Let's take a trip. Small town, USA. This is where the pulse of the paranormal resides. There are thousands of stories and experiences out there. Some have been told, and retold hundreds of times, and some are kept hidden, known only by the people that live there; this is where we come in. We're exploring the untold, and breaking down the overly familiar. Journeying through the one stoplight towns and discovering local urban legends, myths, lore, and paranormal episodes. Researching the backgrounds and developing the voices unheard. Our goal is not to capture evidence, but rather to capture the moment and bring our listeners along for the ride.

    Episode 136...This Redhead Ain't Hitchin
    Jun 24 2025

    The Redheaded Hitchhiker of Route 44 has become one of the most well-known ghost stories in New England...or is he the Redheaded Phantom...or does it matter?

    A strange thing happened on the way to Volco Road. The name of Big Red came up, as he always does when there's a lonesome road and a ghost walking. What began as a journey to find when his name changed became a whole new crossroads.

    Join us as we look into the misnomer that created a phenom and how wandering ghosts started to look for rides and get in cars.

    Look into the details of the stories we discussed in the books we got them from:

  • Episode 135...The Curse of de Soto

    Episode 135...The Curse of de Soto
    Mar 22 2025
    It started as a theme for Haunted Southwest Florida, but the more digging that happened, the more the rabbit hole became a labyrinth. There’s something up with the name Hernando de Soto. It’s hidden just below the surface of so many of the haunted legends on the Gulf Coast of Florida, springing up like a weed hinting at something rotten below the surface. …and then there’s the story of his daughter and how the sleepy city of Sarasota got its name. Join Christopher Balzano as he traces the ghostly legends in the area linked to a curse placed on the infamous Conquistador Hernando de Soto. From the spooky in towns like Arcadia and Bradenton to haunted plagues in places like Fort DeSoto, he’ll retrace the rumors and tell the tales of a bleak side of history which may explain the creepy of today. …and maybe find out how the Curse of de Soto extends to his imaginary daughter. There were many episodes and ghostly legends mentioned in this episode, so I created an easy playlist for you faithful listeners with time on your hands. Seems like a good time to subscribe to the show if you haven't.

    Episode 134...Don't Play That Game
    Feb 2 2025

    Ghosts have a way of working their way into the things we become obsessed with. Focus your energy someplace long enough, haunted tales of fascination will trail along. What are we more obsessed with than video games. From hours spent dropping coin after coin to days spent in front of the screen trying to complete the level, it is no wonder so many urban legends about curses and video games have made their way into our modern narrative.

    Join Christopher Balzano as he powers up the new year looking at infamous cases of people believing video games to be haunted. There's old school standards like Berserker and modern ones like Bad Satan, and of course, the mother of them all...Polybius.

    We may even spend a little time trying to summon the ghost people are warning us about using a middle school ritual.

    There is a warning in this episode for reference to drug use and violence, but the last story involves harm to children and abuse.

    Here’s the link to the Berserker article for a full recap of the story:
