The Mystery of the Green Children of Woolpit 10 Oct 2026

On should have been a regular sunny day, harvesters in the small town of Woolpit, England, made a strange discovery. In a pit made to trap wolves that would attack their livestock, they found two children: a young boy and his older sister. They would've been considered ordinary children if it weren't for one odd detail: their skin was a bright green color. They also didn't seem to be able to speak English or any other known language. Fortunately, one of them started learning the language and was finally able to explain where they came from. But the more the town started finding out about these children, the more the mystery grew.

For centuries, hikers and travelers have seen strange beings at the top of the Santa Lucia Mountains.

Ketell: The Young Man Who Could See Demons 03 Sep 2026

This is a lesser-known, short eerie legend of Ketell, as found on Chronicon Anglicanum by Radulphi de Coggeshall. You might recognize the chronicle's name because it's the same one where the story of the Green Children of Woolpit appears. In this story, an innocent teenager that works the fields has an encounter with small demons that are planning to scare everybody in town. He soon realizes that he's the only one that can see demons and decides to keep the secret for himself. This story reached Radulphi's ears and he documented in the book as a true account. But how terrifying is it to be able to see these evil spirits? Find Edwin on social media as @edwincov or more stories at HorrorStory.com

The Mystery of The Somerton Man 22 Aug 2026

On November 30, 1948 in South Australia, a man in a suit appeared on the beach. Despite the many efforts of detectives, scientists, and the public, the man could not be identified. What made this mystery bizarre, was that there were cryptic messages and clues that made no sense. A small rolled up piece of paper, no labels on his clothing, and no apparent signs of struggle. However, in 2022, science finally caught up with the case and the identity was revealed. But even with that information, the case still remains a mystery.

The Haunted Lagoon: Venice's Islands of Plague, Madness, and Mystery 09 Jul 2026

Venice is famous for its beautiful canals, but hidden beyond the tourist crowds lies a darker history that few visitors ever see. In this episode, we explore the infamous island of Poveglia, a place long associated with plague victims, abandoned hospitals, ghost stories, and one of Italy's most enduring paranormal legends. We separate historical fact from centuries of folklore while uncovering the truth behind claims of mass deaths, haunted bell towers, and mysterious sightings. Then we travel to San Servolo, the forgotten "Island of the Mad," where more than 200,000 psychiatric patients passed through an isolated asylum. From medieval quarantine stations to World War II atrocities, these forgotten islands reveal how Venice once hid disease, suffering, and society's outcasts just beyond its famous skyline. Are these islands truly haunted, or is history itself terrifying enough? Find Edwin as @edwincov For more of our shows, visit ScaryFM.com HorrorStory.com

The Black-Eyed Children of Abilene 26 Feb 2026

On a quiet night in 1996, a routine stop to pay an internet bill turned into one of the most infamous paranormal encounters in modern history. Two children. Coal-black eyes. And a single chilling demand: let us in. Tonight, we uncover the origin of the Black Eyed Kids. In the spring of that year, journalist Brian Bethel experienced something that would spark one of the internet’s most enduring urban legends.

In this episode, we explore the original encounter, the wave of reports that followed, and the disturbing lore surrounding what have come to be known as the Black Eyed Kids. Are they demons? Extradimensional beings? Or something even stranger? Want more free scary shows that I make?

The Skeleton Saint: Faith, Delusion, and Crime 16 Jan 2026

In this episode, we examine the disappearance of six-year-old Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, a medically fragile child who was last seen months before authorities were alerted. What started as a routine welfare check turned into a disturbing investigation involving deception, alleged abuse, and a mother who fled the country just days after being questioned. But this story doesn’t end with a manhunt. As investigators uncovered the beliefs that the mother had, attention turned to a controversial and often misunderstood folk saint: La Santa Muerte. Through anthropology, history, and firsthand accounts, we explore whether this figure represents something sinister... or whether fear and cultural bias have distorted her meaning. This episode contains sensitive material and explores themes of child harm, belief, and justice. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

Ghosts in the Fog: A True Railroad Haunting 18 Dec 2025

This episode explores how folklore, science, and persistence converged to give voice to the forgotten dead and asks whether the spirits were ever really silent.

The Ghost Sickness: True Documented Cases of Mass Spiritual Possession in Malaysia 17 Oct 2025

Horror strikes in the schools of rural Malaysia as girls suddenly begin screaming, claiming that there are evil spirits around them. And in a shoe factory, more women (up to 30 at a time) begin acting strangely and displaying supernatural strength. In another case, a Chinese family in Malaysia begins experiencing a spiritual possession; something that only a bomoh, a spiritual healer, can help with. What makes these creepy cases so bizarre is that they were studied by psychiatrists through interviews, analysis, and professional diagnosis. Even to this day, they are considered to be cases of mass spiritual possession.

How Governments Disappear Humans 11 Jul 2025

There is a chilling pattern of how governments have systematically dehumanized, displaced, and exterminated entire groups of people throughout history using bureaucratic steps. Drawing from real atrocities such as the Holocaust, the Khmer Rouge regime, the Rwandan genocide, and the Armenian genocide, as well as injustices in U.S. history like the internment of Japanese Americans and the treatment of Native and African Americans, I trace a common structure of how oppression builds: with labels, propaganda, silence, and “legal” processes. Societal fear and political power can normalize cruelty. So here's your reminder of the responsibility to notice, speak out, and act before it’s too late. Recognize familiar patterns and refuse to let history repeat itself. Get in touch on HorrorStory.com
