On this episode of MITM Laura is joined by Mike from The Paranormal Road Trippers.  Mike shares some of his very frightening encounters that he has experienced at work and during paranormal investigations.  Some of these experiences have led to spirit attachments.  Then Laura shares some of her own experiences at haunted places and the feelings of residual energy.  During this recording there were many unexpected noises, including clicks and bangs and some possible disembodied voices.  Some of those audio anomalies have been clipped and placed at the end of the episode.  Are they possible EVP’s coming from the haunted objects that Mike owns?

On this episode of MITM Laura and Aaron recount some eerie BEK stories.  BEK is an acronym for black eyed kids or black eyed children.  No one really knows for sure what or who these children are, if they are even children at all.  Some speculate that they are demons, ghosts, aliens or some kind of entity.  
Laura goes back to the 90’s discussing the first BEK story to circulate on the early world wide web.  This story left some people speculating that this phenomenon is nothing more than “creepy pasta”.
Other stories are retold and the strange “coincidences” that follow the unfortunate circumstance of inviting them in to your home or space.  
Also a story about black eyed grandparents??

On this episode of MITM, Laura and Aaron step back in time to Mesoamerica. 

Laura covers the rise of the Aztecs, revealing the harsh reality of how they came to brutally dominate the region with brute force and human sacrifice. Traveling ahead through time, nearly 200 years later, a few factors create the perfect storm that all contribute to the demise of the Aztec Empire. Aaron shares his findings on the discovery of the  “Aztec death whistle” and it’s possible use in rituals that involved human sacrifice to worship the Aztec’s Sun God.

Today paranormal investigators are using this “death whistle” as a trigger object by blowing into the whistle that produces an absolutely horrifying sound of a human screaming in extreme pain. The idea is that the sound of distress may attract negative entities and produce paranormal activity.

On this episode of MITM Laura and Aaron discuss a terrible murder that turned a small town upside down and left women afraid to leave their houses.
The year was 1880 in a small rural Pennsylvania farm town when a tragic murder took place.  A young girl named, Etna Bittenbender,  left her house on a fateful Halloween afternoon, never to return home again.  Her body was found the next day by her siblings.  Almost One hundred and forty-three years later, the murder is unsolved.  It is said that her ghost has been seen in the area that she passed away in.
Hopefully she is resting peacefully.

On this episode of MITM Laura and Aaron discuss, how over the years hitchhiking became less popular and the laws placed against it for everyone safety.  Even the FBI made posters warning against the dangers.
Laura tells the history of how a young girl tragically lost her life and has become known as the vanishing hitchhiker ghost, Resurrection Mary.  Many ghostly hitchhiking stories share similarities to Mary. 
Aaron shares an Appalachian horse riding, hitchhiker story.  One day a man picked up a woman who asked for a ride with him on his horse. In the short amount of time that he had taken her to her destination, he became so enthralled with the woman that he went back to her family the next day to ask her hand in marriage, only to find out the woman had been deceased. 
Stories that had been collected and grouped, by two folklorists in the 1940's are also discussed.
