Four children survived 40 days alone in the Colombian Amazon after a deadly plane crash — and the indigenous searchers who found them believe a forest spirit called the duende had been hiding them all along. In this episode, Feliz and Andi dig into the true story behind the Netflix documentary The Lost Children, the ancient folklore of the duende, and what happened when elite Colombian special forces started making offerings to a forest spirit from Black Hawk helicopters.

We break down the origins of the duende, a shapeshifting creature that appears in the folklore of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Colombia, and the Philippines, and explore why the same spirit is described as both a child-stealing predator and a fierce protector depending on who you ask. We also get into the moment that changed everything: an indigenous leader named Don Rubio, a sacred ayahuasca ceremony called yagé, a vision of a tiger moving through darkness into light, and a prediction that the children would be found that day at 3:00. They were.

We also hear a local Key West ghost story from the dad of one of Andi's students involving twin girls, a sea captain, a floating apparition in a white dress, and a construction worker who ran out of a Fleming Street house so fast he left his shoes behind.

Plus, we open the episode talking about the Edgar Allan Poe pop-up speakeasy at the Key West Theater and a sea turtle release at the beach. It is a full episode.

Topics covered: duende folklore, Latin American paranormal, Colombian Amazon, The Lost Children Netflix documentary, ayahuasca and yagé ceremony, indigenous spirituality, Operation Hope, Key West ghost stories, Fleming Street haunting, paranormal podcast, true ghost stories, cryptids, forest spirits, supernatural encounters.

Dive into the shadows with Andi and Feliz on the You Two Scare Me Podcast as they unravel the baffling tale of the Green Children of Woolpit. This medieval mystery from 12th-century Suffolk, England, recounts the sudden appearance of two children with strikingly green skin, speaking an unknown language, and refusing all food except raw broad beans.

Explore the historical accounts from William of Newburgh and Ralph of Coggeshall, whose independent writings lend an eerie credibility to this bizarre event. What caused their green hue? Why did they only eat fava beans? And where did they truly come from?

Andi and Feliz delve into various theories, from the grounded to the unhinged. Could it be a case of hypochromic anemia among Flemish immigrants, as proposed by historian Paul Harris? Or does the story hint at ancient folklore and a passage to an underworld, where beans are the food of the dead? Perhaps it's a coded narrative about racial difference and assimilation, as suggested by Jeffrey Jerome Cohen.

For those who love the truly unexplained, consider the most out-there theory: an alien encounter. Astronomer Duncan Lunan suggests the children could be from a planet orbiting a red dwarf star, explaining their green skin and perpetual twilight home.

Join the You Two Scare Me Podcast for a chilling journey through history, legend, and the paranormal. This episode will make you question everything you thought you knew about the unknown and unseen forces at work around us. Don't miss this deep dive into one of history's most enduring and spooky enigmas!

Mother's Day ghost stories, maternal grief folklore, and paranormal legends about mothers who refused to stop loving their children even after death — that's what we're diving into in this special Mother's Day episode of the You Two Scare Me Podcast.

We're covering three haunting traditions from three completely different parts of the world, and every single one of them is rooted in the same unstoppable force: a mother's love. We start in Japan with the Ubume, one of the oldest named female spirits in recorded ghost tradition anywhere in the world — a woman who died in childbirth and whose ghost kept buying candy for her living baby until someone finally found it alive in her coffin. Then we travel to the cold coastal fishing villages of Nova Scotia, where a paranormal concept called the forerunner describes mothers who felt their children die at sea before any news could reach them, and where grieving women have been seen walking the shoreline long after their own deaths. Finally, we bring it home to America's Crybaby Bridges, where urban legends, firsthand paranormal accounts, dark rituals, and centuries of maternal grief have turned isolated bridges in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and beyond into some of the most enduring haunted locations in the country.

