Ep. 37 Stranger Than Stranger Things: MKUltra Exposed
Épisode 37
lundi 19 janvier 2026 • Durée 33:08
What if I told you Stranger Things wasn’t just inspired by the 80s - it was inspired by actual government experiments on unwitting citizens?
Project MKUltra was the CIA’s decades-long program testing mind control, psychic abilities, and psychological torture on people who never consented. We’re talking LSD dosing, sensory deprivation, electroshock therapy, and attempts to create actual telepaths.
This isn’t conspiracy theory bullshit - this is documented, declassified, admitted-to-by-the-government history.
Join me as we dive into the real Hawkins Lab, explore why the Duffer Brothers were obsessed with this story, and uncover just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Spoiler: it’s way darker than anything Netflix showed you. Are we ready? Let’s get into some truly creepy shit.
Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of non-consensual human experimentation, psychological torture, suicide, and government abuse. Listener discretion is advised.

Ep. 36 Unsolved Mystery of Patricia Meehan: The Woman Who Walked Into Nowhere
Épisode 36
lundi 12 janvier 2026 • Durée 39:28
On April 20, 1989, 37-year-old Patricia Meehan crashed her car on a remote Montana highway, climbed out unhurt, and walked into an empty field—never to be seen again. Or was she? Over 5,000 people reported seeing her in the months and years that followed, always at truck stops, always alone, always talking to herself. But she was never found.
This deep dive explores one of the most bizarre and potentially paranormal missing persons cases in American history. Patricia Meehan’s disappearance defies conventional explanation: her footprints vanished into thin air, massive searches found nothing, yet thousands of witnesses swore they saw her wandering the Pacific Northwest for years.
Discover the haunting details: the silent stare after the crash, the footprints that led nowhere, the verified sightings across multiple states, and the heartbreaking search by parents who died without answers. Was Patricia suffering from amnesia? Did she intentionally disappear? Or did she walk into something paranormal we can’t explain?
35 years later, this case remains unsolved and deeply disturbing.

Ep. 35 The Novitiate: Bullet Holes, & Haunted Tragedy - FAN REQUEST
Épisode 35
lundi 5 janvier 2026 • Durée 39:25
Discover the dark history of Wisconsin’s most haunted abandoned mansion—the Alexian Brothers Novitiate in Gresham, Wisconsin. This true paranormal story features everything: a mother’s tragic grief, a peaceful monastery turned battleground, an armed standoff that made national headlines, and all the potential for some serious hauntings.
In this episode of Creepy Shit Podcast, I investigate a fan-requested haunted location right in our own backyard. Built in 1939 for a disabled daughter who died before ever seeing it, this 35-room limestone mansion became a Catholic novitiate before being seized by the Menominee Warrior Society in a violent 34-day armed occupation in 1975. The standoff featured gunfire, the National Guard, and even Marlon Brando. After suspected arson destroyed the interior, the mansion sat abandoned for decades—but paranormal investigators believe the spirits never left.
Listen Now & experience the heavy, watchful energy that still permeates this tragic location. With restoration currently underway and plans to convert it into an Airbnb, this haunted mansion may soon be open to ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts. Could you handle spending a night where monks prayed, warriors fought, and a young girl’s spirit may still be waiting?
This documentary-style investigation covers:
- The heartbreaking death of Jane Peters and her mother’s grief
- Life inside the Catholic monastery (1950-1972)
- The Menominee Warrior Society’s “Deed or Death” occupation
- Gunfire, National Guard intervention, and negotiation with Marlon Brando
- The mysterious fire that gutted the mansion in 1975
- Current paranormal activity and restoration efforts
- Why this location has every element needed for a genuine haunting
**Perfect for fans of true ghost stories, haunted history, abandoned places, Wisconsin paranormal activity, Native American history, and well-researched supernatural investigations. If you love shows like Morbid, And That’s Why We Drink, Spooked, or Lore, you’ll love this deep dive into one of the Midwest’s most haunted and forgotten locations.
Ep. 34 Hill of Crosses
Épisode 34
lundi 29 décembre 2025 • Durée 34:49
Deep in Lithuania lies a hill covered with over 100,000 crosses - a place so psychologically intense it defies explanation. The Hill of Crosses has mysterious 14th-century origins, survived three Soviet bulldozings, and continues to affect visitors in ways that challenge rational thought. This isn’t your typical ghost story - it’s something far more unsettling.
Join us as we explore the true history of Kryžių kalnas, from its unknown medieval beginnings to its role as a symbol of resistance against Soviet oppression. Discover why people risked everything to secretly place crosses on this hill, why it resurrected itself after being destroyed, and what happens when 700 years of human desperation gets concentrated in one location.
No fabricated hauntings needed - the documented reality is disturbing enough. This is the story of a place where faith, trauma, and defiance created something that operates by different rules than normal geography.

Ep. 33 The Sweating Sickness: England’s Deadliest Mystery
Épisode 33
lundi 22 décembre 2025 • Durée 57:35
What if England’s most terrifying plague was never really a disease at all?
Between 1485 and 1551, something stalked through Tudor England that made the Black Death look like child’s play. The Sweating Sickness could kill you in two hours flat – and you’d be conscious for every agonizing minute of it. It didn’t care if you were rich or poor, young or old. But here’s the fucked up part: it seemed to *choose* its victims.
This wasn’t your typical medieval plague. It targeted intellectuals and nobles while sparing peasants. It appeared out of nowhere, terrorized the kingdom, then vanished completely – only to return decades later like some kind of supernatural boomerang from hell. And when it finally disappeared for good? It left behind a trail of paranormal activity that still haunts England today.
From the black hounds with glowing red eyes that prowled London’s streets during outbreaks, to the fever ghosts still seen wandering Greenwich Palace, to the cursed manuscript that killed every scholar who tried to read it – this is a medical mystery that defies every rule of science and ventures deep into occult territory.
Was the Sweating Sickness a natural disease that science still can’t explain? Or was it something far more sinister – a supernatural weapon wielded by the Tudor dynasty to eliminate their enemies? And if the legends are true, the knowledge of how to summon it might still exist today, hidden away and waiting for the right moment to unleash hell once again.
Join us as we dive into one of history’s most disturbing unsolved mysteries, where medicine meets the paranormal and the line between disease and curse becomes terrifyingly blurred.

