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.

This week on Skeptic Wednesday, we dive into eerie stories from the open road. From phantom pedestrians who vanish before your eyes to strange figures sitting in the middle of the highway, roadside encounters blur the line between reality and the paranormal. I bring the tales, and Evan—our resident skeptic—brings his grounded take. Together, we explore whether these sightings are restless spirits, tricks of the mind, or something else entirely.

Buckle up—this one takes you down some haunted backroads.

In our very first Skeptic Wednesday episode, we welcome Evan — our new co-host who brings a grounded, questioning voice to Pale Moon Stories.

In this special introduction, Evan opens up about his own brushes with the paranormal, sharing the strange encounters he’s had and the ghost stories that run through his family.

It’s part storytelling, part skeptical banter, and a glimpse into the dynamic that will balance every future episode: curiosity on one side, skepticism on the other.

Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, join us as we peel back the curtain and get to know the watcher in the room.

Four legends. One repeating fear.

From Skinwalkers to Not-Deer, from the Grinning Man to the Melon Heads—every tale hides a borrowed face. Step inside America’s strangest folklore and meet the creatures that imitate us a little too well.

Are they monsters, mirrors, or something in between?

Listen as Pale Moon Stories unpacks spiritual betrayal, distorted nature, cosmic politeness, and the monsters we made ourselves.

(Trigger warning: mentions of folklore violence and psychological horror.)

Across cultures, fire has always been more than just heat and light. It dances, devours, protects, and destroys — and in folklore, it breathes with a spirit of its own. From djinn and will-o’-the-wisps to legends of flames that whisper warnings, this episode explores the myths of fire as a living force.

Join us as we step into the glow of folklore’s flames… and discover what burns in the dark.
