About this episode

This episode explores 15 terrifying true scary stories from listeners about encounters in Turnbull Canyon.

In this episode of The Scarecast, I’m taking you back into Turnbull Canyon to tell fifteen of the scariest listener stories I’ve ever received from this haunted stretch of road. I’ll be your guide as we move from stalled cars and pounding on the windows, to robed figures appearing out of the darkness, to skinwalker‑like creatures charging on all fours and disappearing into the night. Along the way, I’ll narrate encounters with ghostly children, vanishing pedestrians, cult‑like gatherings, and phantom vehicles that tailgate you through the canyon before blinking out of existence. I also weave in a few real cases tied to the area, including infamous attacks and alleged ghost photos, to show how easily true crime and the supernatural collide in Turnbull. Settle in, turn the lights down, and let me tell you fifteen reasons people refuse to drive this canyon after dark.
