  287 | The Hat Man Has Been Here For A Thousand Years 10.09.2026 55min

  Almost everyone who sees him describes the exact same thing. A tall shadow in a wide brimmed hat, sometimes a top hat, sometimes a bowler (he's a man of many hats I guess you could say), standing in the doorway at two in the morning, watching, while you lie there unable to move. This episode is the Hat Man in the witnesses' own accounts. A woman woken by her own mother's voice, sisters who both saw him from their bunk beds, a little girl who watched him stand over her dying grandmother.This time we took it a step further than first hand accounts. We track him backward through every culture that's already met him, because it keeps looking like one visitor under a laundry list of names. Odin wandered the old Norse world as a tall man in a broad hat who appeared in doorways right before someone died. Papa Legba stands at the Haitian crossroads, and that same crossroads figure became the tall stranger in black you meet at midnight in the American South. Baron Samedi waits at the grave in his top hat. El Sombrerón haunts a girl's window in Guatemala. The Alp stands over your bed in Germany.Same hat, same threshold, from cultures that never touched. If you've ever woken up and felt someone in the room, this one's for you. Real firsthand Hat Man encounters, the cross cultural entity behind him, and the sleep paralysis science, all in one. Be sure to share your personal experiences with the hat man in the comments below for a chance to make it into our Hat Man Listener Stories episode which is coming down the road once we collect enough stories from all of you! Buckle up, this ones a doozy.

  286 | Edison's Secret Machine to Speak with the Dead 25.08.2026 57min

  Thomas Edison, the man who quite literally lit up the world, spent the last years of his life trying to build a telephone that could call the dead. Not a séance, or ouija board. An actual machine with wires, valves, probably a few odd little pulleys and gears, sitting on a bench in his lab pointed straight at the afterlife.And he's honestly not even the strange one in tonight’s episode.. Tonight, five men who wrote the rulebook for how modern science is supposed to work. The ones with their names carved into buildings all over the country. Every one of them went on the record saying he'd seen something no scientist is allowed to believe. Seems like maybe the people who wrote the rules turned out to be the ones who’d later go on to break them. Let's get into it.Did these men truly experience the supernatural splendor of the other side? Or were they bamboozled by the crafty ways and parlor tricks of spiritualist con artists? Let's get into it.CHAPTERS:0:00 - Ol' Tommy Edison, Geniuses & Ghosts0:40 - Intro2:41 - Welcome Back Tangent Warning5:30 - EPISODE STARTS HERE6:22 - STORY 1: Thomas Edison & The Phone to the Dead8:00 - Rage-baiting Trolls12:55 - Frank Sumption's (RIP) Spirit Box Invention in 2002 14:50 - STORY 2: Carl Jung & His Crafty Cousin19:46 - Christian Likes Em Jung20:35 - THE RAGEBAIT INTERMISSION22:30 - STORY 3: THE FATHER OF CRIMINOLOGY, CESARE LOMBROSO24:30 - Italian Doctors & Scott Really Does Tan Well Please Stop Doubting It 25:30 - Back to Cesare…29:00 - Parlor Tricks Vs.

  285 | Alien Encounters Too Strange To Report Anywhere Else 13.08.2026 1t 1min

  This week we skipped the headlines and the documentaries and went straight into the forum archives, comment sections, and the places where only the most reliable of witnesses openly talk about the strangest night of their lives. These are (ALLEGEDLY!) firsthand alien encounters and abduction stories, told in the witnesses' own words.Grey aliens standing at the edge of your bed, ufo sightings witnessed by multiple people at the same time, saucers that stop a whole homeless shelter in its tracks over an Arizona highway on a not so average Tuesday night, and even a camper in the Sierras who woke up next to a dead fire after being plopped inside a craft and told the origins of humanity (finally, concrete evidence, amiright?) We can't verify any of these, but that's kind of the whole point.We got no news crews, and no proof, just people who were dead sure of what they saw and had nowhere else to say it. If you're a sucker for alien encounters, abduction stories, and obscure UFO accounts pulled from the deep corners of the internet, you're in for a treat.Seen an alien face to face? Let's talk about it.

