    • Exploring Haunted HistoryThe History Goes Bump podcast combines history and paranormal stories to educate listeners about haunted locations, leaving it up to them to decide if the places are truly haunted.

      The "History Goes Bump" podcast combines history and paranormal stories to educate listeners while fulfilling their curiosity about the strange and creepy. The host, inspired by his love for the unknown and his historian mother, started the podcast after experiencing a haunted house tour that included historical information and ghost stories. He believes that understanding the history of a location is crucial to understanding why it's considered haunted. Some of his favorite episodes are those based on locations he's visited personally. He leaves it up to the listeners to decide if the places he covers are haunted, as he considers himself an open-minded skeptic. Two places he claims are haunted are the Saint Augustine Lighthouse and Waverly Hills Sanatorium. These places left a strong impression on him due to the numerous stories and evidence of paranormal activity.

    • Haunted Lighthouse: Group Trapped Inside by Unseen ForceDuring a paranormal investigation, a group was trapped inside the Saint Augustine Lighthouse by an unseen force, leaving them puzzled and adding to the lighthouse's haunted reputation.

      During a paranormal investigation at the Saint Augustine Lighthouse in Florida, a group of people experienced an inexplicable locking of the deadbolt on the lighthouse door, trapping them inside. The tour guide, who held the only key to the deadbolt, was across the way during the incident. The group had been investigating the lighthouse at night, exploring its history and displays, when they heard pounding on the door as if someone was trying to get in. Despite finding the door shut and unable to open it, they were eventually freed by the tour guide. The incident left the group puzzled, as it was not one of them who had locked the door. The lighthouse is known for its haunted past, including stories of children who had drowned there during construction. The experience adds to the lighthouse's reputation as a haunted location.

    • Haunted History of Waverly Hills SanatoriumThree girls' spirits are blamed for poltergeist activity, while a tragic story of a veteran and his dog adds to the building's haunting reputation. Some visitors find historical and architectural appeal despite eerie experiences.

      The Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Kentucky is a notoriously haunted location with a dark history. Three girls are believed to have died there, and their spirits are said to be responsible for poltergeist-like activity such as locking doors and tying shoelaces together. Visitors have reported seeing full-bodied apparitions and experiencing unexplained noises. The building, which was once an asylum for tuberculosis patients, is known to have been a depressing and dangerous place due to the high mortality rate. One particularly tragic story involves a homeless veteran and his dog who were brutally murdered and their spirits are said to still reside in the building. Despite the eerie experiences reported, some visitors have had positive experiences, finding the history and architecture of the place fascinating.

    • The power of shared experiencesA shared inexplicable sound in a haunted building created a profound sense of connection and curiosity among people, highlighting the power of shared experiences and the enduring questions and wonderments that can shape our beliefs and perspectives.

      The shared experience of hearing an inexplicable sound, in this case a dog whimper, can create a profound sense of connection among people. This experience, which occurred in a supposedly haunted building, was described as mutual and uncanny by the speaker, who found comfort and validation in the fact that others in her group had heard the same thing. The ambiguous nature of the sound, which could have been a dog or the hinges of a door, added to the intrigue and mystery of the situation. The speaker's curiosity about the spiritual nature of animals and their afterlife also emerged as a significant theme in the conversation. Overall, the story highlights the power of shared experiences and the enduring questions and wonderments that can shape our beliefs and perspectives.

    • Paranormal investigations: Subjective and open to interpretationSkepticism is crucial in paranormal investigations, clear and definitive responses are more convincing than single words or phrases, and the validity of phenomena relies on individual interpretation and strength of evidence.

      Paranormal investigations, particularly those involving ghost boxes and EVPs, can be subjective and open to interpretation. The speaker shared experiences of hearing responses that seemed to coincide with questions, but also instances where responses appeared unrelated. Skepticism is important, and clear, definitive responses are more convincing than single words or phrases. The speaker also shared a personal experience of capturing an EVP that sounded like a growl, which was unrelated to the context of the investigation. Ultimately, the validity of these phenomena relies on individual interpretation and the strength of the evidence presented.

