Tonight on Phantoms & Monsters Radio, we return to the Garden State for a rebuilt and expanded presentation: UNEXPLAINED NEW JERSEY.New Jersey is famous for the Jersey Devil and the Pine Barrens, but the state's unexplained history reaches far beyond one legendary creature. In this episode, we examine reports of a Dogman or Wolfman-like creature near Manchester, UFO and orb activity in Cumberland County, the controversial Fort Dix/McGuire AFB alien body retrieval claim, a winged humanoid at the Old Essex County Jail in Newark, possible Bigfoot activity in Belleplain State Forest, a terrifying Black-Eyed Kids encounter in Atlantic City, a Fairview UFO abduction account, and the bizarre Musconetcong River Mantis Man.These reports suggest that New Jersey may be a concentrated zone of overlapping phenomena, including cryptids, UFOs, humanoids, dimensional anomalies, and high-strangeness encounters.Please like, share, comment, and subscribe to Phantoms & Monsters Radio for more eyewitness accounts, investigations, and unexplained case files.

What would you do if a child knocked on your door in the middle of the night… and something about them felt wrong? In this episode of The Midnight Syndicate Podcast, we explore one of the most disturbing modern paranormal phenomena to emerge in recent decades: the Black Eyed Kids. Described as pale, emotionless children with completely black eyes, these entities have been reported across the United States and beyond—always appearing in unexpected places, always asking for help… and always needing permission to enter. From the chilling 1996 encounter that sparked the legend to modern-day sightings that continue to surface, we break down the patterns, the behavior, and the eerie consistency behind these encounters. Why do they ask to be let in? Why do witnesses feel immediate, overwhelming fear? And why does this phenomenon echo ancient folklore about entities that cannot cross a threshold without consent? Are the Black Eyed Kids simply an internet-born urban legend? A psychological manifestation of fear? Or something far more unsettling—something that understands human trust, and waits for us to open the door? Whatever they are… the stories haven't stopped. And neither has the mystery. Lock your doors. Trust your instincts. And whatever you do… Don't let them in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Wes is once again joined in the shed by our returning champion, philosopher, historian, and nearly refined gentleman, Joshau B. Teasley Jr. III.

Bigfoot took home the crown last year, who do the guys see coming out on top in this year's tournament?
Brian was thirteen and home alone when someone knocked on the door. Looking out the dining room window, he saw two kids standing on the porch, waiting patiently for someone to answer.He nearly opened the door—until an overwhelming feeling stopped him. Moments later, after another knock, he checked the window again. The porch was empty.The strange part? With a long driveway and a clear view of the yard, there was nowhere they could have gone without him seeing them leave.Years later, after hearing stories about something called “Black Eyed Kids,” the memory suddenly felt a lot less ordinary.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #BlackEyedKids #ParanormalEncounter #UnansweredMysteries #CreepyEncounters #GhostStories #TrueParanormal #HauntedMemories #ParanormalPodcast #ThingsThatGoBumpLove real ghost stories?

In this gripping episode, we sit down with an all-star lineup of paranormal voices: Laura from the Midnight in the Mountains Podcast, Jason York from AFK Discussions, and Brooks Rinish from the East Tennessee paranormal team The Smokies Unforgotten Spirits.Together, we dive deep into one of Tennessee's most haunted and mysterious locations — Elkmont Ghost Town, nestled deep within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park near Gatlinburg.Once a thriving early 1900s logging community and exclusive mountain resort for the wealthy, Elkmont was left to slowly fade after the creation of the national park. Today, its decaying yet eerily preserved cabins, the infamous “Troll Bridge,” and historic homes stand as a haunting time capsule of Appalachian life — and a hotspot for intense paranormal activity.From shadowy air entities and dark figures to chilling encounters with Black-Eyed Kids, aggressive spirits, and even reports of Bigfoot, Elkmont has earned its reputation as one of the most active locations in the Smokies.But this episode goes far beyond the legends. The guys open up about a terrifying personal experience they had in the ghost town — an encounter so powerful it has haunted them ever since and may have left a lasting impact on their lives.Join us for a wild, unforgettable night at Elkmont Ghost Town and discover the lingering effects this abandoned place continues to have on those who dare to investigate it.Got a mind-blowing paranormal encounter, cryptid sighting, UFO experience, or any high-strangeness story that still gives you chills?

