Five of the most disturbing unsolved true crime cases... from a man found under bizarre circumstances in Tennessee, to a mysterious woman in an Oslo hotel with no identity, these cases continue to haunt investigators and internet sleuths alike. In this video, we break down chilling true crime stories including Blair Adams, Jennifer Fairgate, the Dempsey family, Rey Rivera, and Buffalo Jim—each filled with unanswered questions, strange evidence, and theories that range from paranoia to possible foul play.If you’re into unsolved mysteries, creepy cases, and real-life horror stories, this is one you won’t forget.CASES COVERED[0:00] Blair Adams (Unsolved – Knoxville, Tennessee, 1996): A Canadian man fled across borders claiming someone was trying to end his life—only to be found deceased, half-naked, with thousands of dollars scattered around his body.

In this episode, we explore eight chilling real-life encounters—from three friends overwhelmed by a shared, unexplainable presence on a dark street to a Disneyland ghost story that’s been whispered about for decades. A haunted apartment, eerie late-night sightings, and something violently knocking from the woods blur the line between paranoia and the paranormal. But some of the most terrifying moments aren’t supernatural at all—reminding us that sometimes, the real danger is human.Writing Credits: cheekonyourface (2), quiet-on-set (3), DGWoods-author (5), violettefemme23 (6), No-Zone6137 (7), and RichGeci (8)Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

3 ordinary Craigslist interactions that turned into pure nightmare fuel.In this episode of The Scarecast, we dive into three disturbing real-life cases where a simple online listing led to violence, manipulation, and murder: a clean-cut med student living a double life as “The Craigslist Killer,” a pregnant woman lured to a house by a fake maternity clothes ad, and desperate job seekers drawn into the woods by a fake farmhand listing that was really a trap.You’ll hear about:Philip Markoff, the Boston medical student who used Craigslist adult services ads to target women in hotels.Dynel Lane, who staged a “free baby clothes” meetup that turned into a brutal attack on a pregnant stranger.Richard Beasley, a so-called street preacher who posted fake farm job ads to lure vulnerable men to their deaths.These stories are a chilling reminder that danger can wear any face: a promising doctor, a friendly mom-to-be, or a man of “faith” offering a fresh start.If you’ve ever had a creepy or dangerous experience answering an online ad, I want to hear it.

Every old hotel has a story—but at the Glen Tavern Inn in Santa Paula, California, those stories may still be walking the halls.In this episode, I take you inside one of the most haunted hotels on the West Coast after personally staying in Room 308—one of the most requested (and feared) rooms in the building. From its origins in 1911 during California’s oil boom, to its rumored Prohibition-era speakeasy, brothel, and violent past, the Glen Tavern Inn has built a reputation that continues to attract paranormal investigators, ghost hunters, and curious guests from around the world.But the real question is… is it actually haunted?We’re diving deep into:The chilling legends behind Rooms 307 and 308The story of “Calvin,” the mysterious spirit said to haunt the third floorThe disturbing lore surrounding “Rose” and the infamous closet in Room 307The tragic story of psychic medium Patrick SmithReports of shadow figures, ghost children, phantom footsteps, and unexplained voicesReal accounts pulled from Reddit, TripAdvisor, HauntedPlaces.org, and social mediaAnd our own terrifying personal experiences during a paranormal investigationIf you’ve ever stayed at the Glen Tavern Inn—or experienced anything paranormal—send your story to: [email protected] or DM @thescarecastAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

A viral TikTok showed what looked like a giant standing on a mountain… and then the man who filmed it vanished. The Andrew Dawson giant case is one of the internet’s most chilling mysteries—and it only gets stranger the deeper you go.In April 2022, Andrew Dawson, a 34-year-old from Campbell River, British Columbia, captured a bizarre figure high on a ridge near Canoe Mountain, not far from the Jasper SkyTram. What started as a single TikTok giant on mountain clip quickly spiraled into a viral TikTok conspiracy involving alleged government encounters, black helicopters, UFO sightings, and claims of being followed. But as millions watched in real time, skeptics began pointing to more grounded explanations—telecommunication towers, helicopter logging, and misidentified structures hidden in plain sight.This case sits at a strange intersection of internet fame, perception, and pressure. Was the “giant on the mountain” ever real, or did viral attention push Andrew into something far more complicated? With discussions of a possible hoax, a government cover up, and the role of mental health and viral fame, the story of Andrew Dawson remains one of the most debated modern internet mysteries.On The Scarecast, we break down paranormal and true crime cases with research, context, and an open mind—separating what we know from what we think we saw.WATCH video version of this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi1j5YYNr5Y&t=815s📲 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don’t miss the next uploadAbout The Scarecast:The Scarecast pulls you straight into the dark edges of real life.

