Terror in the Creek: The Jersey Shark Attacks of 1916
In the summer of 1916, Americans were just beginning to fall in love with the Jersey Shore—and most had little reason to fear what was swimming beneath the surface.Then, over twelve terrifying days, five people were attacked by sharks and four were killed. What began in the surf at popular seaside resorts took an almost unbelievable turn when the attacks moved inland to the narrow waters of Matawan Creek.Ashley and Lanie travel back to the summer that changed America’s relationship with sharks: from the first attacks and the strange theories used to explain them, to the panic and shark hunts that followed. They explore the mystery of what species was responsible, why the attacks may have happened, and how the events of 1916 helped create the fear that would later become synonymous with Jaws.Sources: Smithsonian Magazine, “The Shark Attacks That Were the Inspiration for Jaws”: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-shark-attacks-that-were-the-inspiration-for-jaws-15220260/ — Detailed overview of the 1916 attacks, public panic, turtle theory, shark hunt, and the event’s cultural link to Jaws.[smithsonianmag]• National Geographic, “2 Weeks, 4 Deaths, and the Start of America’s Fear of Sharks”: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/150702-shark-attack-jersey-shore-1916-great-white — Strong historical context on the victims and how the attacks transformed public attitudes toward sharks.[nationalgeographic]• Borough of Matawan, “History Matawan Shark Attacks”: https://www.matawanborough.com/matawan/History/Matawan%20Shark%20Attacks/The%20(World%20Famous)%20Matawan%20Shark%20Page!.html/_top — Local historical account of the July 12 Matawan Creek attacks involving Lester Stillwell, Stanley Fisher, and Joseph Dunn.[matawanborough]• Borough of Matawan, “Excerpt from Sharks: Silent Hunters of the Deep”: https://www.matawanborough.com/matawan/Our%20COMMUNITY/History%20of%20Matawan/Matawan%20Shark%20Attacks/Excerpt%20from%20’Sharks%20-%20Silent%20Hunters%20of%20the%20Deep’.html/_top — Additional local chronology covering Charles Vansant at Beach Haven and Charles Bruder at Spring Lake.[matawanborough]• Monmouth Timeline, “The Jersey Shore Shark Attacks of 1916”: https://monmouthtimeline.org/timeline/the-jersey-shore-shark-attacks-of-1916/ — Concise regional timeline of the events, especially the Matawan Creek portion.[monmouthtimeline]

The Haunted Forest of Dow Hill
Dow Hill Forest sits high in the mist-covered hills of West Bengal, India—a place surrounded by tea gardens, colonial history, and generations of unsettling folklore. In this episode of Haunted Real Estate, Ashley shares her own experience traveling through nearby Darjeeling before heading into the history and legends of Dow Hill. From the still-operating Victoria Boys’ School and the infamous stretch known as “Death Road” to unexplained footsteps, voices in empty corridors, and the chilling legend of a headless boy seen disappearing into the forest, we explore how one beautiful Himalayan landscape became known as one of India’s most haunted places—and where documented history ends and folklore begins.Sources:This episode combines documented institutional history with local folklore and reported paranormal claims. Accounts of ghosts, apparitions, unexplained deaths, executions, and specific sightings are presented as legend, visitor testimony, or popular folklore—not verified historical fact.

Government Experiments Part 1
In 1950, San Francisco residents went about their normal lives — walking to work, sending kids to school, opening their windows, and breathing in the city’s famous fog — with no idea they had become part of a classified military experiment.As part of Operation Sea-Spray, the U.S. Navy released bacteria off the coast of San Francisco to study how a biological attack might spread through an American city. The public was never warned. The test remained classified for decades. And shortly afterward, a rare cluster of infections appeared at a local hospital.In this episode of Haunted Real Estate, Ashley introduces a new series on documented government experiments and explores the unsettling history of Operation Sea-Spray — a story about secrecy, consent, Cold War fear, and how a place can be haunted by decisions that were very, very real.Sources:National Academies, CDC, US Army and Senate testimony on open‑air biowarfare tests; reporting from KQED, Smithsonian Magazine, PBS American Experience; historical materials on Ohlone land and Mission San Francisco de Asís from NPS and Muwekma Ohlone sources.