  Night Nurses Reveal What They See at 3 AM & More 28.07.2026 50min

  Every night shift nurse has one story they won't tell their family at Thanksgiving, and almost all of them happen at exactly three in the morning. Okay, that's a little theatrical, maybe not exactly 3 a.m., but you get it. The night shift is notoriously spooky by ambiance alone, and when you add the frightful, and often times completely unexplainable experiences shared by those brave enough to work the night shift, it's no wonder these folks make the big bucks. Just from posting clips leading up to this episode, we received countless first hand accounts from nurses all over the globe, sharing their experiences through comments and dm's. So much so, that we might just need to make a part two, filled with exclusively listener submissions. So if you're a nurse, or know a nurse that has experienced a thing or two they can't explain while on the job, please be sure to comment your story below, or send it in to [email protected] (make sure you don't add an S at the end of TALE. It's singular, not plural.) and you might just be featured in the next installment.TIME STAMPS:0:00 - Night Shift Nurses Have Seen Some Crazy Stuff2:30 - Florence Nightingale Believed In Spirits3:22 - INTRO THEME6:41 - How Do You Do's / Banter / New Merch Drop 8:45 - STORY: Room 82712:00 - Christian Talks About The Twilight Zone13:30 - Oscar The Therapy Cat, Steere House Nursing, 200715:33 - The Big Why?17:57 - Christian Shirt Intermission 18:39 - STORY: The Boy In The Red Pajamas25:30 - Return of the Wrinkled Ball Bag26:28 - STORY: GEORGIE & THE ELEVATOR30:55 - The Terminal Lucidity Phenomenon34:01 - Shout Out Reliant K Intermission 35:15 - STORY: Man at the End of the Bed39:00 - I Do Know Movies… 41:00 - LISTENER STORY: The Radio45:20 - End of Life Dream Research & Other Studies48:00 - OUTRO 49:40 - Talk To Your Family on Halloween / L8R G8R________Become a Member at www.talltalesocialclub.com Shop Merch at www.talltalesocialclub.com/merch Follow us on Socials @talltalesocialclubFollow Mothy on X @heymothySubmit your story → [email protected]

  Park Rangers STILL Can't Explain These 4 Things 30.06.2026 56min

  Park rangers work in some of the most remote places in the country, and over the years, a surprising number of them have shared stories they still can't explain.In this episode, we look at four real accounts from named park rangers. You'll hear from members of the Navajo Rangers' Special Projects Unit, whose investigations included reports of Bigfoot, UFOs, hauntings, and shape-shifters, including one case where coins reportedly fell from nowhere during an investigation. We also cover the story of a backcountry ranger in North Carolina who watched a man hike up a mountain in the middle of the night and silently stare at a campground full of sleeping children until sunrise. Then there's Yellowstone ranger Bob "Action" Jackson, who described seeing a tall, two-legged, fur-covered figure moving through the backcountry, and Galen Clark, America's first park ranger, who claimed he once heard the cries of a drowned child coming from an empty lake in Yosemite.We also take a look at several well-known national park disappearances, including Dennis Martin, Stacy Arras, and Trenny Gibson, along with the Missing 411 phenomenon and the strongest arguments both for and against it. Some of these stories have reasonable explanations. Others are a little harder to dismiss.Everything in this episode is based on real people, documented cases, and firsthand accounts. Whether you think there's something strange happening in the wilderness or not, these are stories that have stuck with the people who experienced them.Get your thick hiking socks ready, we're going off trail.CHAPTERS:0:00 - We're Going Off Trail..1:13 - INTRO 3:40 - The Tangent Disclaimer5:37 - A Vast & Untouched Wilderness6:55 - STORY: THE RANGERS WHO GOT THE OTHER CALLS 12:00 - Don "The Rain Man" Decker 15:12 - INTERMISSION: Christian Is Snarky / Get Off Your Soap Box 16:21 - Creepy Human's Episode on the Horizon?

  281 | Things Fire Watchers See That No One Else Believes 16.06.2026 1t 3min

  Imagine being alone in a glass box on top of a mountain, a hundred feet in the air, with nothing but a radio, a pair of binoculars, and a single ladder going up, and at 2 a.m., something starts climbing the ladder. In this episode we're taking you inside the strange, lonely, and quietly haunted world of America's fire lookouts.This week we unpack real, first-person accounts from people who spent their summers alone in fire towers across the Pacific Northwest and the Canadian boreal forest, including the legendary Fire Tower Road encounter, a documented BFRO report from Oregon's Ochoco National Forest, the eerie radio voice heard by writer Trina Moyles, and the unsolved 2006 disappearance of fire lookout Stephanie Stewart.Whether you believe in Bigfoot, Missing 411, or just the slow, weird power of isolation on the human mind, this one will keep you up at night.

