The Lesser Known Pod

Got a second to get creeped out with us? This week Ashlee probably got haunted.  We're taking you deep into the wilderness of Wyoming — remote cabin, questionable vibes, and a night that turned  very  weird. Let’s just say there were things that went bump in the night… and possibly chanted in the dark. Ash spills the tea on a real-life scarefest involving a cabin, a sleepwalking friend, and so...

They say if you drive down the winding road of 13 Bends in Pennsylvania late at night, you’ll never feel truly alone. The trees close in, the air grows heavy, and some swear the shadows bend just as sharply as the road itself. But the most chilling tale isn’t about the turns or the darkness—it’s about a little boy. A boy who doesn’t belong to this world anymore. Some drivers claim to see him at th...

Ready to wander into the wild, weird corners of Wrangell–St. Elias?  Alaska’s biggest, most remote park… and suddenly, you’re not so sure you’re  alone .  This week, we’re talking about ghost miners, mysterious lodges, and maybe even a creature that’ll make you rethink venturing out after dark. Whispers in abandoned mines, figures that don’t quite belong, and some folklore that’s equal parts “what...

You know those moments where you  accidentally  hurt the people you love the most?  In this episode, we’re pulling you right into our kitchen-table storytelling as we relive some of the funniest, most ridiculous “oops” moments that somehow became family legends.

In this episode, we’re bringing  you  (our favorite listener) right into the heart of a story that has a bit of American history, a bit of the paranormal, and a whole lot of “uhh, what is that in the background of this photo??” We’re talking skeptical eyebrows, ghostly legends, and the kind of creepy historical facts that make you want to double-check your closet before bed. (Spoiler: the phrase “...

Ash finds something on the street (because of course she does), and let’s just say it’s not the kind of “freebie” you’d ever want in your house. Things get weird… fast. And then, because one questionable life choice isn’t enough, Ash also decides to “rescue” an animal that turns out to be… well… let’s just say not exactly your average pup. We’re laughing, we’re cringing, and we’re definitely quest...

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the  spooky  world of energy transference – and trust us, you’re going to want to know about this one! We’re chatting about how empathetic folks (yes, that might be YOU) can unknowingly absorb the vibes of the people around them. Spoiler: it’s not always rainbows and butterflies. But wait, it gets darker. Ever heard of  dark energy ? No, it’s not a new Netflix...

Let's dive into the wild world of learning new skills—because who doesn’t love leveling up? From the nitty-gritty of car maintenance to the magical art of impressions (trust me, you do not want to hear one), we explore both the practical and downright fun abilities we'd love to master. And don't be discouraged, there’s always room for surprise hidden talents! Tune in for a healthy mix...

Ever had a house that just… didn’t feel right? Yeah, us too. Sleep paralysis that felt way too real, orbs floating around the bedroom, and a computer that decided to blast AC/DC at three in the morning, even for a ghost, that's extreme. But it wasn’t just the house. We started to wonder if the people in our lives at the time (and the dark energy they carried) made the activity worse. Was it co...

Wrangell-St. Elias National Park holds more than glaciers and volcanoes — it hides lost planes, ghost towns, and chilling mysteries tied to the Alaska Triangle. In this episode, we uncover the story of a plane crash swallowed by ice and found decades later, and explore the legends that make this park one of Alaska’s most haunting places. Follow us on Youtube, Instagram, Spotify, or Apple! K byeeee...

Have you ever had a date go so wrong that you thought,  “Yep, this is the one I’ll be telling strangers about on a podcast someday”  Because… same.   In this episode, Ashlee shares a personal dating disaster that started out normal enough and then quickly spiraled into pure chaos.

In this episode, we’ve got a listener story, some of our own strange experiences, and yes… that time night vision footage made us question if we should ever sleep again.   Spoiler: you can totally see faces in the dark if you stare long enough — 10/10 do not recommend.   We’ll chat about the possibility that our dreams might actually be interdimensional field trips, why visual evidence makes us bo...
