The Bunny Man is an urban legend originating in the Fairfax County, Virginia area, mostly around Colchester Overpass, a.k.a. the Bunny Man Bridge, where a man dressed in a rabbit costume attacks people with a hatchet or axe. It is said that if you say “the bunny man” three times at midnight on Halloween while under the bridge, he will appear.

The story emanates from an escaped mental asylum patient in 1904 who was on the run in the area. He murdered rabbits, leaving their partially eaten bodies hanging from trees in the area, and eventually murdered a fellow patient. When the authorities discovered him, he ran in front of a train and was killed. After the train passed, the police officers could hear laughter coming from nowhere.

Is the Bunny Man the ghost of a dead asylum patient, forever haunting the Colchester Overpass where he died? Join us as we chat about this urban legend!

Hawk Mountain is located in central-eastern Pennsylvania near Allentown and is known for a wild bird sanctuary. What it is less known for is the story of Matthias Schaumboch, America’s unofficial first serial killer. On his deathbed, he confessed to the murder of 11 people, all weary travelers that would stop at this tavern for the night, but would never check out. He would peddle their belongings after he murdered them, and even reportedly ground them up for sausages for the next guests that arrived. In his deathbed confession, he claimed that an evil spirit on the mountain whispered to him day and night, encouraging him to act on murderous impulses.

Many believe that Matthias’ ghost still haunts the area, and people have heard voices and seen phantom lights in the hills. Full body apparitions have even been spotted. A little more disconcerting is the report of a 10 foot tall glowing man seen roaming the woods who instills absolute terror in those that observe him.

What haunts Hawk Mountain? Is it the spirit of Matthias Schaumboch looking for his next victim? Or is it something even more sinister? Join us on episode 54 as we delve into this fascinating location!

It’s the first show of the new year! On this episode, we talk with Ronda Del Boccio, a psychic medium and author living in rural Missouri. She is mostly blind, but can see what others cannot, and has been able to all her life. She regales us with a few stories of her paranormal experiences, one being with a ghost at a gas station just looking for a beer, and we also discuss Nash’s theory on the ‘pudding skin’, which she believes is one of the best analogies she has heard about the thin veil between our reality and theirs.

Ronda shares a few tips on doing your own ghost adventure (don’t taunt the spirits!), what its like to cross a large amount of dead at once, and gives us access to her free gift of the Paranormal Survival Kit: 7 Secrets of Paranormal Self-Defense, which you can access here: (http://writeonpurpose.com/pnkit).

It’s our Holiday episode! We tell stories, we have a new episode of Dylon and Blue and our main topic is the Min Min Lights.

The Min Min lights are an unusual light phenomenon, named after a settlement of the same name in the Australian outback where they were observed in 1918. They are described as glowing football-shaped orbs that can grow in size, get brighter or dimmer, change colors, can multiply, and they appear to follow or approach travelers. Legend says that anyone who chases the lights and catches them, will never return.

Stories about the lights can be found in Aboriginal myths, where they believed they were the spirits of their ancestors who are unable to rest because they felt the injustice of their murders. The Aborigines feared the lights, and believed they could take someone’s life.

Join us for some Holiday cheer, laughter and a bit of chaos.

 

On episode 51, we discuss some recent sightings of werewolves in England. Witness descriptions tell of a 7 foot tall wolf-like beast, covered in hair, that sometimes has a human face with a wolf body or has human legs with a wolf head. Truly a creepy beast to behold! Near the town of Hull, a werewolf with the nickname of Old Stinker is known to prowl the area. Old Stinker is said to be formidably tall with a long, powerful tail, blood-red eyes, and is known for his atrocious breath, which he gets from eating corpses.

An area that has numerous sightings is Cannock Chase, and according to local legend, it all began in 1975 with a teenager trading his soul to the Devil for the power to turn into a werewolf. Although some believe that the werewolf can only come out with a full moon, people have witnessed the beast at all times of the day and night.