    • Encountering Unexplained Phenomena: Growling EVPs and SynchronicityExploring the paranormal world reveals mysteries and uncertainty, where personal beliefs and interpretations vary, and synchronicity adds to the intrigue.

      The paranormal world is full of mysteries and unexplained phenomena, and people's interpretations and beliefs can vary greatly. The speaker shared their experience of encountering an EVP with a growling sound, which they believed could be a negative entity feeding off fear. They also discussed the concept of synchronicity and how they can't explain certain experiences, leaving all possibilities open. The speaker emphasized that everyone's thoughts and opinions on the paranormal are valid, and no one truly knows what is going on. They encouraged listeners to decide for themselves what they believe and not get too attached to their beliefs or argue with others. Overall, the discussion highlighted the intrigue and uncertainty surrounding the paranormal world.

    • Teenage Encounter with a Mysterious DogAs a teenager, the speaker experienced unexplained sounds of a dog walking on linoleum, sparking a lifelong interest in the paranormal and inspiring their podcast.

      The speaker, who now hosts a paranormal podcast, shared an experience they had as teenagers when they heard clear sounds of a dog walking on linoleum flooring in their house while they were watching a scary movie. The strange occurrence left them both frightened and intrigued, as they didn't own a dog and had never heard such sounds before. Since then, the speaker has noticed a pattern in people's paranormal experiences, where they often mention encountering dogs or dog-like entities. The speaker finds this intriguing and plans to investigate further. Overall, this shared experience as a teenager sparked the speaker's interest in the paranormal and continues to influence their work on the podcast.

    • Reports of giant humanoids persist throughout historyBelief in the existence of giants continues, from ancient mythology to modern times, despite lack of concrete evidence

      Despite the passage of time and the integration of giants into mythology and folklore, reports of giant humanoids continue to surface in various parts of the world. From ancient civilizations to modern times, stories of encounters with these large beings have persisted, leaving many wondering about their existence. Whether it's the cannibalistic giants of the Paiute tribe, the oversized natural spirits of Norse mythology, or the mysterious Bigfoot, the consistent thread is the belief in the existence of giants. While many dismiss these stories as mere legend, some continue to search for evidence of their reality. Whether these beings are remnants of ancient mythology or something more, their continued presence in folklore and reported sightings leaves the question open for debate.

    • Rumors of Military Encounters with Giants in AfghanistanUnverified reports claim US military encountered giants in Afghanistan and used massive bombs to eliminate them, but without solid evidence, these stories remain a subject of controversy.

      There are persistent rumors and allegations of the existence of giants in various parts of the world, including Afghanistan, and that there have been reports of military encounters with such beings. For instance, an unidentified member of a special ops force claimed to have encountered a giant in Kandahar, Afghanistan, in 2002, which the US government has since kept classified. Similarly, there have been claims that the massive Moab bomb dropped in ISIS territory in 2017 was used to eliminate giants, as alleged by unnamed whistleblowers. These stories raise intriguing questions about the possibility of the existence of giants and the extent to which governments may go to cover up such phenomena. Furthermore, there are small details that connect these stories, such as the name of the bomb, which is a biblical reference to ancient giant killers. However, without concrete evidence, these stories remain controversial and open to interpretation.

    • Locals' Beliefs of Giants Along Afghan-Chinese BorderDespite lacking concrete evidence, locals' deep-rooted beliefs in giants along the Afghan-Chinese border suggest a possibility of their existence, echoing old folklore and legends.

      There are reports and beliefs among locals in Afghanistan of the existence of giants in a specific area along the Afghan Chinese border. These giants are said to pose a significant threat, despite the area being relatively small compared to the size of Afghanistan as a whole. The locals' warnings against encountering them suggest a deep-rooted belief in their existence, but the stories and histories surrounding these giants leave many questions unanswered. While the evidence presented may not be conclusive, it points to the possibility of giants being less legend and more real than many may believe. This belief is reminiscent of old folklore and legends, leaving us to wonder if there is some truth to these ancient tales. For further exploration of this topic, check out the recommended podcast episodes.

