What would you do if two kids knocked on your door at midnight…

and their eyes were pure black?

Tonight on Skeptic Wednesday, we dive into the legend of the Black-Eyed Children. Where did it start, why do people keep seeing them, and is it paranormal proof or just internet panic?

One thing’s for sure—if you hear a knock after dark, you’re probably better off locking your doors.

In the frozen forests of the north, hunger takes shape. The Wendigo—emaciated, hollow-eyed, forever starving—haunts the stories of Cree, Ojibwe, and Innu peoples. But is it only a monster of legend… or something more?

In this Skeptic Wednesday, Alex and Evan follow the Wendigo’s trail across centuries: from the Jesuit writings of 1661, to Swift Runner—the man who ate his family, to Jack Fiddler, the last Wendigo hunter. Along the way, we explore Wendigo psychosis, the clash of cultures in colonial courts, and modern encounters that blur the line between myth and lived experience.

Is the Wendigo a spirit, a sickness, or simply hunger itself? Join us by the firelight and decide for yourself.

Tennessee, 1817. Scratches on the walls. Blankets tugged from beds. A voice in the dark that sang hymns, cursed neighbors, and mocked prayers. The Bell Witch haunting remains one of the most famous poltergeist stories in American folklore—but was it truly supernatural, or something closer to home?

In this Skeptic Wednesday, Alex and Evan revisit the Bell Witch legend, step into John Bell’s farmhouse, and trace the torment of Betsy Bell. From the death of her father to the laughter that echoed through his funeral, the haunting left scars and questions that still linger today.

But what if the Bell Witch wasn’t a witch at all? We dig into psychology, folklore, and modern accounts of poltergeists—from restless spirits to trickster energies that seem to thrive on attention.

Was it ghost, hoax, or human fear itself? Tonight, you decide.