Is it a dog with a mistaken identity? Is it a subterranean creature making its way to the surface for food? Or is it the legendary werewolf?! Join us a we discuss the legends and the theories of what prowls the land in England.

In late December 1980, a series of reported UFO sightings and unexplained lights occurred in the Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England. Because of the amount of credible witnesses, and the wide variety of supporting evidence, including a real-time tape recording on one of the nights, the Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident is considered to be Britain’s Roswell.

On December 26th, three men left the Woodbridge USAF base that skirted the Rendlesham Forest to investigate a possible downed plane, but found a much more curious sight before them. Staff Sergeant Jim Penniston found a black triangle-shaped large object that had landed in the forest and was able to take photos and notes on it, before actually touching it! On the second night, the lights returned, and the Base Deputy Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt, went out with some men with the express aim of debunking the whole thing. He captured an audio tape of what him and his men witnessed that night.

The government chalked these two nights up to seeing lights from a nearby lighthouse, but between the object caught on radar, the 10x higher than normal radiation readings at the landing sight, the Halt recording and the numerous military witnesses, this couldn’t possibly be. Join us as we discuss this very interesting UFO encounter!

Loftus Hall is a large country manor on the Hook peninsula, of County Wexford, Ireland. It is said by many to be haunted by the devil and the ghost of a young woman. This stems from the legend of Anne Tottenham in 1666 who fell in love with a stranger who came to their home one stormy night. He ended up staying for a few weeks and one night during a card game, Anne bent over to pick up a misplaced card and witnessed the stranger had cloven feet! She screamed loudly, causing the stranger to expose himself as the devil. He transformed into a ball of fire and shot up through the roof, leaving Anne in a state of trauma from which she never recovered.

Visitors to Loftus Hall have experienced significant temperature drops, heard voices from unseen sources, felt tugging or pushing, and even seen full body apparitions. Many have felt that the manor is full of dark energy where sometimes you feel intense sadness. The full body apparitions are of a young woman in stiff brocaded silk whom many believe is the ghost of Lady Anne Tottenham, forever doomed to roam the halls.

Does the devil haunt this home? Or is Loftus Hall plagued by the ghost of Anne Tottenham? Join us on this episode to hear more!

On this episode we talked to Rona who has experienced many paranormal things in her haunted home. When she first purchased this house, most of the things that happened at that time were to her son, but it wasn’t until he left for boot camp in 2005 that things really picked up. Doors would open and close on their own, tv’s would randomly get turned on, a rocking chair would get moved around, and the chimes on her clock would go off even though it hadn’t been wound up. One particular instance that unnerved her, was when she found her dog growling in the basement staring up at a corner of the ceiling.

Because of what she has experienced, she believes that, just like the living, ghosts have different personalities. Some are helpful, benevolent spirits, and some can be really annoying. She has even been able to provide her paranormal insight for others. We also play a few of her EVP’s that she has been able to capture in her home. They are really interesting, and you will even pick up a few children’s voices!

Join us on this special Halloween episode as we hear about Rona’s paranormal experiences, some more listener stories, and another edition of Dylan and the Blue!

The Albatwitch is a small, slender 4′-5′ tall cryptid that is a native to the Chickies Rock area of central Pennsylvania.

Jennie Wade was the only direct civilian casualty of the Battle of Gettysburg, when she was hit by a stray bullet on the morning of July 3, 1863. She, her mother and two younger brothers made their way to her sister Georgia’s home at 528 Baltimore Street to assist her with her newborn baby. Unfortunately, the house stood between both armies, and during the first day of fighting, it was hit by over 150 bullets.

Jennie and her mother began the task of providing bread, water and medical care to the Union soldiers located not far from the house. On July 3, 1863, at 8:00 A.M., Jennie was in the kitchen kneading some bread for the soldiers when a Minie’ ball traveled through 2 doors, and hit her. She was killed instantly.

Join us as we talk about the Jennie Wade death house, the creepy hauntings that have been experienced there, and our very own ghost investigation there!
