Deep in the quiet hills of Moodus, Connecticut, the ground groans, rumbles, and roars. For centuries, locals have heard the infamous “Moodus Noises”, phantom booms that shake the earth without warning. To the Indigenous people, they were the voice of angry spirits. To early colonists, they were a curse from the Devil himself. Scientists call them microquakes—but even they can’t explain the chilling frequency, nor why the sounds sometimes seem to happen when no seismic activity exists. In this episode, we’re digging into the legends, the history, and the science behind one of New England’s oldest and creepiest mysteries.

In 1974, a brutal family murder shook a quiet Long Island town.

The story became one of the most infamous hauntings in American history — The Amityville Horror.
But how much of it was real? And how much was myth, media, and money? Join the gang as we dive into the murders of the DeFeo family, the haunting that followed, and why Amityville’s story refuses to die.

Towns left pies on fence posts like offerings. Kids would drop everything to watch him pass. And yet, no one ever really knew who he was, where he came from, or why he walked.
In this episode of Weirder After Dark, we dive into the haunting legend of the Leatherman: a silent drifter who became a local myth in his own lifetime. Was he running from somethingor toward it?

In this episode, we dig into the chilling history and eerie lore behind The Dash, Maine’s most famous ghost ship. Was it a victim of hubris? A maritime tragedy? Or something stranger still—cursed to haunt the coast forever?

Just off the coast of Maine lies a jagged, wind-battered rock called Boon Island.
In 1710, a British ship wrecked there in the dead of winter. The survivors—freezing, starving, and surrounded by nothing but ocean—were pushed past the brink. What happened next became one of the darkest survival stories in New England history.
But the island’s horror didn’t end with the shipwreck. Years later, a lighthouse keeper and his wife stationed on Boon Island suffered a loss so devastating, locals say their grief never left… and neither did she.
Today, some claim to see her shadow still pacing the tower—waiting. Watching.
This week on Weirder After Dark, we explore Boon Island’s brutal past, haunted present, and the chilling stories that prove not every ghost comes from war… some come from love.

They called her a witch. She called the shots—even from the grave.
In this episode, we’re heading to Monroe, Connecticut, to meet Hanna Cranna—New England’s most delightfully petty alleged witch. Known for cursing neighbors, hexing pies, and issuing some seriously spooky funeral instructions, Hanna wasn’t your average 19th-century widow.
We’ll dig into the real woman behind the legend (Hannah Hovey), explore how her eerie reputation took root, and ask the big questions: Was she truly magical, or just masterful at controlling a town that feared her?
From flying rumors to coffin drama, this is the story of the witch who didn’t just haunt Monroe—she hexed her way into it's history.
