An ordinary Marketplace listing leads to a conversation with a stranger and plans to meet.
Nothing unusual at first.

A price, an address, someone saying they'll be home after work.


These stories follow what happens when people show up and realize the person they've been messaging has left a few things out.

Volume five.

Six stories sent in by you, and this time Haley and Tim are doing the reading. An 8-year-old in Texas gets up early on a Saturday and finds a tall figure standing in the living room. He says it ran down the hall toward the garage and was "darker than dark."

A small town in the '90s starts getting late-night phone calls from someone reading off long strings of numbers, and then one day it just stops.

A 16-year-old in Wisconsin tells us about a dream he had at six that he still can't shake, and what it left behind. Then it gets heavier.

An anonymous listener's house has been escalating for a while: tarot cards in the basement, a figure in the bathroom that looked like them, a hidden crawlspace locked with four deadbolts, and opera singing coming out of the woods.

A former paranormal investigator from the Point Pleasant area takes us back to 2013, when a kid in Gallipolis, Ohio started talking to something called Cristoff, and a holy water test that was supposed to catch a faker didn't go the way anyone planned.

We close with a story from the late Terry Aitken: a diamond bracelet that vanished from the bottom of the stairs, turned up months later in a stack of towels, and what he and his wife saw in the corner of the room that night. This one's dedicated to Terry, and to Whitney and Carter.

In 2023 An anonymous poster on a dying imageboard claims to have managed a research team at a facility that studies craft nobody's supposed to have.

No galactic federation, no channeled messages  just a guy describing what sounds like a job. UFOs are mostly unmanned drones.

They're built in a mobile construction facility that sits in the ocean and disappears every time we get close.

The people flying them aren't hostile, they're just not very interested in us, and the poster compares the arrangement to zookeepers who don't hate the animals but aren't there to talk to them either.

Both of those kids were alive.

Six of your stories this week. A security guard alone in a locked building who pulled the badge logs to prove it. A shadow man in an old-fashioned hat on a third floor.

A house in southwest Missouri with a history nobody can find. A white sphere on a Wisconsin back road that got named before it got proven.

Two men in tracksuits at four in the morning in the UK, asking one question too many.

And a stopped clock in an Indiana jail that started ticking at 11:11.

This week I sat down with JD Lauriat, the creator of Haunted House Flippers a comedy/horror audio drama about a couple who inherit an old Victorian in Uncanoonuc, New Hampshire and set out to fix it up and sell it.

Janet wants to learn some new skills. Tom is convinced he's found the Holy Grail of haunted houses. The whole thing is told through the handheld recorder Tom refuses to put down.

 We talked about the show, how it came together, and what goes into building an entire haunted universe out of nothing but sound.

Summer 1988, Bishopville, South Carolina. A seventeen-year-old changes a flat tire at 2 a.m. on the edge of Scape Ore Swamp and reports that something seven feet tall came out of the field after him.

Within weeks: plaster footprint casts, chewed-up cars, a million dollar reward for a live capture, monster hunters in the woods, and merchandise.

In February 1958, bottles started unscrewing their own caps and emptying across the floor of a quiet Long Island ranch house while the Herrmann family stood and watched.

The papers named the culprit "Popper." History remembers it as the Seaford Poltergeist. Over about five weeks, more than sixty separate disturbances tore through the home at 1648 Redwood Path in Seaford, New York. Bottles popped, a sugar bowl exploded, a bookcase went over, and objects sailed across rooms with nobody standing near them.

Police showed up. Reporters showed up. A local detective all but moved in trying to catch someone faking it and left without his hoax. Two parapsychologists from Duke University logged the whole ordeal and walked away with a theory and no tidy ending.

This is also the case that loosely inspired one of the most famous horror movies ever made, minus the Hollywood inventions people still repeat as fact.

We're staying with what the witnesses actually reported and what the investigators actually wrote down, right up to the possibilities nobody has managed to rule out in almost seventy years.