In the small English village of St. Osyth, a 16th century witch's prison still stands — and the tortured spirits of those who suffered and died inside have never stopped making their presence known. | #WDRadio WEEK OF MARCH 22, 2026==========HOUR ONE: Is it possible that the monster your child sees under the bed or in the closet isn't imaginary after all? We look at some true stories of people coming face to face with monsters in their own home. (When The Monster in the Closet is Real) *** Even for those immersed in Ufology, for many, a certain controversial subject is so troubling and disturbing they choose to outright ignore it, and seldom speak of it. It's the question – are UFOs stealing humans' souls? (Soul-Stealing Extraterrestrials) *** Stories of prisons housing the spirits of the dead is already dreary, but in England there is a prison called “The Cage” - and the haunting spirits there are real-life witches. (The Prison Haunted by Witches)==========HOUR TWO: If their walls could talk, lighthouses could share many stories from the past. Unfortunately, these objects don't have the ability to tell their tales – but the phantoms that haunt them just might. SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: People have said they feel drained after seeing Black-Eyed Kids, or exhausted when speaking with whom they later discovered was a self-proclaimed vampire. Is it possible that otherworldly, ghostly entities, interdimensional creatures, and even occultist human beings are, in some way, literally feeding on us?

What happens when a self-described atheist builds a career investigating the darkest corners of the paranormal, and something starts following him home? Barry is a writer who tried to launch his career as a paranormal journalist back in the early 2000s and wrote one of the original deep-dive articles on Black Eyed Children for UFO Digest. He was flooded with over 250 emails from people with their own encounters and shares the stories that stuck with him most, including a woman who pulled over to help a homeless person only to lock eyes with completely black eyes, and a Georgia prison guard who was lifted off the ground by an inmate speaking in an unknown language whose eyes turned black mid-sentence. But the deeper story is Barry's own — how researching the darkest corners of the paranormal opened doors he didn't know he was opening, and how something seemed to become aware of him during that season.

On a quiet night in 1996, a routine stop to pay an internet bill turned into one of the most infamous paranormal encounters in modern history. Two children. Coal-black eyes. And a single chilling demand: let us in. Tonight, we uncover the origin of the Black Eyed Kids.In the spring of that year, journalist Brian Bethel experienced something that would spark one of the internet's most enduring urban legends. After sharing his story online, others began coming forward with eerily similar accounts. Pale faces, monotone voices, completely black eyes, and an unsettling need for permission to enter.In this episode, we explore the original encounter, the wave of reports that followed, and the disturbing lore surrounding what have come to be known as the Black Eyed Kids.Are they demons? Extradimensional beings? Or something even stranger?Want more free scary shows that I make?

The Shelton brothers rose from Wayne County farm boys to run one of the most powerful criminal empires in Illinois history — defying the Chicago Outfit, surviving ambushes, and collecting enemies until the bullets finally caught up with them, though the killers were never found, and at least one of the brothers apparently never left the bar where he died.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: On July 26, 1948, infamous Illinois gangster Bernie Shelton – by then acting leader of the Shelton Brothers gang – was shot to death at the Parkway Tavern, a roadhouse that he owned outside of Peoria. For years after, Bernie's ghost was said to haunt the tavern, unable to move on after a lifetime of violence, murder, and regret. (Last Drink at the Parkway Tavern) *** Want to be sure you'll have a paranormal experience? Simply walk into a known haunted house to spend a few nights, all the while saying out-loud “I don't believe in no dang ghosts!” That's what did it for one woman. (Cousin Evie And I Know The Truth) *** How would you react if your two-year-old came running into the room, saying he's scared of a creepy image of a man in the mirror? (Creepy Memories) *** An innocent game of hide-n-seek at their grandparents' house turns into terror. (Hide And Seek) *** Three children left for a sunny day at a south Australian beach and were never heard from again. (The Mysterious Disappearance of the Beaumont Children) *** American Airlines Flight 191 crashed in 1979, killing everyone on board – and it left something of the paranormal once the debris was cleared.

