The topic of this week's episode is the Noppera-Bo from Japanese folklore. We share an introduction piece along with three, true scary stories.A Yōkai is a term used in Japanese folklore to refer to various supernatural beings, monsters, and spirits. These creatures can encompass a wide range of forms, from mischievous and harmless beings to malicious and dangerous entities. Yōkai are deeply ingrained in Japanese culture and have been depicted in various forms of art, literature, and entertainment throughout history. They often possess unique characteristics and abilities. Some well-known examples of Yōkai include Kitsune (a fox spirit), Tanuki (a raccoon dog spirit), Kappa (a water-dwelling creature), and Yuki-onna (a snow woman).There also exists a mysterious entity known as the Noppera-bō, known as the faceless ghost. This Yōkai assumes the form of a humanoid figure, but lacks a face. It is often misidentified as a mujina, a term hailing from ancient Japan denoting a badger or raccoon dog. Nevertheless, the Noppera-bō predominantly takes on the guise of a fellow human, concealing its true nature. Legend say that these beings possess the ability to shapeshift into Noppera-bō.Join Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEIntroduction Story OneStory TwoStory ThreeThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again on Thursday.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

The topic of this week's episode is Haunted Hospitals. We share three, true scary stories this week. Sorry it's a little short, but we are rushing to get away for a week's holiday. The night started normally, as I assessed and passed meds to the patients and did my charting and other night duties, stocking and other stuff.Just around 11 PM, one of my palliative patients started ringing complaining that there was a kid running into the room laughing and playing when they should be in bed. I checked the room to make sure there was no one in the room and reassured him that there were no children in the hospital area we were in. I made him comfortable and left the room.Join Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEStory OneStory TwoStory ThreeThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again on Thursday.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

This week's episode looks at the various entities that haunt the Ancient Ram Inn. We share an introduction to the topic and then one, scary story about a haunted pub.The Ancient Ram Inn has been standing since 1145, after being originally built as a place to house the workers, who were constructing the nearby St. Mary's Church. Gloucestershire, the county where the Ancient Ram Inn is located, seems to be a hotbed for ghostly activity. While the inn itself is known for its hauntings, it's not the only place in the area with supernatural tales to tell.Two other notable locations in Gloucestershire said to be infested with ghosts are the Woodchester Mansion and St. Briavels Castle. Now, you might be wondering if there's any connection between these three haunted spots. Well, it turns out that there might be something more to it.From an archaeological perspective, the Ancient Ram Inn holds a unique position. It's situated right on the crossroad of two key, Ley lines. Ley lines are believed to be straight lines that connect several places of geological and spiritual importance. These lines often pass through sites like prehistoric burial grounds, mystical locations such as stone circles, and even ancient churches and cathedrals.Join Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEStory OneThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again on Thursday.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Join us on this week's episode as we delve into Banshee folklore. We share an introduction to the topic and then two, scary stories related to this Irish legend. Traditionally, the banshee is believed to be a supernatural being attached to certain old Irish families, serving as both a harbinger of death and a protector of those she is bound to. This entity is often seen as a female spirit or fairy, dressed in flowing white garments, with long, wild hair and glowing eyes. Legend states that the banshee's primary role is to forewarn the imminent death of a family member. Her mournful wailing and keening are said to be heard in the dead of night, just before tragedy strikes. The chilling sound is acts as a somber reminder of mortality. Despite the association with death, the banshee is not a malevolent being. In fact, she is often regarded as a guardian or protector of her designated family. The banshee's presence is seen as a sign of respect and reverence, as she mourns the passing of a loved one and guides their soul to the afterlife. Join Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch LinkStory OneStory Two 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)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

In the depths of folklore and urban legends, there exists a peculiar creature known as the Not Deer. From afar, it may resemble an ordinary deer, but upon closer inspection, something seems amiss.The Not Deer's appearance is deceptive, mimicking that of a deer from a distance. However, as one approaches or observes it for longer, peculiar details become apparent. Its movements are often likened to those of a newborn deer, despite its adult-sized body. Witnesses have reported an uncanny agility and grace that deviates from a typical deer's behavior.Not Deers possess limbs that are noticeably longer than those of a regular deer, with some accounts suggesting the presence of additional joints. The creature's chest is often described as having a barrel-like shape, further setting it apart from its deer counterparts. These unique physical attributes contribute to the sense of otherworldliness that surrounds the Not Deer.Join Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch LinkStory OneStory TwoStory ThreeThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again on Thursday.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