    • Encounter with the Hatman in a Haunted HouseA haunted house in Mount Wolf, PA, was home to unexplained events like doors opening on their own, footsteps, a rolling bowling ball, and encounters with a figure called the Hatman. The Hatman, described as wearing a hat and a trench coat or Victorian clothing, was a common paranormal figure.

      The speaker experienced several unexplained events in an old house they lived in, including a door opening on its own, footsteps, a bowling ball rolling down the stairs, and an encounter with a figure known as the Hatman. These experiences left the speaker feeling terrified and unable to explain the phenomena. The house, located in Mount Wolf, Pennsylvania, had a history of a fire and a graveyard on the property with German graves. The Hatman, a common figure in paranormal encounters, is described as wearing a hat and a trench coat or Victorian clothing. The speaker's sister-in-law also reported seeing the figure three times. Despite the frightening experiences, the speaker's description of the Hatman was detailed enough to note the trench coat and hat, which are consistent with other reported encounters.

    • Encountering the Hat Man is more frightening than a physical intrusionExperiencing the unknown and intangible nature of the Hat Man can be more terrifying than a physical intrusion into one's home.

      The fear experienced during a paranormal encounter, such as seeing the Hat Man, can be more terrifying than a physical intrusion due to the unknown and intangible nature of the entity. The speaker in the conversation shared his experience of encountering a see-through figure wearing a hat, which he described as more frightening than if someone had broken into his house. The house where this encounter took place was rebuilt on a graveyard, but the speaker clarified that it was relatively close, not directly on the property. The Hat Man's appearance was unclear, but it was described as wearing long clothing reminiscent of a duster or trench coat, adding to the overall sense of fear. The speaker had not extensively researched the Hat Man after his encounter, but had heard that the experiences with this entity can be either extremely terrifying or relatively peaceful.

    • The Hat Man and children's gravesThe Hat Man, a common figure in paranormal experiences, often appears to children, and a house with his presence also had a graveyard filled with children's graves, raising intriguing connections.

      The Hat Man's appearance to children and the presence of a graveyard filled with children's graves on the property might be connected. The Hat Man, a common figure in paranormal experiences, often appears to children, and the graveyard near the house had a significant number of children's graves. While it's unclear if there's a definitive connection, it's an intriguing observation. Another interesting detail is the difference between the sounds of a bowling ball rolling down stairs and footsteps. The former produces a distinct, rapid sound, while the latter is a more gradual, step-by-step noise. When the speaker found a bowling ball at the bottom of the stairs, they initially thought it might have been responsible for the footsteps they heard, but upon reflection, they realized the sounds were distinct. Additionally, the speaker shared a family story about an angelic sighting at Hershey Medical Center. Their cousin, who was around 2 years old at the time, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. The family was in a waiting room or dining area when they reported seeing an angelic figure. While the speaker didn't remember the event, their grandmother and aunt vividly recalled it, adding another layer to the family's paranormal experiences.

    • A family's encounter with a disappearing doctor and unexplained phenomenaUnexplained events, like a disappearing doctor or teleportation, can deepen religious beliefs and serve as reminders of the unknown mysteries in our world, emphasizing the importance of faith and spiritual practices.

      There are mysterious and unexplained events in people's lives that may leave a profound impact. The story shared involves a family's encounter with a doctor who seemed to have disappeared during a prayer session, leading to the cure of a family member's cancer. Although they never found the doctor, the experience deepened their religious beliefs. This incident, along with other unexplained phenomena like seemingly teleporting individuals, raises questions about the existence of guardian angels or other supernatural forces. Regardless of the explanation, these stories serve as reminders of the unknown mysteries that exist in our world. The shared experiences also highlight the importance of faith and the potential impact of spiritual practices on individuals and their families.

    • Exploring life's mysteries through personal experiences and biblical studiesLife's mysteries, whether spiritual or unexplained, challenge our understanding and inspire us to seek answers, even if the connections are not immediately clear.

