What happens after an encounter like that?

In the final part of our Betty and Barney Hill series, we follow the story beyond the night on the road and into the years that came after.

As the Hills tried to move forward, new questions began to take shape. Strange illnesses. Lingering fear. Additional sightings that made it harder and harder to dismiss what they experienced.

We explore the physical and emotional toll the encounter may have taken, including Barney's declining health and death, and the life Betty continued to live in the shadow of that night.

We also take a closer look at Betty's now famous star map, the growing attention surrounding their story, and how their private experience became one of the most widely known and debated abduction cases in history.

Because for the Hills, the story didn't end when they got home. And it didn't end when the memories came back. In many ways, it never ended at all.

In Part 2 of our Betty and Barney Hill series, we dive into the hypnosis sessions that uncovered the missing hours from that strange night in 1961. From the dinner party where the Hills first shared their story to the investigators who began asking questions, this is the chapter where they mystery deepens and the details of the encounter finally begin to emerge.

We're back.

After some time away, we're returning to the microphones with one of the most famous and unsettling stories in paranormal history. But before the lights in the sky, before the missing time, and before the hypnosis, there were just two people.

Betty and Barney Hill.

In part 1 of this two parter, we're going back to the beginning. We explore who Betty and Barney were, how they met, and the romantic road trip that would unknowingly cement them in paranormal history forever.

This Halloween, we're diving deep into one of the world's eeriest legends, black-eyed children. From chilling 1980s sightings to theories linking the phenomenon to tragic murders of the 1960s, these pale, black-eyed visitors have haunted the woods and internet forums alike for decades.

Join Monica and Cash as they unravel real reports, folklore roots, and paranormal theories behind this haunting mystery. Why do so many witnesses describe the same thing? And why do the stories always begin with a knock at the door?

This Halloween season, we're tucking you in with true tales that'll make you sleep with one eye open. From a ghost that steals cabled and remotes to a mimic pretending to be someone's mom, these stories are the perfect mix of eerie, intimate, and unexplainable.

You'll hear from Nova, one of the original co-creators, about the night she saw a woman drenched in blood, and a listener whose wife somehow knew what happened in his recurring nightmares, but won't say how. Plus, a husband's chilling encounter on a dark rural road that might not have been entirely human and a ghost that seemingly enjoys a good rocking chair.

So grab a blanket and settle in, it's our October Listener Story special.

This week, Monica and Cash tumble down the haunted rabbit hole of online listings for cursed and possessed objects, but things get weird fast. One listing vanished right in the middle of recording. One bear named Fanny just wants to play video games. A clown doll refuses to reveal the spirit inside it. And one mysterious doll has Monica eerily close to clicking "Buy Now."

Join us as we explore the scary, the absurd, and the possibly possessed corners of the internet, where every "pre-loved" item might just love you back a little too much.

This week, we take you to one of Idaho's most haunted historic sites, Stricker Ranch. Once a lonely stop on the Oregon Trail and now home to more than just memories. Armed with our mics, curiosity, and the Ghost Tube app, we revisit our past ghost hunts at the ranch. What started as a calm history chat turned into something else entirely... Let's just say, by the end, we didn't end the episode, the ghosts did. And Monica almost peed her pants.
