From haunted hotels in Denver to ancestral rituals in Mesopotamia, this Halloween special of The Boo Room explores how the veil between worlds thins across continents. Host Tyler Terry reports on Denver’s ghost-ridden landmarks, Tennessee’s restless spirits, modern witches reclaiming Samhain in the Pacific Northwest, and Spain’s ban on black-cat adoptions. Plus: a newly uncovered New Hampshire witch-trial archive and a viral Texas werewolf sighting and more.

In this week’s episode of The Boo Room, host Tyler Terry explores new reports of the Mermaid Inn haunting in Rye, England — where couples flee their rooms after midnight disturbances no one can explain. A nurse in Arizona recounts a chilling Grim Reaper sighting at a patient’s bedside, and in Honduras, villagers blame the legendary El Duende after a child vanishes near a flooded river.

Also in this episode: a myrrh-streaming icon in Honolulu, fresh Bigfoot sighting odds, and a ringed UAP over Minneapolis.