      Life's mysteries, whether they be spiritual encounters or unexplained phenomena, often leave us questioning and seeking answers. The speaker shares his personal experiences with biblical studies and encounters with the Hat Man, expressing the uncertainty of their meanings and origins. He acknowledges the limitations of human understanding when dealing with such matters and the potential for events to hold significance in the bigger picture, even if the connection is not immediately clear. The speaker's exploration of these experiences through the podcast is a testament to the human curiosity and the quest for understanding the unknown. Ultimately, the mysteries of life remain just that – mysteries – and the journey to unravel them is an ongoing process.

    • Unusual experiences in a new house linked to prayer routineSpeaker shares unexplained phenomena, suspects connection to prayer habits, encourages support for the show, and expresses determination to achieve goals

      The speaker experienced unusual and unexplained phenomena in their new house, particularly when they neglected to pray before going to bed. These incidents included feeling as if they were being stared at and hearing scratching noises near their closet door. The speaker believes there may be a connection between these experiences and their prayer routine, but cannot definitively explain the source of the noises or sensations. Despite the unexplained occurrences, the speaker found comfort in sharing their experiences and appreciated the opportunity to do so on the show. They encouraged listeners to support the show by leaving reviews, becoming patrons, and sharing the link on social media. The speaker's determination to achieve their goals, as expressed in the repeated phrase "I want the world," suggests a strong drive and focus in their life.

    Introducing: Free The Rabbits

    Introducing: Free The Rabbits
    How deep down the rabbit hole have you gone? Do you currently reside there? If so, it's time to touch grass and get your tail out of the hole!

    “Free The Rabbits” is a new podcast by Joel Thomas that explores the conspiratorial world without getting lost in the proverbial rabbit hole. It's easy to attribute negative causes and effects to events that don't make sense around us. While sometimes there might be a valid case for such machinations, there's just as likely a simple explanation. Joel Thomas doesn’t shy away from the weird, supernatural, and paranormal, but he offers a unique perspective on conspiracies. He acknowledges that theories are just that—possibilities, not provable facts.

    RELOADED | 381: Knock Knock Knock

    RELOADED | 381: Knock Knock Knock
    In Episode 381: Knock Knock Knock, we are joined by Travis, who did not experience anything paranormal in his life until he was around 20 years old, when he had a terrifying hatman encounter. The hatman Travis witnessed was different than many of the descriptions we’ve heard before, because the hatman wasn't alone. When Travis saw him, he was accompanied by a little girl to whom he was feeding a dead crow. Later in the episode, as we recap Travis’ experiences, some strange activity on the line leaves us feeling like the hatman was listening and interacting with us live in the moment!

    659: The Beast Of Bray Road

    659: The Beast Of Bray Road
    In episode 659: The Beast Of Bray Road, Lee Hample's encounters with the Beast of Bray Road and the mysterious phenomena on his property read like a supernatural thriller. He has amassed thousands of pieces of evidence, including pictures of the creature, eerie black and white mists, and even a UFO with an otherworldly being inside. Lee has also experienced multiple instances of missing time, deepening the mysterious lore. He firmly believes in the existence of portals and multiverses, supported by scientific theories and his own photographs of portals and translucent figures. The strange happenings are not isolated to his land; neighbors around Bray Road have also reported similar sightings and experiences, suggesting a peculiar connection to this area. Lee ponders the possibility that these phenomena may be interdimensional or tied to advanced technology beyond our current comprehension. Eyewitness testimonies lend further credibility to his claims, as does the presence of orbs and the peculiar hitchhiker effect. Lee's experiences open a window into a world of advanced technology and interdimensional entities, challenging our understanding of reality and hinting at forces far beyond human knowledge.

    In Episode 505: Slaying Dogman we are joined by Dakota. He wants to share his and his family's stories and encounters. He starts out talking about coming across a UFO with his dad that more than likely was a government craft that doesn't officially exist. He also shares about coming across what can only be described as a "hatman" but it did not act like what we have come to understand "hatman" to act like as it seemed much more aware and physical. But, he had my undivided attention when he told me a very detailed account that was passed down to him of when his great-grandfather killed a dogman while hunting in East Tennessee.
