Ain't It Scary? with Sean & Carrie

We’re here at episode 11 for part 2 of our HOLLYWOOD HORRORS series - Haunted Hollywood! Ahh, Hollywood. The home of incredible highs of stardom…and unspeakable lows of tragedy. One minute you’re the talk of the town, and the next you can’t even get a call back from your agent. So many have come to awful ends in Hollywood, California, and many of them never left…even after death. Carrie takes us o...

We’ve hit double digits, baby! In celebration of episode #10, Carrie begins another double: a two parter on HOLLYWOOD HORRORS! Part 1 is all about films that were supposedly cursed - likely because of their content - during and even after their production. These films, coincidentally, are all in the horror genre: Rosemary’s Baby, The Omen, Poltergeist, and The Exorcist. From on-set injuries and tr...

Episode 9 brings us the mysterious case of the Somerton Man - an Australian “John Doe” found deceased from unknown causes on a beach, without much in his pockets but a scrap of paper emblazoned with the words “Tamam Shud” and, well, a lot of questions. Was the Somerton Man a mysterious foreign spy? A lovesick soldier? Or…someone else entirely? Sean tries to lay out all the clues and theories, whil...

Ahh, the post-Halloween malaise, full of nauseating amounts of discount candy and grey November days. It’s the perfect time to uncover the truth behind the “Real Candy Man”, Ronald Clark O'Bryan, and the urban legend he inspired - that of the boogieman trick-or-treat candy poisoner. Carrie walks us through this sad, bizarre case, and discovers that no child has ever been hurt or killed by tainted...

In episode 7 Sean guides us through the lesser known (but still incredibly strange) story of George Adamski, the first reported extraterrestrial contactee in U.S. history. Did Adamski really pal around with a being calling themselves “Orthon of Venus”? Or was he just a giant con artist? Carrie keeps finding shades of L. Ron Hubbard in the would-be sci fi novelist, while Sean marvels at the crazy l...

For episode 6, Carrie took a journey back through American history to investigate the enigma of the lost colony of Roanoke: the first substantial colony sent from England to populate what would become America, and one of the first great unexplained mysteries of the New World. Why did the colony at Roanoke disappear, and where did they go? Were they wiped out by nearby tribes or illness? Or, did th...

On episode 5, Carrie takes Sean through centuries of history to dissect one of the weirdest phenomena of all time—spontaneous human combustion, a.k.a when people burst into random flame, seemingly for no apparent reason. Through a few selected tales, Carrie tries to figure out what could cause a person to burst into such white-hot flame that they’re completely incinerated aside from the odd foot,...

In episode 4, Sean takes us on a deep dive into a sky dive—1971’s so-called “D.B. Cooper” plane hijacking. On November 24th, 1971, a man calling himself Dan Cooper committed the only unsolved case of air piracy in history. We take a look at all the suspects - good, bad and downright stupid - and try to find the man who had the flight attendants swooning.________________________________________Conn...

For episode 3 Carrie dove deep into a strange tale out of New Jersey: The Watcher, who wrote one family creepy and vaguely threatening letters until they left town. Who was the Watcher? What was their motive? Why were the residents of the neighborhood such dicks to this tormented family? Sean & Carrie try to find some answers in this convoluted story.________________________________________Connect...

On part 2 of our series, we chat about 4 more legendary locations and people in the CT area worth discussing—the spooky Dudleytown, the unsettling Fairfield Hills State Hospital, the tragic Leatherman, and the just plain weird Headless Horseman of Canton. Carrie doesn’t understand why half of the Fairfield Hills buildings are still up, while Sean thinks the Horseman is just a ripoff of Sleepy Holl...

On our very first episode and part 1 of our series, we dive into two of the most intriguing legends from the state of Connecticut—the legendary “mutants” The Melonheads, and the notoriously haunted Remington Arms Factory in Bridgeport. Carrie finds surprising historical backstory for the Melonheads legend, while Sean finds the Ghost Adventures lockdown in the factory laughable.____________________...
