A Collection of Haunting Scary Stories | Two Lies & a Legend

Can you spot a genuine "glitch in reality" before the nightmare ends? In this special episode of Mystery Date, Christian challenges Kate to a high-stakes game of "Two Lies and a Legend." We’re diving into three bone-chilling accounts of the paranormal, but there’s a catch: only one of these stories is a documented historical case.

The other two? Terrifying deceptions perfected to blur the line between history and horror.

Tonight’s Three Mysterious Tales:

The Hollow Child of Blackwood (Maine): A 1994 home renovation reveals a faceless Victorian doll hidden behind a chimney flue. Stuffed with hundreds of human baby teeth and a mummified tongue, was it a ritualistic vessel for the "sickness" of the dead?

The Hum of Old Stand Ridge (Tennessee): A 1998 geological survey team encounters a low-frequency hum that causes physical distress and "static-like" visual distortions in the forest. When audio recorders capture phantom iron chains, the government seals the ridge for good.

The Bélmez Faces (Spain): In 1971, Maria Pereira discovered a face staring up from her kitchen floor. Even after the floor was excavated and the room sealed with wax, the faces moved, changed, and multiplied.

THE SMURL FAMILY HAUNTING

When you think of a haunting, you might imagine a creaky floorboard or a fleeting shadow. But for the Smurl family of West Pittston, Pennsylvania, the nightmare was far more physical—and far more aggressive.

What started as a kitchen remodel quickly spiraled into fifteen years of terror that would gain national attention. In this episode of Mystery Date, we descend into one of the most documented and controversial hauntings in American history.

This week, we stepped out of the safety of our studio and spent Valentine’s Day inside a haunted asylum. Instead of just talking about the paranormal, we put ourselves right in the middle of it and pushed far beyond our comfort zones.

From the chilling history of the seminary to the investigations we carried out deep within its halls, this is without a doubt the most intense episode of Mystery Date yet.

A lot of time, effort, and love went into making this video, and we truly couldn’t have done it without the friends who joined us and helped throughout the night.

Join Christian and Kate as they continue the Amityville story, shifting from the 1974 murders to the 28 days that turned 112 Ocean Avenue into a global phenomenon. After George and Kathleen Lutz moved into the Long Island home in December 1975, they claimed to experience escalating disturbances, from the infamous 3:15 a.m. wake-ups and icy cold rooms to the red-eyed figure known as “Jodie.”

In this episode, we break down the Lutz family’s timeline of events, the blessing of the house, their sudden flight after less than a month, and the investigation led by Ed and Lorraine Warren. We also examine the famous photograph, the séance inside the home, and the skepticism that followed. Was Amityville truly haunted, or did fear, media, and opportunity collide to create one of the most debated paranormal cases in history?

Join Christian and Kate as they examine the real crime behind one of the most infamous haunted houses in America. Before the red eyes in the windows, before the bestselling books and horror films, there were six murders inside a quiet suburban home at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York.

In this episode, we focus on the DeFeo family and the events of November 13, 1974. We explore the troubled life of Ronald “Butch” DeFeo Jr., the violence that reportedly simmered inside the household, the investigation that followed the killings, and the evidence that led to his conviction. This is the documented history — the police reports, the courtroom testimony, and the unanswered questions that remain.

Before Amityville became a story about hauntings, it was a homicide case that shocked Long Island and left a house forever marked by tragedy.

Join Christian and Kate as they pull back the curtain on the art of ghost hunting. Long before night-vision cameras, EMF meters, and paranormal TV shows, people were already investigating the dead. Philosophers, priests, scientists, and skeptics all asked the same unsettling question: what happens if something doesn’t stay gone?
