Monthly Spooky: Weird News, Haunting Stories, And Urban Legends Episodes

Talking dolls, alleged demon voices, mysterious rat holes, ancient waste, and the terror of sleep paralysis enter the Monthly Spooky crypt. Henrique Couto and Michelle move from strange-news oddities into a deeper discussion of waking immobility, sensed presences, and why sleep paralysis has inspired supernatural explanations across cultures. A doll that appears to speak and a recording presented as a demon voice make sound the evidence under debate. Mysterious rat holes and ancient waste add ...

Abandoned hospitals, hero rats, ghostly visitors and false memories lead this Monthly Spooky crypt conversation. Abandoned hospitals carry the memory of illness, confinement, and institutional history, making them powerful settings for reported hauntings. Imaginary friends and ghostly visitors raise a different question about unseen companions, while false memories challenge confidence in the mind’s own record. Hero rats provide a surprising real-world counterpoint to the darker material. The ...

Abandoned hospitals, deadly worms, and do a deep dive into America's Most Haunted Roads lead this Monthly Spooky crypt conversation. The haunted-road discussion treats travel itself as the vulnerable state: drivers are isolated, landmarks repeat in darkness, and local stories attach ghosts, warnings, or unexplained figures to specific stretches of pavement. Abandoned hospitals and haunted apartments bring the same location-based fear indoors, while the killer-worm report replaces supernatural u...

Bigfoot murder, ghostly intruders, and the legend of the Lake Champlain Monster lead this Monthly Spooky crypt conversation. A reported attempt to feed a friend to Bigfoot turns cryptid belief into an alleged human crime. Ghostly intruders bring the fear inside the home, eating insects supplies a more physical challenge, and the Lake Champlain segment follows Champ through the sightings and regional identity that keep the lake-monster legend alive. Those subjects give the episode an unusually ...

Abandoned asylums, ghostly lovers, and the legend of the vanishing hitchhiker lead this Monthly Spooky crypt conversation. Vanishing-hitchhiker stories attach a fleeting passenger to a road, a death, and a driver who learns the truth too late. The ghostly love triangle gives haunting an intimate motive, while an abandoned asylum supplies a location where reputation and evidence blur. The nose-bug story brings the episode back to a more physical and immediate form of unease. Rather than forcing...

Mothman, strange pregnancies, and Valentine's Day gifts you'll never forget... even if you try lead this Monthly Spooky crypt conversation. The Valentine segment looks at gifts whose meaning or consequence goes disastrously wrong, while reports of unusual pregnancies and a roasted groundhog supply the month’s stranger headlines. Mothman gives the episode its most enduring legend: a winged figure associated with Point Pleasant, ominous sightings, and decades of cryptid debate. Monthly Spooky mo...

Spiders, unleashed deer, heroic dogs, a ghostly smell, and something living in an ear fill this wide-ranging Monthly Spooky roundup. The episode’s animal stories cover very different relationships with people: unleashed deer create danger, dogs become unlikely heroes, and spiders or an ear-dwelling creature trigger the fear of nature getting far too close. A mysterious smell associated with a ghost introduces a less familiar kind of haunting—one perceived through scent rather than sight or soun...

We talk about rats en masse, a forgotten bomb in a front yard, ghosts that commit assault and we write an improvised horror story! Masses of rats turn a familiar city animal into a swarm; an unexploded or forgotten bomb in a front yard makes buried history physically dangerous; and reports of ghosts committing assault challenge the idea that a haunting is only a noise or glimpse. The episode then changes mode as the hosts build an improvised horror story from scratch. That creative segment giv...

A black bear steals taco bell, a ghost girl is captured on a livestream, and what is the Wendigo and why is it SO HUNGRY?! A bear stealing fast food provides the month’s bizarre real-world opening; an apparent ghost girl captured during a livestream shifts the conversation toward digital evidence and haunting claims. The Wendigo discussion then reaches into the deeper fears attached to endless hunger, winter, isolation, greed, and cannibalism. Monthly Spooky places those subjects beside one an...

