This Halloween, we're diving deep into one of the world's eeriest legends, black-eyed children. From chilling 1980s sightings to theories linking the phenomenon to tragic murders of the 1960s, these pale, black-eyed visitors have haunted the woods and internet forums alike for decades.

Join Monica and Cash as they unravel real reports, folklore roots, and paranormal theories behind this haunting mystery. Why do so many witnesses describe the same thing? And why do the stories always begin with a knock at the door?

It's our Halloween special, and yes, we're in costume for this one! You can watch the full video episode on YouTube to see our spooky fits and all the eerie expressions that didn't make it into the audio version.

This Halloween season, we're tucking you in with true tales that'll make you sleep with one eye open. From a ghost that steals cabled and remotes to a mimic pretending to be someone's mom, these stories are the perfect mix of eerie, intimate, and unexplainable.

You'll hear from Nova, one of the original co-creators, about the night she saw a woman drenched in blood, and a listener whose wife somehow knew what happened in his recurring nightmares, but won't say how. Plus, a husband's chilling encounter on a dark rural road that might not have been entirely human and a ghost that seemingly enjoys a good rocking chair.

So grab a blanket and settle in, it's our October Listener Story special.

This week, Monica and Cash tumble down the haunted rabbit hole of online listings for cursed and possessed objects, but things get weird fast. One listing vanished right in the middle of recording. One bear named Fanny just wants to play video games. A clown doll refuses to reveal the spirit inside it. And one mysterious doll has Monica eerily close to clicking "Buy Now."

Join us as we explore the scary, the absurd, and the possibly possessed corners of the internet, where every "pre-loved" item might just love you back a little too much.
