In this week’s episode, we take a look at South African folklore. From the Grootslang to the Uniondale Hitchhiker roaming lonely roads at night. We also cover the urban legend of Pinky Pinky, the terrifying presence said to lurk in school bathrooms, targeting those who dare to enter alone. Are these stories mere folklore passed down through generations, or could there be more to these haunting apparitions than meets the eye? Tune in as we take a look at some of South Africa's creepy lore. The BO...

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the spooky folklore surrounding the Fetch, a spectral double said to be an omen of death in Irish mythology. We’ll explore some historical tales of people encountering their own fetch or the fetch of someone close to them, and what these encounters might signify. Are they warnings from another realm, or simply tricks of the mind? Is it just folklore passed down through generations, or could there be more to these haunting apparitions than meets the eye? ...

This week's extra episode takes a look at the intriguing world of paranormal experiments, starting with the Philip Experiment conducted in the 1970s by Dr. A.R.G. Owen and the Toronto Society for Psychical Research. The experiment aimed to test whether a fictional ghost could be created through the collective belief of a group. By inventing a character, Philip Aylesford, and holding séances, the group triggered seemingly paranormal phenomena, such as table movements and knocking sounds, which we...

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into something both strange and fascinating: the Mandela Effect. It’s named after the widespread belief that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 1980s, a memory a lot of people share, even though it never actually happened. This bizarre phenomenon makes us wonder how reliable our memories really are, and maybe even if reality is as solid as we think. We’ve also got two stories lined up that will really get you thinking - a forgotten school friend who seems t...

In this week's extra episode, we have one long piece on the Triora Witch Trials, often called the Salem of Europe. We dive into the dark and chilling history of this medieval Ligurian town, where paranoia and fear led to one of Italy’s most infamous witch hunts. We explore how a deadly famine in the late 1500s fuelled accusations of witchcraft, scapegoating women for crop failures and misfortunes. The trials uncovered alleged covens, sinister rituals, and supernatural curses, with tales of midni...