An extreme haunted house no one can finish leads a Halloween Monthly Spooky featuring trapped thrill riders and wonderfully strange party advice from 1914. How terrifying can a modern haunt become before entertainment turns into endurance? What happens when an amusement-park ride leaves its passengers suspended upside down? The crypt conversation explores both nightmares, then opens a century-old guide to throwing the best Halloween party imaginable—at least by 1914 standards. This seasonal ro...

How do other cultures celebrate Halloween? Can you cross the Atlantic in a hamster wheel? And is there a Yoga Death Cult in Great Britain?!

The result is an easy-to-follow roundup for listeners who enjoy eerie facts, unsettling conversation, and a different doorway into the strange every month. Chec...

We cover invading bunnies, really awesome sea otters, hellish places all over the world, and a chair for sale that is definitely not haunted. Stop trying to think it is haunted, you look foolish. Each segment follows one of the subjects named in Invading Bunnies, Abandoned-Island Screams & a Fearless Sea Otter, moving between real-world oddities, supernatural lore, and horror entertainment. It is part paranormal conversation, part horror-culture catch-up, and part invitation to follow the mon...

The Philadelphia Experiment, screams coming from beneath a basement, and fish with humanlike teeth fill this month’s crypt with paranormal history and strange news. Henrique and Michelle begin with reports that turn ordinary places and animals into nightmare material. A home becomes frightening when unexplained cries seem to rise from somewhere below the basement, while a peculiar fish story proves that nature can design a mouth more unsettling than many movie monsters. The episode’s central m...

Mysterious green water, life beneath the ocean, and a woman who says she can taste other dimensions lead into the Jersey Devil.

The opening stories make room for environmental mystery and unusual sensory experience before the episode reaches New Jersey’s Pine Barrens. There, the Jersey Devil becomes a case study...

Haunted photos, a house that comes with a cemetery and more lead this Monthly Spooky crypt conversation. Photographs offer an apparent record, which makes an unexplained figure or impossible detail especially persuasive to people who want evidence of a haunting. Crybaby Bridge legends work differently, attaching repeated rituals and tragic backstories to local roads. A property sold with its own cemetery and the bizarre Cocaine Cat story push the conversation from supernatural claims into odd n...

Black-Eyed Children, haunted rings, and the real story that inspired Cocaine Bear lead this Monthly Spooky crypt conversation. The episode’s subjects move from a modern paranormal legend to the frightening history attached to objects, then into one of the strangest animal stories to enter popular culture. That variety is the point of Monthly Spooky: one conversation can compare folklore, alleged encounters, bizarre news, and horror entertainment without pretending they carry the same kind of ev...

Living inside a funeral home, swallowing LEGO pieces for science, and romances that end in death give this Monthly Spooky episode an unusually intimate view of the macabre. Henrique and Michelle return to the crypt with strange news about the practical—and psychological—reality of making a home where the dead are prepared for burial. The setting invites a conversation about what people normalize when death becomes part of the workplace and what still feels unsettling after the lights go out. T...

Golem folklore, ghost ships, Grinch-related weirdness, and Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 bring Jewish legend and chaotic Christmas horror into the crypt. Henrique and Michelle begin with strange news involving an alleged ghost ship, an adult-film personality, and a headline worthy of the Grinch. The stories move between the unexplained and the absurd before the episode turns toward one of folklore’s most enduring artificial beings. The hosts explore the golem: a figure from Jewish traditio...

The episode also turns to Netflix horror with reactions to The Midnight Club and The Wa...

La Llorona’s chilling legend leads a Halloween-ready Monthly Spooky packed with child ghosts, mystery meat, a real-life Addams family, and strange Reddit tales.

The episode also explores listener-worthy oddities from Reddit and shares reaction...

Sleep paralysis, the terrifying “old hag” experience, dancing coffins, and modern horror movies collide in this month-in-review conversation with Henrique and Michelle.