Could a Brazilian animal rescuer have captured one of the most compelling UFO videos of the decade — or did he just pull off one of the biggest viral hoaxes of 2026?In this episode of The Scarecast, we break down the full story of Mayk Leão, a rural influencer from Campo Largo, Paraná, Brazil, who on May 31, 2026, claims he experienced a terrifying, reality-shattering encounter with a massive disc-shaped craft that hovered over the forest near his property — and then flew silently over his house... but what unravel's in this story, will make you question whether this was all a hoax.But we don't stop there. This case opens the door to Brazil's long and deeply unsettling history of UFO encounters — as I dive into the rabbit hole covering Operação Prato (1977–1978), The Night of the UFOs (1986), and my favorite, The Varginha Incident (1996).WATCH the video version of this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e807U6mKiIUAbout The Scarecast:The Scarecast pulls you straight into the dark edges of real life.

What if the scariest part of modern life isn’t ghosts or demons, but the feeling that the people we see on screen… aren’t really who they appear to be?In this episode of The Scarecast, we dive into what I’m calling “The Human Mask Phenomenon”—a wave of viral moments where the internet becomes convinced someone is literally wearing another person’s face. From a Fox News guest whose shifting neck “seam” sparked mask theories, to Jim Carrey’s altered appearance at the César Awards, to claims that high-ranking politicians are doubles in silicone, we break down how each clip exploded and why so many people refuse to accept the official explanations.We also revisit the infamous airplane meltdown, tracing Tiffany Gomas’ panic on the plane and her later media apology tour, and asking what it is about her story that still doesn’t sit right with so many viewers. Along the way, we unpack how hyper-real masks, deepfakes, live TV glitches, and pure paranoia are blending together into a new kind of modern folklore—where every strange angle, bad shadow, or weird reaction becomes proof that reality itself is wearing a disguise.Referenced Videos:Retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward Interview on Fox News: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X06b8rITwRE&t=174sJim Carrey > Cesar Awards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awqTJ1vpjXQJoe Biden Neck Clip: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KxGsWBSYDCwTiffany Gomas Plane Incident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWpUt3iU9OMAbout The Scarecast:The Scarecast pulls you straight into the dark edges of real life.

This episode dives into the mysterious life and passing of anti‑gravity researcher Amy Eskridge, a brilliant Huntsville scientist who warned friends that if anyone ever said she took her own life, she "most definitely did not”—weeks before she was found deceased from a supposed "self- inflected gunshot." From alleged directed‑energy “pain ray” attacks and burned hands, to threats, tampered records, and a shadowy “intel bomb” ultimatum from a stranger who knew details from her classified medical records, this episode walks you through her final text messages in chilling detail. We explore her claims about suppressed anti‑gravity breakthroughs, ultraterrestrials and future human timelines, and the powerful defense contractors she believed were willing to harass scientists to de*th to protect multi‑billion‑dollar secrets. Along the way, we connect her story to other suspicious cases like Mark McCandlish, and to wider questions: how far would someone go to keep world‑changing propulsion off the books—and did Amy Eskridge pay the ultimate price for getting too close?Episode Recommendations:EP6 - The Disappearance of William “Neil” McCasland:https://open.spotify.com/episode/6Pld3tFGTMH56DIGjotG7CEP7 - 5 Strange Cases Involving Scientists and Defense Employees:https://open.spotify.com/episode/2gckqBZeRo9A4dHWiCPvzHAbout The Scarecast:The Scarecast pulls you straight into the dark edges of real life.

