    Jul 22 2024

    Send us a text

    Ever wondered about the true nature of fairies? Prepare yourself for a spellbinding journey as we uncover the dark and eerie folklore of the Sluagh, the malevolent fairy folk from Ireland and Scotland. After a brief summer hiatus, we return with a brand new editor to elevate your listening experience and plenty of fresh content, including details on our upcoming giveaways. This episode unravels the myths surrounding the Sluagh, their sinister habit of stealing spirits and transforming them into wicked dogs, and the unsettling encounters that suggest these beings are anything but benevolent.

    In this episode, we delve deeply into Celtic lore, specifically focusing on the Sluagh or Sidhe. We'll debunk the popular misconception of fairies as friendly creatures and reveal their darker, more terrifying sides. From the moral dilemmas of transferring curses, akin to the plot of "It Follows," to the harrowing story of a boy from Barra, Scotland, whose soul was stolen by the Sluagh, we cover it all. Expect to be both entertained and spooked as we discuss how these malevolent spirits have influenced cultural beliefs and personal experiences. Join us as we navigate these tales and invite you to feel like part of our haunted family.

    Send us a text

    Dare you to tread the murky paths of Louisiana at night, where the Rougarou lurks in the inky shadows? Alyssa and Lindsay take you deep into the heart of this spine-chilling legend, where animal mutilation and werewolf accusations paint a harrowing picture of fear and superstition. Our conversation isn't just a ghost story; it's a grim reflection on how hysteria can twist societies, turning the misunderstood into monsters. As we unravel this dark tale, you'll find yourself questioning not just the existence of the Rougarou, but the very nature of belief and the consequences it can bear.

    Have you ever considered what it takes to transform into a creature of folklore terror? We dissect the curse of the Rougarou, revealing the eerie triggers of transformation, from the breaking of Lent vows to the bite of the beast itself. Comparing this enigmatic entity to your typical werewolf, we explore the fabric of legend that stitches the Rougarou into Louisiana's cultural tapestry. A woman's recent, haunting encounter with the beast provides a contemporary glimpse into the legend, while the mystique of a 101-day curse lends a chilling edge to this ancient narrative.

    Finally, we discuss the quirky yet fascinating traditions meant to protect against such cryptids, including the strategic placement of household items. You'll hear us weigh the credibility of this egendary creature, amidst expressions of deep gratitude for our listeners and a celebration of our podcast's triumphs. And as we close, we extend an invitation to support Macab Midnight Podcast, ensuring that every encounter with the supernatural on our show leaves you eagerly anticipating the next.

    Send us a text

    As we crossed the threshold of the Winchester Mystery House, we can't shake the feeling that countless eyes are watching visitors from the mansion's hidden corners. Join us on Macab at Midnight for an exploration into the labyrinthine estate, where we share the chilling legacy of Sarah Winchester's bizarre architectural creation. This episode is a patchwork quilt of history, mystery, and the supernatural, sewn together with tales of grief, obsession, and the ghosts that may walk the halls of America's most structurally perplexing home.

    Amid the echoes of footsteps through the mansion's confusing hallways, we reflect on the origins of the Winchester family's fortune and the rifle that changed the American Civil Wars' history. We delve into Sarah Winchester's life, piecing together her daily seances, her descent into the life of a recluse, and the potential reasons for her unending construction project. Was it madness, sorrow, or the advice from beyond that guided her hand? Alyssa adds color to the story with her personal Californian insights, painting a picture of the mansion's enduring allure.

    As the episode winds to a close, we shed light on the broader context of the era's spiritual beliefs and the skeptics who challenged them. From the darkened rooms of the Winchester Mystery House, discover with us the human need for the afterlife and how it shaped one woman's extraordinary response to tragedy. Wrap yourself in a cloak of curiosity and maybe even a little whimsy, as we offer our musings on how to keep the spirits at bay. It's a tale that might just have you questioning what lurks in the shadows of your own home.

  • E21: Crossing the Spectral Veil: June Lundgren's Insights into the Island of Dolls and Earthbound Spirits
    Apr 27 2024

    Send us a text

    Dare to join us as we traverse the spectral veil with psychic medium June Lundgren on a journey that will lead you through the shadowy realm of the Island of Dolls. In a place where silent figures hang from the trees, we uncover the disturbing history and ghostly legends that shroud this eerie destination. Our adventure doesn't end at the water's edge; we also examine the spectral magnetism of dolls as vessels for the departed and the demonic. With June's expertise, we confront the unsettling reality of spirits latching onto the inanimate, while also peeking into the Victorian era's grief-stricken rituals of remembrance—where sorrow was woven into the very fabric of keepsakes.

    Our conversation ventures into the modern-day quest to pierce the paranormal veil, scrutinizing ghost hunting gadgets and applications with a mix of personal encounters and healthy skepticism. June's insights elevate our understanding and challenge the reliability of these technological tools. Together, we scrutinize the accuracy of apps and dissect the phenomena behind recurring spectral terminology. Prepare yourself for a thrilling encounter with the inexplicable, and perhaps you'll find yourself glancing twice at the quiet gazes of dolls on your shelf, pondering the unseen forces that may dwell within.
