The Gobblesquatch is said to have terrorized early settlers and has been seen all across the North American continent. Though it now rests in the Pacific Northwest, be wary. If you happen to see one, run before it's able to crush you with its.... enormous feathers?

The real world impacts of the viral Internet creepypasta known as Boothworld Industries.
On this show, we’ve talked about cases of missing people, gruesome unsolved murders, and mysterious phone numbers, just to name a few. This case begins with a haunting fictional tale that intertwines all three. But what happens when fiction spills over into reality? Today, we explore the narrative and background behind the story of Boothworld Industries.

Have you ever called a haunted phone number? Or maybe just 867-5309? In tomorrow’s episode we discuss a creepypasta that transcended the Internet with a phone number, and the potential reasons why it’s still scary.
[WARNING] Task Force Field Team: be careful and avoid calling any strange phone numbers.
See you Monday!

The investigation and theories behind the disturbing true crime murders of the I-70 Strangler.
In the 1980s, a string of disappearances began plaguing Indiana until a body discovered in a ditch spurred the formation of a Task Force. This group began investigating the string of murders, but it wasn’t until years later that it became clear there was a serial killer on the loose. Today, we discuss the disturbing crimes of the I-70 Strangler.
Sensitive topics: murder, hate crime, su...

This week’s case, like many we’ve covered, is a little unusual!
The I-70 Strangler’s identity is known, but some of his victims are still unidentified and it’s unknown how many victims there were in total. It’s also interesting because average people did the heavy lifting to catch him.
See you Monday!

The theories of government assassination and drug money behind this crashed plane and its missing black box.
An airplane crashed into the Andes Mountains minutes before it should have landed at its destination. Despite several attempts to find the black box and discover what happened to the aircraft, the unknown causes behind the crash remain a source for many theories. Today, we explore the strange case of EAL Flight 980.

Our next episode covers the crash of Eastern Airlines Flight 980.
It happened just before landing and, sadly, the plane’s black box has never been found. It’s unclear why exactly the accident happened, and it appears there wasn’t much of an investigation by the Bolivian government. Conspiracy time!
See you tomorrow!

The alien encounters and possible government coverup behind the Varginha UFO Incident.
After three girls were shocked by the sight of a strange creature they called a devil, a bizarre web of seemingly intertwined encounters emerged from the city of Varginha. Today, we discuss the events from what many consider Brazil’s Roswell, the Varginha UFO Incident.

Ghosts are out!! Now it’s time for the extraterrestrials!!
This week we discuss what’s often been referred to as Brazil’s Roswell Incident. Pretty similarly, one strange event spiraled into citywide UFO mania. Citizens were reporting alien and UFO sightings all over town, so the story becomes hard to track; fact and fiction get blurred. That said, we think that just goes to show the real fear experienced by the town that day. It’s an interesting one for sure!

Today we look at the haunted history of the ghost island of Poveglia.
Off the coast of Italy, near Venice, sits a small island once used for defense and quarantine. This island now sits abandoned though locals still hear screams and laughter echoing across the water, and some who try to visit have been scared off immediately. Today, let’s discuss one of the most haunted places in the world, Poveglia Island.

Continuing on our haunted journey, this week we are discussing the Haunted Island of Poveglia.
This super tiny Venetian island has a long and bleak history. At one point it was used to quarantine those suffering from the Black Plague. Today it is abandoned, but it is supposedly the most haunted island in the world.
We learned a lot about a piece of history I never knew about!