Explore 15 terrifying true scary stories from listeners who survived encounters in the infamous Turnbull Canyon near Whittier, CA. Known for its dark history and urban legends, these paranormal accounts range from mysterious robed figures and ghostly children to phantom cars and humanoid creatures crawling on all fours. Turnbull Canyon is widely considered one of the most haunted places in Southern California. Whether you're looking for ghost stories from Whittier or documented urban legends from the canyon, these listener-submitted encounters will make you think twice before driving those winding roads after dark.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Turnbull Canyon looks like a peaceful four‑mile loop in the Puente Hills near Whittier, but generations of locals and investigators see it as a hotspot of tragedy, legend, and paranormal activity. In this episode, we go back centuries to the Tongva homeland, Spanish colonization, and mission‑era violence that left deep scars on the land and fueled claims of restless Indigenous spirits still haunting the canyon.You’ll hear how Mexican secularization, the rise of massive ranchos, and how the canyon got its name. The canyon was named after real estate mogul Robert Turnbull, who mysteriously passed away just after he sold his canyon property to Quaker founders.The episode also explores stranger 20th‑century chapters: inventor William Haight’s towering “Electrodome” weather‑control device built inside the canyon, later wrapped up in rumors of government interest and eerie abandonment after a mysterious final test on New Year’s Eve 1932. From there, we dissect the enduring but unproven tales of a forgotten asylum, the so‑called Gates of Hell, robed cults, and Depression‑era child sacrifices.Unlike many stories around Turnbull, some horrors are fully documented: the 1952 crash of Flight 416 and the modern crime cases of Gloria Gaxiola and Claudia Tecuautzin, both tied to the canyon’s roads and ravines. By the end of the episode, you’ll see how centuries of colonization, bloodshed, financial ruin, bizarre experiments, and verified crimes have all converged to make Turnbull Canyon one of Southern California’s most infamous “cursed” places — and why so many people refuse to drive it at night. In the next episode, we will be covering the personal accounts of people who have ventured into this very canyon, so make sure you subscribe and stay tuned.

A few weeks ago, I visited the Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena, California—one of the most haunted locations in Southern California and a place infamous for its long history of incidents and paranormal hauntings. I went there with a couple of friends as part of Joshua Amen’s weekly paranormal scavenger hunt, and being on (and beneath) the bridge immediately brought back all the chilling stories listeners have sent me over the years.In this first volume, I share 10 terrifying encounters tied to the Colorado Street Bridge—stories of shadow figures, “ghost jumpers,” faceless apparitions, demonic roars, and things that stalk you from the darkness under the arches. You’ll also hear a quick rundown of the bridge’s past, from its construction in the early 1910s to the 150+ lives believed to have been lost there, and the hauntings people still report today.Joshua Amen's Paranormal Scavenger Hunt:https://amenparanormalresearch.com/https://www.instagram.com/amen.paranormal.research/About The Scarecast:The Scarecast pulls you straight into the dark edges of real life.

In this episode, we follow a chilling pattern that no official agency has ever laid out in one place: a nine‑month window where scientists, analysts, and officers tied to America’s air and space power either vanished or had their lives ended violently, while the official narratives stayed fragmented and strangely incomplete.We start by going much deeper into the disappearance of rocket‑alloy pioneer Monica Jacinto Reza, whose work on the Mondaloy superalloy helped the U.S. break its dependence on Russian RD‑180 rocket engines, and who walked into the Angeles National Forest on a familiar trail in June 2025 and simply never came back. From the scrubbed “green burial” memorial and missing cell‑phone forensics, to a mysterious hiking companion known only as Subject A.Then we move to New Mexico, where Los Alamos employee and DOE advisory board member Melissa Casias returns home in the middle of the day, only for her family to later find both her personal and government LANL phones apparently wiped back to factory state on the very day she vanishes along Route 518.At Wright‑Patterson Air Force Base, we revisit the brutal triple incident involving AFRL project manager Jacob Prichard, finance specialist Jaymee Prichard, and top‑secret‑cleared analyst 1st Lt. Jaime Gustitus — a so‑called “domestic” case that still has no publicly stated motive and is being driven not by local homicide but by Air Force counterintelligence investigators.We also examine the murder of fusion physicist Nuno F.G. Loureiro outside Boston, targeted by a heavily prepared gunman who also carried out a mass shooting at Brown University after years of quiet planning, burner phones, and a pre‑staged storage unit in another state.Finally, we look at the murder of Caltech astrophysicist and NEO Surveyor scientist Carl Grillmair, shot on his rural porch by a man who had already been caught once on the property with an illegal rifle, then inexplicably released under a “dismissed in the interests of justice” gun case only eleven days before the homicide.Across these cases, the same eerie themes keep surfacing: wiped devices at nuclear and space institutions, missing phone data in an era where every step is usually logged, investigations steered by agencies that think in terms of threat surfaces, and a trail of elite technical workers whose deaths are labeled “motive unknown” or treated as isolated anomalies. No one in authority is saying these events are connected — but when you line them up side by side, the pattern that emerges might be too sharp, and too unsettling, to ignore.DISCLOSURE: All information in this episode is based on publicly available sources, open‑source research, and my own analysis.

