    Some stories stick around because they leave people wondering what’s true. Others stick around because people want them to be. Today I have a few crazy stories that just didn’t hold up to scrutiny, but years later are still worth hearing.

    182: Sunday Scary #14 - Encounters from Above
    2026/10/04
    Today, we're looking to the sky. We have two stories involving strange objects appearing in remote wilderness areas—one that ended with a man missing for five days, and another that left behind physical injuries and evidence that investigators struggled to explain.

    Were these encounters with something extraterrestrial, secret military technology, elaborate hoaxes, or simply something we still don’t understand?

    181: Sunday Scary #13 - Haunted Hikes | 13 Days of Sunday Scaries
    2026/10/03
    We officially made it- today is day 13 of our 13 Days of Sunday Scaries, and with this episode, we’re wrapping up our trip through the archives. The next time you hear from us, we’ll officially be kicking off our brand-new Sunday Scaries for 2026!

    But before we get there, it feels only fitting to end the countdown the same way Sunday Scaries originally began- with some haunted hikes.

    For this episode, we’re heading onto trails across the country where beautiful scenery comes with some pretty unsettling history. We’ll explore a trail built around one of Missouri’s most infamous haunted roads, a cliff in Maine marked by the tragic death of a young girl, and a Grand Canyon trail where hikers say they can still hear the cries of a grieving woman.

    We’ll also head into the mountains of Virginia, where the spirit of a little boy is said to wander near the place he was found more than a century ago, before finishing in the forests of Oregon at an abandoned stone ruin known today as the Witch’s Castle.

    180: Sunday Scary #12 - Dark and Forbidden Destinations | 13 Days of Sunday Scaries
    2026/10/02
    We’re almost at the end of our 13 Days of Sunday Scaries countdown. We have just one episode left after this one before we officially make our way out of the archives and into four brand-new Sunday Scaries for 2026!

    But for today, we’re traveling to some of the darkest, strangest, and most forbidden destinations around the world.

    We’ll venture into an eerily quiet forest at the base of Mount Fuji, visit an isolated island whose inhabitants have made it very clear that outsiders are not welcome, and head beneath the water to a cemetery swallowed by the sea. We’ll also visit an island off the coast of Brazil where thousands of venomous snakes have earned it a spot firmly off-limits to tourists, before ending in Mexico, where hundreds of decaying dolls hang from the trees.

    Some of these places are dangerous, some are surrounded by dark histories and legends, and others are simply places we’re probably better off appreciating from a distance.

    179: Sunday Scary #11 - Dark Trails | 13 Days of Sunday Scaries
    2026/10/01
    We’re continuing our trip through the 2025 Sunday Scaries archives, and for this one, we’re handing the storytelling over to you.

    Sometimes the creepiest experiences outdoors aren’t the ones with a famous legend or ghost story attached to them. Sometimes, you’re just walking through the woods when something suddenly feels… off.

    For this episode, we’re sharing listener stories about those moments- from unexplained voices and figures in the trees to strange encounters on familiar trails, and that overwhelming feeling that, for whatever reason, you need to get out of there.

    Whether there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for these experiences or something a little stranger going on, these are the stories that tend to stick with you long after you’ve left the trail.

    178: Sunday Scary #10 - Ghost Ships | 13 Days of Sunday Scaries
    2026/09/30
    We’ve officially made our way through the 2023 and 2024 Sunday Scaries archives, which means we’re getting closer to this year’s brand-new episodes. But first, we’re headed back to 2025, where our first episode takes us through some spooky stories set at sea.

    For centuries, sailors have shared stories of mysterious ships appearing on the horizon, abandoned vessels drifting without a crew, and entire groups of people seemingly vanishing into the ocean.

    In this episode, we’ll explore everything from centuries-old legends and ships abandoned to drift thousands of miles on their own, to more modern-day vessels discovered with meals still sitting out and no trace of the people who had been aboard.
    Some of these stories have likely explanations, while others have left behind questions that remain unanswered.

    2026/09/30
    In June of 2015, a family traveled from New Mexico into the mountains of southern Arizona for what was supposed to be a quiet Father’s Day weekend camping trip. But shortly after arriving, one member of the family disappeared during a walk that should have taken only a few minutes.