The phone battery should have died. The phone was never found.A heart transplant patient inherits his donor's food cravings, handwriting, and wife. Thirteen years later, he kills himself the same way his donor did. Same method. Same location.Two children knock on a car window asking for a ride home. Their eyes are solid black from edge to edge.

There is a place where mysteries are in plain sight and werewolves dance with ghosts in front of Black-Eyed-Kids. That place is known as Cannock Chase.
Jerry returns to the show for another deep dive into the South Mountains of North Carolina—a region he calls one of the strangest “hotspot” corridors he's ever researched. Drawing from decades of local accounts, family histories, and firsthand reports, Jerry traces a chilling pattern of unexplained activity across the South Mountains, the Great Smokies, the Blue Ridge, and even the Pacific Northwest.This episode unfolds like a living archive of the weird: early-1900s stories of eerie vocalizations rolling through the hollers, barns disturbed in the dead of night, and unsettling encounters that left families questioning what really stalks those ridgelines. From Carpenter's Knob to backroads you'd never notice on a map, the stories stack up—each one different, yet threaded by the same sense of being watched, followed, or hunted.Then the episode pivots into something even darker: the black-eyed children phenomenon.Through Dave, the lifelong partner of Susan, we hear her spine-freezing encounter that followed her mother's death—a night marked by a knock at the door, a request to be let inside, and the unmistakable terror of realizing something wasn't human. Susan's experience mirrors incidents tied to her mother years earlier, raising disturbing questions about generational patterns, grief triggers, and why certain places seem to attract the unexplainable.By the end, you'll be left wondering what makes these mountains a magnet for high-strangeness—and whether some forces don't just haunt locations… but follow bloodlines.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsEpisode Timeline00:00 – Welcome back to the South Mountains series01:35 – What makes a “hotspot”?

En la noche de Halloween del 2003, la Sra. Estela, una abuelita que vivía sola en San Diego, atendió a un último niño disfrazado que tocó su puerta. Ella, pensando que su disfraz era realmente espantoso, salió con la intención de ofrecerle algunos dulces. Sin embargo, se dio cuenta que el niño buscaba ayuda. Así que, sintiéndose mal por el niño, lo dejó pasar a su casa... pero eso... eso fue una decisión que marcó su vida para siempre.Lo que ocurrió dentro de esa sala quedó grabado en su mente como un recuerdo fragmentado, borroso y demasiado aterrador para contarlo completo. Esa noche terminó con ella en estado de shock, con heridas profundas en ambos brazos y desarrollando, desde entonces, un miedo irracional hacia los niños.La policía lo trató como un intento de robo. La familia cree que fue algo más. Mucho más...Este relato, reconstruido a partir de lo poco que la abuelita pudo contar, del testimonio de un vecino… y de lo que vieron los paramédicos, narra una de las experiencias más perturbadoras que hemos recibido en Frecuencia Paranormal: el encuentro con un “niño” cuyas verdaderas intenciones quedaron grabadas en la piel y en la mente de una mujer que nunca volvió a ser la misma.¿Sería un BEK?

Some creatures don't bring death — they just let you know it's coming.IN THIS EPISODE: Throughout history, we've assigned roles for harbingers of doom to various creatures and people. If a black cat crosses your path, it brings bad luck with it. If you see your own doppelganger, you're dangerously close to an untimely end. If the grim reaper makes an appearance, your time is up. And on and on it goes. In small towns in and around the United States and across the world, creatures lurking in the woods, sounds that can be heard at night, are all signs that something terrible is headed your way. These are what are known as “harbingers of doom” – and there are some horrifying events that have been linked to them over the years. (True Stories of Harbingers of Doom) *** The vast emptiness of Arizona can make the imagination do some crazy things – but then add to that an odd, abandoned set of domelike buildings, graffitied with “666”, where dead animals are found regularly, and the imagination might take you past crazy and into terrifying. (Arizona's Roadside Horror) *** Mary Harris waited outside the building where Adoniram Burroughs worked, and when he came out she pulled a gun and shot him at close range – killing him instantly. She then walked off, calmly, as if she had only tossed down and stepped on a used cigarette butt. But the public was on her side once her story was told. (The Case of Mary Harris) *** Weirdo family member Danny Ward tells the true story of what happened to him on a camping trip that turned terrifying.