This story occurred in the summer of 2008. I grew up in Oregon and was acquainted with the outdoors at an early age. My favorite hobby came to be hiking, particularly in areas that are either very dangerous or isolated. The health benefits of hiking were secondary to the thrills of walking the edges of exposed cliffs, being in cougar and bear territory, and knowing that I was far from help. *Into the Wild* was released in the fall of 2007 and I immediately fell in love. Being a high school senior, I felt imprisoned in my parent's house. A teenager with wild eyes, the movie spoke to my sense of adventure. It inspired me to hike the California portion of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) upon graduation.For the uninitiated, the PCT is a 2,700 north-south trail from the border of Mexico to that of Canada. It traverses deserts, forests, and mountains. It ranges from sea level to 13,000 feet elevation. The reason I tell you this is because needless to say, some parts of the trail are more remote than anything you can imagine. You aren't hiking outside of LA and San Francisco here. You're hiking through hundreds of miles of untamed wilderness in what is essentially the Wild West.Subscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEStories OneStories TwoThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Nestled majestically in Northern California, Mount Shasta is not only a magnificent natural wonder but also a place steeped in mystery and mythology.According to Native American tribes, Mount Shasta is considered a sacred and spiritual site. The Wintu people believe that the mountain is inhabited by powerful spirits and is the center of creation. They hold the belief that the mountain is guarded by a great spirit called Skell, who possesses immense wisdom and protects the land and its people.Skell, Spirit of the Above World, plays a significant role in the mythology of various Native American tribes, particularly in the Southwest.One of the most enduring tales surrounding Mount Shasta is that of the mystical city of Telos, said to be hidden within the mountain. According to believers, Telos is a thriving underground city inhabited by an advanced civilization known as the Lemurians. These ancient beings, the legends claim, escaped the destruction of their homeland, Lemuria, and found refuge within Mount Shasta's secret tunnels. Many claim to have encountered these Lemurians, describing them as tall, enlightened beings who impart wisdom and spiritual guidance to those who are deemed worthy.

My dad was working really late at night in his "fish farm"(as he calls it) with one of his employees. My dad and his employees were the one ones in the building. It was almost midnight and my dad's "farm" was actually a small house but is purposely built to house fish tanks. The house is surrounded by trees from all sides, making it very dark outside. Anyway, they were packing up some fishes to import when suddenly, the bell rang. Now this was almost midnight so it's really strange that someone would visit at the hour, but my dad sent his employee to check. There was no one outside. My dad thought it was just some kids trolling so he and his employee went back to work. After a few minutes, the bell rang again. This time, my dad checked the bell himself but no one was there. By that time they were getting frustrated but they went to continue their work. After a few minutes, it rang again. My dad thought the bell was broken so he checked. Then he remembered that the bell was unplugged by one of his employees to be repaired the next day, because it was broken and cannot be used.Subscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEStories One and TwoStories Three and FourStory FiveThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

The Ghost Month is a traditional Chinese festival rooted in Buddhist and Taoist beliefs. This annual event, typically observed in the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar, is a time when it is believed that the gates of the underworld open, releasing the spirits of the deceased to roam the earthly realm. The Ghost Month is a cultural phenomenon that provides valuable insight into the Chinese perception of life, death, and the metaphysical world, embodying the essence of filial piety, respect for ancestors, and the interplay of fear and reverence towards the supernatural.Alongside the ghost month, the hungry ghost festival is held on the the 15th day of the seventh lunar month (this year falling on the 30th August) In Chinese Heritage in the Making: Experiences, Negotiations, and Contestations, scholar Selina Ching Chan writes The Festival "involves various rituals aimed at appeasing the hungry ghosts and providing them with offerings. People make food offerings, burn incense and joss paper and set up temporary altars or stages for performances. These offerings are meant to provide nourishment and fulfill the needs of the wandering spirits,”**Please note that we will now be releasing Sunday's episode to Monday in the future**Join Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Link OneResearch Link TwoStory One - RetellingThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again on Thursday.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