An adolescent boy under stress? A trapped something? A prank committed enough to fool a homicide investigator and a room full of skeptics? You get to decide.

We're just here to put it all on the table.

In 2021, Tales From The Dark investigated a job posting for the Dallas Cellar Club: a supposed upscale wine lounge hiring hostesses for twenty-two dollars an hour.

What I found instead was a twenty-minute recruitment recording, a rotating cast of phone numbers, and a pattern that looked a lot like something far worse than a bad job. I couldn't prove what it was, and we said so.

This is the follow-up.

In 2024, a listener reached out with four self-recorded phone calls documenting months of contact with the same operation, now recruiting under a different name. What's on those recordings is worse than anything in the original episode.

This time, I traced the operation back over fifteen years, across at least five names and twenty-four cities, and found it's still actively recruiting right now.

This episode contains explicit sexual language, racialized degradation, and descriptions of psychological manipulation.

 It is not my usual paranormal format. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

The complete, unedited recordings referenced in this episode are available in full on our Patreon at patreon.com/talesfromthedark.

If you recognize any part of this investigation, report it to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov, or call the FBI's tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324).

We'll also be posting current job listings and phone numbers tied to this operation directly in the Tales From The Dark Facebook group as I find them.

Carol Ann from The InBetween joins Tales From The Dark for a deep conversation about high strangeness, haunted history, and what it takes to build a strange little corner of the internet from scratch.

We get into where she lands on the skeptic-to-believer scale, the cases that followed her home after the mics went off, time slips and the Dark Watchers, whether the trickster behind all of this wants to be understood or is just having a laugh at our expense, and the one piece of evidence she would put in front of a hard skeptic.

We also talk about building The InBetween alongside Mr. InBetween, growing a community of 20,000-plus InBetweeners, and her advice for anyone thinking about starting a show of their own.

The horror stories are back, and this time they're wearing red, white and blue. This one's a shorter throwback to our old horror stories format, an armful of creepy, true-ish tales with a Fourth of July coat of paint.

We start in the sky, because the Fourth is the single most common date on the whole calendar for UFO reports, and we land in Tinley Park, Illinois, where the lights over the fireworks came with a very earthly list of suspects and one very unsettling backup location.

From there it's a petty little history lesson on why the country's been blowing out the candles two days late since 1776, a batch of facts that includes the president who was taken out by a bowl of cherries, and the reason Jaws is secretly a Fourth of July movie.

A listener sends in a haunted house story where a pack of kids goes ghost hunting instead of watching the show, and it ends on a face in a window that more than one of them saw.

And we close on the eerie one, the three founding fathers who all died on the Fourth of July, two of them within hours of each other, and the ghosts a few of them supposedly left behind.

Also my chihuahua Charles, who experiences every fireworks display as a personal act of war.

Grab a hot dog. Try not to look up.

The Philadelphia Experiment is the most famous ghost story the U.S. Navy ever had to deny: a destroyer escort, the USS Eldridge, supposedly wrapped in a green glow at the Philadelphia Navy Yard in 1943, turned invisible, and teleported to Norfolk and back, leaving sailors fused into the steel decks and others who never came back.

 For seventy years it's been passed around as proof of a wartime government cover-up, complete with Einstein, secret unified-field physics, and, later, time travel.

This episode follows it all the way down. The real wartime science the legend grew out of, the brilliant drifter who invented the whole thing in a handful of letters, the documents that put the ship hundreds of miles from Philadelphia on the day it supposedly disappeared, and the claims that welded the Eldridge to the Montauk Project and the year 2749. 

And one detail almost nobody tells you: the man who sold the Philadelphia Experiment to the world as fact later stood up at a conference and confessed to being a paid government disinformation agent. The documents say one thing. The legend says another.

I lay them side by side and let you stand on the pier yourself.

In this episode I'm joined by Mr E Files, the voice behind one of the fastest-rising channels in the true crime and unexplained space.

