  • Terrifying & True | Beast of Bray Road: Wisconsin Werewolf Folklore & Cryptid Horror

    Terrifying & True | Beast of Bray Road: Wisconsin Werewolf Folklore & Cryptid Horror
    May 18 2026
    The Beast of Bray Road is a chilling modern cryptid legend and one of America's most terrifying werewolf sightings — a true story of eerie folklore, haunted highways, and eyewitness horror from rural Wisconsin. In the early 1990s, drivers on Bray Road in Elkhorn reported seeing a massive wolf-like creature that defied explanation. Explore the chilling accounts, the rural legend that gripped a community, and the cryptid mystery that remains unsolved. Perfect eerie suspense storytelling for horror fans who love folklore-backed scares.

    Inside this episode:
    • The 1991 sightings that turned Bray Road into a cryptid landmark
    • Linda Godfrey’s investigation and the newspaper story that gave the Beast its name
    • Eyewitness reports of a wolf-headed creature walking on two legs
    • The dogman and werewolf folklore surrounding Wisconsin’s haunted roads
    • Possible real-world explanations, from coyotes and wolves to bears and mistaken identity
    • Why the legend survives, even without physical proof

    This episode of Terrifying & True explores the frightening balance between true cryptid sightings, American folklore, rural horror, and skeptical investigation. It is not just a story about whether a werewolf was really seen on a Wisconsin road. It is a story about how a few terrifying encounters, a powerful name, and a lonely stretch of asphalt can create a modern monster.

    Because somewhere outside Elkhorn, Wisconsin, the road is still there.

    The ditch is still there.

    And when the headlights sweep across the grass, it is easy to understand why people kept talking.

    We’re telling that story tonight.

  • Unknown Broadcast | Deadly Writers, Haunted Doctors & Classic Radio Terror: Four Old-Time Horror Stories

    Unknown Broadcast | Deadly Writers, Haunted Doctors & Classic Radio Terror: Four Old-Time Horror Stories
    May 17 2026
    Unknown Broadcast returns to the Weekly Spooky feed with another strange cargo of old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage radio mystery, gothic terror, and shadowy tales where love curdles, death lingers, and fate seems to have a key to every locked door.

    Tonight’s transmission brings four eerie classics from the darker corners of the dial: a writer haunted by the women he created, a sinister door in old Paris, a doctor’s final confession, and a waiting man whose patience may be the most dangerous thing in the room. The signal is warm. The fire is bright. The host is smiling. And yet, somehow, the room keeps getting darker.

    🖋️ Three Women — A struggling writer creates a woman too vivid to stay safely on the page, but when fiction begins demanding blood, the ending may no longer belong to him.
    🚪 Sire de Maletroit’s Door — In old Paris, one wrong step through one wrong door becomes a trap of honor, marriage, and menace, where escape may depend on accepting the impossible.
    💉 The Last Letter of Dr. Bronson — A doctor leaves behind a chilling confession of ambition, murder, madness, and revenge, written as though the dead still have one final diagnosis to deliver.
    🕰️ The Man Who Waited — A quiet household hides jealousy, illness, and betrayal, while one patient watcher waits for the perfect moment to turn love into something fatal.

    Four classic OTR horror stories pass through Unknown Broadcast tonight… and whether it begins with a book, a door, a letter, or a man who simply waits, the ending may already be written somewhere in the static.

  • Summer Horror Stories | Werewolves, Cryptids & Haunted Roads

    Summer Horror Stories | Werewolves, Cryptids & Haunted Roads
    May 16 2026
    Haunted roads, cryptid encounters, and creature-feature horror stories converge in this scary stories anthology. Four chilling tales of werewolves, backwoods monsters, and paranormal nightmares—perfect for your next road trip or summer adventure. If you love spooky season all year, folklore, and eerie supernatural storytelling, dive into tonight's creepy compilation of blood-soaked horror stories that blur urban legends with creature features.

    Tonight’s lineup starts in a museum of oddities where a harmless internship becomes a grotesque transformation nightmare. From there, a summer camp prank spirals into swamp horror, mad science, and mutated creatures in the dark. Then the road turns deadly with a phantom passenger story that feels like pure late-night highway dread. And finally, a beach trip becomes a full-on werewolf war as Bella Taibon uncovers a savage family secret under the full moon.

    • I Worked in a Museum of Oddities Until the Oddest Thing Happened to Me — by Michael Kelso
    An unpaid summer internship at a cryptid museum turns monstrous when a mysterious creature bite changes everything. This one mixes body horror, creature-feature chaos, and a mean little twist on small attraction roadside weirdness.
    • Summer Slaycation — by David O’Hanlon
    What begins as a juvenile camp prank in the Cypress Maze erupts into swamp terror, deranged experiments, and plant-animal abominations in a crumbling bayou house. Fast, nasty, funny, and packed with backwoods creature mayhem.
    • I Used to Drive a Delivery Truck, Until the Incident — by Michael Kelso
    A delivery driver starts getting written up for carrying a passenger he cannot see—until the camera proves something impossible is riding shotgun. Quiet, eerie, and deeply effective haunted-road horror.
    • Bella’s Holiday — by Rob Fields
    A summer beach trip to Shore City turns deadly when Bella and Einny discover a brutal werewolf conspiracy hiding inside a family reunion. Equal parts supernatural action, vampire-werewolf conflict, and savage vacation horror.

    From dead-end routes and cryptid exhibits to swamp laboratories and moonlit beach bloodshed, this collection is all about summer going rotten in the most entertaining way possible. Pack sunscreen if you want, but you may get more use out of silver, headlights, and a very fast exit.