I am a 100% science-based skeptic who experienced something I can't explain at my office in late May of this year. I need to know if there is anyone out there that has experienced an encounter like mine. Due to the pandemic my office building that normally accommodates 1000+ employees has largely been empty save for reduced security teams, maintenance personnel, cleaning staff and a handful of mission critical employees of which I am one.On May 28th at 1:10 pm I was sitting at my desk, the lone employee at the far end of one of many large, empty 'cubicle city' suites. Despite the emptiness, the fluorescent lighting and outer wall windows provide a comforting brightness. The creepiness factor is supplied by the multitude of small whiteboards hanging outside cubicle entrances all marked with the same date: March 16, 2020, the day of evacuation. On this particular day I was reading emails when I heard very distinct heavy footsteps in an almost jogging gait approach my cubicle entrance and stopped abruptly. I looked up expecting to see a maintenance person. Instead there was no one there.Subscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEStory OneStory TwoThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Hello everyone, this will be the last episode we release on a Sunday until we return week commencing 14th August 2023!There Charon stands, who rules the dreary coast –A sordid god: down from his hairy chinA length of beard descends, uncombed, unclean;His eyes, like hollow furnaces on fire;A girdle, foul with grease, binds his obscene attireVirgil, Aeneid 6.298–301, as translated by John Dryden.In Greek mythology, Charon, also known as the Ferryman of Hades, holds a prominent place as the guardian and transporter of the souls of the deceased across the river Styx. This legendary figure plays a crucial role in the afterlife beliefs of the ancient Greeks, offering a fascinating glimpse into their mythology and understanding of death.According to myth, the river Styx formed the boundary between the mortal realm and the underworld, where the souls of the dead resided. To reach the realm of Hades, the god of the underworld, one had to cross the river Styx. This is where Charon came into play. He was tasked with ferrying the souls of the deceased across the river, allowing them to enter the realm of the dead.Join Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Link OneResearch Link TwoStory OneThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again in a couple of weeks for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Growing up I always loved movies and shows regarding the paranormal. Ghost movies really are the only form of horror I ever found scary as I've always believed there was something real to the idea of hauntings. Feeling this way I've always been so curious to have my own paranormal experience to truly judge for myself.After hurricane Katrina my family and I were left refugees with no home. My brother was a little older and went back to New Orleans to stay with my godparents and work. My parents took jobs as traveling health care workers. I was approximately 16 or 17 at the time. My mother took an assignment working for a nursing home in north Tennessee on the Tennessee-Kentucky border. Her travel company put her up in a rental cabin in the woods and her and I and her 2 dogs went to stay.Subscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEStory One Story Two Thanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

This story follows my encounter over a period of years with the paranormal. I have always been a believer in the after life, but also a skeptic. I always knew something was there, trying to communicate with the living...but I didn't know what...until Zozo. Also, I must add that this is a somewhat recent event...it all took place late September early October.Now, to start this off, I have to add that my family has always been fascinated with the paranormal. When I was younger my family would always sit down together and watch shows such as Ghost Hunters and Ghost adventurers. We found the evidence they captures fascinating...and wanted to find out on our own if any of it were true.Subscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEStory OneThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Zozo, a formidable and renowned entity of the supernatural realm, holds a prominent position amongst the pantheon of demonic beings.

