    The Beating Heart in the Closet: Stories From My Grandmother's House
    Mar 12 2026
    In this true scary story, we hear about eerie childhood memories inside James' grandmother’s house in Corpus Christi, Texas. There, he experienced paranormal encounters that seemed to follow him into adulthood. Tonight, he shares a lifetime of unexplained experiences. Strange noises in dark hallways, religious statues turning overnight, shadow figures, and an object brought back from Iraq that may have carried something with it. Was it a haunting tied to a place… or something far more personal?

  • Alone on the Ridge: A Midnight Mystery in Washington’s Backcountry

    Alone on the Ridge: A Midnight Mystery in Washington’s Backcountry
    Mar 6 2026
    In 2008, a hunter scouting for an upcoming elk season deep in the Blue Mountains of Washington planned nothing more than a quiet night alone in the wilderness. But after falling asleep on a remote ridge, he woke to a pounding, unexplained headache and struggled to catch his breath. As he tried to figure out what was happening to his body, an eerie whooping call began echoing through the darkness, coming from a large animal that seemed to be challenging him.

  • The Demon in the Hallway: 30 Years of Paranormal Encounters

    The Demon in the Hallway: 30 Years of Paranormal Encounters
    Feb 26 2026
    In this true scary story, we hear from Breanna. Growing up in Waco, Texas, our caller believed the strange activity in her home was just childhood imagination until it followed her across state lines, through new houses, and into adulthood. From shadow figures and whispered voices to a terrifying shared encounter in an Amish home… and then from violent energy inside her brother’s room to a presence that seemed to want her at Cameron Park’s infamous Witches Castle… the experiences continued spanning nearly 30 years.
    This is a layered, deeply personal account of recurring entities, drained energy, and something that may have attached itself long ago.
