First, a samurai trades devotion for status and returns years later to a house swallowed by weeds and wind. The scene glows with a single candle, a familiar silhouette, and hair so black it seems to drink the light. Morning peels away the com...

Ever notice how a building breathes differently after a fresh coat of paint—and how the air seems to carry older voices when the lights dim? We lean into spooky season with a trip through Baker City’s restored Geyser Grand Hotel and along the wind-bitten cliffs below the Heceta Head Lighthouse, weaving jokes, folklore, and lived experience into a single thread: when you revive a place, you often wake the stories sleeping inside it. Our path starts in a boomtown where stained glass and mahoga...

The boundaries of human consciousness remain one of our greatest mysteries. In this mind-expanding conversation, we journey into the fascinating world of non-local consciousness and remote viewing—the ability to perceive information about distant or unseen targets using only the mind. We share remarkable sto...

Kevin Chang joins us from Oahu to explore one of Hawaii's most enduring supernatural phenomena: the Night Marchers (Huaka'i Po). These ghostly apparitions of ancient Hawaiian warriors announce their presence with pounding war drums and conch shells as they march between ...

This week, we venture into the mysterious world of Slavic folklore to discover creatures both terrifying and protective.

His inadvertent use...
Step into the mysterious world of Mesoamerican mythology with Dr. Kitsune, Odd Bob, and Saoirse as they explore two fascinating supernatural beings that have captivated imaginations for centuries.

What would you sacrifice for perfect artistic inspiration? The ancient Irish knew this dangerous bargain well through legends of the Lianhan Shee - a fairy muse who grants extraordinary creative vision while slowly draining your life force.

His bargain transforms his art into something transcendent bu...
Step into the shadowy bamboo groves and misty valleys of Japanese folklore with the Uncanny Coffee Hour as we explore two fascinating supernatural entities—the haunting Nigawari and the mischievous Tanuki.

Our first tale follows young Hana as she discovers her sister falling under this spirit's influence, teaching us that sometimes the most uncanny horrors are the ones ...
Cold spirits on a spring evening and tales that chill the blood—welcome to a journey through the spectral world of Yurei, the distinctive ghosts of Japanese folklore. Unlike their Western counterparts, these spirits carry their stories visibly in their appearance: white burial robes, trailing black hair, and an unmistakable air of unfinished business. The Snow Woman, or Yuki-onna, emerges from the winter mists as one of Japan's most haunting figures. Beautiful yet deadly, she drifts above th...
What if everything you thought you knew about Bigfoot was filtered through a colonial lens? Donovan Yazzie, a Diné (Navajo) storyteller, completely transforms our understanding of these forest beings by sharing ancestral knowledge about "Ye'i Tso" - what Western culture calls Sasquatch. Far from mere campfire tales, Donovan reveals how these beings have been integral to Navajo survival and spiritual understanding. He recounts forgotten histories: a small girl during military persecution who ...
The veil between our world and the unexplained grows thin as Donovan, a Diné (Navajo) man, leads us into the shadowy realm of Ye'i Tso—the Navajo name for Sasquatch. Growing up in Monument Valley where mystery shrouds the landscape day and night, Donovan's childhood was filled with elders' stories told by firelight in his native language, warnings about what lurks beyond the safety of home after dark. With striking clarity, Donovan recounts his unforgettable encounter at age 18 when what he ...
