While exploring and investigating the Sallie House for our live show, our most skeptical friend jokingly said “you guys better check my back” before leaving (because someone else on our tour claimed to get scratched). Sallie said bet! What do you think? ๐Ÿค”

In this special Halloween live episode, we traveled to Atchison, Kansas to explore one of America's most infamous haunted houses—the Sallie House. We dive into the dark backstory dating back to 1905, when a desperate mother allegedly brought her six-year-old daughter to Dr. Charles Finney's home for emergency surgery. According to local lore, the doctor began operating on the girl's appendix before the anesthesia took effect, and she died on his operating table from blood loss. While we acknowledge there's no concrete historical evidence this event actually occurred, we explore why this story has persisted and discuss other tragic deaths that took place in and around the property, including a disturbing incident involving the woman next door and her young son. The episode takes a personal turn as we share our own experiences from investigating the house for two hours the day before this live recording. We discuss what happened when our group used the Estes Method and spirit box equipment during our investigation, including multiple people hearing the same disturbing growl, our skeptical friend Parker getting mysteriously scratched, and the eerie responses we received when asking questions about what lurks in the attic and basement. We detail the intense haunting experiences of Tony and Debra Pickman, who lived in the house during the 1990s and endured everything from toys rearranging themselves to violent scratches appearing on Tony's body—even during filmed investigations.

This listener submission episode starts with Katrina from Alaska, who in December 2019 made the questionable decision to attempt summoning Paimon, one of the nine kings of hell. What followed were months of unsettling experiences—shadowy creatures darting between trees, an overwhelming sense of dread, and two disturbing encounters in the woods that left her disoriented and injured. Next, we hear from David in Wisconsin, who woke at 2:30am to the sound of rustling like a plastic bag in the wind, followed by an overwhelming wave of fear and the mental image of a beast snapping its jaws at him while he lay frozen in bed. Our final and longest story comes from longtime listener Hex, whose Massachusetts home has been a hotbed of paranormal activity since sixth grade. We discuss multiple encounters experienced by Hex and their family, including the mysterious "Farmer" ghost in yellow plaid and overalls who appears in the backyard, unexplained boot stomping that echoes through the house during sleepovers, and perhaps most unsettling—a shadowy figure that appeared behind Hex in a FaceTime call but wasn't visible when they turned around.

In this episode, we dive deep into the swamps of South Carolina to explore the legendary Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp. We kick things off with the most famous encounter from 1988, when 17-year-old Christopher Davis was driving home from his McDonald's shift when his tire blew out near the swamp. What happened next became the stuff of local legend—a towering 7-8 foot tall creature with glowing red eyes, green scaly skin, and three-clawed fingers leaped onto his car as he desperately tried to escape. Davis's harrowing account, validated by a polygraph test and the local sheriff, sparked a media frenzy that drew everyone from Good Morning America to the Washington Post to this small South Carolina town. We explore multiple sightings from that intense summer of 1988, including terrified teenagers, mauled vehicles, mysterious three-toed footprints that baffled biologists, and even police officers who witnessed evidence firsthand. The footprint castings remain the most compelling physical evidence—14 inches long with three clawed toes that experts couldn't match to any known animal.

The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp

Image
The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp This week is all about the strange Voynich Manuscript. We explored how this mysterious 240-page medieval book, written entirely in an unknown language and filled with bizarre illustrations, has baffled scholars for over a century. From its discovery by rare book dealer Dr. Wilford M. Voynich in 1912 at a Jesuit college near Rome to its current home at Yale University, we traced the manuscript’s fascinating journey through the hands of alchemists, occultists, and royalty. The book features drawings of unidentifiable plants, unusual star charts that don’t quite match Earth’s perspective, and peculiar images of naked women bathing in colored liquids—all accompanied by elegant, flowing text that no one has ever been able to decipher. We discussed the leading theories about the manuscript’s origins, from the possibility that it was an elaborate hoax created by medieval forger Edward Kelly to sell to Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II, to the idea that it’s s...