  • Scary Real-Life Hauntings | Urban Legends & Eerie Paranormal Mysteries

    Scary Real-Life Hauntings | Urban Legends & Eerie Paranormal Mysteries
    May 15 2026
    Terrifying & True returns with a special collection of the most memorable real horror stories, urban legends, unsolved mysteries, paranormal cases, cursed media, and disturbing true crime covered on the show. This first compilation gathers seven chilling topics that all circle the same terrifying question: what happens when a story becomes too powerful to stay only a story?

    From childhood mirror rituals to medical nightmares, from Hollywood curse legends to baffling hotel murders, from viral chain-letter fear to a brutal crime twisted by Satanic Panic, these episodes explore the strange borderland where folklore, fear, rumor, tragedy, and real documented events collide.

    Inside this special Terrifying & True collection:
    • Bloody Mary — A deep dive into the mirror-summoning urban legend, tracing the myth through Queen Mary I, Mary Worth, Elizabeth Bathory, sleepover folklore, and the fear of what might stare back from the glass.
    • Sleep Paralysis — The terrifying real phenomenon of waking up frozen, unable to move or scream, while shadow figures, “old hag” entities, and nightmare hallucinations seem to enter the room.
    • The Poltergeist Film Curse — A look at the tragic legacy surrounding the Poltergeist films, including real human skeleton props, on-set incidents, and the heartbreaking deaths that fueled one of horror cinema’s most famous curse legends.
    • Room 1046 — The bizarre unsolved murder of Artemus Ogletree, who checked into a Kansas City hotel under the name Roland T. Owen and was later found tortured, dying, and surrounded by unanswered questions.
    • The History of Chain Letters — From ancient curse letters and religious warnings to dime-letter schemes, internet spam, “share or die” posts, and viral fear, this episode uncovers why people keep passing threats and promises forward.
    • The 1982 Murders at Corpsewood Manor — The disturbing true crime case of Charles Scudder and Joseph Odom, whose isolated Georgia home, occult imagery, and brutal murders became tangled in media sensationalism, Satanic Panic, homophobia, and local legend.
    • The Herrmann Family Poltergeist Case — The famous 1958 Long Island haunting where bottles popped open, objects flew, investigators arrived, and a quiet suburban house became the center of one of America’s most discussed poltergeist cases.

    Together, these stories form a haunted chain of belief: say the name, wake in the dark, fear the curse, enter the locked room, forward the warning, judge the outsiders, and finally watch the house itself come alive. This is a collection about the stories we inherit, the fears we spread, and the mysteries that refuse to die quietly.

    This is Terrifying & True: a special collection of real-life horror, paranormal legends, unsolved crimes, cursed stories, and the strange history behind the things that still keep us up at night.

    Inside this episode:

    • May 11, 1936 — Dracula’s Daughter

    • May 11, 2007 — 28 Weeks Later

    • May 13, 1988 — Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood

    Plus: a birthday roll featuring Robert Pattinson, David Boreanaz, Megan Fox, and Bill Paxton, a Then & Now Bite about horror’s power to mutate across generations, and a Weekly Recommendation for The Strangers: Chapter 1, a modern masked-intruder nightmare that proves some old fears never stop knocking.

  • Terrifying & True | Setagaya Murders: Japan's Most Chilling Unsolved Case

    Terrifying & True | Setagaya Murders: Japan's Most Chilling Unsolved Case
    May 11 2026
    The Setagaya Family Murders remain one of Japan's most disturbing and chilling unsolved true crime cases: a brutal family killing, overwhelming forensic evidence, and a killer who somehow vanished. On December 30, 2000, the Miyazawa family spent what should have been an ordinary night before New Year's. What followed was a nightmare that would baffle investigators for decades—a case so baffling, so eerie, that it feels almost supernatural. Henrique explores the haunting details, the forensic mysteries, and why this remains one of the world's most unsolved and unsettling crimes.

    But what happened after the murders is what has haunted investigators for more than two decades.

    The killer did not immediately flee. He stayed inside the Miyazawa home for hours. He ate from the kitchen. He drank barley tea. He used the bathroom. He tended to his own injuries. He touched the family computer. Then he left behind an astonishing trail of evidence: blood, fingerprints, palm prints, clothing, shoes, a hip bag, gloves, a scarf, handkerchiefs, and even DNA.

    And still, more than twenty years later, police do not know his name.Inside this episode:
    • The Night of the Murders: How a quiet family home in Setagaya became the scene of one of Japan’s most infamous unsolved crimes.
    • The Miyazawa Family: The ordinary lives behind the case — a father, mother, daughter, and son killed inside the place they should have been safest.
    • The Killer Who Stayed: Why the murderer’s hours-long behavior inside the home makes this case so uniquely disturbing.
    • A Mountain of Evidence: Blood type, DNA, fingerprints, palm prints, clothing, shoes, and personal items left behind.
    • Theories and Dead Ends: Robbery, personal motive, random violence, foreign suspect theories, park-side tensions, and why none have solved the case.
    • The Unanswered Question: How can a killer leave so many traces and still disappear?
    This is not a case defined by a lack of evidence. It is defined by the terrifying failure of evidence to become identity. The Setagaya Family Murders are a story about a home violated, a family destroyed, and a killer who left behind almost everything except the one thing investigators needed most: his name.In Setagaya, the most frightening part is not that the killer vanished without a trace.It is that he left so many traces and vanished anyway.

    We’re telling that story tonight.