Late on a school night, around 9pm, the road was saturated in a dense white fog. But the moonlight managed to pierce through, casting an eerie glow. Inside my red CRV, I had Allie and Jonah with me. Jonah had never heard of the infamous Dudleytown, so Allie and I decided to take him there and show him what all the fuss was about.Deep in the remote hills of Northwest Connecticut lay an abandoned town known as Dudleytown. It had gained a reputation for being cursed, isolated from the rest of society. Early settlers in the 17th century had established their homes on this vast stretch of land. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when all the children in town died under mysterious circumstances. This led to a mass exodus, leaving behind empty houses and deserted farms.Now, Dudleytown stood as an overgrown hill, casting its long shadow on the valley. It was protected by the enigmatic Dark Woods Society.As we ascended the hill in my car, I leaned back, pressing the pedal firmly due to the steep incline. The road soon transitioned into a rugged path, with rocks flying up in our wake. Finally reaching the top, I switched off my headlights and parked the car beside a bush.Subscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEStory One - RetellingStory Two - RetellingThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Nestled deep within the remote corners of northwestern Connecticut, concealed by towering mountains and obscured by the relentless passage of time, lies a forgotten hamlet known as Dudleytown. Once teeming with life and vitality, the echoes of this vibrant community have long faded, leaving behind a haunting emptiness. But within the dense forest and jagged rocks, whispers of spectral apparitions, malevolent entities, ancient curses, and a story that even predates the very essence of America lingers.In the present day, mere remnants of cellar holes and weathered stone foundations stubbornly endure. The once bustling roads that meandered towards this town have dwindled into frail footpaths, reserved only for the intrepid few who dare to venture further - be it the adventurous souls seeking solace in nature's embrace or the occasional seeker of the supernatural. Despite the ominous warning, the inquisitive still summon the courage to tread upon Dark Entry Road, daring to penetrate the enshrouded woods under the cloak of night. As the 19th century dawned, the forsaken streets of Dudleytown lay abandoned, their dark reputation spreading like wildfire, earning the ominous title of America's Village of the Damned.Subscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch LinkResearch LinkStory One Retelling of this storyStory Two Retelling of this storyThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Bloody Mary - This phrase was taught to me in the 1st grade by a couple of my idiot classmates. To a six year old boy, almost everything really, terrified me. These two acquaintances of mine informed me, in graphic detail, about the legend of Bloody Mary.“Here’s what you gotta do,” they said, “When you’re home alone after midnight; lock all the doors; turn off all the lights in the house. Go into your room. Turn off that light when you get in there. After the light is off, say ‘Bloody Mary’ three times.”Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary…Subscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEStory OneStory Two - RetellingThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

The legend of Bloody Mary tells the story of a ghostly figure who appears when summoned in front of a mirror. According to folklore, Bloody Mary was a witch named Mary Worth.Mary's reputation had spread throughout her village, with many assuming her to be a witch as she lived in a small cabin within the forest and sold tinctures and herbal remedies. The locals kept their distance from her, fearing that any interaction with her would result in a curse on themselves or their animals. Those who used her remedies were shunned by the community, leaving Mary to live a life of isolation.Before long, young girls began to vanish mysteriously. Despite their best efforts, the villagers scoured every inch of the area, but found no trace of the missing children. A group of brave souls even dared to venture towards Bloody Mary's cabin in hopes of finding answers but the witch denied any involvement in the disappearances. Strangely, Bloody Mary's appearance had changed drastically; once elderly and worn, she now appeared more youthful and feminine, but despite their suspicions, there seemed to be little they could do.Subscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch LinkStory One Retelling of this storyStory TwoStory Three Retelling of this storyThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Cannock Chase is a paranormal hotspot in the West Midlands. Its breathtaking beauty even had a profound impact on the acclaimed author of The Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien, and the vast forest is also believed to house several legendary and mythical creatures.According to local lore, numerous paranormal and ghostly entities wander through the dense woods. Many hikers have claimed to have seen or heard these specters, including the Black Eyed Child, UFO's, big cats and Pig Man.Nestled in Staffordshire, approximately 19 miles north of Birmingham, lies the ancient forest with a rich history dating back over a millennium. Once a reserved ground for royal hunting, it became an unlikely home to a German prisoner-of-war camp during World War I. The forest served as a training ground during both world wars, with remnants of these facilities still present today.Spanning across an area of 50 square miles, this forest consists of dense trees and shrubby heathland. Functioning as a productive timber plantation, it also serves as a preferred destination among hikers and cyclists seeking to explore the wilderness.Subscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Link Story OneResearch Link Story TwoThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

WEREWOLVES | TRUE SCARY FOLKLOREThroughout European folklore, the werewolf is a prevalent concept that has taken on many variations. These interpretations share a common thread: a Christian interpretation of European folklore that evolved during the medieval period. As colonialism took hold in the New World during the early modern era, werewolf beliefs also spread. The belief in werewolves and witches developed concurrently during the Late Middle Ages and the early modern period. The trial of supposed werewolves emerged in Switzerland, particularly in the Valais and Vaud regions, in the early 15th century, eventually spreading throughout Europe in the 16th century. The trials reached their peak in the 17th century before eventually subsiding by the 18th century.Subscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch LinkStory One Story OneStory Two Story TwoThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

