Members Preview | 747: Hatman the Soul Hunter

In episode 747: Hatman the Soul Hunter, Chad Phillippi shares his chilling journey from childhood occultism to a full-blown spiritual battle in the Alaskan wilderness. Groomed into astral projection and candle magick by a potentially nefarious librarian, Chad opened doors he couldn’t close—doors that followed him into adulthood. After fleeing toxic mold in Washington, his family moved to what they believed would be a healing refuge in Alaska. Instead, they found a house stalked by shadow figures, a red-eyed Hat Man, and a little ghost girl who called out in the night. As the spiritual attacks escalated—golem-like creatures, spectral stagecoaches, and visions of the dead—the family was pushed to the brink. With the help of a spiritual warfare mentor, they buried Bibles, anointed the land, and drove out the presence. But when a buried camper with hair on its window was uncovered and reburied, the darkness returned with force. Forced to flee through a coming storm, they left everything behind. Because this wasn’t just a haunting, it was a trap. And someone, or something, didn’t want them to make it out.

Members Preview | 745: Dogman, Crawlers, and the Not-Deer

In episode 745: Dogman, Crawlers, and the Not-Deer; Chris from West Virginia shares a series of chilling encounters that began with a timber-colored creature walking on two legs outside his home—and escalated into a five-hour standoff of growls, scraping claws, and paralyzing fear. After that night, the activity didn’t stop. While camping in the woods, Chris witnessed a massive, shadowy figure crawling like a spider toward his tent and heard unplaceable howls and gunshots echo through the forest. Then came something worse: a deer that wasn’t a deer, its gaze too knowing, its movements too wrong—and when it turned to walk away, it simply vanished. As the months wore on, the line between physical and supernatural blurred. There were orbs outside his window, rocks thrown from nowhere, a crab-walking thing glimpsed on a distant ridge, and a hellhound-like face caught in a photo. Some creatures moved like animals. Others seemed to watch him. But all of it felt targeted. Whether it was Bigfoot, Dogman, something demonic, or something else entirely, Chris was sure of one thing, they weren’t supposed to exist—but they do.

742: Dogman Of The Corn

In episode 742: Dogman Of The Corn, Shane and "The Judge" from From The Shadows Podcast, share a bone-chilling account of an entity that stalked one of their daughters—night after night. It called itself "Wind." It appeared as a little boy with blonde hair and blue bibs, and it whispered through the baby monitor in a dead language no one could recognize. It wanted the child to go outside. In the snow. In the middle of the night. This wasn’t just a haunted house. Wind followed them across towns. Past locked doors. Into new bedrooms. When "The Judge" finally saw it with his own eyes, his daughter began speaking in something guttural, ancient, possibly Sumerian—and then Wind was gone. But not forever. Years earlier, on a quiet country road flanked by cornfields, "The Judge" came face to face with a creature that shouldn’t exist. It ran through the rows—pacing him, mirroring every move—and when it stepped out, it stood tall like a man, with the head of a wolf and the build of a linebacker. No eye shine. No sound. Just intent. He escaped by seconds, diving into a friend’s pool, heart pounding and reality shattered. Decades later, he would learn the land was built on ancient burial mounds—and that others had seen it too. Two encounters. Two entities. One terrifying question:  If these things are real… what else is?
