This week the Heroes head to South London to dig into Aravindan “Comrade Bala” Balakrishnan, the Maoist cult leader who kept women under “invisible handcuffs” for decades and turned an ordinary flat into a prison ruled by an all-seeing entity. Then they break down the Elevator Game, the viral ritual that claims you can “dial” yourself out of reality with a sequence of buttons and a woman on the fifth floor who is absolutely not human, and ask why elevators make such perfect breeding grounds for modern demons.

Forgot to say the word of the week in episode: lampchop

Deep in the forests, on the borders of fields, in the quiet places people shouldn’t linger — something watches. Phreak dives into the terrifying real-world lore of the Hidden Ones: the ancient fae folk blamed for vanishings, rewritings, and voices that call your name from the wrong direction. From Icelandic construction crews to Celtic fairy mounds to modern disappearances, this episode explores the old rules, the true encounters, and the things that notice you long before you notice them.

Kamen breaks down the truth behind America’s most famous “tiny cryptid.” From frontier myths to a real virus that grows horn-like tumors on rabbits, the Jackalope turns out to be less folklore and more pathology. A blend of biology, history, and hard skepticism.

A kid’s bedroom is supposed to be the safest room in the house… so why are the toys moving on their own? In Toy Room from Hell, Phreak digs into the infamous South Shields Poltergeist case: a young family in a normal English home, a child found wrapped and stashed like cargo, toys posed as threats, vicious messages appearing on chalkboards and phones, and a shadow figure watching from the hall.

Was it a hoax, a psychic meltdown, or something intelligent learning how to hurt people where it counts most?

From the infamous Mackenzie tomb attacks in Edinburgh to the shadowy corners of Japanese message boards where strangers make fatal agreements, the Brothers unravel what happens when human suffering touches the supernatural. Two stories. Two very different kinds of hauntings. One unsettling question: what pulls people toward the darkness… and why do so many follow?

Something in the Ozarks has been screaming for nearly two centuries — a black, horned predator whose voice chills bone and breaks silence. From frontier journals to modern trail-cam nightmares, the Ozark Howler stalks the border between folklore and something far older. Tonight, Phreak digs into the sightings, the history, and the fear that always comes before the scream.

Forget Marvel’s multiverse. Kamen dissects the actual theories behind alternate realities: quantum splits, inflation bubbles, string-theory branes, and simulation “save files.” Turns out the universe might not just be big — it might be running every version of itself at once.

A SUNY Geneseo dorm in 1984 didn’t just feel haunted — it whispered a student’s name. Mirrors cracked, temperatures plunged, and something thin and gray stepped out of the dark. Erie Hall is gone now… but the whispers never stopped.
