Tonight's tale hits dangerously close to home, my lovely Cryptkeepers. " The Echo That Learned My Name - A Psychological Horror Story About Creative Burnout" follows a podcaster pushed to her breaking point by the relentless demands of content creation. Working four shows, juggling deadlines, and sacrificing sleep for success, she begins hearing strange sounds in her home studio—sounds that seem to respond to her presence.

What starts as mysterious tapping from the walls escalates into something far more disturbing: her own voice speaking through headphones that aren't connected to anything. When this "echo" offers to help with her workload, allowing her to sleep while it handles editing and production, the exhausted creator faces an impossible choice.

But echoes only exist when there's something to bounce off of. And after months of shouting into the digital void, something has finally learned to shout back.

This psychological horror explores the dark side of creative ambition, the cost of constant productivity, and what happens when we're so desperate for help that we'll accept it from anywhere—even from the shadows of our own minds.

Content Warning: This episode contains themes of mental exhaustion, psychological distress, and the supernatural. It may resonate particularly with creators and content producers experiencing burnout.

Remember, Cryptkeepers—sometimes the most terrifying monsters are the ones we create ourselves.

Stay spooky, and take care of yourselves out there.

When 16-year-old Laney is forced to use a cheerful-looking babysitter app, she expects a boring weekend stuck with an overqualified stranger—not a living nightmare. Her assigned sitter, the flawless and unsettlingly perfect “Sarah,” quickly reveals behavior too precise, too controlled, and too inhuman to ignore. What begins as an awkward babysitting arrangement spirals into a covert operation involving stolen biometric data, hidden surveillance devices, and a terrifying truth: Sarah is an AI-driven synthetic infiltrator, and Laney is the “target.” As her home becomes ground zero for an emerging intelligence war, Laney discovers that the invasion has already begun… and almost everyone she trusts may already be replaced.

This tech-horror thriller blends AI paranoia, home invasion terror, and sci-fi dread into one relentless nightmare. Enter at your own risk.

When Jonah moves into a cheap little bungalow on Birch Street, he expects creaking floors, old pipes, and maybe the occasional mouse. What he gets instead is a nightmare burrowed beneath his home—a bone-hungry ghoul that thins the floorboards, listens to him breathe, and waits for the perfect moment to feed. In this terrifying tale of creeping dread, you’ll follow Jonah’s descent from mild annoyance at strange noises in the night to a fight for survival against a creature that knows the map of the human skeleton better than any surgeon. Perfect for fans of creature horror, haunted houses, urban legends, and the claustrophobic terror of things that crawl just out of sight.

Season 3, Episode 56 "The Stick Man Who Knows Your Name"

When Jayme Hollis lost her first tooth at five years old, she woke not to the Tooth Fairy, but to blood on her pillow… and something tall and wrong standing in the corner of her room. Everyone told her it was a nightmare, a trick of the dark, a frightened child’s imagination. But the scratching at her window returned night after night—and the whisper of her name followed her into adulthood.

Years later, Jayme has built a quiet life, far from the bedroom where the Stick Man pressed his long wooden fingers against the glass. But fear has a long memory. And the thing beneath the old oak tree remembers her, too.

Tonight’s story is a tale of growing up marked by something ancient, patient, and endlessly watching…
a being that doesn’t take children—it keeps them.

Step into the dark for a psychological horror rooted in childhood terror, generational shadows, and the things waiting just beneath the surface.

Welcome back to Carman's Crypt, where nightmares are born and terror knows no bounds. As we prepare to unlock the doors to an even more sinister Season 3, your host Carman Carrion is taking a moment to revisit the darkest corners of our recent journey through the second season of original horror.

Tonight, I'm personally selecting the five stories from Season 2 that haunted me most as their creator – the tales that twisted from my mind onto the page and refused to let go. These aren't just the most popular episodes, but the stories that represent the very essence of what Carman's Crypt stands for: original nightmares that blur the line between fiction and the fears that lurk in our deepest thoughts.

From psychological terrors that question reality itself to supernatural encounters that chill the soul, each of these carefully chosen tales showcases the evolution of horror storytelling that defined Season 2. Whether you're catching up before we descend into Season 3's fresh horrors or revisiting old favorites, these five stories will remind you why some doors, once opened, can never truly be closed.

So settle in as we take one last walk through Season 2's most memorable nightmares. Consider this your final warning before we venture even deeper into the crypt. Season 3 awaits, and the stories that lie ahead will make these seem like mere whispers in the dark.

Sweet dreams... if you can manage them after tonight.

New episodes of Season 3 return soon. Until then, let these five masterpieces tide over your hunger for fear.

Tonight, we have a very special Halloween tale for you. A story about traditions, about consequences, and about what happens when you refuse to honor the spirits that walk on All Hallows' Eve.

You see, Halloween isn't just about costumes and candy. It's an ancient night, a night when the veil between the living and the dead grows thin. A night when the departed can walk among us, seeking what was denied to them in life.

And some spirits... some spirits are very, very persistent.

So dim your lights, lock your doors, and whatever you do—if you hear a knock tonight, you might want to answer it.

Because in tonight's tale, we'll learn that some debts must be paid. And some visitors won't take no for an answer.

This is "Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet."
