Some places have ghost stories. Others have legends that locals know better than to ignore. This week we're reading hometown horror stories featuring haunted bridges, cursed landmarks, cryptids, and eerie encounters that prove the creepiest paranormal activity might be waiting just down the road. Stories include: A nightmare at a remote campground leaves one listener wondering if a terrifying goat-headed figure was trying to make them sign something they never should have. A trip in the mountains of British Columbia takes a terrifying turn after multiple witnesses spot a pale creature silently gliding through the woods. A late night drive through the countryside becomes a race against a towering creature that keeps pace with a speeding car. A paranormal research team shares unsettling encounters from land bordering one of the world's most infamous supernatural hotspots, including impossible voices, a disappearing deer man, and more. Watch the video version here. Have ghost stories of your own?

Every year, as Hungry Ghost Month begins, millions of people across Asia follow traditions that have been passed down for centuries. Offerings are left beside roads, front-row seats remain empty for unseen guests, and children are warned never to whistle after dark. In this episode, we explore the urban legends that surround the seventh lunar month, from ghostly getai audiences and spirits lurking beneath the water to the mysterious sound of marbles rolling across apartment floors in the middle of the night. These are not forgotten folktales from the distant past, they are stories that continue to be told in some of the world's most modern cities.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://www.hawparvilla.sg/hells-museum/https://www.hawparvilla.sg/https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/hungry-ghost-festival-all-you-need-to-know-and-heed-about-the-7th-month-celebrationshttps://www.channelnewsasia.com/cna-insider/hungry-ghost-festival-beliefs-customs-taboos-getai-offerings-2930031https://www.visitsingapore.com/editorials/the-festival-of-the-hungry-ghosts/https://www.nlb.gov.sg/main/article-detail?cmsuuid=5bda4a3f-fdf8-45b2-bd84-4d597c8228f6https://www.roots.gov.sg/ich-landing/ich/hungry-ghost-festivalhttps://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/culture/article/3229093/hungry-ghost-festival-why-chinese-people-burn-paper-money-leave-food-and-avoid-swimming-duringhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Festivalhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getaihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyolhttps://www.homeanddecor.com.sg/design/news/strange-noises-you-hear-at-night-in-your-apartment-what-causes-these-soundshttps://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/2ck5oq/hungry_ghost_month_any_interesting_stories/https://www.reddit.com/r/singapore/comments/8vl0hx/what_is_the_marble_dropping_sound/https://www.reddit.com/r/singapore/comments/3r6mn7/marbles_dropping_sound/https://www.reddit.com/r/malaysia/comments/8tqz5t/marbles_dropping_sound/https://www.timeout.com/singapore/things-to-do/a-guide-to-the-hungry-ghost-festival-in-singaporehttps://theculturetrip.com/asia/singapore/articles/a-guide-to-singapores-hungry-ghost-festivalhttps://www.remembersingapore.org/2012/08/31/hungry-ghost-festival-superstitions/Thanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on Thursday.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Why would you want to destroy them?"He: "אני רוצה לדעת," אמר בחיוך סמוי, "אני צריך לראות בעיניים שלי."En: "I want to know," he said with a hidden smile, "I need to see with my own eyes."He: תמר התחבטה, וכשירד הערב, החליטה ללכת איתו.En: Tamar hesitated, and as evening fell, decided to accompany him.He: השניים התגנבו לבית הכנסת.En: The two snuck into the synagogue.He: האוויר בפנים היה לח ונשוב מימים רחוקים.En: The air inside was damp and heavy with the scent of bygone days.He: לפתע נשמעו רעשים.En: Suddenly, noises were heard.He: לחישות מהדהדות שריננו את הלב.En: Echoing whispers that sent chills to the heart.He: "זה... זה רק הרוח," אליאב אמר, אבל ליבו הלם.En: "It's... it's just the wind," Eliyav said, but his heart pounded.He: עוד לפני שיכלו לברר על מקור הקולות, דמות זזה בצללים.En: Before they could investigate the source of the sounds, a figure moved in the shadows.He: הם קפאו.En: They froze.He: זה היה זמן של הסתרה ונשימה עצורה.En: It was a moment of hiding and holding one's breath.He: אך אחרי רגע של אימה, התבררו העקבות: קבוצת בני נוער שהחביא אותם בחושך.En: But after a moment of terror, the truth was revealed: a group of teenagers hiding in the dark.He: מתברר שהם תכננו תעלול, כדי להכניס את התושבים למתח ולחגיגה לקראת ראש השנה.En: It turned out they were planning a prank to stir excitement and anticipation for Rosh Hashanah.He: אליאב נשם בהקלה.En: Eliyav breathed a sigh of relief.He: הוא שמח למצוא הסבר רשמי ופשוט לרעשים.En: He was glad to find a simple and official explanation for the noises.He: תמר חייכה בעדינות, שמחה שיכול להפסיק לדאוג לאגדות.En: Tamar gently smiled, relieved that he could stop worrying about the legends.He: אמנם, היא גם חשה תחושת סיפוק על כך שהסיפור נותר מקום הרבה בעיני התושבים, אך כעת היא יותר מכוונת להחכים ולהבין את משמעות המסורות בדרכים שעוזרות לשמר את הרוח המיוחדת של צפת.En: Though she also felt satisfaction that the story remained profound in the eyes of the residents, now she was more focused on understanding the meaning of the traditions in ways that help preserve the special spirit of Tzfat.