In this episode:

• The Japanese ghost legend of the Ubume and the Kyoto candy shop that still sells child-rearing candy in her honor
• The Buddhist concept of Chi no Ike (the Lake of Blood) and why mothers who died in childbirth were believed to be spiritually punished
• Japanese burial practices developed specifically to prevent Ubume hauntings
• Helen Creighton's Nova Scotia forerunner tradition and the story of Jimmy, whose mother saw him in her doorway the night he died at sea
• The ghostly woman still seen soaking wet along the Nova Scotia shoreline, decades after her own death
• America's Crybaby Bridges — the legends, the rituals, and the firsthand accounts that are genuinely hard to explain
• The Sleepy Hollow Road bridge in Kentucky, the baby powder ritual, and the much darker history underneath it
• The Fudge Road bridge ritual in Ohio — and why saying "mama" three times in the dark is the most unsettling thing we've covered in a while

This one is for every mother out there. The folklore agrees: there is no force in the world — or out of it — quite like yours.

What could be more innocent than a playground? Tucked against the edge of one of Alabama's oldest and largest cemeteries sits a park so notoriously haunted that locals have given it a name that sends chills down your spine: the Dead Children's Playground.

In this spine-tingling episode, your hosts Andi and Feliz take you deep into the shadowy history of Maple Hill Cemetery and the Dead Children's Playground in Huntsville, Alabama.

According to decades of witness accounts, something happens at the playground.

The swings move on their own. Witnesses report seeing puffs of dust rise beneath the swings, as if small feet have just jumped off. Others hear children's laughter, whispers, and singing coming from within the playground. Some have captured orb photographs, and others report seeing the apparitions of children.

This episode asks the question that gets to the heart of why this location resonates so deeply: Why a playground? If the spirits of these children linger, perhaps it's because a swing set represents the one thing an early death stole from them — the simple, uncomplicated joy of being young and alive. Whatever haunts the Dead Children's Playground doesn't seem angry or malicious. It just seems like it wants to play.

Let them play.

In this episode you'll hear:

• The haunted history of Maple Hill Cemetery, Huntsville, Alabama
• The Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918 and its devastating impact on Huntsville's children
• The legend of the Dead Children's Playground and why locals claim it
• Eyewitness accounts of self-moving swings, phantom laughter, and child-sized apparitions
• The limestone quarry connection and its link to paranormal theory

Do twins share a psychic bond? Can identical twins sense each other’s pain, finish each other’s thoughts, or even know when something is wrong from miles away? In this eerie and thought-provoking episode, we explore the uncanny connection between twins through documented cases, folklore, psychology, and firsthand accounts.

From the famous Jim Twins and the groundbreaking Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart to stories of shared dreams, crisis telepathy, and identical twins who seem to experience each other’s emotions, we dig into one of the strangest questions in the paranormal: can two people who began as one ever truly be separate?

We also explore the astonishing case of Krista and Tatiana Hogan and what their shared sensory experiences may reveal about consciousness itself.

Then we dive into one of the most unsettling documented twin mysteries in American history: the deaths of Betty Jo and Bobbi Jean Eller at Broughton Hospital in 1962. Two identical sisters. Separate wards. Death within minutes of each other. No medical explanation.

Is twin telepathy myth, coincidence, or something science still can’t explain?

In this episode we explore:

• Twin telepathy and crisis connection stories
• Shared dreams and uncanny coincidences between twins
• The Jim Twins and separated-at-birth mysteries
• Cultural and spiritual beliefs about twins
• Conjoined twins and shared consciousness
• The unsolved mystery of the Eller twins
• Whether twins may share a bond beyond biology

If you love paranormal mysteries, unexplained phenomena, haunted history, psychology, and strange true stories, this episode is for you.

What's hiding more than 1,600 feet beneath the surface of Lake Tahoe? In this episode of the You Two Scare Me Podcast, Andi and Feliz dive deep into the legend of Tahoe Tessie — one of America's most compelling and least-talked-about lake monster mysteries.

Long before tourists arrived, the Washoe people — who have inhabited the sacred shores of Lake Tahoe for over 12,000 years — spoke of powerful water spirits and a giant creature called the Ong, said to live deep in the lake near the 300-foot Cave Rock. Their warnings would prove strangely prescient.