VIII La historia de los Niños de Ojos Negros, los enigmáticos BEK, es uno de esos fenómenos que se mueven entre lo sobrenatural y lo profundamente humano, una frontera difusa donde lo cotidiano se vuelve aterrador. Este programa nace después de meses de investigación, rastreando casos en chats extranjeros, foros antiguos, relatos olvidados y testimonios que rara vez se narran en otros espacios. Porque, aunque la experiencia de Brian Bethel en 1996 marcó el inicio del mito moderno, lo cierto es que los encuentros con estos niños parecen extenderse mucho más atrás en el tiempo, quizá siglos, quizá milenios, escondidos en narraciones indígenas e historias rurales. Los BEK se presentan como niños o adolescentes que nunca terminan de encajar en nuestro mundo. Hablan con cortesía, pero con una extrañeza imposible de disimular. Visten prendas que parecen tomadas de otra época, y su conducta recuerda a un guion mal aprendido, como si intentaran imitar lo humano sin llegar a comprenderlo del todo. Hay algo antinatural en ellos, una quietud que paraliza, un aura que provoca un miedo inmediato y sin explicación lógica. Sus ojos, completamente negros sin iris, sin pupilas, sin blanco, son el sello que distingue a estos visitantes que siempre quieren lo mismo: ENTRAR. Ese es el patrón que se repite en todos los testimonios, desde Texas hasta Vermont, desde los suburbios modernos hasta los bosques más remotos. Los BEK jamás fuerzan una puerta. No irrumpen. No empujan. Siempre piden permiso. Piden entrar en un coche, en una casa, en un porche apenas iluminado. Y lo hacen con una insistencia que roza la hipnosis, con un tono de voz tan plano y monótono que despierta un terror íntimo, casi primitivo. Los casos narrados en este programa abarcan desde los más conocidos hasta aquellos escondidos en archivos y conversaciones que nunca llegaron al gran público. Están las experiencias de quienes lograron cerrar la puerta a tiempo y, aun así, cargaron con semanas de pesadillas, enfermedades repentinas o la sensación de que algo siguió observándolos desde la oscuridad. Y están también esos pocos testimonios, inquietantes y trágicos, de quienes sí dejaron entrar a los niños. Personas que, tras ese gesto de compasión o desconcierto, sufrieron desgracias súbitas: accidentes incomprensibles, pérdidas familiares, diagnósticos que surgieron de la nada. Historias que han llevado a muchos investigadores a pensar que permitirles la entrada no es una cuestión banal, sino una decisión que marca un antes y un después en la vida de cualquiera. El programa explora además las raíces más antiguas del mito, como la figura del Urfa Man, una escultura de más de once mil años con los ojos hechos de obsidiana negra, o las leyendas nativoamericanas de criaturas infantiles que cazaban humanos, imitaban voces de bebés o aparecían en la noche reclamando algo más profundo que un simple refugio. El recorrido conecta testimonios modernos con historias ancestrales, sugiriendo que quizá no estemos ante un fenómeno nuevo, sino ante una máscara que reaparece generación tras generación, adaptada a nuestro tiempo pero idéntica en su propósito. A lo largo del episodio, irás entrando en un espacio donde la voz infantil se convierte en una advertencia, donde la frontera entre lo real y lo imposible se vuelve cada vez más fina. Porque los BEK no solo piden entrar en hogares o vehículos; tal vez, como insinúan algunos testimonios, estén pidiendo algo más íntimo, más peligroso. Esta es la esencia del programa: un viaje inquietante por testimonios reales, lecturas antiguas y encuentros contemporáneos, donde cada relato obliga a preguntarse qué son realmente estos niños, de dónde vienen y, sobre todo, por qué necesitan que seamos nosotros quienes abramos la puerta. Una exploración profunda del miedo primigenio que despierta un niño donde no debería haber uno, con una mirada que no pertenece a este mundo. Hay quienes creen que tienen que ver algo con los famosos Hombres de Negro. MIB. Se ha dicho que los niños pueden ser: Espíritus errantes o almas de niños que murieron sin descanso. Manifestaciones demoníacas, entidades que necesitan permiso para cruzar un umbral, igual que en muchas tradiciones religiosas. Vampiros, por la necesidad imprescindible de ser invitados antes de entrar. Extraterrestres, una de las hipótesis mencionadas explícitamente. Entidades interdimensionales que adoptan forma infantil para generar confianza. Híbridos una combinación no especificada entre humano y otra entidad. En este episodio de LLDLL, nos adentramos en un misterio que se expande mucho más allá de la leyenda urbana: los Niños de Ojos Negros, un fenómeno que heló la sangre de cientos de personas y que, quizá, lleva acompañándonos desde que la humanidad comenzó a contar historias alrededor del fuego. Aquí comienza ese viaje, con todas las puertas cerradas… y el oído atento a cualquier golpe suave que venga del otro lado. HAZTE MECENAS: No dejes que La Biblioteca cierre nunca sus puertas.