Urban legends are woven into the fabric of our culture. From eerie stories recounted around campfires, to the tales that inspired some of our most iconic horror films, these cautionary tales have become deeply embedded in our collective imagination. While many were originally created by adults hoping to keep children safe from real-world dangers, others have taken on lives of their own—and in some cases, the line between myth and reality has become disturbingly blurred.This week, we'll explore the urban legends that inspired Hollywood's biggest scares, the chilling folklore that continues to haunt current generations, and the stories that, in some cases, turned into real-life nightmares.

As the climate crisis accelerates, our information ecosystem has become a critical battleground. Coordinated climate disinformation - driven by fossil fuel interests - is increasingly targeting cities and urban leaders to stall transformative policy and manufacture public doubt.In this special Hot Takes episode recorded on the ground at London Climate Action Week, host David Miller examines how cities are actively defending information integrity and reclaiming the narrative. We look at why proactive storytelling and pre-bunking are far more powerful than traditional fact-checking, how mayors serve as vital trusted messengers in noisy digital spaces, and the stark reality of how disinformation threatens life and resilience on the frontlines of Ukraine. We will also be exploring how the C40 Centre itself incubated the recently launched City Climate Facts that aims to support cities in fighting disinformation, and cleaning up our urban information ecosystem.Featured guests:Adam Brzezinski, British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the London School of Economics and Political ScienceChiara Morfeo, Senior Manager for Research and Communications at the C40 CentreOleksandr Senkevich, Mayor of Mykolaiv, UkraineTo follow more of C40 and the C40 Centre's work combating climate disinformation, please check out the following links: The C40 Centre's climate communications insights - SubstackPrevious episodes of Cities 1.5 covering different aspects of climate disinformation Overview of C40's disinformation work.If you would like a copy of the C40 disinformation and extreme weather playbook - available in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese - please request one through the form at the bottom of this link. Links:Big Oil's Real Agenda on Climate Change - InfluenceMap websiteCombatting Climate Disinformation: Comparing the Effectiveness of Correction Placement and Type - Environmental CommunicationInoculation Theory as a Design Approach to Game-Based Misinformation Interventions - Taylor & FrancisDisinformation in the City: Response Playbook - University of Melbourne & German Marshall FundDisinformation in the Service of War - Center for European Policy AnalysisStarving the Hydra: How Digital Platforms Profit from Misinformation - Center for Countering Digital HateIf you want to learn more about the Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy, please visit our website at https://jccpe.utpjournals.press/Listen to the Cities 1.5 five-part miniseries “Going Steady with Herman Daly: How to Unbreak the Economy (and the Planet)" here: https://lnk.to/HDMiniSeriesCities 1.5 is produced by the University of Toronto Press and the C40 Centre, and is supported by C40 Cities.

