One night in Dover, a creature would be seen that would ABSOLUTELY TERRIFY the locals. Seen next to a road, a straight line could be drawn based on sightings as to what it was. However, as it was tracked, it became apparent that whatever it was, wasn't supposed to be here. But what does that mean concerning what it is? Lets discuss that in todays episode!

*Folks, this IS a Tangent Heavy episode. So if you're someone vehemently against taking the scenic route, you will almost certainly not enjoy this episode (or 90% of this show if we're being honest). Toodles.* There's something about urban legends that sticks to the skin. You hear them once—around a campfire, at a sleepover, whispered down a darkened hallway—and they never quite leave you. They're the stories we half-believe, even when we swear we don't. The ones we dare each other to test, knowing deep down that something might be listening. This week, we're pulling back the curtain on some of the most infamous legends that have haunted us for generations. But these aren't just stories told to scare. Behind each one lies a sliver of truth—a real event, a real person, a real moment in time when the ordinary world cracked open and let something else in. From a killer lurking in lovers' lanes with a hook for a hand, to a man in a rabbit suit wielding an axe in the woods of Virginia… from ghostly girls who vanish from car seats to the blood-soaked face you might just see staring back from your mirror—these tales didn't come from nowhere. And tonight, we're digging up the roots. So sit back, Settle in, And remember—every legend starts with someone, somewhere, who swears… it really happened. We'll see you on the inside… ----- TIME STAMPS: 0:00 - The True Stories Behind Urban Legends 1:03 - Intro 2:23 - Let's Talk Urban Legends  2:46 - Support The Show, Share & Socials 4:56 - Did You Have a Local Urban Legend?

In this episode of Horror Joy, we turn back time to solve the puzzle of the first three films of the Final Destination franchise, exploring the ways they engage with the horrors of the new millennium, its politics, and its technologies. The series' horrors are doubled when we realize that the first film starts off with an exploding plane, uncannily anticipating the 9/11 terrorist attacks that fundamentally reshaped the United States of America, the Middle East, and the geopolitics of never-ending surveillance due to the specter of terrorism.They discuss:·      How these films reflect the anxieties of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, including the twin specters of Y2K and the 9/11 terrorist attacks.·      How the themes of technology, societal change, and existential dread, show up differently in each film·      The role of Tony Todd's (Bludworth) character as a potential personification of death·      And reflect on how the trilogy evolved into a commentary on the modern human condition.So, charge your camera batteries and death proof your rusty fishing hooks because the roller coaster is about to leave the station. It's your last chance to get off the ride. But don't worry, we'll remember your place in line.William Stevenson.

Her story shifts across time and region, tangled in ideas of ancestry, grief, and death itself.This unsettling figure has followed generations through the centuries but just what is she? and what does she want with us?Text Me (this is 3rd party & I cannot respond, but I see all messages)Support the showIf you have more information or a correction on something mentioned in this chapter, email us at luke@lukemordue.com.

Send us a textThe anniversary of one of the greatest films ever made. An urban legend surrounding a video game that was likely never made. Television episodes that traumatized 80s kids.Episode 201 kicks off summer with Gen-X nostalgia to keep you entertained while soaking in the sun.It begins by scaring you out of the water as we look back at the classic movie Jaws for its 50th anniversary. A killer shark stalks beachgoers and, in doing so, creates the 'summer blockbuster' movie. We do a deep dive into the origins of the film and what makes it stand the test of time so well.We go way back in the day and down a rabbit hole as we look for the origins of a lesser-known 80s urban legend. Polybius was a video game that was said to cause mental and physical issues for its players, but did it exist at all? That is the question that we try to find the answer to. Childhood trauma is on the menu in this week's Top 5. Sitcoms are supposed to make us laugh. In the 1980s and 1990s, though every now and then they terrified us. These were the 'very special' television episodes that tackled more serious issues. We will go through some and open up old wounds.There is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the first single released by the legendary Stevie Wonder.Become a supporter on Patreon! $5/mo. gets you access to bonus podcast episodes and more!Helpful Links from this EpisodePurchase My New Book Cape Cod Beyond the Beach!In My Footsteps: A Cape Cod Travel Guide(2nd Edition)Hooked By Kiwi - Etsy.comDJ Williams MusicKeeKee's Cape Cod KitchenChristopher Setterlund.comCape Cod Living - Zazzle StoreSubscribe on YouTube!Initial Impressions 2.0 BlogWebcam Weekly Wrapup PodcastCJSetterlundPhotos on EtsySerenading RomeroListen to Episode 200 hereVolleybird Subscription BoxesVolleybird.shop for curated pickleball subscription boxes delivered every 8 weeks Volleybird Subscription BoxesVolleybird.shop for curated pickleball subscription boxes delivered every 8 weeksSupport the show

Ever wondered why that technically brilliant hire turned out to be your biggest management headache? In our fascinating conversation Scott and Tammy reveal the critical blind spot in most hiring processes that leads organizations to repeatedly bring on problematic employees.The shocking truth? Skills and experience account for just 10-12% of what determines someone's success in your organization. Yet most companies stubbornly focus their entire hiring process on these technical qualifications while neglecting the behavioral aspects that truly determine workplace fit. This fundamental disconnect explains why organizations routinely find themselves terminating employees not for skill deficiencies but for being "jerks at work."Through a practical exercise exploring the HR Director role, Scott and Tammy demonstrate how organizations readily address skill gaps through development or termination, but frequently tolerate destructive behaviors that damage team dynamics and organizational culture. They also debunk a pervasive HR urban legend – that legally compliant interviews must use identical questions for every candidate – which prevents interviewers from truly understanding potential hires.The solution? A more dynamic, human-centered approach to interviewing that explores not just what candidates can do, but who they are, what they value, and how they'll behave in your unique environment. When you align behaviors and values with technical qualifications, retention and performance dramatically improve. Ready to transform your hiring success rate from 12% to 80%? Listen now to discover exactly how to interview for the whole human, not just their resume.

Send us a textAuthenticity versus fabrication takes center stage as Dee Billy addresses the swirling rumors about a supposed street confrontation with someone known as Boyo. With unflinching directness, Dee Billy dismantles claims that Boyo ever "backed out" on him or had any direct altercation, calling such stories pure imagination from someone desperate for street credibility."This clout chasing is crazy," Dee Billy states early in the conversation, setting the tone for a raw, unfiltered discussion about the dangers of false narratives in street culture. The supposed confrontation—where Boyo claimed to have pulled a weapon on Dee Billy only to receive a cool, collected response—never happened according to Dee Billy. "He ain't never had no direct run ins with me ever," he emphasizes repeatedly, revealing that the only real situation involved someone else's beef entirely, with Boyo's own family members contacting Dee Billy asking to leave him alone.What makes this conversation particularly compelling is how Dee Billy addresses the broader implications of such fabrications. He challenges listeners to find anyone who could truthfully claim they've ever "punked" him without facing consequences, whether "from the street or in jail." His reputation speaks for itself among those who truly know the culture. As the conversation winds down, Dee Billy issues a direct challenge to Boyo: "If he really want to make his imagination true, man, come outside. Stop making it up." For those who value authenticity in a world where social media allows anyone to craft a false persona, this conversation serves as a powerful reminder of what real street credibility actually means.
