    Classic Ghost Stories : THE WOLF OF ANSBACH | Werewolf Panic, Vanishing Children & Bavarian Folklore
    Jan 13 2026

    Winter 1685 and a Bavarian town is gripped by a predator that starts with livestock, then turns on children, until terror curdles into a darker belief: that the wolf is the returning soul of a hated official. When the beast is finally killed, the town’s revenge becomes part of the legend.

    MALICE IN THE MOONLIGHT : Pukwudgies & the Little Ones | New England Encounters & Bridgewater Triangle
    Jan 12 2026
    Across backroads, watersheds, graveyards, and fence lines, witnesses describe the same unnerving pattern: a small, inhuman figure that watches, beckons, throws stones, and punishes curiosity. This episode looks at the Wampanoag lore, where the worst danger isn’t what you see in the trees, but what it wants you to do next.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pukwudgie https://newenglandfolklore.blogspot.com/2023/04/a-pukwudgie-sighting-in-massachusetts.html https://newenglandfolklore.blogspot.com/2016/04/pukwudgies-in-freetown-some-fairy.html https://terrireid.com/pukwudgies/ https://trippingonlegends.com/2017/06/30/vale-end-cemetery/ https://www.comicsands.com/seen-a-cryptid-like-bigfoot-2668109108.html?rebelltitem=9 https://strangeandtwisted.com/blogs/stories/the-pukwudgie-massachusetts-terrifying-forest-spirit-that-haunts-the-bridgewater-triangle?srsltid=AfmBOoptegctmUXfZtPjZW9BNKyRUXOIEAMzSs4v0dxjjN7Y3cpnHwy0 https://www.reddit.com/r/mythology/comments/105sn0p/bitesized_bestiary_pukwudgie_the_sometimes/Thanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again tomorrow.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/;;;SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

    AFTER DARK | The Ghost of Mary Jane Reed : Haunted Roadhouses, Cold Case Murders | Creepy Stories
    Jan 11 2026

    In 1948, 17-year-old Mary Jane Reed was murdered on a lover’s lane in rural Illinois — and she never truly left. Decades later, her ghost still lingers in the Roadhouse where she danced her last, stirring jukeboxes, scents, and shadows in a desperate cry for justice.

I tuned in out of curiosity, just a little bedtime scary before I sleep. Calmly and beautifully orated stories of real life scares and folklore history by Sarah hooks you in and then the introduction of her son Tobias and their frank and humourous banter about the story told. This is well researched folklore, eerie short stories or experiences shared and a delightful conversation with mother and son. Brilliant listening.

Pure magic, mystery, scary and humor