Tonight we will be looking into the urban legends of Pennsylvania 8-4-2026 United Public Radio & UFO Paranormal Radio www.uprntalkradio.com

Send us Fan MailHave you ever heard the story of the mysterious hitchhiker who vanishes without a trace?

In 1982, an 18-year-old dropped dead after playing the arcade game Berzerk — and decades of half-truths, copycat rumors, and a real murder at the same machine turned it into legend. We separate fact from fiction on the Berzerk curse and its shadowy cousin, Polybius, the government mind-control game that may or may not have ever existed.==========HOUR ONE: It's rumored that an arcade game from 1980 might lead to the real death of its players. We'll look at the death curse of Berzerk. (The Berzerk Death Curse, And The Polybius Urban Legend) *** And another arcade game in the early 80s was surrounded by controversy – because the game never existed, despite so many saying it did. Or did it exist? We'll look at the urban legend of Polybius. (The Urban Legend of Polybius)==========HOUR TWO: Was Stanley Stiers the real-life inspiration for Michael Myers in 1978's John Carpenter film, “Halloween?” (The Real Michael Myers) *** The last known words of Peter Rugg were “Let the storm increase! I will see home tonight in spite of the last tempest, or I may never see home!" Over two-hundred years later and he has yet to make it home – but that hasn't stopped his tempest! (The Eternal Ride of Peter Rugg) *** Imagine attending college for several years, only to find out that the whole time you've been studying on top of the corpses of thousands of mental patients. That's exactly what happened in 2013 when The University of Mississippi made plans to expand parking for their students and staff. (The Corpses Under The University of Mississippi) *** Dealing with a ghost or two is awful enough – but what if you're attacked by a whole gang of ghouls? It was reported as real news in 1889's Chicago Tribune! (A Whole Gang O' Ghosts) *** People With Super Powers!==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Michael Bryson disappeared on August 5th, 2020 from Hobo Campground at Umpqua National Forest. He has yet to be found. (The Disappearance of Michael Bryson) *** When it comes to cryptids, you have many to choose from – Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, the chupacabra, the list goes on and on. But I'm willing to bet nowhere on the list of your favorite cryptids, or even the cryptids you've ever heard of, do you have an entry for “The Belled Buzzard” of Texas. (The Belled Buzzard Legend) *** When the Black Plague arrived at Eyam's doorstep in the 17th century, its villagers were forced to choose between life or certain doom. It's the tragic tale of England's Plague Village.

Does the Goat Man still terrorize the town of Beltsville? Was Raymond Doe actually possessed by a demon that inspired a groundbreaking book and film series? Dive deep with us into some of the craziest urban legends from the state of Maryland!

New Jersey might be famous for its beaches, turnpikes, and bustling cities, but beneath its urban centers and dense wetlands lies a dark underworld of bizarre creatures and urban legends. In this episode, we explore five of New Jersey's most baffling and terrifying cryptids:The New Jersey Gator Man: A six-foot, bipedal, armored reptilian terror stalking the stagnant pools and drainage ditches of Sussex County.The Hoboken Monkey-Man: The 1982 urban panic that gripped a city's school system and left children and police searching for an apelike phantom in the alleys.The Beast of Lake Hopatcong ("Hoppie"): A massive, 40-to-50-foot serpentine lake monster complete with a horse-like head and deer-like antlers that famously shrugged off a rifle round.The Jersey Devil: The undisputed icon of the Pine Barrens born from a 1735 curse, this winged, horse-faced horror has been terrorizing locals and making statewide headlines for nearly three centuries.The Mantis Man of the Musconetcong: An 8-foot-tall, semi-transparent insectoid entity near Hackettstown that moves like a praying mantis and vanishes like a ghost.Tune in as we break down the history, the sightings, and the high strangeness behind New Jersey's most infamous monsters.Have your own story?