Among the thousands of people who report encounters with the insidious black eyed children, one of them is tonight's witness Leila. What started as a walk home with her infant child turned into a night of horror that would set the stage for a lifetime of paranormal encounters.
Bathroom dares, mirrors, candles, and a name spoken three times — for most of us it was a middle-school scare tactic. For him, it was just that… until it wasn't. Growing up in Minnesota, he saw friends do the classic “Bloody Mary” challenge and never once saw anything appear. His dad even banned the screaming-in-the-bathroom stuff, calling it fake. Years later in California, though, a friend from Mexico — a totally sober, devout guy with a Virgin Mary on his rearview mirror — tried something different: calling on Santa Muerte in front of a mirror with a black candle. This time he ran out of the house and never came back. What he said he saw wasn't a party trick. He described a female, Grim-Reaper-like figure — more like a dark Virgin than a slumber party ghost. And that lined up with what his grandmother had warned him about. That wasn't kid legend. That was folk religion. From there, the episode drifts into all the ways belief, language, and culture shape what shows up: Bloody Mary in one place, La Santa Muerte in another, Black-Eyed Kids in another. Then we hear from a listener in a 200-year-old farmhouse where a former owner, “Mary,” keeps visiting generations of the same family — proving that sometimes, the dead don't haunt a house… they haunt a bloodline. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #SantaMuerte #MirrorRitual #BloodyMaryLegend #ParanormalPodcast #LatinoFolkMagic #HauntedHouse #GhostEncounters #SupernaturalStories #TrueParanormal Love real ghost stories?

A knock at the door after dark should be ordinary. But what if it isn't? For decades, people all over the world have told the same unnerving story: pale, monotone children with jet-black eyes asking to be let inside. Some call them Black Eyed Kids. Some say they vanish when refused. Others whisper that letting them in leads to sickness… or worse.From Brian Bethel's late-night encounter in a Texas parking lot, to a 1923 Louisiana farm where a woman was haunted nightly by a black-eyed boy, these stories blur the line between internet legend, folklore, and something far more sinister.This week, we'll hear:Brian Bethel's infamous 1996 story that ignited the legend.Martin York's strange illness after his encounter in rural West Virginia.The eerie 1923 “Jane” case—decades before the internet gave the kids their name.Modern variants: hotel window knocks, shopping mall stalkings, and Cannock Chase sightings in the UK.Police and military encounters that suggest this isn't just an urban legend.We'll explore:Why the “invitation rule” runs through vampire, demon, djinn, and fairy folklore.How Black Eyed Kids echo changelings, shadow people, and other age-old monsters.And why the sight of a child—something meant to be innocent—hits our deepest fears when it's wrong.Join us as we open the door (carefully) to the chilling phenomenon of the Black Eyed Kids—equal parts ghost story, folklore, and modern nightmare.Stay strange.

