Tales From The Dark

Carol Ann from The InBetween joins Tales From The Dark for a deep conversation about high strangeness, haunted history, and what it takes to build a strange little corner of the internet from scratch. We get into where she lands on the skeptic-to-believer scale , the cases that followed her home after the mics went off, time slips and the Dark Watchers, whether the trickster behind all of this wan...

A retired couple from a one-stoplight town in Michigan found a flaw in a state lottery game and, over nine years, legally won close to twenty-seven million dollars. No ghost, no crime, just arithmetic and a whole lot of nerve . This week on Tales From the Dark, the true story behind Jerry and Marge Selbee, a game called Cash WinFall, and a locked door that turned out never to have been locked at a...

The horror stories are back, and this time they're wearing red, white and blue. This one's a shorter throwback to our old horror stories format, an armful of creepy, true-ish tales with a Fourth of July coat of paint. We start in the sky, because the Fourth is the single most common date on the whole calendar for UFO reports, and we land in Tinley Park, Illinois, where the lights over the firework...

The Philadelphia Experiment is the most famous ghost story the U.S. Navy ever had to deny: a destroyer escort, the USS Eldridge, supposedly wrapped in a green glow at the Philadelphia Navy Yard in 1943, turned invisible, and teleported to Norfolk and back, leaving sailors fused into the steel decks and others who never came back.  For seventy years it's been passed around as proof of a wartime gov...

In this episode I'm joined by Mr E Files , the voice behind one of the fastest-rising channels in the true crime and unexplained space. We get into the seam where a real crime starts to feel like something stranger, how he builds a researched case into cinematic storytelling without bending the facts to do it, the MrBallen influence he's never shy about, and the question every creator is circling...

Beneath a freeway overpass in Pasadena, California, there is a hundred-year-old flood-control dam, a tunnel mouth with the word HELL painted above it, and a rock shaped like the face of the devil. Locals call it Devil's Gate, and the stories that cling to it are some of the strangest in the state. In this episode, we climb down into the Arroyo Seco to pull the legend apart from the record. At the...

Weeks before Roswel l, a log salvager named Harold Dahl watched six donut-shaped craft over Puget Sound and the next morning a stranger in a dark suit met him for breakfast and recited the whole thing back to him.  It's the case that may have birthed the Men in Black , killed two intelligence officers, and trailed a man who'd later be subpoenaed in the JFK investigation. Officially the dirtiest ho...

Every July, the most powerful men in America disappear into a private redwood forest called Bo hemian Grove and burn an effigy at the foot of a forty-foot owl. We separate what's documented from what got invented: the real 1942 Manhattan Project meeting held in those woods, the Cremation of Care ritual, Philip Weiss's week undercover inside the camp, Alex Jones's hidden-camera footage and the man...

Four ghost lights. One dead railroad man who somehow haunts four different states.  We drive out to the Dover Lights and the Gurdon Light here in Arkansas, the famous Brown Mountain Lights of North Carolina, and the Ghost Road of Saratoga in the Texas Big Thicket — and follow the facts, from a 1922 government geologist who called his shot in the dark to the real 1931 murder buried under a "headles...

Documented 911 calls with no clean explanation — built from released call audio, sheriff's reports, FOIA records, and radar logs. A Bigfoot on the line. A UFO a meteorologist tracked himself. A call placed from an empty funeral home at three in the morning. And two voices, a vanished man and a missing child, whose last words are on tape. The dispatcher couldn't tell a crank from a crisis from some...

Three more listener-submitted accounts from across North America, told the way they deserve to be told. A haunted property with music boxes buried in the woods, a Canadian family who fought off a smiling shadow figure during a pregnancy, two hunters in the Virginia Appalachians who heard something they couldn't explain and more. These aren't my stories . They're yours . Got a story of your own? So...

What if most of the internet isn't real? In this episode, we unpack the Dead Internet Theory — from its origins on an obscure vaporwave forum to the Imperva report confirming bots now generate 51% of all web traffic. We follow the trail through Shrimp Jesus engagement farms, Russia's AI-powered disinformation networks, a $2 bot that can flood the web with 10,000 fake comments, and the spectacular...

YOUR Tales From The Dark: Volume 2 We asked. You delivered. After our first listener stories episode dropped, the inbox started filling up. Stories people have been carrying around for years.

From a rideshar...

On January 3rd, 2026 , U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a raid that left over 100 dead. But it wasn't the operation that sent shockwaves through the internet — it was the testimony of an alleged guard claiming American soldiers deployed a mysterious "sonic weapon" that made his head feel like it was "exploding from the inside," caused mass nosebleeds, and left soldiers v...

This week, we're doing something a little different. No high strangeness this time—instead, I went down a rabbit hole so deep I had to share it with you. We're talking about HAARP. A remote facility in Alaska that shoots energy beams into the sky. Officially, it's just a research station studying the upper atmosphere. Unofficially? Well, that depends on who you ask. Weather manipulation. Mind cont...
