with you today. Sorry in advance if the audio is a bit different, we're still working out the kinks.
Belinda starts the show off by discussing the original inspiration for the Stephen King novel "The Shining", which he got from the Stanley Hotel in Colorado. Although King didn't recount too many weird occurrences while staying at the Stanley, he did report his son having an incredibly weird nightmare about the location. King's mind was swept away by the mystique and isolation, and had the Shining thought up within one evening. Unknown to King, but known particularly well now is the fact that the Stanley Hotel is incredibly haunted! Odd paranormal phenomena are constantly experiences on the premises, and the hotel even offers courageous guests a chance to stay in known haunted rooms if they desire.
Braydon goes on to discuss Greg and Dana Newkirk from the Travelling Museum of the Paranormal and Occult, and a particularly spooky item they have in their travelling collection. The item is known as Billy, the Idol of Nightmares, and much as the name suggests, it's infamous for causing horrendous strings of nightmares over the span of weeks after handling it. The Newkirks have investigated and worked with the idol, and have uncovered it to be from the late 1700's - early 1800's, and be from the Central Congo.

Those that did survive the evening were left irreparably shaken by the events, and died in sanitoriums having lost their minds. This haunting sounds like a tale of cosmic horror, and the entity reported to have killed the people supposedly had black wispy tentacles. Terrifying!!

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.

Read MoreBelinda and Braydon went on the haunted Southport cemetery tour and decided to recount their experience on the podcast this week. They discuss the spirits that are rumoured to be lurking the grounds of the graveyard, and even go into detail about their own creepy experience that occurred on the tour. Prepare to be spooked out!
The grounds of the cemetery is home to numerous unmarked graves from the Gold Coast's start as a town, due to an old main road being run directly through the centre of the graveyard. People would bury their loved ones in the field with wooden crosses, which would slowly degrade over time, leaving the graves unmarked and unknown. Could this be the cause of many of the hauntings on the grounds today?
We recommend Lantern Ghost tours to anyone who wants to enjoy some spooky history and potential paranormal experiences!

Read MoreBelinda 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.

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.

Read MoreHappy Holidays to all our listeners and thank you for taking the time to listen to the last episode of 2019! Today Belinda and Braydon discuss two friendly ghost stories from around the world. These two stories contain benevolent spirits and ghosts that helped people, or have provided friendly paranormal experiences to those who have encountered them.
Belinda talks about the ghost of Frederick Frederici who was an Italian performer who died after a magnificent performance at the Princess Theatre in Melbourne, Australia. When the rest of the actors went out to do their final bow for the evening, it is said that Fred's ghost was seen bowing as well by all in attendance. The ghost still reportedly haunts the theatre and is regularly encountered by actresses and actors who regard his sightings as a sign of good luck.
Braydon then goes on to discuss a friendly ghost who guided Ann Nutt to a hidden bounty of treasure buried under her family home in Uppingham, England. The ghost was persistent with Ann, and continued pestering her about the treasure until she eventually found it. The family made away with 200 ancient Roman coins that were worth approximately $40,000!

Read MoreHappy Friday the 13th you creepy people! We are celebrating the spooky event by discussing two hauntings that come from some very twisted and horrific mass murders/serial murders! Belinda discusses Frightmare manor in Tennessee, which had a horrific serial killer named Jeremiah Lexer who seemed to be an ordinary family man, but harboured a dark secret. He performed secret biological experiments on humans and animals which resulted in the deaths of at least 31 of his victims. The manor has been converted into a gimmicky horror house that details the events, but Belinda and Braydon worry that perhaps this could be provoking the spirits of the many victim's ghosts that currently reside on the property.
Braydon goes on to discuss the Villisca Axe Murder house in Iowa, where an entire family was butchered with an axe over 100 years ago. Each of the victims was hit in the head 30 times, and the killer was never caught, although many suspects emerged. One suspect admitted to the crime, and even detailed the murder, and said that dark entity lead him to the axe, and persuaded him to kill the family. Reportedly, the ghost of the victims, and either the dark entity or the spirit of the killer, still remain in the house. Paranormal investigators have had massive success with EVP recordings and making contact with the spirits within the home!