Once commander of Wright‑Patterson’s secretive lab and linked to UFO insider Tom DeLonge, McCasland disappeared just days after President Trump ordered the release of UFO and alien files.

In June 2009, an unidentified man checked into a small Irish hotel under the name “Peter Bergmann” — a name that belonged to no one — and spent four days methodically erasing every trace of who he really was before his body was found on Rosses Point beach. This episode of The Scarecast dives into the haunting final days of this mystery man: the fake Austrian address, the cash payments, the cut clothing labels, the strange trips through Sligo with a purple plastic bag that always came back empty, and the chilling CCTV footage that shows him moving like he knew exactly where the cameras were and how to avoid them.We’ll walk through the discovery of his body, the baffling autopsy, and the five‑month investigation that scoured DNA databases, fingerprints, and missing persons reports around the world — and still came up with nothing. Was “Peter Bergmann” a terminally ill man staging his own disappearance, a former spy, a criminal with a past too dark to expose, or simply someone who chose to vanish on his own terms? In this deep dive, we follow every known step he took, explore the leading theories, and open the rabbit hole that has kept this case alive for more than a decade.Credit to Hew Morrison for Thumbnail Drawing of Peter Bergmann (also used in video)About The Scarecast:The Scarecast pulls you straight into the dark edges of real life.

Disneyland sells itself as the happiest place on Earth—but behind the music and fireworks, there are stories the park will never put on a brochure. In this episode, I take you inside the concrete heart of the Matterhorn Bobsleds to unpack the horrifying and still‑unresolved death of Regena “Dolly” Young, a 47‑year‑old woman who fell from her bobsled in 1984 and was struck and killed by the next oncoming car in a section of track now known as “Dolly’s Dip.” We’ll go back to Disneyland’s first recorded guest fatality on the Matterhorn in 1964, examine how lightly regulated theme park safety was in the 1980s, and break down the three leading theories of how Dolly’s seatbelt mysteriously ended up unfastened. Then we move into the paranormal: after‑hours track walks, cold spots, dead work lights, and cast members who swear they’ve felt Dolly watching them from the darkness inside the mountain.​If you’ve ever felt something strange at Disneyland—seen a shadow in an empty queue, heard a voice when no one was there, or had an experience you still can’t explain—send your story to [email protected] for a chance to be featured in a future episode.​Follow my page @thescarecast on all social media platforms and don't forget to rate and review my podcast!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

On a quiet spring night in 2014, Boston College junior Jonny Goldowsky opened his eyes in his Foster Street bedroom and saw a man in a Gator‑style ski mask standing perfectly still in his doorway, watching him breathe in the dark. No threats, no stolen laptops, no smashed windows—just a silent figure who slipped back into the night and left an entire neighborhood wondering how many times he’d done this before.He wasn’t the only one. Within weeks, other BC students on Foster and Kirkwood started waking up to bedroom doors easing open, shadows at the foot of the bed, and in some cases, a stranger’s hand on their feet before he bolted down the stairs and out the front door. Once the stories hit the news, the sightings, the break‑ins, and the whispered rumors converged into a single, chilling name: the Boston Tickler.In this episode of Scarecast, we walk house by house through the 2013–2014 break‑ins around Boston College—unlocked doors on Foster Street, masked intruders in Brighton, and late‑night encounters that police confirmed were very real, even as they publicly downplayed the “tickling” itself. We’ll dig into conflicting suspect descriptions, a summer Peeping Tom who kept returning to the same window, and why some online sleuths now see this case as a possible early warning sign of something far darker.Was the Boston Tickler just a ridiculous urban legend that got away from the facts, or a methodical prowler testing how close he could get to his victims while they slept?If you enjoy this episode of Scarecast, follow, rate, and share the show, and send your own home‑intruder or campus‑legend stories to [email protected]—you might hear them in a future episode.Get in touch with me:Instagram · TikTok · X: @thescarecastYouTube · Facebook: The ScarecastWebsite: www.thescarecast.comEmail (send me your stories): [email protected] Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