HOLIDAY BONUS Episode: Victorian Christmas - Why December is Creepier Than October
Épisode 33
jeudi 18 décembre 2025 • Durée 28:35
Why was Victorian Christmas Ghost Stories Scarier Than Halloween - I’ve got the Evidence-Based Paranormal History for you in this Holiday Bonus Episode.
Think Christmas is all warm and fuzzy? Think again. Before Santa and consumerism took over, Christmas Eve was THE night for telling terrifying ghost stories designed to scare the absolute shit out of your family. The Victorians understood something we’ve completely forgotten: December is objectively creepier than October.
In this bonus episode, we’re diving deep into the dark origins of Victorian Christmas traditions, exploring why our ancestors gathered around fires during the longest nights of the year to tell stories about the dead. We’ll cover real, documented Victorian hauntings—including the Cheltenham Ghost (one of the best-recorded paranormal cases in history), and the infamous Cock Lane Ghost that captivated all of London.
Discover why Charles Dickens didn’t just write A Christmas Carol—he was obsessed with Christmas ghost stories and wrote some truly disturbing tales. We’ll explore the psychology behind why winter makes us see ghosts (spoiler: carbon monoxide poisoning played a role), Victorian death culture and mourning jewelry made from human hair, and why the commercialization of Christmas killed this incredible tradition.
This is evidence-based paranormal history at its finest—well-researched, genuinely unsettling, and factual. No speculation, no bullshit, just documented cases and the fascinating cultural history of why Christmas used to be scary as hell.

Dive into one of history’s most credible poltergeist cases - the Epworth Rectory haunting of 1716.

Mysterious knocking, violent bed shaking, phantom footsteps, and an entity they called “Old Jeffrey” tormented this religious family for two months.
This true Christmas ghost story features multiple witnesses, historical documentation, and unexplained phenomena that still baffles researchers 300 years later. Was it a poltergeist? Mass hysteria? Or something else entirely? Explore Victorian supernatural history, Christmas ghost story traditions, and one of the most well-documented hauntings in paranormal research.

Ep. 30 Bachelor's Grove Cemetery & The Phantom Farmhouse
Épisode 30
lundi 1 décembre 2025 • Durée 46:08
Alright ghost junkies, buckle up because we’re diving deep into the most haunted cemetery in America. Located just outside Chicago, Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery might only be one acre of forgotten ground, but it’s generated more legitimate paranormal activity than any other location in the country - and I’ve got the receipts to prove it.
We’re talking about the famous Woman in White (captured in one of the world’s most compelling ghost photographs), a phantom Victorian farmhouse that appears and disappears at will, and over 100 documented supernatural encounters spanning eight decades. This isn’t some tourist trap bullshit - this is the real deal, backed by photographic evidence, consistent eyewitness accounts, and phenomena that’ll make even the biggest skeptics question what they think they know about life after death.
From its origins as a 19th-century pioneer cemetery to decades of heartbreaking vandalism that may have awakened the restless dead, Bachelor’s Grove has earned its reputation as paranormal investigation ground zero. I’ll break down the history, the hauntings, and why I believe this tiny graveyard has become a supernatural magnet for spirits who refuse to be forgotten.
Whether you’re a true believer or just love a good ghost story, this deep dive into Bachelor’s Grove will leave you planning your own midnight cemetery visit. Just don’t blame me when you start seeing things that shouldn’t be there.

Ep.29 The Stairs to Nowhere: Winchester Mystery House
Épisode 29
lundi 24 novembre 2025 • Durée 43:46
What happens when grief, guilt, and a supposed curse collide with unlimited wealth? You get the Winchester Mystery House - arguably the most bizarre mansion ever built in America.
In this episode, we’re diving deep into the true story of Sarah Winchester, heir to the Winchester rifle fortune, who spent 38 consecutive years building a mansion to confuse the vengeful spirits of everyone killed by Winchester rifles. We’re talking staircases that lead to ceilings, doors that open to brick walls, and construction that literally never stopped for almost four decades.
This isn’t just another haunted house story - this is documented history that’s somehow stranger than any legend. Sarah Winchester held nightly séances, obsessed over the number 13, and genuinely believed that if the hammering ever stopped, she would die. And here’s the creepy part: the construction didn’t stop until the day she died in 1922.
We’ll explore the real history behind the Winchester curse, break down the absolutely mind-bending architecture of this 160-room labyrinth, discuss the 1906 San Francisco earthquake that Sarah interpreted as the spirits’ anger, and dive into over a century of documented paranormal activity - from phantom footsteps and doorknobs turning on their own to sightings of Sarah herself still inspecting her endless project.
Whether you’re a paranormal believer, a skeptic, or just someone who loves bizarre true stories, the Winchester Mystery House delivers. The mansion still stands in San Jose, California, and you can tour it today - if you’re brave enough to walk through staircases to nowhere and stand in the séance room where Sarah communicated with the dead every single night.
Join me as we unpack one of America’s most fascinating mysteries - a story where documented history and paranormal phenomena blur together in the most unsettling way possible.
