Three terrifying stories about clowns, carnies, and ghosts.
Anonymous stories sent in by listeners.
STORY ONE: The Mirror’s Grasp (Anonymous)
Location: California County Fair
Mia was just looking for a thrill in a faded red-and-yellow Fun House, but she found something that shouldn't exist: a clown with "dead" black eyes who knew her name before she ever spoke it.
When Mia entered the mirror maze, she thought she was alone—until a cold hand grabbed her wrist. After a narrow escape, security guards went in to investigate. They never came back out. Is the spirit of "Rusty," a predatory carny from 1957, still claiming "pretty girls" in the dark? This true scary clown story sent in by an anonymous listener is made with raw fear.
STORY TWO: The Time-Warp Wheel (Anonymous)
Location: Texas County Fair
Tyler and his friends were stuck at the top of a Ferris wheel for over an hour, watching two carnies engage in a brutal, bloody brawl below. When they finally got down, they realized only five minutes had passed.
In 1998, a tragic accident stopped the wheel; today, the ride "remembers." This harrowing account explores a glitch in time where the past plays on a loop, trapping riders in a screaming nightmare while the rest of the world moves on without them. Round and round they go in this terrifying, allegedly true crime horror story sent in by an anonymous listener. It's another glitch-in-the-matrix.
STORY THREE: The Faceless Visitor
Location: California (Anonymous)
A sixteen-year-old girl wakes up to find a faceless, swirling mass of smoke standing at the foot of her bed. She tries to scream, but the air is too "thick" for sound to travel.
It felt like a nightmare until the sun came down. This story documents the physical evidence of a supernatural encounter: a "classic ice burn" that appeared overnight without a source. Years later, the mark remains—and so does the terrifying inability to scream when the air turns heavy. Was it a demon? The Hatman? Something spookier?
STORY FOUR: The Blue Glow of the Forest Trees
Location: San Francisco Bay Area Woods
During a 2015 hike, two friends witnessed a shimmering gray entity "melting" into the trees, causing the branches to glow with an eerie blue light. When it turned its attention toward them, the consequences were life-altering.
After a floating entity "poured" into her chest, Trina fell into a three-day coma. She woke up with no memory of the event, but with a new, chilling gift: "Previews." This documentary-style account explores what happens when a human becomes a vessel for a forest-dwelling force that hasn't finished its work.
Let us know if you think these were some kind of alien or unknown being or entity. A ghost of a tree? What was it doing?
