The Telltale Bite (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE)
12/04/23: One summer day in 1978, a man came home from work to his house in a nice neighborhood in Illinois. He went inside the front door and called out to his wife, but she didn’t call back. The man looked around the house and was annoyed that it was so dirty. His wife had said she was going to spend the day cleaning, and it seemed like she had not. But after searching the house, he had not found his wife yet, and so he started to wonder if she was okay. The only place left to check for her was in the basement, so he opened the door and began walking down the stairs. When he got down there, he would come face-to-face with a nightmare.

The Muse (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE)
12/11/23: Late one night in the spring of 1937, a young woman stumbled into her apartment building, drunk after a long night of partying with friends. She made her way up the steps, and reached her apartment door. And after she opened it up, she stepped inside, and her little dog ran up to her and she gave it a little pat, and then she walked toward her bedroom. But the moment she stepped foot into that pitch black room, something felt off. It was too quiet. But before she could figure out what was going on, something heavy came flying out of the darkness and hit her on the face. For a moment, the woman just stood there stunned. Then a second later, hands emerged from the darkness. [Source: Amazon]
Beyond the Veil
12/14/23: There are certain stories that legitimately just seem too strange to be true, and today’s story is definitely one of those. But when you get to the end of the story, you will see that a major American educational institution fact-checked this story really aggressively, and it held up… it really happened. So, go into today’s very wild story with an open mind. [Source: Amazon]

Open Wounds (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE)
12/18/23: On the night of August 22nd, 2004, in an extremely affluent neighborhood in Florida, millionaire lawyer John Sutton dragged himself across the floor of his bedroom. He couldn’t see anything, and his head was in agonizing pain, but somehow, someway he still managed to pull himself up to his feet, and then he staggered his way through the house and made it out the front door to safety. However, there was still someone else in the house behind him. Moments later, a Miami SWAT team entered John’s house, and they would make a horrifying discovery in the guest bedroom – one that would stun the wealthy South Florida community, where John and his family had lived and worked for over four decades.

Fan Favorite – “These People Actually Exist”
12/28/23: This story is a fan favorite that was previously published as Episode 8. On Christmas Eve in 1992, an 18-year-old woman named Danita Gullette stepped outside of her place of work into the freezing Dayton, Ohio night air, and began walking toward her mother’s house. After a few minutes, Danita decided to call her mother to ask her something that couldn’t wait until she arrived. So Danita stopped at a payphone, slipped a few coins into the phone’s coin slot, then dialed the number she knew by heart. At her mother’s house, the phone started to ring, but when Danita’s sister picked up the receiver, the phone was silent. Around the same time, the Dayton police received a call about a disturbance at a payphone in town. This would be the start of one of the most incomprehensible crime sprees in American history.

The Dybbuk Box
12/28/23: Far and away the two scariest parts of this story are one, when Jason brings the Dybbuk Box home and he goes to bed that first night, and then two, the following night what Jason sees in his living room is just horrifying. [Source: Amazon]
