This Christmas, we step away from the real-world horrors we usually explore and gather by the fire for a different kind of ghost story.

In this special bonus episode, Veil of Echoes presents a shortened, atmospheric retelling of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol — a timeless tale of regret, redemption, and the spirits who guide one man toward change.

Told slowly and intentionally, with candlelight, fire, and shadow, this episode is meant to be experienced as a quiet winter ritual.

No true crime.
No rush.
Just a story… by the fire.

However you celebrate, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a peaceful, hopeful New Year.

On Christmas night in 1996, six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey went to sleep in her family’s Boulder, Colorado home.
By the next morning, she was gone — and one of the most haunting and controversial cases in modern American history had begun.

In Part One of our two-part series, we walk carefully through the night and morning as it unfolded — minute by minute. From the discovery of a lengthy ransom note to the early investigative decisions that would permanently shape the case, this episode focuses on what is known, what was lost, and how a crime scene unraveled before investigators fully understood what they were facing.

This chapter does not speculate.
It does not sensationalize.
It examines the timeline, the environment, and the first critical hours that continue to define the case nearly three decades later.

Part Two will explore the autopsy findings, early theories, and the investigative paths that pulled this case in sharply different directions.

The Alaska Triangle is a remote region where planes vanish without distress calls, people disappear without a trace, and generations of Indigenous warnings speak of places that should not be entered.

In this episode of Veil of Echoes, we explore one of Alaska’s most unsettling mysteries — a vast area stretching between Juneau, Anchorage, and Utqiagvik that has been linked to unexplained aviation disappearances, missing persons cases, and disturbing paranormal encounters.

We examine the 1972 disappearance of U.S. Congressman Hale Boggs, reports of aircraft lost in clear conditions, and hikers and hunters who entered the wilderness and never returned. Alongside scientific explanations like extreme weather, magnetic anomalies, and infrasound, we also explore Indigenous lore and modern witness accounts involving voices in the forest, shadowy figures, time distortion, and unidentified aerial phenomena.

This episode doesn’t offer easy answers — only patterns, warnings, and the quiet understanding that some places may remember those who enter them.

🔍 Topics include:
Alaska Triangle, missing persons, unsolved mysteries, aviation disappearances, Hale Boggs, paranormal encounters, UFO sightings, Indigenous folklore, wilderness disappearances, and unexplained phenomena.

Christmas is meant to be a season of comfort, light, and safety — but history tells a darker story.

In this Dark Christmas Special, we explore the unsettling folklore, traditions, and true crime cases that reveal what Christmas has always carried beneath the surface: fear, rules, and the quiet belief that the night is watching.

We journey through chilling European Christmas folklore — including Krampus, Frau Perchta, Grýla, the Yule Cat, and the Christmas goblins — beings meant to punish, watch, and enforce order during the darkest time of year.

Then, we turn to real cases that shattered the illusion of safety on Christmas itself:

• The Lawson Family Murders (1929)
• The Covina Christmas Eve Massacre (2008)
• The disappearance of the Sodder children (1945)

To close, we reflect on why Christmas traditions endure despite the darkness — and why humanity continues to choose ritual, light, and togetherness even when the night proves it offers no protection.

This is not the Christmas you remember.

📜 SHOW NOTES

🎄 Christmas Folklore & Legends

• Krampus — the Alpine enforcer of punishment
• Frau Perchta — the silent inspector of homes

On February 9th, 2004, Maura Murray vanished after a single-car crash on a quiet road in New Hampshire.

In the minutes between the accident and the arrival of police, Maura disappeared — leaving behind her car, her belongings, and a silence that has now lasted more than two decades.

In this episode of Veil of Echoes, we carefully walk through Maura’s final known hours, the narrow window of time on Route 112, the early search efforts, and the evidence that was left behind. We explore the theories that exist — without elevating speculation — and center the people who never stopped loving her, searching for her, and advocating for answers.

In August 1977, a quiet council house in Enfield, North London, became the center of one of the most controversial paranormal cases in history.

For nearly eighteen months, the Hodgson family reported violent poltergeist activity — furniture moving on its own, beds shaking, objects flying through the air, and a deep, guttural voice speaking through eleven-year-old Janet Hodgson.

Investigated extensively by members of the Society for Psychical Research, including Maurice Grosse and Guy Lyon Playfair, the Enfield Poltergeist became one of the most documented hauntings ever recorded — and one of the most debated.

Was it a hoax fueled by fear and attention?
A genuine case of possession or poltergeist activity?
Or something far more complex than either explanation allows?

In this episode of Veil of Echoes, we trace the case from the first night of knocking in the walls, through months of escalating phenomena, to the disturbing voice that identified itself as Bill Wilkins — a man who had died in the house years earlier.

We examine the evidence, the hoax allegations, the medical impossibilities of the voice itself, and the chilling confirmation that came years later from Wilkins’ own son.

This is the story of The Enfield Poltergeist — and the voice that didn’t belong.

📌 SHOW NOTES

🕯️ In this episode, we cover:

• The Hodgson family and life at 284 Green Street
• The sudden onset of poltergeist activity in August 1977
• Early theories of pranks and mischief
• The arrival of investigator Maurice Grosse
• Grosse’s journals, recordings, and first night in the house
• Intelligent knocking responses and object movement
• The emergence of the “Bill” voice
• Levitations, contortions, and physical attacks
• Medical examinations of Janet’s voice
• Hoax allegations and Janet’s later admissions
• The division among investigators and skeptics
• Bill Wilkins’ death — and the later confirmation by his son
• How and when the haunting finally faded
• The lasting impact on the Hodgson family

⚠️ Content Warning:
This episode discusses alleged possession, child distress, psychological trauma, and paranormal phenomena that may be unsettling for some listeners.

🎧 Next Episode (Monday):
The mysterious disappearance of Maura Murray — a crashed car, a winter night, and a young woman who vanished without a trace.