  Real Wendigo Cases That Ended in Court (Or Worse!) 02.06.2026 1t 1min

  Before the Wendigo became every horror movie's favorite antlered skeleton boy, it was a real fear in real communities, and people kept ending up in actual courtrooms over it. We pulled four documented Wendigo encounters spanning almost 400 years, from a Jesuit missionary's letter in 1636 to a Wisconsin bow hunter who emailed a paranormal blog in 2019. Somewhere in the middle is a guy named Swift Runner who confessed to being possessed by one before they hanged him. Court records. Trial transcripts. Witness testimony. No anonymous Reddit posts, no creator fan-fic, and the cases get worse the closer you read them.If you're into Wendigo lore, Algonquian folklore, true paranormal encounters, cryptid deep dives, or the general genre of "North America has older monsters than the country itself," this one's for you. We cover the origin of the Wendigo legend, Wendigo psychosis as a documented phenomenon, the Swift Runner case, the Jack Fiddler trial, the Manitowoc County sighting, and one of the earliest written paranormal accounts on the continent. Headphones recommended. Daylight also recommended. Drop a comment if any of these happened in your backyard, because at this point we're collecting.

We found those we wanted to blame then we persecuted them. We often talk about reality here. Is any of this real? Today’s little journey into the nature of reality begins in a chair. It is made to be comfortable but it never is. If this is your first time hearing this story about this chair you may be envisioning something sinister, something painful, and your thoughts are moving in the right direction. Your version of this sinister chair might be a bit extravagant. And I assure you it is simple.Because in Philip K Dick’s reality it is simply a dentist chair, and a Pink Light.

Out in the middle of nowhere, strange things don’t announce themselves. They just show up. Something moves faster than it should. Something watches without making a sound. You hear footsteps, breathing, voices, then realize there’s no one there. These stories take place in fields, forests, farms, dorm rooms, and deserts where the dark feels heavier than it should, and whatever’s out there seems aware of the people watching it.There are no clean explanations here. Just moments that stick with the people who lived them. Creatures that don’t fit any category, lights with no source, shadows that stop at the edge of the room, and encounters that feel less like attacks and more like warnings. Call it Bigfoot, Dogman, ghosts, sleep paralysis demons, government tech, or something else entirely. All anyone knows for sure is this: something showed up… and it wasn’t supposed to be there.Thanks to the listeners that submitted their stories for today's episode!

They arrive quietly—in the shape of a woman standing in a doorway, footsteps with no one to make them, or a figure from another century passing by as if nothing is wrong. These are the kinds of moments that linger long after the lights are back on, when you’re left wondering whether what you saw was impossible… or simply unnoticed until now.In this episode, multiple firsthand accounts blur the line between history and the present, sleep and waking, the living and the dead. These stories don’t beg to be believed, and they don’t try to explain themselves. They just exist—unchanged, unresolved, and unsettling in the way only true experiences can be.

In this episode, we explore real experiences that went far beyond “spiritual healing”: encounters with predatory spirits, looping insanity, shapeshifting shamans, and the terrifying aftermath that left people questioning their sanity, their safety, and their place in the world. These aren’t your typical retreat stories. These are the ones nobody wants to talk about.From clown phobia turned hellscape to Tetris-brain thought loops, Tim Burton creatures crawling from the void, and a chilling cultural warning about who Ayahuasca may truly be meant for—these firsthand accounts paint a picture of a medicine that can heal… or completely unravel you. If you're fascinated by psychedelic horror, spiritual misfires, and mind-bending supernatural encounters, this episode pulls back the curtain on the shadow realm of Ayahuasca.We'll see you on the inside..TIME STAMPS:0:00 - Bad Trips: The Dark Side of Ayahuasca…1:00 - Intro Music1:58 - Welcome In, Fellow Weirdos2:34 - Christian's Hawaiian Baseball Coach Story For The 400th Time6:41 - Join The Memberships Page So We can Afford a New Computer7:16 - BAD TRIP: It's a No From Me, Boss.11:30 - Christian Mocks Our Stories Author13:30 - Stay on the Resort if You Look Like Scott14:00 - Christian Mansplains Criminal Behavior..17:51 - BAD TRIP: Thought I Wasn't Coming Back..21:21 - Christian Acts Triggered By The "R" Word24:15 - Bring Out The Ol' Soapbox, C.27:00 - The Number of Creepy Clown Trips is Wild30:03 - Scott's Melatonin Dreams Unlock at 250,000 Subs31:40 - Butterscotch Gang Intermission32:58 - Otamatone Rave Song Fail33:43 - BAD TRIP: Darkness Eternal: A Timeline43:17 - BAD TRIP: A Warning For Whitey45:04 - Christian Admits to LOVING Racism?