A bored middle‑aged machinist, a beautiful small‑town teenager, and a 22‑year‑old college student cross paths in an online chatroom in 2005—and nothing in their lives will ever be the same. What begins as a harmless lie from Thomas Montgomery, a married father using the screen name “MarineSniper,” quickly pulls him into a secret relationship with “Jessi,” an 18‑year‑old from West Virginia who seems too perfect to be true. When Montgomery’s coworker, Brian Barrett, enters the picture, the flirtation twists into a volatile triangle of jealousy, obsession, and betrayal that spills out of the digital world and into the real one.In this episode of The Scarecast, we unravel the infamous “Talhotblond” case—following the trail of chat logs, love letters, and calculated lies that connect Thomas, Brian, Jessi, and a quiet town in upstate New York. It’s a story about the dangers of reinvention online, how far people will go to protect a fantasy, and the chilling consequences of not knowing who’s really on the other side of the screen.If this episode has you side‑eyeing every DM and dating profile, don’t forget to follow and subscribe to the podcast, drop a rating and review, and share it with a friend who loves dark internet stories, true crime, and tales of online obsession.

Step into the shadows of Galster Wilderness Park—one of Southern California’s most talked‑about haunted locations, hidden in the hills of West Covina and wrapped in decades of urban legends, ghost stories, and first‑hand encounters from locals and listeners alike. In this episode, I’m not just revisiting the park’s eerie reputation—I’m finally taking you deep into the stories that have flooded my inbox and comments for years.After more than a decade of doing this podcast, I’m officially going all‑in full time alongside my social media channels, which means more episodes, more investigations, and a lot more nightmare fuel on a consistent basis—so make sure you’re following and have notifications turned on so you don’t miss what’s coming next. I start by exploring the true history of Galster Wilderness Park—42 acres of donated hillside land meant to be a peaceful nature preserve—and how it somehow became ground zero for chilling tales of missing children, occult activity, and a presence that seems to watch from just beyond the tree line.From there, we break down the infamous “Galster Park Butcher” legend: the story of a shadowy killer in a shack, trails that supposedly lead straight to his hideout, and the rumors of KKK gatherings and dark rituals that have only added fuel to the park’s already sinister reputation—despite the fact that no official records have ever confirmed a serial killer operating there. You’ll hear about the ghost boy said to appear at the south entrance around midnight, his form changing from a terrified child warning you away to an older figure beckoning you inside, along with the unsettling prom‑night encounter from a Reddit user who claims to have seen a boy with no eyes and a mouth full of darkness.We also dig into reports surrounding the park’s water tower and trail crossings, where visitors describe oppressive energy, the feeling of being watched from all directions, and a mid‑30s man said to have died by suicide there—contrasted with the one confirmed death on record: a man found hanging from a tree at the south end of the park in June 2013, ruled an apparent suicide by authorities. From disembodied children’s laughter and invisible swings that move on their own, to unexplained handprints on car windows and rocks thrown from the darkness, paranormal teams and casual visitors alike report signs of an intelligent, reactive haunting that seems to follow people long after they’ve left the park.Then we dive into listener stories you won’t find in any article:A man who appears at the park entrance and somehow follows a car all the way back to Baldwin Park.A towering shadow figure that glides across the road with no visible feet, disappearing into the trees.An afternoon at the playground where a swing starts moving on its own, a lone doll in a white dress mysteriously vanishes, and an empty park suddenly doesn’t feel empty at all.A night where robed figures gather in a circle around a “baby” at the playground, chanting and advancing toward parked cars as dread settles over everyone watching.Plastic bags filled with children’s clothes hanging from a tree, a motionless dog in the lot, and a lingering question: what exactly is happening in those woods after dark?Multiple accounts of unseen kids laughing and playing in an otherwise silent, empty park, and giggles that travel from the playground to the locked bathroom with no living source in sight.If this episode gives you chills, don’t forget to follow and subscribe to the podcast, drop a rating and review, and share it with a friend who loves creepy locations, urban legends, or late‑night drives to haunted parks. I’m planning a part two for Galster Park, so if you’ve had your own experience there—or at any other haunted spot—send your story in.

A group of friends, out for a night of harmless fun, stumbled upon something they couldn't explain near a massive Scientology building on Sheila Avenue.Finding a quiet place to park so they can drink and smoke would bring them to this particular parking lot.