Sightings began in 1865, when San Francisco socialite I.C. Coggin reported a massive serpentine creature with a head over 14 feet wide and a body stretching 600 feet. From there, the encounters only multiplied — credible witnesses including off-duty police officers, hikers, nuns, an optician, a local TV station owner, and a former sheriff's deputy have all reported seeing something massive, dark, and fast moving through the icy depths. Many described the same chilling detail: a large creature moving "wrong" — not like a fish, not like a snake — leaving a V-shaped wake and diving out of sight in seconds.

We explore the most startling sightings on record, including the 1950s report of a creature keeping pace with a boat traveling over 60 miles per hour, a 1984 eyewitness account of a 17-foot creature surfacing "like a little submarine," and a 2005 sighting at Tahoe Park Beach where witnesses counted five distinct humps.

Is Tessie a surviving plesiosaur or ichthyosaur? An oversized sturgeon? A trick of wind and water? Or is she something else entirely — possibly traveling through a rumored underground river connecting Tahoe to Pyramid Lake nearly 50 miles away? We break down every theory, including the wildest one involving giant escaped pet goldfish.

Plus — in our Somebody Told Me segment, Feliz shares a chilling firsthand ghost story from a woman in Massachusetts: strange indentations in a bed, a medium who sensed a confused spirit, and a haunting theory about why ghosts might walk through walls.

Whether you're a longtime cryptid hunter or just dipping your toes into the strange and unexplained, this episode will make you think twice before looking out over deep, dark water.

Witchcraft history, Salem witch trials, and modern manifestation practices collide in this deep dive into one of the most controversial and misunderstood topics in paranormal history. From medieval witch hunts and mass hysteria to TikTok witchcraft trends and spiritual rituals, we explore how witchcraft evolved from fear and persecution into a modern movement centered on intention, energy, and personal power.

In this episode of the You Two Scare Me Podcast, we unpack the real origins of witchcraft, separating myth from historical fact while examining how fear, religion, and social tension fueled centuries of accusations and executions.

We explore:

• The true role of healers, midwives, and early “witches” in pre-modern societies
• How organized religion and medieval Europe reshaped witchcraft into something feared and punished
• The psychological and social factors behind the Salem witch trials and mass hysteria
• The theory of ergot poisoning and its possible link to hallucinations and accusations
• The dark reality of witch hunts, witch marks, and forced confessions
• How witchcraft survived centuries of persecution and evolved into modern spiritual practices

Then we shift into today’s world, where witchcraft is trending across social media platforms like TikTok. From manifestation rituals and moon water to energy work and intention setting, modern witchcraft looks very different—but still sparks debate.

Is it spirituality, psychology, or something more?

We also dive into the ongoing controversy:

• Is modern witchcraft being watered down or evolving naturally?
• Can manifestation and intention-setting be separated from traditional witchcraft?
• Why does the word “witchcraft” still make people uncomfortable today?
• Is this about belief… or the fear we’ve attached to it for centuries?

Plus, we share a chilling listener story involving a possible loved one sending a sign from beyond during a life-changing surgery—one of those moments that makes you question what’s really out there.

Whether you’re fascinated by the Salem witch trials, curious about modern witchcraft practices, or just love exploring the unknown, this episode will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about witches, history, and the power of belief.

🎧 If you love paranormal podcasts, ghost stories, witchcraft history, supernatural mysteries, and spooky storytelling with a conversational twist, this episode is for you.

Did you know Easter is named after a pagan goddess? That the Easter Bunny has a mythological origin involving a wounded bird, a divine transformation, and a punishment written in the stars? That the world's most powerful ancient religious rite may have involved a psychedelic drink — and kept its secrets for two thousand years?

This week, your two favorite silly, spooky girls are diving deep into the spring goddesses — the fierce, ancient feminine forces behind the season we call spring.

We're tracing the origins of your favorite spring traditions back through time: from Anglo-Saxon England and the mysterious goddess Eostre, to Ancient Greece and the misunderstood myth of Persephone (she wasn't just a kidnapping victim — she was a queen), to 5,000-year-old Sumer and the oldest descent myth ever recorded: Inanna's voluntary journey into the underworld. We also explore why spring cleaning, hot cross buns, and Easter eggs are more pagan than you might think.

This episode will make you look at your spring traditions — and that feeling you get on the first warm day of the year — completely differently.
