared publicly. Visit our website for a lot more information on this episode.

Send us a textI've pestered my husband to write a book on the legends, myths and rumors of small people around the world for decades. Every culture on the planet holds dear stories of a group of small people that have unrivaled engineering skills that work during the night and live underground or in caves to stay safe from larger humans. These legendary people, If treated with reverence and respect, are known to give away treasures, or point the way to veins of gold, or build vital infrastructure overnight. Maybe it's because I've always been on the short side, measuring about five foot two standing on my tippy toes, but I've always felt a connection to this lore and these mystical people. Let's get into it.A Great Article Is the PERFECT Place to StartI found a great article that feels like the perfect place to begin. From Eagle's Rest Park dot org, Don and Diane Wells write;"The Folklore and Legends of many Native American Tribes and indigenous people from other countries include the stories of the Little People. The Little People live in the woods and are often thought to be hairy-faced dwarfs. Some are no higher than your knee; others are smaller. They build houses in the rock structures under the trees, along streams and sometimes in the trees. They hide from anyone coming into the forest. In the legends of the old countries, they are called Fairies, Brownies, Gnomes, Goblins, Leprechauns, and Pixies to name just a few. Each Native American Tribe has their own name for them. To the Iroquois, they are called Jogahoh; to the Comanche, they are called Nunnupi and to the Cherokee, they are the Yunwi Tsundi."Show Sources and MaterialsDwarves and Gnomes and More, by Don and Diane Wells, for Eagle's Rest ParkLegend of the Tennessee Pygmies (and their tiny stone gravesStrange Tales of Captured Fairies, Gnomes, and Other Mysterious Little People, Mysterious Universe, B.

We travel to the Antarctic – onto it, over it, and under it… and find some strange, and often terrifying things during the trip. (Antarctic Apparitions And Eerie Enigmas)=HOUR TWO: We are all familiar with humans' desire to fly. There are many legends about flying horses in various parts of the world, and they all have common characteristics that make them difficult to dismiss as only aviation dreams of the ancient people. Do some myths and legends reveal ancient people had sufficient technical knowledge to produce sophisticated flying machines? (Ancient Mechanical Flying Horses) *** A man in China claims to have been abducted by aliens not just once… not just twice… but three times. But will you believe his story after hearing the details? (Flying on an Alien's Back) *** There's an odd grave marker at Riverside Cemetery in Wahpeton, North Dakota – and an odd story that goes along with it. I'll tell you about the strange obelisk draped in rope and chains. (The Wahpeton Circus Grave) *** Those who walk along the wooded Hinds Road in Gadsden, Alabama should be wary, for there is a legend that residing there is a witch who sold her soul to the devil. (The Gadsden Witch of Alabama) *** You may think that a ghost referred to as ‘Humpty Doo' might be fun-loving and perhaps even a little goofy. However, Humpty Doo is an Australian slang term that means everything is being turned upside down...and, fittingly, it is also the name of the town where some bizarre poltergeist events took place.

A year ago, a settlement was reached at the end of Aliens v. Ghosts, Part 2. Lando agreed not to say ghosts weren't real, if Mucci agreed not to say aliens weren't real. In a fit of rage, Mucci broke that settlement -- but he's glad he did, because it allowed OTR to have this incredible discussion with the cohosts of the Astonishing Legends podcast, Scott Philbrook and Forrest Burgess! Huy judges as Lando and Mucci go at it again, with Lando focusing on the recent disclosure before Congress, while Mucci focuses on the mental and spiritual benefits of believing in ghosts. Our guests offer some amazing insights into both aliens and ghosts, but do they have any opinion on which is more likely to exist than the other? Will their expert opinion sway Judge Huy one way or the other? Follow us on our socials: IG: @otr_debate Twitter: @OTRdebate FB: @otrdebate or on YouTube!

Simple life lesson, Rebels: If someone says " I spent a lot of my childhood in cemeteries", you KNOW you're in for an interesting conversation! Such was the case when I got to meet Brandon. Although(, as of yet,) he hasn't had immediate contact with any ghost, spirit, monster, or Amway salesman, he's still got plenty of spooky stories for you on his podcast. (I still wonder if George Strait has any ghost stories, even though all his exes live in Texas.) So, check out "Southern Gothic", learn a little, and get scared a bit more!

April Fools, suckers! Also, happy first night of Wrestlemania! The subject of this episode was voted on by our dear patrons. For this installment of The Swerve, I'm joined by Scott Philbrook & Forrest Burgess from Astonishing Legends to dive into the sinister dealings of that "extra special mongoose," Gef, the Talking Mongoose. Known on the Isle of Man as the "Dalby Spook," Gef first appeared as wrappings and knockings on the walls of the Irving family home at Doarlish Cashen in September of 1931. Before long, the knocks transformed into full sentences from a high pitched voice. Gef became the talk of the island, bringing investigators of all kinds to the island including Harry Price and Nandor Fodor, but what was Gef really? On this episode we dive into Gef's exploits and try to figure out if he truly was an "extra clever mongoose" or something else...