We get into the seam where a real crime starts to feel like something stranger, how he builds a researched case into cinematic storytelling without bending the facts to do it, the MrBallen influence he's never shy about, and the question every creator is circling right now: where AI belongs in this kind of work, if it belongs at all.

Beneath a freeway overpass in Pasadena, California, there is a hundred-year-old flood-control dam, a tunnel mouth with the word HELL painted above it, and a rock shaped like the face of the devil. Locals call it Devil's Gate, and the stories that cling to it are some of the strangest in the state.

In this episode, we climb down into the Arroyo Seco to pull the legend apart from the record. At the center of it is Jack Parsons: the brilliant, self-taught chemist who helped found the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and modern American rocketry, and who recited Aleister Crowley's Hymn to Pan over his rocket tests while running the West Coast's leading Thelemic lodge out of a Pasadena mansion. 

We get into the Babalon Working, the 1946 occult ritual Parsons performed alongside future Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

We dig into the Tongva cemetery unearthed in 1938 to build a reservoir, the children said to have vanished at the dam, and the freeway-building serial killer Mack Ray Edwards, whose shadow still falls across the unsolved disappearance of eight-year-old Tommy Bowman.

Portal to hell, haunted dam, occult conspiracy, and an unsolved cold case — we lay the folklore and the documented history side by side and let you decide what is really buried at Devil's Gate.

Weeks before Roswell, a log salvager named Harold Dahl watched six donut-shaped craft over Puget Sound and the next morning a stranger in a dark suit met him for breakfast and recited the whole thing back to him.

 It's the case that may have birthed the Men in Black, killed two intelligence officers, and trailed a man who'd later be subpoenaed in the JFK investigation.

Officially the dirtiest hoax in UFO history. Unofficially, nobody can quite close the lid. Maury Island, 1947.

Every July, the most powerful men in America disappear into a private redwood forest called Bohemian Grove and burn an effigy at the foot of a forty-foot owl.

We separate what's documented from what got invented: the real 1942 Manhattan Project meeting held in those woods, the Cremation of Care ritual, Philip Weiss's week undercover inside the camp, Alex Jones's hidden-camera footage and the man it sent in with a rifle, and how the UFO angle, the owls, and the Rockefeller disclosure files got bolted on.

No verdict. Just the file.

Four ghost lights.

One dead railroad man who somehow haunts four different states. 

We drive out to the Dover Lights and the Gurdon Light here in Arkansas, the famous Brown Mountain Lights of North Carolina, and the Ghost Road of Saratoga in the Texas Big Thicket — and follow the facts, from a 1922 government geologist who called his shot in the dark to the real 1931 murder buried under a "headless brakeman" legend.

Documented 911 calls with no clean explanation — built from released call audio, sheriff's reports, FOIA records, and radar logs.

A Bigfoot on the line. A UFO a meteorologist tracked himself. A call placed from an empty funeral home at three in the morning. And two voices, a vanished man and a missing child, whose last words are on tape.

The dispatcher couldn't tell a crank from a crisis from something real. Neither can we.

What if most of the internet isn't real?

In this episode, we unpack the Dead Internet Theory — from its origins on an obscure vaporwave forum to the Imperva report confirming bots now generate 51% of all web traffic.

We follow the trail through Shrimp Jesus engagement farms, Russia's AI-powered disinformation networks, a $2 bot that can flood the web with 10,000 fake comments, and the spectacular 60-day collapse of Digg's relaunch.

Along the way, we meet a KGB defector who predicted all of this in 1985, a French president who received a deepfake of his own overthrow, and the CEO of OpenAI getting compared to a man in a hot dog suit.

The internet might not be dead — but it's on life support, and the nurses are bots.

The Tape Library has quietly become one of the most respected names in paranormal podcasting. Documentary-style storytelling. Meticulous research.

A philosophy that lets the story breathe without forcing conclusions.

Now part of Elijah Wood and Daniel Noah's SpectreVision Radio network, The Tape Library joins Tales From The Dark for an hour-long conversation on the craft — covering everything from UFOS to the complicated legacy of the Warrens and the listener stories that keep us both up at night. 

