Encounters x291 - Urban Legends Experienced in Real Life

This week’s Encounters dives into the dark, strange, and often terrifying world of urban legends that turn out to be a little too real. La Llorona, BEK, Goat Man, The Devil’s Tree and Slender Man?! Are these just haunting tales passed around the campfire? What happens if they turn out to be real?! These listener stories might just prove that they are.  We’re getting into: A nighttime visit to Red Ash Cemetery turns terrifying when a ghostly woman on all fours transforms into something... not quite human. A grandmother in Nepal encounters a black eyed kid — and nearly loses her life. A cursed tree with ties to a real serial killer might be responsible for a listener’s heartbreaking paranormal loss. A game of midnight hide-and-seek with Slender Man that reveals a ghost girl phasing through a fence. A listener sees their mother at their bedroom door… except she never got out of bed that night. Whether you’re chasing cryptid legends, playing paranormal games at 3 a.m., urban legends sometimes have roots in something very real — and very haunted.  Movie mentioned: Force Majeure Watch the video version here.
