In October 1973, two Mississippi men—Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker—claimed they were taken aboard a strange craft while fishing on the Pascagoula River. What they described was unlike any other UFO report at the time: robotic beings with claw-like hands, paralyzing fear, and a chilling medical-like examination.

The story made headlines across the country, drawing the attention of law enforcement, journalists, and UFO investigators. Some dismissed the account as a hoax, but recordings of the men made in secret revealed something far harder to explain—their terror was real.

In this episode of Lurk, we dive into the Pascagoula UFO abduction, exploring what happened that night, how Hickson and Parker’s lives were forever changed, and why this case remains one of the most compelling alien abduction accounts in American history.

Join us as we unravel one of the strangest close encounters ever reported—the night visitors came to Mississippi.

Once home to the city’s cemetery, Chicago’s Lincoln Park carries a dark history buried just beneath the surface—literally. Before the laughter of children and the roar of lions filled the air, thousands of bodies were laid to rest here… many of them never moved when the zoo was built.

In this episode of Lurk, we dig into the chilling history of the land beneath Lincoln Park Zoo, from the days of grave robbers and smallpox victims to the paranormal encounters reported by zookeepers, visitors, and ghost hunters alike. You’ll hear stories of shadowy figures pacing near the animal enclosures, phantom footsteps in empty halls, and the eerie legend of the Couch Mausoleum—the last visible remnant of the old cemetery.

Is it the spirits of the unclaimed dead still roaming their disturbed graves? Or something far older that lingers in this patch of green in the heart of Chicago?

Join us as we explore what lies beneath the roar.

In December 1980, strange lights descended into the dense woods of Suffolk, England—lights that would spark one of the most compelling and controversial UFO cases in modern history. Military personnel stationed at RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge reported inexplicable phenomena: hovering lights, a metallic craft, radiation readings, and even direct contact.

In this episode of Lurk, we take you deep into Rendlesham Forest to unravel the chilling events that unfolded over several nights. Was it a secret military experiment? A case of mass hysteria? Or a close encounter with something not of this world?
We examine firsthand accounts, declassified documents, and the infamous Halt Memo, and we explore how this incident earned its nickname: “Britain’s Roswell.”
Listen closely—because what happened in Rendlesham may still echo through the trees.

This week, we’re traveling to the heart of Scotland to explore one of the most iconic—and haunted—strongholds in the world: Edinburgh Castle. Perched high on Castle Rock, this ancient fortress has withstood centuries of war, siege, and bloodshed… and some say, the spirits of its past have never left.

From the chilling beat of a headless drummer to the mournful sounds of the phantom piper lost beneath the castle, we’ll uncover the ghost stories that linger in its shadowy corridors. Discover the dungeon that once held prisoners of war, hear tales of a spectral dog, and find out why visitors report sudden drops in temperature, ghostly apparitions, and overwhelming feelings of dread.

Is it just the weight of history… or is something still lurking behind the castle’s cold stone walls?

If you’re enjoying Lurk, don’t forget to follow, rate, and leave a review—it helps more curious minds like yours discover the show. And if you’ve had your own eerie encounter, share it with us—we just might feature it in a future episode.

Also the bagpipe music comes from a recording of my former Bagpipe band!

In this chilling episode of Lurk, we delve into one of the most mysterious and brutal unsolved crimes in German history—the Hinterkaifeck murders. In 1922, on a quiet Bavarian farmstead, six members of the Gruber-Gabriel family were found gruesomely murdered. The scene was eerie: strange footprints in the snow, an attic possibly occupied before the killings, and a killer who may have stayed in the house after the murders were done.

Who was responsible for this horrific crime? Was it someone close to the family, or a wandering stranger with dark intentions? And what clues still haunt investigators and armchair detectives to this day?

Join us as we explore the unsettling evidence, examine chilling theories, and uncover the lingering questions surrounding this nearly century-old case. This is one true crime mystery that continues to baffle—and terrify.