Schon oft haben wir uns bei HOAXILLA den Geschichten aus den Appalachen gewidmet. Mothman, die Bell Witch oder auch die Skinwalker seien als Beispiele genannt. Aber was genau macht die Faszination dieser riesigen Bergkette aus, die älter ist als die Ringe des Saturn? Warum gibt es gerade hier so viele unterschiedliche Erzählmotive, und kann man erkennen, aus welchen Kulturen sie stammen? All das haben wir uns angeschaut und dabei auch einen Blick auf die aktuelle sozioökonomische Lage der Appalachen geworfen. Wie man uns unterstützen kann, könnt ihr hier nachlesen.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: August 29, 2023Every state in America is hiding something. Cross the country from Alabama to Wyoming and you'll find a haunted playground where swings move on their own, a vampire buried in a Colorado cemetery, a goat-headed man lurking under a Kentucky railroad trestle, and black-eyed children knocking on car windows in Texas. Some of these urban legends are pure fiction. Others have a disturbing amount of truth buried underneath them — which is exactly what makes them stick.This episode of Weird Darkness travels through all fifty states to uncover the eeriest tale each one has to tell. There's the Alaskan Triangle, where thousands have vanished without a trace, and the shape-shifting otter people the Tlingit say are responsible. There's Resurrection Mary, the ghostly hitchhiker still searching for a dance partner outside Chicago. There's the Villisca ax murders, an unsolved 1912 slaughter that turned a family home into a haunted museum. There's Mothman over Point Pleasant, the skunk ape in the Everglades, the Jersey Devil in the Pine Barrens, and Bigfoot stalking the forests of the Pacific Northwest.Cryptids and creepy clowns. Cursed roads and phantom trains. Witches, wendigos, and vampires. Alien crash sites and portals to hell. You'll meet the "watcher" who terrorized a New Jersey family through the mail, the Bunny Man of Virginia, Walking Sam on the Pine Ridge Reservation, and the Candy Lady of rural Texas. Whether these stories were born around a campfire or dragged out of something that really happened, they've survived because nobody can quite prove they're not true.So bolt your doors, lock your windows, and find out what's whispered about in your own backyard — because every state in the Union has its own creepy collection of urban legends, and some of them might be closer than you think.

A terrifying vision, a terrifying UFO encounter, and evidence of the encounter buried in his arm – if true, Tim Cullen's story could change everything we think we know about extraterrestrials.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/timcullenREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/433fftc2FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Tim Cullen's life changed forever after a chilling dream in 1978. It wasn't long after that he had bizarre encounters with UFOs, was abducted by aliens, and found a strange piece of metal embedded in his arm. Were these encounters real? If so, what secrets lie within the alien implant removed from his body? (The Alien Abduction of Tim Cullen) *** The life of Martha Place took a dark turn in 1899. Convicted of a brutal murder, Martha faced a horrifying punishment… she was about to become the first woman to be executed by the electric chair. (The First Woman in the Electric Chair) *** We'll look at a double-murder case where real crime collides with reality TV, resulting in real-life horror. (The Wife-Swap Murders) *** Steve's childhood was marked by inexplicable and spine-chilling encounters. Eerie breathing sounds, a manifestation at his bedside, being pushed down the stairs… all without a rational explanation. Even moving away wouldn't bring his paranormal tormenting to an end. (The Entity That Follows) *** The urban legend of "The Licked Hand” is a chilling tale that has been whispered around campfires and shared at sleepovers for generations, tapping into our deepest fears of invasion and vulnerability. But this isn't just any ghost story; it's a timeless warning about the dangers lurking in the darkness, waiting to infiltrate our homes and lives… and it even has a bit of truth to it.

