Arcanum Obscura

Welcome back to the second part of our creepy games episode. This week we go over four more games. In this week's episode, I go over how to play The Corners Game, or 4 Corners and The Hosting Game. Nate tackles The Hooded Man, like seriously! He performs the ritual, summons him for a ride, then tackles him right out of the cab. Right now he is currently wearing The Hooded Man's sweet hoodie. It re...

This weeks episode is all about creepy games, or ghost games, or technically all the little ritual games going around. We talk a little about the games as we go through the steps to play them. In this episode, part one, I cover The Elevator Game and The Bath Game, while Nate covers Bloody Mary and The Dry Bones Ritual.

In today's exciting episode, okay, maybe not exciting, but always fun. Anyways, in today's episode, I talk about Mel's Hole, a mysterious legend in Washington. An 80,000+ foot deep hole where strange things happen, like ice lighting on fire and cooked sheep having unusual babies... yeah, you'll find out. And Nate discusses the European Organization for Nuclear Research. What it is, what they do, a...

Our first story this week is about two children who mysteriously appeared on the outskirts of the small village of Woolpit in the 12th century. What made this a bit more unusual is that the children had a green tint to their skin, wore odd clothing, and spoke in a strange unknown language. In our second story, Nate tells us about the mass UFO sighting at a school in Zimbabwe in 1994. 62 children i...

Nate has two interesting stories for us. Both involve bad cases of radiation poisoning. And The Demon Core, this one I've heard before and its pretty crazy, we hope you enjoy it.

In 1965 a 16 year old girl was taken in by a friends parents along with her sister while her father traveled for work. Her parents had trusted this woman to take care of their daughters, shortly after arriving to stay with her the abuse and torture began eventually ended in this poor girls death at the young age of 16. This episode covers what the poor girl went through and the what can only be co...

Tonight my good buddy Ed sent me a song he did. One of many songs he does, but this one, called Crypt Walk is all about events involving paranormal, supernatural and cyptids. Its pretty damn good if I do say so myself, and if you dig it check out his other music at: https://theguwumpkis.bandcamp.com/releases

Contrary to how the title sounds, these are not related. Today we cover two stories, I tackle Room 1046, the unsolved murder of Roland T. Owen, or by his real name, Artemus Ogletree. Following my usual darker story Nate steps in with the legend of the Wendigo. A right creepy monster indeed. Its a bit of a mix and match this week but we hope you enjoy.

Nate brought us the story of Skinwalker Ranch before, but in today's episode he talks exclusively about Skinwalkers. A bit of the history and legends about them and gets into what they are believed to look like and change in to.

Hello Hello Hello! We have returned after a short hiatus. Due to injury, work, illness and one extra week of recovery we are finally back! And very excited to be back and recording for all of you, thank you to everyone for tuning in and sticking wit us, we appreciate all of you! In this weeks episode there is no murder, there is no hauntings, there is nor paranormal or supernatural. You may be thi...

Hello to our listeners! This week for New Years Eve Nate brings us a few short stories of heartfelt warmth and compassion! Not really of course or you probably wouldn't be here. We hope you have a fun and safe New Years Eve and a Happy New Year! And thank you for joining us throughout the craziness that was 2021. And we look forward to entertaining, amusing and of course informing you in the upcom...

This weeks episode we talk about The Lawson Family Murders. On December 25th 1929 a man murders his whole family aside from one son. There's a couple theories but no one knows the true reason for this tragedy to this day.

This week we decided to talk about curses. I focus on The Curse of the Bell Witch, the story of a man who supposedly screwed someone over in a deal and felt her wrath. Nate discusses Tutankhamuns Curse, an Egyptian Pharaoh whose tomb was said to be cursed by any who entered it, and the results thereof. We hope you enjoy the episode.

Today we introduce Arkansas' Bigfoot. The Fouke, he's similar to the Florida skunk ape due to the smell but the poor fella only has three toes. We are unsure as to what may have happened to the rest of his toes, but the rest assured! we will not figure it out in this episode! He's been around for quite a while but most of the sightings come from the '70s. But! he has been the star of many movies!

Today we have two stories for you, this is the second part of the Evil Children episodes, the first wasn't labeled as such but was episode 54 "The Murder of Shanda Renée Sharer". In this evil children episode, Nate brings the story of Brenda Ann Spencer, a 16-year-old involved in a school shooting in 1979. I bring to the table The Slender Man Stabbing, which I'm sure most people know about from it...

Nate brings us the origins and stories of the Yeti! A supposedly nice travel mug! no, obviously the giant abominable snowman of a creature! There's not too much to add as an explanation today, we all at least know of what a Yeti is, right?

Trigger Warning, this case involves a child In January of 1992 one of the most horrific murders I have read about to date was committed to a young girl who was only 12. The perpetrators of this crime were all kids as well, four of them ages 15-17. This murder was brutal, horrific and the catalyst to it is pathetic, something so ridiculous took this girl away at such a young age. Please go into thi...

Hello hello hello! I'm a day late getting this up. This week's episode covers Buryatia Dyatlov Pass. now I'm sure you know of Dyatlov but this is a different incident that occurred 20 years after in around the same region, it's just as weird and odd. one major difference is there is one survivor to what happened. The was also a third incident, again in the same regional area which I mention a litt...

wow, our second Halloween special, I hadn't even realized a year has gone by already! In this episode, we tell some creepypasta stories. I have 3 stories for The Holders Series while Nate tackles Ticci-Toby. We hope you enjoy and have a fun and safe Halloween!

Hello and welcome back! first thing, we got new mics, and I'm not too sure about them, I was either really out of it or the mic muffles me lol. But in this week's episode, we partly talk about Sirens due to going way way off track more than usual, but we get there... well, Nate does! We also bring up what they believe killed the family in the Sierra Nevada case though we disagree.

This episode is a lot different than the others. Nate is out of town and I'm not feeling well so I thought it could be a good idea to pull up a list of missing persons and read each one. I initially had 50 missing person cases but one didn't load. Part of the reason I did this is due to the "missing white woman syndrome" which I'm sure you've heard about. I went online and found a list of recent m...

Here there be monsters! well, yes and no, on the podcast yes, in this story, no. But here there definitely be an abandoned ship and a missing crew. so today we talk about the abandoned ship, The Mary Celeste, and the incidents that are believed to have led to the ship being abandoned. Even with the research done into why the ship had been left adrift, there isn't much about the crew. Where did the...

In this week's episode, we discuss the strange web of Alex Murdaugh. This is an odd story and with so much going on right now in true crime-related news this one may have been a little overshadowed but it's pretty crazy. In this case, we have, hate crime leading to murder, intoxication leading to death, two more murders, a hired hitman who fails or intentionally fails, drug addiction, and embezzle...

In today's thrilling installment we talk about the murders at Corpsewood Manor. Its an interesting but kinda open and closed case. One of the victims has an interesting story though, LSD experiments funded by the government, kinda weird. As always we hope you enjoy.

Today we talk about the dark origins of two fairytales, The Little Mermaid and Cinderella. Most of these tales come from older times, they were dark and twisted, the tales had been collected by the Grimm brothers in a book and eventually many of them were softened up and made for children, but we don't care about those, we want the dark gritty one for this little series!
