Project Black Garden: A Monsters & Myths Podcast

They walk among us in the daylight: smiling, laughing, breathing, just like you. Their skin is warm, their voices soft. But when the sun dips below the horizon… the illusion fades. Beneath the veil of flesh lies something far more terrifying… bones painted in colors of the damned, skulls etched with the spirits of the lost. They are the cursed children of the Nightbloom, bound by an ancient hex, d...

They say she waits… in the dark… behind the glass. Her name is a whisper on the lips of the brave… or the foolish. They say if you stand in front of a mirror, in the dead of night, and whisper her name three times… she’ll appear. A bloodied face. A vengeful scream. A chilling fate awaiting those who dare summon her. What is it about a name that calls the dead? A forgotten queen drowning in blood?...

From ancient folklore to modern nightmares, the Boogeyman has haunted our collective fears for centuries. He’s the monster under the bed, the shadow in the corner of your room, the thing you hear breathing when you’re supposed to be alone. They say he’s just a story… a whisper in the dark to keep children in line. But what if the Boogeyman is real? What if he’s always been here, watching… waiting…...

For centuries, they have haunted our legends… whispered through fire-lit tales and carved into the stone of ancient ruins. Some call them myths fantasies spun from fear. But what if the truth is far more terrifying? What if the dragons of old were real… and they never truly vanished? But myths don’t leave behind scorched earth. Legends don’t carve their shadows into the bones of lost civilizations...

Last season, we opened the first journal. We thought we were uncovering old stories — instead, we awakened something. Now… more journals have surfaced. Pages soaked in blood, inked in desperation, hidden for centuries by those who knew too much. Each one pointing to monsters the world still refuses to believe in. But denial doesn’t make them disappear. Welcome back to Project: Black Garden, A Mons...

From the dark rituals of Haitian Vodou to the fast-moving terrors of modern apocalypses, we’ll uncover the origins, legends, and science behind the undead. Are they mindless monsters - or mirrors of our own fears and flaws? Zombies. They’ve stalked our nightmares for centuries. Ancient folklore. Voodoo curses. Biological nightmares. Apocalypse warnings. They’re not just fiction… they’re a reflecti...

You wake up. You can’t move. The air is heavy - like something is pressing down on your chest. Then you see him… standing in the corner. Motionless. Watching. A tall figure draped in shadow, his face hidden beneath the brim of a wide, dark hat. He doesn’t speak. He doesn’t breathe. But you know he’s there… He’s been seen in nightmares, in waking terror, in places where the light never reaches. A d...

For centuries, whispers of this seductive demon have haunted the dreams of the vulnerable. She lures her prey with irresistible beauty, only to drain their very essence - leaving behind empty souls and unanswered questions. But who, or what is she? Is she a creature born from superstition, a cautionary tale to keep us in line, or something far more sinister… lurking just beyond the veil of our rea...

Some call them visitors from the stars. Others call them invaders from the shadows. They’re watching us… studying us… and, perhaps, planning their next move. From abduction stories and government cover-ups to their sinister experiments and alleged motives to manipulate humanity, we explore the darkest corners of alien lore. Are they here for peace? Or something far more malevolent? Welcome to Proj...

They call him the strongest man alive. A force of nature. A living weapon. But strength like his? It was never meant for good. It was meant for violence… for death. Hundreds have died by his hands. Some begged. Some ran. Some never saw it coming. He tore through them all the same. But now? The monster is tired. The killer wants to die. This is his story. The legend of the Strong Man. Welcome to Pr...

For centuries, mermaids have been painted as enchanting creatures of the sea - but beneath their shimmering scales lies a far darker truth.

Prepare yourself for chilling stories of malevolent mermaids, u...

They move in the corners of your vision… tiny, black shadows, twisted and clawed. They’re always watching, waiting. You might tell yourself it’s just your mind playing tricks… but the truth is darker than you could ever imagine. These monsters don’t want your soul - they want your eyes. You might feel them watching… scuttling… crawling closer when you blink. You might hear them whisper your name f...

They say legends are just stories… until you hear the screams in the night. Until you find the bodies - drained, lifeless, left with nothing but two puncture wounds and a mystery no one wants to solve. Something lurks in the darkness… and it’s hungry. The Chupacabra. A nightmare with fangs. A creature that doesn’t just kill - it feeds. Stalking farmsteads, preying on the helpless, vanishing before...

Under the pale glow of the full moon, ancient legends come alive. They prowl the forests, lurking in the shadows… half-human, half-beast, cursed to roam the night with an insatiable hunger.

Unearth the terrifying truths behind the Werewolf. We...

Deep in the shadows of the Appalachian wilderness lies a secret - a creature whose presence sends chills through the night. A being with glowing red eyes, massive wings, and an aura of terror that defies explanation. Its name is whispered in hushed tones: Mothman. They say it’s an omen of doom, appearing before tragedy strikes. A guardian? A curse? Or something far more sinister? From the abandone...

In the dead of night, when the world falls silent, something stirs in the darkness. A monster with claws like jagged knives, soaked in blood, dragging its grotesque, misshapen body across the earth.

Welcome...

Accounts of creatures that lurk just beyond the edge of our understanding… beasts,...
