Monthly Spooky | Evil Ghost Baby Exorcism, Boston Skull Mystery, and the New England Vampire Panic

Author: Henrique Couto | Scary Stories & Horror Expert February 23, 2026 Duration: 1:59:08
This time on Monthly Spooky, Henrique & Michelle tear into spooky news, true crime weirdness, and classic American vampire lore—the kind of stories that feel like they should be fake… but we're not so lucky. 

Inside this episode:
  • Galway exorcism: the headline that sounds impossible—“poltergeist of dead baby torments family”—and why it set the tone for the night. 
  • Rhode Island UFO sighting: a pilot report of an unexplained object over Rhode Island, and the eternal question—do you believe? 
  • Las Vegas escaped toucan: a rescue group tries to catch an escaped toucan before the desert weather does. 
  • Boston skull in concrete: a grim discovery that kicks up rumors, crime-history vibes, and that “what if it’s worse than we think?” feeling. 
  • New England vampire panic: how tuberculosis/consumption + grief + superstition became “vampires,” and how that lore echoes into modern horror. 

New here? This episode stands alone—jump in for ghosts, UFOs, true crime, folklore, and horror history with plenty of laughs along the way.

Henrique Couto has spent years digging into the shadows, and in Weekly Spooky: Horror Stories & Scary Tales, he turns that expertise into a regular dose of dread. This isn't just a seasonal treat; it's a year-round exploration of the unsettling, released every Monday and Wednesday. You'll hear original tales woven from classic threads-the whisper of an urban legend, the creak of a haunted house floorboard, the grim history of a cursed object. Familiar monsters like vampires and werewolves get fresh, chilling life, while cryptids lurk in the margins of modern myths. Each story is crafted for a mature audience, blending dark humor with genuinely cinematic sound design that pulls you right into the scene, all leading to those satisfying, often shocking, twist endings. While the podcast naturally excels during the spooky season with special deep dives, the commitment to weekly frights means the atmosphere is always ripe for a scare, whether the subject is pure fiction, dramatic re-tellings, or tales ripped from true crime's darkest corners. Settle in for a journey where the familiar becomes frightening again, narrated by a guide who truly understands the mechanics of a good, lasting chill.