Some links included above may benefit me financially through qualifying purchases.)WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark. Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 10, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness moves from a recovered alien implant in a Colorado man's forearm to the first woman ever sent to the electric chair, through the campfire legend of the licked hand, a Wife Swap family destroyed by one son's gunfire, and a breathing entity that stalked a boy from one English city to another.It opens with Tim Cullen, who dreamed on April 2nd, 1978 that he would be in a violent traffic accident, then lived it a week later on April 9th when his friend Ken Ruberg's car rolled over multiple times and left Cullen with a broken neck. Recovering in the hospital, he had a second vivid dream, this one of a UFO, and on May 30th of that year, while driving Highway 59 home from a checkup with his pregnant wife Janet, the couple watched a silent, glowing craft roughly 100 feet long hover over a pasture with two diffused lights — one yellow, one red — glowing at its rear. Cullen reported two more sightings along the same Yuma, Colorado stretch of road, one in 1980 and another in 1994 witnessed by his wife and three daughters, but the encounters faded from his mind until 1998, when he hit his thumb with a hammer and Dr. Mark Hubner at the Yuma Clinic spotted a piece of metal lodged in his forearm on the X-ray. Convinced the object was an alien implant, Cullen contacted Roger K. Leir, who surgically removed it on February 5th, 2000 in Thousand Oaks, California — a melon-seed-shaped fragment about 7 centimeters long, wrapped in a reddish-brown membrane, with a magnetic core that leapt half an inch off the table toward a magnet.From there the episode turns to March 20th, 1899, when Martha Place became the first woman executed in the electric chair at Sing Sing Prison in New York, a procedure so unfamiliar with a female prisoner that her executioners cut a slit in the black dress she had sewn herself to reach her ankles. Born Martha Garrettson in Millstone, New Jersey in 1849, she had been struck in the head by a sleigh at 23 and, her brother believed, never fully recovered. After marrying widower William Place and coming to hate her teenage stepdaughter Ida, she threw acid into the 17-year-old girl's face on February 7th, 1898, smothered her with bedding, and waited with an ax for William, whom she wounded as he stepped through the door. Governor Theodore Roosevelt refused to commute her sentence, and after the words "God help me," 1,760 volts ended her life at the age of 49.Next comes the urban legend of the licked hand, in which a girl left home alone with her German Shepherd reaches down through the night to feel a reassuring lick, only to wake and find her dog skinned in the shower and the words "Humans can lick too" scrawled on the mirror. The legend's roots reach back to an 1871 entry in The Diary of a Victorian Squire by Dearman Birchall, run through M.R. James's 1919 story "The Diary of Mr. Poynter," and surface in the film Urban Legend with its "aren't you glad you didn't turn on the lights" variant. Folklorists including Trevor Blank of SUNY Potsdam account for the tale's endurance, and its dread finds a real-world echo in Dennis Rader, the BTK strangler, who cut the phone lines at Marine Hedge's home on April 27th, 1985 and hid in her closet for hours before she returned.The episode then examines a double murder rooted in reality television, the case of the Stockdale family, who appeared on an April 23rd, 2008 episode of Wife Swap trading mothers with the easygoing Tonkovic household. Raised under a strict religious regime that banned video games, dating, and most contact with the outside world, Jacob Stockdale fatally shot his mother Kathy and his brother James in the head on June 15th, 2017 in Beach City, Ohio, then survived a self-inflicted gunshot. He pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity and tried more than once to flee the mental institution holding him, including a plan to hide behind stacks of books being carted out, but Dr. Arcangela Wood judged him sane at the time of the killings. Jacob ultimately pleaded guilty and received two consecutive 15-year terms, 30 years for the deaths of his mother and brother.The episode closes with an account written by UFO Insight's Marcus Lowth and told to him by a man he calls Steve, who first heard breathing beside his face at age three or four in 1970s Newcastle, England. The encounters escalated over the following years — an invisible finger shoving his cheek, the manifestation of a grey-haired man around 50 in an old-fashioned suit at his bedside, and a push that sent him tumbling down a full flight of stairs in daylight. When the family moved to a semi-detached house near Sheffield in Yorkshire, the presence followed, culminating one night around midnight when Steve, then eight or nine, felt invisible knees pin him to the mattress and unseen hands tighten around his throat until the grip suddenly released and the breathing drained away into the distance. It never returned, leaving unresolved whether the entity was a poltergeist drawn to a child, the lingering ghost of an old man, or something demonic that fixed on a person rather than a place.

In this fifty-eighth installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins, we return to Bluewater Falls as Kate Boyko continues to be haunted by what is looking more and more like the ghost of a woman her great-grandfather murdered, who has been exacting revenge on  pregnant women in her family for nearly a century.      Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of Scared to Death ad-free and a whole week early.