POLTERGEISTS | TRUE SCARY FOLKLOREA poltergeist is a type of ghost or spirit that is believed to be responsible for physical disturbances, such as objects moving or being thrown, doors opening and closing, and unexplained noises. The word poltergeist comes from the German words "poltern," which means to make noise, and "geist," which means ghost or spirit.Poltergeists are often associated with homes or buildings that have a history of paranormal activity, and they are believed to be attracted to places with high emotional energy, such as homes where there has been a recent death or trauma. They are also believed to be more active during times of stress or emotional turmoil.Teenagers are often believed to be particularly susceptible to poltergeist activity. This is because adolescence is a time of significant emotional and physical changes, and teenagers may be more prone to stress, anxiety, and other emotional disturbances. Additionally, teenagers may unknowingly trigger poltergeist activity through the use of Ouija boards, séances, or other forms of paranormal experimentation.In general, vampires were believed to be reanimated corpses of evil beings, suicides, or witches. They could also be created through possession by malevolent spirits or through the bite of another vampire. The belief in these creatures was so widespread that it sometimes led to mass hysteria and even public executions of people suspected of being vampires.Subscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch LinkRetelling of this StoryThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

In the 1960s, Vampires were all the rage, with numerous movies and TV shows exploring the horror genre. This obsession had seeped into the public consciousness, making the news of a disturbing act of vandalism at Tottenham Park Cemetery in 1968 even more unsettling. The London Evening Standard reported the incident, and many Londoners immediately jumped to the conclusion that it must be linked to black magic and the undead.Subscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch LinkResearch LinkVampire Burial?Thanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

The Fae | British FolkloreThe Fae, also known as fairies or faeries, are mythical creatures that appear in the folklore of many cultures, particularly in Celtic mythology. They are often depicted as small, magical beings with wings, who live in a hidden world that is separate from ours.Fairy folklore from Britain has long been classified in various ways. These categorizations, usually derived from scholarly analysis, may not always be in tune with the traditional beliefs of local communities. Generally, these divisions are based on the behavior or physical traits of the fairies.In Celtic mythology, faeries have been divided into two distinct groups: the Seelie Court and the Unseelie Court. This is known to be the most famous division of fairies, as noted by D.L. Ashliman (an American folklorist). The Seelie Court consists of benevolent fairies that are known to be kind to humans, often returning favors for any kindness shown to them. Although they are known to be gentle, they will take vengeance on those who insult them. On the other hand, the Unseelie Court is often seen as the dark side of faeries. They are known to be malevolent, wreaking havoc without provocation, and are closely associated with witches.Subscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITERetelling of this StoryThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

THE RAKE | SCARY FOLKLOREAs the sun slowly dips below the horizon and the trees band together in clusters, as if bracing themselves for the impending darkness, you move briskly and silently across the ground littered with fallen leaves and twigs. You take note of every sound, every rustle and snap of branches caused by your own footsteps. You pick up your pace, aware that something other than the night is drawing near. The sound grows louder as your steps become quicker and your heart beats ever faster. You stop suddenly and turn around to face whatever is stalking you. You catch a glimpse in the dimming light of the crawling figure that is hunting you.  It moves like an animal yet appears to be disturbingly human like. You only see it for a moment, but it is enough to make you bolt in terror. One glimpse is all it takes.Subscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEThanks so much all for letting us share your stories!Research LinkStory One Story TwoStory ThreeThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

WALPURGISNACHT | WITCH'S NIGHT | EUROPEAN SCARY FOLKLOREWe're Back!I'd like to apologise for a few mispronunciations in this episode, my brain is muckfuddled! I'm blaming the menobrain... Walpurgisnacht is a thinning period, one of a few points of the year when the veil between the living and the dead, the seen and the unseen, the land of the fae folk and that of humans dissipates. This period has its origins in the ancient Celtic sabbat of Beltane, a festival of fire, that was celebrated throughout Europe to welcome spring and the turning of the wheel. During this stage one can more easily commune with our ancestors but, as such, one must be mindful of malevolent entities who may be lurking in the dark corners as this transitional period, brings them closer to our world, the world of the living.Subscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEThanks so much all for letting us share your stories!Research LinksOneTwoThreeFourThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xx🪺"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.
