  • Monthly Spooky | Haunted Castles & Stolen Corpses

    Monthly Spooky | Haunted Castles & Stolen Corpses
    Jan 26 2026
    Haunted castles, ghost stories, eerie history, and true crime weirdness—this month’s Monthly Spooky with Henrique & Michelle goes full winter-night mode with paranormal legends, unsettling discoveries, and a real-life disaster shaped by brutal weather.
    Inside this episode:
    • Chillingham Castle (UK): infamous haunting claims, grim history, and why it’s often called one of the most haunted places around.
    • Chillingham cattle: the strange, preserved lineage tied to the castle’s eerie reputation.
    • Mummified cheetahs in Saudi Arabia: an unsettling preservation story that feels like a nature-horror headline.
    • The Knickerbocker Theater collapse (1922): a snowstorm-fueled tragedy, the chaos of the night, and what changed afterward.
    • January horror movie roundup: what worked, what didn’t, and how modern horror “hits” (or misses) in 2026 vibes.

    Plus fresh spooky news:
    • Haunted-castle headlines and why “history + tourism” is the perfect ghost-story engine.
    • Cemetery corpse heist and the human bone market rabbit hole (because of course that’s a thing).
    • A holiday-season detour into haunted dolls—and the rules people swear by when they keep them in the house.

    New here? This episode stands alone—jump in for creepy history, paranormal talk, and the kind of spooky news that makes you stare at the ceiling at 2 a.m.
    So… which story freaks you out most: haunted castles, stolen corpses, or snowstorm disasters?

  • Unknown Broadcast | Snowbound Radio Horror: Classic Winter Tales of Ice, Whiteouts, and Cold Death

    Unknown Broadcast | Snowbound Radio Horror: Classic Winter Tales of Ice, Whiteouts, and Cold Death
    Jan 25 2026
    Unknown Broadcast returns with old-time radio horror stories and classic OTR suspense—a winter-loaded anthology where snowstorms swallow roads, ice keeps secrets, and the cold feels alive. If you love radio suspense, ghost story anthologies, and classic mystery-thriller drama, this one is built for headphones on a dark night.
    • 🧊 “The Ice Palace” — A glittering winter miracle with a rotten core… and something inside it that shouldn’t ever thaw.
    • 🥶 “Death Has a Cold Breath” — A stranger’s journey turns fatal when the night air itself seems to exhale wrong.
    • 🛣️ “Snow on 66” — A lonely highway, a whiteout wall, and a ride you’ll wish you never offered.
    • ❄️ “The Time of the Big Snow” — A town disappears under drifts, and what’s buried doesn’t stay buried forever.

    These are winter horror stories, snowstorm thrillers, and ice-cold radio nightmares—the kind that make your heater sound like footsteps.

    The snow will stop eventually… but what followed your tracks won’t.