In this episode, we open the door to the Morrison Library as one of the hosts of Astonishing Legends, Forrest Burgess, joins me to talk about one of the lesser known influences on Jim, author Charles Fort. We talk about his “Book of the Damned,” Jim Morrison's poetry books, Jim's student films, and much more.You can find Astonishing Legends at astonishinglegends.com and wherever you get podcasts. You can find this podcast on Twitter @TheDoorsPod and on Facebook by searching Opening The Doors. If you have any questions, comments, are suggestions for guests, you can send an email to openingthedoorspod@gmail.com. I want to give special thanks to podcast consultant Jim Cherry who authored The Doors Examined and the Last Stage as well to Reed Barrickman of The Dirty Doors (@TheDirtyDoors on Twitter) for additional research and lastly the Mild Equator (mildequator.com). Music from this podcast was done by Cristian Cornejo of the Jimbo Tribute Band from South America (https://youtube.com/@cristiancornejo).

A heads up: This episode discusses sexual assault in the context of it being something that would get referenced in mid-2000s shows as a marker of being “edgy.” Also, there is a discussion of anal probing in the context of alien abduction, not to be funny but to try and understand why this is a concept that shows up on sitcoms.  “Roger 'n‘ Me” (April 23, 2006) As a follow-up to last week's Great Gazoo episode, we return to American Dad to try to explain why Roger the alien is such a successful character and, really, a likely reason why American Dad show succeeds. This is an early episode exploring Roger's relationship with Stan. And while the show suffers from being more like Family Guy than it would be even a year later, there is surprisingly nuance to the way the show deals with these two sharing what amounts to a sexual experience. Listen to our previous episode on American Dad. Listen to the episode of Monday Afternoon Movie about The UFO Incident, with special guest Scott Philbrook from Astonishing Legends.

Brian & Eric (and Jaime and Tess Pfeifle of Astonishing Legends) goof around for an hour live from their booth at ParaConn II in Ansonia, Connecticut. They discuss faith healer and exorcist Biff Saunders, hear ghost stories from convention goers, and cheer on any rad babies they see.

Astonishing Legends is all about fascinating and mysterious topics. And within that category, the details we cover can be unsettling or downright terrifying. But you may not realize that some of the most chilling and creepy accounts we've ever encountered have come from our listeners! We've received thousands of emails over our eight years of podcasting, and we appreciate and value every one of them. We realize that it takes no small amount of courage to send such personal anecdotes to strangers out in the world, becoming vulnerable to ridicule or scorn. So to honor that conviction and trust and show our tremendous gratitude to our audience, we're proud to present your scariest true stories in three parts. Also, because the Spooky Season is upon us, and most of us enjoy a frightening Halloween tale, what better time to hear about the weirdness of our world? So we invite you to settle in, lock your doors and windows, suspend any disbelief you might have, and enjoy these narratives as entertainment, evidence, or cautionary tales. However you choose to consume them, if the urge to publicly debunk strikes you, please respect that our storytellers insist these reports are genuine. They really did happen to someone. Remember that sometimes the most chilling thing you can see at the beginning of any work of horror fiction are the words, "Based on a true story." Visit our website for a lot more information on this episode.

We've finally reached the thrilling conclusion of Mel's Hole!  Today we pick up right where we left off, in Mel Water's 4th live interview on “Coast to Coast with Art Bell.”  In which, Mel talks about some strange redactions in TerraServer imagery of his property. And oh yeah, THERE'S ANOTHER HOLE! If you thought Mel's saga couldn't get any stranger... oh boy, were you wrong! We literally cannot put into words how weird this actually gets. You wanted a grande finale! If you just can't get enough of Mel's Hole, Astonishing Legends does great in deep dive into it! This week we shared a promo for Boos & Beetches & Booze!If you're enjoying our podcast, please consider leaving a rating & review on Apple Podcasts.

“THE HUMPTY-DOO POLTERGEIST” and More True Tales and Urban Legends! #WeirdDarknessClick here to find Weird Darkness in your favorite podcast app: https://linktr.ee/weirddarkness IN THIS EPISODE: You may think that a ghost referred to as ‘Humpty Doo' might be fun-loving and perhaps even a little goofy. However, Humpty Doo is an Australian slang term that means everything is being turned upside down...and, fittingly, it is also the name of the town where some bizarre poltergeist events took place. (The Humpty-Doo Poltergeist) *** 
We are all familiar with humans' desire to fly. There are many legends about flying horses in various parts of the world, and they all have common characteristics that make them difficult to dismiss as only aviation dreams of the ancient people. Do some myths and legends reveal ancient people had sufficient technical knowledge to produce sophisticated flying machines? (Ancient Mechanical Flying Horses) *** A man in China claims to have been abducted by aliens not just once… not just twice… but three times. But will you believe his story after hearing the details? (Flying on an Alien's Back) *** There's an odd grave marker at Riverside Cemetery in Wahpeton, North Dakota – and an odd story that goes along with it. I'll tell you about the strange obelisk draped in rope and chains. (The Wahpeton Circus Grave) *** Those who walk along the wooded Hinds Road in Gadsden, Alabama should be wary, for there is a legend that residing there is a witch who sold her soul to the devil.

On September 7, 1956, Thomas Hutchinson, a resident of Moneymore, Ireland, put a head lock on a miniature UFO that had landed on his property. Thomas attempted to escort the object to the police department, but after placing it on a bush, the object spun quickly and took off into the sky. Stories of miniature UFOs, like Thomas Hutchinson's are often brief, no matter the means employed to capture it. On this episodes I'm joined by Scott Philbrook & Forrest Burgess from Astonishing Legends to discuss stories of tiny UFOs, holes in roofs, an encounter in an Argentinian school room, and a pair of small objects that may have cause the disappearance of a Brazilian diamond prospector.
