Dead Body Water!

Belinda and Braydon discuss two drastically different hauntings on todays episode, Belinda touching on an incredibly macabre site for the paranormal, and Braydon touching on another silly Ohio cryptid!

Belinda discusses the Cecil Hotel, in all of its horror. The hotel has been a hotspot for murder, suicides, and off happenings ever since 1931. A number of notorious serial killers stayed in the hotel while they committed their murders, and countless people have jumped from their rooms to take their own lives. With all of this death, it's not far-fetched to see why such a gruesome location could be haunted, and Belinda managed to happen across an image of a ghost jumper leaping from one of the windows of the building. She also touches on the most confusing and disturbing death of the Cecil, the death of Cantonese Student Elisa Lam, who was caught on elevator camera acting paranoid and terrified before ultimately disappearing and being found again on the premises.

Braydon goes on to discuss the legend of the Defiance Wolfman. Which was a humanoid-dog figure that terrorised locals of Defiance in July and August of 1972. A number of people came forward with stories of this creature and the police set out searching for the odd beast day and night, hoping to uncover information as to who or what the creature truly was.

Froody and the Blowfish

Happy Friday the 13th to all of our listeners! Braydon and Belinda come back to the now regular tradition of telling spooky urban legend tales on Friday the 13th episodes!

Belinda discusses the true inspiration behind the horror character Freddy Krueger, and the franchise of the Nightmare on Elm Street. Funnily enough, the terrifying villain was inspired by a very similar real world event!

Braydon goes on to discuss Polybius, the arcade machine that debuted in 1981 in two locations in Portland, Oregon. The machine drew crowds of kids to its oddly addictive gameplay, but the players began exhibiting odd health symptoms. The game was also regularly visited by two "men in black" types that collected data of the people in the high scores. This lead onlookers to believe the game to be a CIA experiment!

Like a Wolf, but Dire!

Belinda and Braydon discuss two very intriguing stories on today's episode of YMAAP, both are outside of the normal box of their haunted discussions, but are terrifying and spooky none-the-less.

Belinda starts the episode off talking about everyone's favourite game to play in their bathroom at midnight, Bloody Mary! She discusses the urban legends behind this infamous spirit, the alternatives found in our culture and other cultures around the world, and the potential origins of this odd practice, which date back hundreds and hundreds of years. With so many different ways of performing the ritual to summon Bloody Mary, could it be that only a few people have successfully summoned this spirit? Let's discuss!

Braydon goes on to chat about the spooky and kooky location known as Skinwalker Ranch which is seen as one of the biggest hotbeds for both paranormal activity and UFO/Alien activity in the world today. Skinwalker ranch was bought by a cattle owner and his family, but they soon discovered that this quaint little Utah ranch is anything but ordinary. From odd appearances of strange animals and creatures, to livestock and pet mutilation, this location has had all manner of creepy occurrences that will make your skin shake!

Ring of Salt Licks!

Belinda and Braydon take a walk away from their regular spirit stories to discuss a few of the world's most renowned cryptids! Cryptozoology is a pseudoscience that aims to prove the existence of entities from the folklore record, such as Bigfoot, the chupacabra, and the Lochness monster!

Braydon discusses the strange abomination that hunts the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, the Jersey Devil! This creature's origins come from a reported accidental curse that a mother put upon her unborn child while she was pregnant. When the child was born and immediately polymorphed into a horrific amalgamation of numerous different creatures. It quickly murdered its mother and the wetnurses around it and took off into the Pine Barrens where it lives to this day. In the early 1900's, numerous encounters with this creature occurred within one week. Reports of police officers firing upon the creature, and firefighters blasting it with a fire hose before being attacked are some of the more substantial claims of encounters with this flying death machine.

Belinda goes on to discuss Mothman, the Moth-like humanoid entity that terrifies those unlucky to encounter the creature in West Virginia. Numerous sightings of this strange creature started occurring after 1966, and Mothman was even linked to the Silver Bridge's collapse that killed 46 people and injured countless more in 1967. Theories have been surfacing that the Mothman was trying to warn the people on the bridge of the impending danger, insinuating that Mothman is a benevolent being instead of an evil one.

Time Travelling Witch Ghost!

Braydon and Belinda discuss two unique hauntings from very different parts of the world.

Belinda discusses the legendary haunting of the Bell Witch, which terrorised a Tennessee farmer named John Bell. The Bell family had encounters with the strange entity, but it was only the father of the family who had somehow earned the ire of the Bell Witch. Before becoming the President of the US, Andrew Jackson went with a group of his men to investigate the haunting and it was then he gave the entity the name of the Bell Witch. A number of other intriguing events occurred in the Bell house hold, such as the Witch making moves to protect the daughter of the Bell family, and even accurate predictions of the future from this mysterious entity..

Braydon goes on to discuss the Javanese complex of Lewang Sewu. The complex was created in the early 90's for the Dutch Railway Company, but was taken over by Japanese soldiers during WWII. Whilst in control of Lewang Sewu, the Japanese used it basements to house prisoners, perform gruesome tortures, and execute countless Indonesian and Dutch soldiers and citizens. The complex was eventually taken back by Indonesia after the war, and is reportedly haunted by those that died within its walls, and a particularly nasty spirit only native to Malaysia and Indonesia, the kuntilanak.
