| 9/3/26 |  Ketell: The Young Man Who Could See Demons | This is a lesser-known, short eerie legend of Ketell, as found on Chronicon Anglicanum by Radulphi de Coggeshall. You might recognize the chronicle's name because it's the same one where the story of the Green Children of Woolpit appears.In this story, an innocent teenager that works the fields has an encounter with small demons that are planning to scare everybody in town. He soon realizes that he's the only one that can see demons and decides to keep the secret for himself. This story reached Radulphi's ears and he documented in the book as a true account. But how terrifying is it to be able to see these evil spirits?Find Edwin on social media as @edwincov or more stories at HorrorStory.com | 13m 32s | ||||||
| 8/22/26 |  The Mystery of The Somerton Man | On November 30, 1948 in South Australia, a man in a suit appeared on the beach.Despite the many efforts of detectives, scientists, and the public, the man could not be identified. What made this mystery bizarre, was that there were cryptic messages and clues that made no sense. A small rolled up piece of paper, no labels on his clothing, and no apparent signs of struggle. However, in 2022, science finally caught up with the case and the identity was revealed. But even with that information, the case still remains a mystery.You can find Edwin social media as @edwincovHave an idea you want to send? Send me an email or DM!

| 7/25/26 |  The Witching Hour: What Actually Happens at 3 AM? | They say that if you suddenly jolt awake at 3am, the devil was just by your side. But is there more to it? Known as the "Devil's Hour" or "Witching Hour", this time of the night has some eerie reasons to be feared.

| 7/9/26 |  The Haunted Lagoon: Venice's Islands of Plague, Madness, and Mystery | Venice is famous for its beautiful canals, but hidden beyond the tourist crowds lies a darker history that few visitors ever see.In this episode, we explore the infamous island of Poveglia, a place long associated with plague victims, abandoned hospitals, ghost stories, and one of Italy's most enduring paranormal legends. We separate historical fact from centuries of folklore while uncovering the truth behind claims of mass deaths, haunted bell towers, and mysterious sightings.Then we travel to San Servolo, the forgotten "Island of the Mad," where more than 200,000 psychiatric patients passed through an isolated asylum. From medieval quarantine stations to World War II atrocities, these forgotten islands reveal how Venice once hid disease, suffering, and society's outcasts just beyond its famous skyline.Are these islands truly haunted, or is history itself terrifying enough?Find Edwin as @edwincovFor more of our shows, visit ScaryFM.comHorrorStory.com | 20m 48s | ||||||
| 7/7/26 |  Horrors of the New World: Early Accounts From the Spanish Conquistadores | When the Spanish arrived in what they called "The New World," they documented the life of the indigenous people, new plants, and animals. They would report this back to their own governments. But along those handwritten documents, there were stories of dark, sinister entities that would roam at night. Tales that had been passed down by the natives, of things that could only be described as demons roaming the earth.Find Edwin as @edwincovHave an idea?

| 6/19/26 |  Haunted Utah: Ghosts of the Promised Land | For generations, Utah has been known as a place of faith, pioneers, and the search for a promised land. But beneath that history lies something far stranger.In this episode, I explore the eerie connection between early Mormon beliefs, frontier supernatural traditions, and some of Utah's most persistent ghost stories. From the Purple Lady of Salt Lake City to the haunted halls of the Great Saltair, these chilling accounts reveal a state where many believe the veil between the living and the dead has always been unusually thin.Are Utah's ghosts simply legends, or are they echoes of a spiritual worldview that never went away?You can find Edwin social media as @edwincovHave an idea you want to send?

| 1/16/26 |  The Skeleton Saint: Faith, Delusion, and Crime | In this episode, we examine the disappearance of six-year-old Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, a medically fragile child who was last seen months before authorities were alerted. What started as a routine welfare check turned into a disturbing investigation involving deception, alleged abuse, and a mother who fled the country just days after being questioned.But this story doesn’t end with a manhunt. As investigators uncovered the beliefs that the mother had, attention turned to a controversial and often misunderstood folk saint: La Santa Muerte. Through anthropology, history, and firsthand accounts, we explore whether this figure represents something sinister... or whether fear and cultural bias have distorted her meaning.This episode contains sensitive material and explores themes of child harm, belief, and justice. Listener discretion is strongly advised. | 28m 21s | ||||||
| 12/18/25 |  Ghosts in the Fog: A True Railroad Haunting | In the hills outside Philadelphia lies Duffy’s Cut, a stretch of railroad haunted by whispers, strange lights, and a century-old secret. What began as a ghost story passed down through generations slowly revealed a hidden chapter of American history involving immigrant laborers, fear-driven violence, and a truth deliberately buried. This episode explores how folklore, science, and persistence converged to give voice to the forgotten dead and asks whether the spirits were ever really silent.You can find Edwin social media as @edwincovHave an idea you want to send?

| 10/17/25 |  The Ghost Sickness: True Documented Cases of Mass Spiritual Possession in Malaysia | Horror strikes in the schools of rural Malaysia as girls suddenly begin screaming, claiming that there are evil spirits around them. And in a shoe factory, more women (up to 30 at a time) begin acting strangely and displaying supernatural strength. In another case, a Chinese family in Malaysia begins experiencing a spiritual possession; something that only a bomoh, a spiritual healer, can help with. What makes these creepy cases so bizarre is that they were studied by psychiatrists through interviews, analysis, and professional diagnosis. Even to this day, they are considered to be cases of mass spiritual possession.Get our newsletter here: https://bio.scary.fmFind Edwin on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram as @edwincovHorrorStory.com | 20m 26s | ||||||

From a prehistoric “Giant’s Castle” with glowing bones to Cold War–era UFO sightings ignored by radar, the region has long been a hotspot of unexplained phenomena. Some claim aliens refuel on its uranium-rich peaks, while others whisper of forest spirits luring wanderers away.

| 8/14/25 |  When the Dead Came Back | In the winter of 1892, the quiet town of Exeter, Rhode Island, became the stage for one of New England’s most infamous cases of vampire panic.

Rumors spread about her carrying a knife and chasing people, and bystanders were warned not to look her in the eye. Then in 2022, the video was shared on TikTok and it started an entire new type of digital lore, one that terrified those of us who believed we might encounter her out at night.

| 7/11/25 |  How Governments Disappear Humans | There is a chilling pattern of how governments have systematically dehumanized, displaced, and exterminated entire groups of people throughout history using bureaucratic steps.Drawing from real atrocities such as the Holocaust, the Khmer Rouge regime, the Rwandan genocide, and the Armenian genocide, as well as injustices in U.S. history like the internment of Japanese Americans and the treatment of Native and African Americans, I trace a common structure of how oppression builds: with labels, propaganda, silence, and “legal” processes. Societal fear and political power can normalize cruelty. So here's your reminder of the responsibility to notice, speak out, and act before it’s too late. Recognize familiar patterns and refuse to let history repeat itself.Get in touch on HorrorStory.com | 30m 43s | ||||||

Her own family, clergymen, and doctors also witnessed the bizarre events. But since all of these accounts come from a single source that came to be known as The Great Amherst Mystery, written by an actor who stayed with the family in order to monetize the story, how much of it should we believe?You can find Edwin social media as @edwincovHave an idea you want to send?
