The Backrooms began as internet horror: endless yellow rooms, damp carpet, fluorescent buzzing, and the terrifying idea that someone could slip out of reality and land somewhere they were never meant to be.

But is that fear really new?

In this episode, we explore the Backrooms as modern folklore — a digital-age version of much older stories about thin places, fairy mounds, haunted thresholds, time slips, caves, and other worlds hidden just beneath our own. From Gettysburg ghost stories to Saint Patrick’s Purgatory, King Herla, and real cave isolation experiments, we look at why certain places feel wrong, why time seems to bend underground, and why humans have always feared the spaces between worlds.

Pull up a lantern and settle in for a collection of strange, eerie, and unsettling camping stories.

This week, we explore paranormal encounters from the woods: a mysterious woman on a forest road, a haunted pond with something waiting in the dark, strange screams outside a tent, a possible Bigfoot encounter, a ghostly warning near a truck, night walkers, and even what may have been a portal in the trees.

Some stories feel like ghost stories. Others feel like folklore, cryptid encounters, or glitches in reality. But they all share one thing: the feeling that, sometimes, the woods are not as empty as they seem.

Police officers and first responders are often called into the strange, dangerous, and unexplained. But sometimes the call itself is the mystery.

In this episode, we share paranormal and supernatural stories involving law enforcement, EMTs, firefighters, dispatchers, and other first responders—from a woman in white who should have been dead, to a fatal crash with an impossible fleeing driver, to a 911 call that may have come from beyond the grave.

Some stories are chilling. Some are strangely comforting. And some leave everyone involved asking the same question:

What exactly did they respond to?

What if the rules of the Appalachian Mountains are not just spooky warnings — but old advice about what not to answer, follow, touch, or invite in?

In Part 2 of our Appalachian rules series, we look at voices in the woods, whistling, strange sounds, fairy etiquette, haunted places, paranormal investigation rules, and the unsettling idea that sometimes the safest thing you can do is simply refuse to acknowledge what’s calling.

Are these rules rooted in folklore, practical caution, or modern internet horror? Pull up a chair in the attic and let’s find out.

There are some rules people don’t question.

Don’t whistle in the woods at night. Don’t answer when something calls your name. Don’t leave the marked trail. And if you see a strange light moving between the trees… don’t follow it.

In this episode, we begin our deep dive into the so-called “Rules of the Appalachian Mountains,” separating modern internet horror from practical wilderness advice and older folklore. Along the way, we explore Cherokee stories, mountain warnings, hidden paths, strange music in the woods, and personal encounters with lights that seemed to beckon from the darkness.

This is Part 1 of our look at Appalachian rules, folklore, and the unsettling idea that some warnings survive for a reason.

• Appalachian folklore
• Paranormal encounters

A stranger stands alone on a dark road. You stop to help. They get in the car, speak like anyone else, and then — impossibly — they’re gone.

This week, we explore the eerie and surprisingly emotional folklore of vanishing hitchhikers: ghostly passengers, Resurrection Mary, taxi-driver encounters, prophetic riders, and stories where the dead may simply be trying to find their way home.

Are these just legends that travel from town to town? Or are they glimpses of something stranger — a pattern of encounters that keeps repeating across time, roads, and cultures?
