Spooky season is synonymous with fall, but it turns out the spookiest time of all was the summer of 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts. New England was plagued with division everywhere you turned - natives and colonists were battling one another, smallpox was killing people left and right, and Salem itself was forming two distinct identities. So it came as no surprise when Reverend Samuel Parris claimed the devil was out to get him and his entire congregation. Soon thereafter, young women began exhibiting strange behaviors - barking, writhing in pain, seeing things that weren't there. When conventional medicine failed to heal them, they blamed it on the "Evil Hand." In turn, hundreds of people were wrongfully accused of witchcraft, and 19 innocent men and women faced execution. What caused the initial outbursts? And what happened to those who made up such tall tales? Were there any actual witches involved? Tune in to learn all about the infamous trials that became one of our nation's first government coverups. Spoiler alert : humans are the true ghouls at the heart of this story - aren't they always? Happy haunting! 

It's been a minute, but don't think we've forgotten about our tried and true Spooky Hours! You know, the episodes where we're running short on time and have to whip up something really quick? Well, they're back! Just in time for the official start of spooky season, we're treating you with some seriously scary ghost stories. No tricks here! These are all true... or at least that's what Reddit told us. Tune in for tales about the infamous Huggin' Molly, ghost hands grabbing ankles and ex husbands visiting at the hour of their death. You'll laugh, you'll shiver and you just might cry, but no matter what, you're sure to have a good time. Happy haunting! 

What a delicious week for news! Particularly if you're a fan of wine. We're bringing you all the latest and greatest (and let's be honest, some stuff that's really not great at all but needs to be said.) We'll uncover why you shouldn't run across the Atlantic in a giant hampster wheel of death, that when enough people practice corpse pose, it can look like a mass suicide, and that you shouldn't offer to help anyone who says they're having car trouble, because it could mean certain death. Most importantly, we'll discuss the best way to collect red wine if you're lucky enough to find it flooding your cellar. Get your spooky news here, folks! Happy haunting! 

It's that time again, folks! We're rounding up all the ooky spooky, freaky deaky and truly disturbing news we can find. And let me tell you, there's no shortage. We're checking out some creepy basements (yet again!) and digging into old murders tied to the Long Island Serial Killer. There's cars driving into second story houses, women feeding their ex in-laws poisonous mushrooms and snakes falling from the sky. We'll talk about the Tahoe Tickler, who is as gross as he sounds, and uncover the truth behind aliens stalking a Peruvian village. Best of all, we may uncover proof of Bigfoot. You'll have to tune in to find out. Happy haunting! 

There's the jobs you'd never want to do, and then there's the jobs you'd REALLY never want to do but would love to know about all the gory details. Like body collecting. We're not talking body snatching, but rather good old fashioned, medical examiner type body collecting. A job title our guest Paige has dubbed "the body picker upper." This week we're bringing you an ooky spooky listener story all about what happens after you die. Where does your body go? Well, someone like Paige picks it up, no matter what state it's in. We'll learn what happens when you die while eating a Popeye's chicken sandwich and uncover how someone like Paige learns to live with the sights and smells day in and day out. It's not a job (or an episode) for the faint of heart, but someone's gotta do it! Hop on in for a ride inside Paige's "Soccer mom death van" and learn what it's like to work on the dark side of life. Happy haunting! 

What a week for spooky news! We're digging into the weird and the wacky with crazy stories from around the world. A whistleblower confirms aliens are real (duh), and residents of Las Vegas see some for themselves. Body snatchers are on the move again, Bill Murray is getting his fill of milkshakes in the yard and satan-worshiping witches are feasting on deer carcasses. Nope, that's not a misprint. Bill Murray really is dating Kelis. We'll go international, taking the most wicked bus route straight to Hel, Poland, and we'll discuss whether a serial killer in the PNW is a real threat or unfounded rumor. There's all that and more in EBC's latest news update. Tune in to get freaky! Happy Haunting! 

In January of 1959, a team of young Russian college students set out on an expedition deep into the Ural mountains. Their diaries and the film found in their cameras tell a story of friends exploring together, having fun and laughing along the way. 10 days into their journey, for reasons unknown, the students cut their way out of their tent in the middle of the night, and ran out into the freezing cold in various states of undress. Weeks later, when they did not return as scheduled, search parties would set out and eventually find the entire group dead. Autopsies later revealed injuries ranging from black eyes and scabbed knuckles, to shattered skulls and missing tongues. Of course there were soon rumors of mysterious lights in the sky, military conspiracies, and traces of radiation. This week on EBC, we'll dive deep into the Dyatlov Pass Incident, one of history's most enduring unsolved mysteries. We'll touch on all the weird and spooky details, and explore all the theories. Before Halee falls into a creepy obsessive abyss, Elise shares a delicious fall treat, and someone commits to getting the very first EBC fan tattoo on their ass cheek! This week is full of spookiness you won't want to miss! 
Happy Haunting! 

It's the day after Thanksgiving.

We'll chat about what happens when you die, gasp at creepy premonitions and cringe over nasty Uber drivers giving off major stalker vibes. Don't be afraid to listen in the dark, but watch out for owls and baby-snatching witches. Happy Haunting!
