Hunted at the Idanha Hotel
So fun this week to stay in Idaho for Dan's tales. From Boise to his home town of Riggins, the tales are really great! We head to downtown Boise, to a historic hotel that has accumulated more than a century of ghost stories, including tales of a murdered bellman, a woman stabbed to death with scissors, and a terrible presence that violently attacks residents. And when one woman moved into a fourth-floor apartment, she claims to have discovered that even the hotel's ghosts are terrified of something sinister lurking within its walls. The we go deep into Idaho's remote Salmon River wilderness, where whitewater rafters have recently reported seeing a mysterious woman dressed in white, standing alone in places no person should be able to reach. Who is this strange figure, why has she seemingly appeared only recently, and could she be the restless spirit of one of several remarkable women who once called the River of No Return home? Lynze has two very unique and strange tales this week. They could be paranormal, could be glitches in the matrix or could be something else entirely, though who knows what. A gas station that is haunted but also protects the woman working there followed by the most bizarre experience in a Denny's. Hope to see you there for pancakes!

The Witch Farm
Happy Halloween, Creeps and Peepers! We hope you enjoy this weeks show! Tonight, Dan will take you to an isolated farmhouse in the Welsh countryside, where one family's dream home allegedly became the site of seven years, off and on, of escalating paranormal terror—phantom footsteps, impossibly high electrical bills, disturbing apparitions, dead animals, spiritual possession, and something enormous and black moving through the halls. Lynze's first tale is just so upsetting. A man goes missing in the woods. Then weeks later, 911 calls come from seemingly nowhere but also, in the vicinity of where he was last known to be. Who's calling? Lastly, a family continues to experience dark things in this world, 25 years after their Dad opened a toolbox in their rental home.

The Ijiraq
We begin deep in the Canadian Arctic. Inuit tradition warns of a mysterious being that can become invisible, disguise itself as an animal, and lure travelers farther and farther into a frozen wilderness from which they may never return. This creature isn't merely an old legend—because some still claim to have encountered one themselves. Then we go across the frozen wilderness of Lapland where an old Sámi tradition tells of murdered or abandoned children whose restless spirits can still be heard crying from the places where their bodies were hidden. Lastly, for Dan's stories, generations of Inuit children have been warned not to wander too close to cracks in Arctic sea ice, because something beneath the frozen surface may be watching and waiting to drag them into the black water below. Tonight, we'll explore the legend of the Qallupilluit! Then, Lynze has four stories for us. She begins in Iraq where a young child is certain she has seen a demon. Then, another weird one about a glowing cube that two people both see and hear. So strange. For her third story, is it a real man or is it a creature we don't know yet? And lastly, a sweet little tale to round out this wide variety of tales this week! Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free? Want to help us support amazing charities?
