Off the coast of Brittany, France sits a lighthouse that the French government officially exorcised. Tévennec Lighthouse has one of the most disturbing and well-documented haunted histories of any location in Europe — unexplained deaths, keepers driven to madness, ancient Breton mythology, and a paranormal history that stretches back centuries before the lighthouse was ever built.In this episode of Creepy Shit, we investigate the full history of Tévennec — from the Napoleonic shipwreck that killed hundreds on those rocks, to the twenty-three lighthouse keepers who couldn’t survive a single year on the island, to the ancient Celtic death mythology that claimed the island long before the French government ever did.Every claim. Every detail. Fully sourced and documented.Because the creepiest shit is always the truest.

You think you know the Lake Lanier story. The haunted lake. The Lady of the Lake. The ghost town underwater. But I promise you — you do not know the half of it.Because underneath the ghost stories is a real, documented, devastating history that most people never talk about. A thriving Black community called Oscarville that was destroyed by racial terror in 1912. A county that maintained a White-only policy until the 1990s. Cemeteries at the bottom of a lake that were never moved. A woman’s body floating in a blue dress with no hands that sat unidentified for over thirty years. Seven people killed on Christmas Day. And a death toll of 700 people in less than 70 years — in a lake that is a fraction of the size of the bodies of water around it. This week, I'm joined by Sarah and Mackenzie from Tea Tales & Talks to dig into one of the most complicated, most heartbreaking, and most undeniably haunted locations in America. Because some places carry weight. And Lake Lanier has been carrying centuries of it. Get ready for some creepy shit.DISCLAIMER** This episode discusses racial violence, lynching, and racial terror in documented historical detail. 

Just outside one of the most populated cities on earth sits a 6,000-acre forest that has been collecting bodies — and secrets — since before the Roman Empire. Epping Forest isn’t just haunted. It’s a thousand-year crime scene layered on top of an Iron Age battlefield, a highwayman’s lair, and a gangland dumping ground. And that’s before we even get to the pond that locals say is *evil beyond measure.*In this episode of Creepy Shit, we’re diving deep into the true, documented, and wildly disturbing history of Epping Forest — England’s most dangerous woodland. We’re talking Celtic warrior queen Boudica’s last stand in 61 AD, Dick Turpin the real highwayman (not the romantic version — the murderous one), the Kray twins using the forest as their personal graveyard, a 30-year cold case known as the Babes in the Wood murders, a hill where your car rolls uphill with the engine off, and a pond with no location on any map that people say *pulls* you toward it.This one is packed with true crime, real history, paranormal activity, and the kind of dark folklore that will make you rethink everything you think you know about forests.

In 1915, a ship everyone knew was dangerous capsized in the Chicago River — killing 844 people on their way to a company picnic. More deaths than the Titanic’s passenger list. 22 entire families, gone. No one was ever held accountable. And to this day, people standing on Chicago’s Clark Street Bridge report seeing faces in the water below. This is the SS Eastland disaster. And it’s been buried long enough.References & Resources:• Britannica: Eastland Disaster• History.com: Hundreds Drown in Eastland Disaster• National Archives Chicago: Steamship Eastland Disaster• Chicagology.com: 1915 Eastland Disaster (primary newspaper accounts)• Eastland Disaster Historical Society: eastlanddisaster.org• US Ghost Adventures: Clark Street Bridge haunting• CBS Chicago: Chicago Hauntings — Ghosts of the Eastland Disaster• Czech Consulate Chicago: 100-year anniversary article• Forest Park Historical Society: Eastland Ship Disaster• Strange Ago: SS Eastland Disaster Survivor Accounts

Maine's most haunted lighthouse has one legend that will mess with you long after you stop listening. A keeper. His wife. A piano. One Song - played on repeat until something in him broke. What he did next is stuff of nightmares. And apprarently, she never stopped playing.Sailors still hear it drifting across the water on foggy nights. Caretakers report furniture moving on its own, one caretaker got locked in the basment! And there are at least two other presences on that island. We're going to Sequin Island. Come find out whats still out there. 

You heard the history and the happenings, Now hear what happened to my husband and I while we were at Shaker's Cigar Bar.In part 2 of our Shaker's Cigar Bar Bar, Podcast Birthday Celebration. Im taking you back inside, walking you through what I personally felt (& what my husband felt) from the moment I entered the building, what I captured on camera that I wasn't expecting and the moments that were hard to shake long after we left. Some of it is subtle, some of it is not.This is where it gets personal. No history lesson, no interview, just me telling you exactly what it feels like to spend time inside a place that is genuinely, documentably haunted.

One year ago, Creepy Shit was just an idea. Today, we're on Location!To mark one full year of this podcast. Im sitting inside one of America's Most Haunted bars - Shaker's Cigar Bar in Milwaukee, WI - with a man who has owned and breathed this building since the 1980's, Bob WeissAnd this place has layers, booWe're talking a building built on top of a cemetery. A prohibition-era speakeasy and brothel run by the Capone brothers. A sixteen year old girl named Molly Brennan who never made it out of the third floor. Human Bones found inside the wallsduring a 2001 renovation. Documented paranormal residents and a barstool that Jefferey Dahmer used to call his. Bob has spent nearly 40 years inside this building. In this episode, he walks us through all of it - the documented history, the unexplainable reports, and the personal experiences he's had. This is the episode I've been working toward since day one. I hope it hits you the way it hit me. Time to press play

There is a 50-acre patch of woods in Mathews County, Virginia that has been terrifying people for over 300 years — and the paper trail to prove it goes all the way to a federally funded government archive at the University of Virginia. Old House Woods is one of those locations that makes you question everything, because the witnesses aren’t anonymous internet strangers. They’re named. They’re dated. They gave their accounts to newspapers. And the history underneath those accounts — pirates, Revolutionary War gold, a royal governor who went rogue, Blackbeard operating miles away, a plantation built on a burial ground that caught fire and put itself out — is all on the record. This week, I'm joined by Ale and Tom from Macabre Monday to dig into one of the most layered, most documented, and somehow most overlooked haunted locations in America. Phantom ships. Skeleton soldiers in armor. Treasure that was never recovered. And a storm ghost who rises above the trees to scream warnings at fishermen. Welcome to Old House Woods. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.PS. This is just the beginning - This is the official kickoff to our Summer Series of Woods, Roads, Lakes and Lighthouses & More. Are you ready? Press Play