Hey everyone, it’s been a while since I last released a podcast episode, so I thought it was time to bring back the kind of content you all love. In this episode, I’ve gathered some intriguing stories from Reddit, covering everything from paranormal encounters to creepy ex-boyfriends to strange creatures spotted on the road. Whether or not you believe these tales, they’re all claimed to be real experiences.We’re kicking things off with a story about a man suffering from long COVID. According to a quick Google search, long COVID is a chronic condition that lasts for at least three months and can affect one or more organ systems, either continuously, in relapses, or progressively. The person in this story has been dealing with it for two years. At one point, his health takes a turn for the worse, but then he has a mysterious encounter that he believes triggers a healing phase. Coupled with bizarre lights in the sky and paranormal encounters in his bedroom, this experience leaves him questioning whether his sudden improvement is just a coincidence—or something more.Story #1: Something was with me in my room last night, i asked it to heal me and it did.An experience by Joel Johnson and Iga Ciesielska, who both reside in the village of Cambuskenneth, within the outskirts of the city of Stirling, Scottlandhttps://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/1cq7uo1/something_was_with_me_in_my_room_last_night_i/Story #1 Pictures: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1u9LWYD_ppWqsNcqGkhnoLi3wdFjKOic_?usp=sharingStory #2: High school boyfriend from 15 years ago that ended up in a mental hospital, let’s not meet… again.An experience by stayathomeplantfamhttps://www.reddit.com/r/LetsNotMeet/comments/1d54rqe/high_school_boyfriend_from_15_years_ago_that/Story #3: My dog alerted me to something at my windowAn experience by YaBoiHorseJesushttps://www.reddit.com/r/LetsNotMeet/comments/159jzsz/my_dog_alerted_me_to_something_at_my_window/Story #4: my friend and i were driving in a pitch black park and saw a poodle walking on 2 legs and it walked offAn experience by foreignforest_https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/16y6qbq/my_friend_and_i_were_driving_in_a_pitch_black/Story #5: Toddler seeing my dead mom?An experience by AdOutrageous9491https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/1cbgxg5/toddler_seeing_my_dead_mom/Connect With MeMake sure to follow @thescarecast on both TikTok and Instagram for thrilling content.https://www.instagram.com/thescarecast/https://www.tiktok.com/@thescarecast?lang=enSubscribe to my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@scarecast and stay updated with my latest videos.For any story requests, concerns, or advertising inquiries, feel free to reach out to me via email at [email protected] you enjoy this episode, please rate and review on your podcast player, and share to friends!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

When you hear the phrase 'Men in Black,' one of the first things that may come to mind for many of you is the famous science fiction movie series starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. But did you know that the comic the movies were based on, Lowell Cunningham's The Men in Black, was itself based on a popular UFO conspiracy? Men in Black, as the name would suggest, are beings that appear, usually in black suits, often after UFO sightings. Many people who believe they have seen Men in Black saw something unusual in the sky moments before. Another widely reported theme involving these beings is the deep feeling of distress the witnesses feel after the sighting. One such man who feels he had an encounter with one of these 'Men in Black' was Dr. Herbert Hopkins. In early September 1976, as the first hints of fall were coming to Maine, Dr. Hopkins found himself consumed by a case he had consulted on the year prior. For whatever reason, Dr. Hopkins couldn't shake the story from his mind... until one strange visitor forced him to.Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thescarecast/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thescarecast?lang=enGo Subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@scarecastBuy Merch: https://thescarecast.com/store/Contact me through email: [email protected] for any story requests or inquiries, concerns, or advertising inquiries.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Many urban legends and myths have been created as stories were shared across generations, often morphing and changing between the decades. However, perhaps the far scarier legends are those that are backed up by real-life events. Since the late 80s, rumors have swirled about a ghost that haunts Disneyland's Matterhorn ride. It started with Disneyland staff members who felt an eerie presence around the Matterhorn, some of them even seeing what they thought was a ghost at a particular point on the track known as Dolly's Dip. What was causing these employees, who worked at the supposed 'happiest place on earth,' to consistently feel like there was darkness along the tracks? To answer that question, we need to go back to 1984. Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thescarecast/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thescarecast?lang=enGo Subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@scarecastBuy Merch: https://thescarecast.com/store/Contact me through email: [email protected] for any story requests or inquiries, concerns, or advertising inquiries.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