We dive into how each of us approaches research, skepticism, and storytelling. What makes a case worth covering?

How do you present controversial claims responsibly without alienating believers or losing credibility? What's the line between entertainment and journalism in paranormal content?

 And what happens when you start getting stories from listeners that sound exactly like the cases you've been researching?

If you're a fan of fact-forward paranormal content, documentary-style podcasting, or just want to hear two people who spend too much time in dusty archives talk about ghosts, cryptids, and high strangeness — this one's for you.

The 2026 High Strangeness Review series kicks off with a bang. Declassified UK Ministry of Defence files reveal British intelligence actively sought UFO technology in the 1990s.

Germany logs record UFO sightings. The MH370 search resumes. A Patagonia trail camera captures unexplained lights that scientists can't identify. 

We investigate the haunted Room 311 at Chattanooga's Read House Hotel, where the ghost of murder victim Annalisa Netherly still haunts guests.

Plus: auto-brewery syndrome explained, Spielberg's "Disclosure Day" trailer breakdown, the Doomsday Clock hits 85 seconds to midnight, and the month's strangest news.

YOUR Tales From The Dark: Volume 2

We asked. You delivered.

After our first listener stories episode dropped, the inbox started filling up. Stories people have been carrying around for years. Decades, some of them. Things they've never told anyone — or told someone once and got laughed at, so they buried it.

Not here. Not anymore.

In this episode, we're handing the mic back to you. From a rideshare driver in Denver who decided traffic laws were merely suggestions, to a family's thirty-seven years on a California cattle ranch interrupted by something that didn't want them there. From phantom phone calls asking for a woman named Sarah — on numbers that don't exist — to a man who saw his roommate in two places at once.

A bald man in a tattered blue suit, praying on the side of a midnight road. A scream in the Wisconsin woods that made a grown woman never go outside after dark again. A house in New Jersey where abductees show up uninvited — because something sent them there. And a Missouri plantation home with water in a bathtub that hasn't had running water in years.

These aren't Hollywood horror stories. These aren't creepypastas. These are real experiences from real people who trusted us enough to share them.

The question is: what's really out there? And why does it keep finding us?

On January 3rd, 2026, U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a raid that left over 100 dead.

But it wasn't the operation that sent shockwaves through the internet — it was the testimony of an alleged guard claiming American soldiers deployed a mysterious "sonic weapon" that made his head feel like it was "exploding from the inside," caused mass nosebleeds, and left soldiers vomiting blood and unable to move.

The White House amplified the story. The Pentagon went silent. And suddenly, a decade of mysterious "Havana Syndrome" attacks on American diplomats started looking very different.

 In this bonus episode, we connect the dots between the Venezuela claims, the disturbing history of Havana Syndrome, and the bombshell revelation that the U.S. has reportedly captured a device believed to cause these attacks.

 From the Navy's secretive 2019 destruction of two tons of classified weapons data to the global directed energy arms race between the U.S., Russia, and China — the pieces are falling into place. The question is: what picture are they forming?

This week, we're doing something a little different. No high strangeness this time—instead, I went down a rabbit hole so deep I had to share it with you.

We're talking about HAARP.

A remote facility in Alaska that shoots energy beams into the sky. Officially, it's just a research station studying the upper atmosphere. Unofficially? Well, that depends on who you ask.

Weather manipulation. Mind control. Earthquake weapons. Downed aircraft. Even claims it could flip the Earth's magnetic poles.

Wild conspiracy theories? Maybe. But when members of the European Parliament launch investigations and former governors start asking questions, I think it's worth a closer look.

We asked, and you delivered—our listeners sent in their most compelling, heartfelt, and jaw-dropping stories, and we're sharing our favorites.

From unexpected encounters to life-changing moments, these are the real experiences that remind me why I love this community.

Grab your headphones and settle in, because these stories are too good to keep to ourselves