That's the theme of today's episode, where our storytellers share experiences that they cannot explain, making for some truly strange and mysterious listening. Folks welcome back to yet another TFD episode. This week's episode dives deep into some fascinating short form true paranormal encounters, glitch-in-the-matrix moments, and unexplainable brushes with the supernatural that will leave you questioning everything you think you know about the other side.From a grieving family experiencing a full-body ghostly apparition, to a teen who hears a blood-curdling scream while home alone, to a hiker guided through the wilderness by what can only be described as a spirit bear intervention, these stories come straight from real people who swear what they witnessed was no hallucination.That being said, this episode is ALSO quite heavy on the tangents, as we explore the wildly gay side of Stranger Things, two very different Repo Man movies, and Christian's unabashedly feminist beliefs. If you're someone that gets antsy with anything other than story telling, please remember that your delicate, lil keyboard warrior self can find stories directly in the Time Stamps.

In this year’s TFD Christmas Special, we’re sharing true ghost stories and creepy encounters to haunt your holiday and prove they aren’t always filled with Christmas cheer. You’ll hear about a haunted apartment in Ohio where a ghost learned to coexist with its tenants, a chilling brush with the so-called Death Angel (or Mothman as Christian calls it), and heartfelt tales of spirits who return when the season feels loneliest.Sharing ghost stories is the annual Christmas tradition round these parts—where fireside storytelling meets the unexplained, and endless tangents. Perfect for fans of true paranormal experiences, christmas ghost stories, and eerie holiday tales that linger long after the lights go out. So pour some nog, dim the lights, and settle in for a Christmas podcast that’s equal parts strange, tragic, wonder and whimsey (okay maybe not whimsey, but it's a good time either way). Merry Christmas from The Freaky Deaky—where even the ghosts come home for the holidays. 👻🎅Thanks for all your support and laughs over the years. We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, and Happy New Year.------TIME STAMPS:0:00 - Coming Up: Christmas Ghost Stories!2:36 - Don't Call Christian an Atheist3:00 - Festivus: The Airing of Grievances7:55 - Christian Is Upset There's No Eggnog8:30 - ((STORIES BEGIN HERE, YOU IMPATIENT ANIMAL))8:31 - STORY: The Hot & Cold (Katy Perry) Ghost16:10 - James Wan: True Haunting Series on Netflix18:20 - Paranormal Shows and Docs Have The Worst Names19:20 - STORY: The Death Angel29:07 - No Shade, Arkansas, Sorry30:10 - BUTTERSCOTCH GANG CHRISTMAS INTERMISSION31:00 - Christian's Stuck on Mothman (Mothmen, too) For Some Reason33:17 - STORY: The Wholesome Husband36:00 - An Interesting Visual37:15 - Christian's Dumpster Fire Stories Note37:20 - STORY: The Premonition Dream39:55 - Indrid Cold & Richard Gere's Butt Gerbil40:30 - I Guess Christian Canceled Marilyn Manson42:11 - The Passion Of The Christ Now, I Guess?43:50 - Saw Eggnog in July, Didn't Get It (For Shame Reasons)45: 30 - STORY: It's a Ghost Baby, Baby47:30 - Trailer Talk49:15 - STORY: The Cartoon Rabbit Ghost53:25 - Christian Bores Us With A Boring Facts of Life Anecdote???55:04 - Christian Admits Ghosts Are Real (Thank You, Vesna)56:41 - Merry Christmas, Butterscotch Gang____________________________________________+PRODUCERS: Eric Long, Daniel Heng, Anthony M, Marlene Olmos+BECOME A PRODUCER: http://bit.ly/3WZ3xTg+BUY A $9 SHOUT-OUT: https://holler.baby/thefreakydeakyThe Twilight Zone meets Mystery Science Theatre 3000 meets an uncomfortable Thanksgiving dinner conversation with your in-laws.
