Summary

IN THIS EPISODE: Author Troy Taylor tells us about the horrors and hauntings of a murderous nightmare, taking place on the holiest day of the year. (“Easter Sunday Massacre”) *** Two young boys find a bloody shirt on a stone on the side of the road – and it leads to details of one of the most brutal murders in the history of Massachusetts. (“Massachusetts Butchery”) *** Why would a mother tell her daughter to never wander in their own backyard? (“Displaced Entities”) *** The true story of an actor who lost his fortune, his life, and his head. (“The Headless Ghost of St. Paul’s Chapel”) *** It probably comes as no surprise that nursing homes can be haunted. A Certified Nurse Assistant tells us his own personal experiences of it. (“Nursing Home Hauntings”) *** Plus, I’ll share a creepypasta that was specifically requested for me to narrate by one of you, my Weirdo Family. (“No End House”) *** “Doppelganger Confusion” *** “The Black Eyed Phenomenon – Not Just Kids?” *** “Is Your House On The List?” *** “Another Black-Eyed-Kids Encounter – Is This An Epidemic?” *** “What Caused Our Creaking Catwalk?” *** “In Reverse… The Doppelganger Student” *** “My Haunted In-Laws Place” *** “We Deliver, We Cater, We Scare” *** “Death In The Triangle” *** “The Mother Who Burned Her Daughter Alive”