The Black-Eyed Kids are more than just an internet urban legend. For those who have experienced their chilling presence, they're a real-life nightmare. With eyes as black as ink and unnerving, emotionless voices, these children show up at front doors, car windows, and porches, always asking the same thing: “Can we come in?” In this chilling episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with Gemma Jade, author of Danger at Your Door: Encounters with Black-Eyed Kids, a deeply unsettling collection of true stories from people who claim to have come face-to-face with these entities. But this isn't just about eerie anecdotes—Gemma goes deeper, investigating the origins and theories behind these terrifying beings. Are they ghosts? Demons in disguise? Extraterrestrials sent to observe or infiltrate? Or could they be interdimensional predators—feeding off fear and confusion? If you've ever been fascinated—or terrified—by the legend of the Black-Eyed Children, this is the episode you must hear. True stories. Real encounters. And a terrifying possibility that they're still out there... watching... waiting. #BlackEyedKids #DangerAtYourDoor #GemmaJade #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStories #RealHauntings #HauntedEncounters #GhostCaughtOnCamera #CreepyEncounters #UrbanLegends #TheGraveTalks #ParanormalActivity Love real ghost stories?

Tenia bastante, pero bastante tiempo sin compartirles una recopilación de este tema que tiene testimonios alrededor del mundo, tema que vuelve con alrededor de 9 vivencias que giran en torno a estos misteriosos seres o apariciones. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
HOUR ONE: If their walls could talk, lighthouses could share many stories from the past. Unfortunately, these objects don't have the ability to tell their tales – but the phantoms that haunt them just might. ==========HOUR TWO: Is it possible that the monster your child sees under the bed or in the closet isn't imaginary after all? We look at some true stories of people coming face to face with monsters in their own home. (When The Monster in the Closet is Real) *** Even for those immersed in Ufology, for many, a certain controversial subject is so troubling and disturbing they choose to outright ignore it, and seldom speak of it. It's the question – are UFOs stealing humans' souls? (Soul-Stealing Extraterrestrials) *** Stories of prisons housing the spirits of the dead is already dreary, but in England there is a prison called “The Cage” - and the haunting spirits there are real-life witches. (The Prison Haunted by Witches)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: People have said they feel drained after seeing Black-Eyed Kids, or exhausted when speaking with whom they later discovered was a self-proclaimed vampire. Is it possible that otherworldly, ghostly entities, interdimensional creatures, and even occultist human beings are, in some way, literally feeding on us?

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by recapping the recent hailstorm that wreaked havoc in their area—destroying all three of Kyle's vehicles, damaging Cam's ride, and wiping out nearly half of Kyle's garden. Ouch. Then, they dive into a bizarre listener submission from Kentucky involving a strange entity—just a head, arms, and torso—caught in the act of devouring all his cabbages. After the break, Kyle shares some chilling new encounters with the infamous Black-Eyed Kids. These eerie stories follow a familiar and unsettling pattern: pale children with pitch-black eyes appear at homes or vehicles, knock politely, and insist on being let inside. Those who encounter them often report an immediate and overwhelming sense of dread. While the children typically appear normal—aside from their unnerving eyes—some accounts mention outdated clothing and even talon-like feet. Theories about their origin range from extraterrestrial visitors and demonic entities to something far stranger. Some believe these beings are emissaries of the devil himself, and that inviting them in allows something truly evil to cross your threshold. Though some say the legend dates back to the 1980s, most trace its roots to 1996, when Texas journalist Brian Bethel published his own terrifying encounter with these sinister children. All this and more on this spine-tingling installment of Expanded Perspectives!

Supposedly true tales this week from Dan include a story about an elderly widow living alone in the early 1980s and her visitors. Then, we'll bounce around the world to a number of so-called “phantom islands.” Can an island discovered by numerous explorers inexplicably just disappear? And, if so, what does that mean? Then, Lynze brings us three tales in a death sandwich of stories, if you will. Her first is sweet and sad and gives us hope for a connection to our deceased loved ones. Then, a home is not haunted until it is- did a fire wake up a ghost? Lastly, the grim reaper or the man in black comes for an old man.
