Episode Description A strange murder. A quiet Denver neighborhood. And a case with a truth that may be more frightening than any ghost story. Tonight, we’re digging into a disturbing true-crime case filled with strange circumstances, unanswered questions, and an ending that reminds us that sometimes reality can be far more unsettling than the paranormal. As we piece together what happened, we’ll explore the crime, the investigation, and the eerie details that surrounded it. Because sometimes the scariest stories aren’t the ones about what might be haunting us… but the ones that actually happened. Turn down the lights, DeadHeads, and join us for another strange case from the Dead Air Files. —— Know more.

EPISODE CORRECTION: We want to correct a few historical errors in this episode. The attorney buried in the cemetery was Benjamin Franklin Wysor, not Bigbie. The field near the battlefield is corn and soybeans, not cotton. And the grave at Cleburne Wayside is Captain Christopher Cleburne, younger brother of General Patrick Cleburne, who died in the rear-guard action and requested to be buried where he fell. We sincerely apologize for these mistakes and thank the Wilderness Road Regional Museum for bringing them to our attention and helping us keep our history accurate. — Dead Air Files Is Newbern, Virginia, hiding one of Appalachia’s most overlooked paranormal hotspots? In this episode of Dead Air Files, we travel to the historic village of Newbern, Virginia, to investigate the legends surrounding the Wilderness Road Regional Museum and the stories that refuse to fade with time. From tales of unexplained apparitions and restless spirits to the echoes of frontier life and Civil War history, we ask one question: are these reports evidence of genuine hauntings—or are they simply history playing tricks on us? Join us as we separate folklore from fact, uncover the forgotten past of this Appalachian landmark, and explore whether Newbern is truly a hidden paranormal hotspot… or something much more. History leaves clues. Legends fill in the gaps. It’s up to you to decide what still lingers. —— Help support the Museum https://www.wildernessroadregionalmuseum.com/?fbclid=IwVERDUATiEt5wZG9mBWZkaWQWUMALzHc8ewsaA-RVTsAL1SU7IwZlVWV4dG4DYWVtAjEwAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkCjY2Mjg1NjgzNzkAAR6Vd8jKUNJNEqcqDm9_LSwZJL0nJ_cSl0Qa8NQFGs8a7_WnTit0hM52_xboIw_aem_gF9qXw85P5V8Y9sjJVqcWw —- Know more.

What if the vampire legend didn’t begin with Dracula? Long before Bram Stoker’s famous count stalked the night, villages across Poland whispered of a far older terror—the Strzyga. Born with a curse, marked by two souls, and believed to rise from the grave to feed on the living, this creature became one of the most feared monsters in Slavic folklore. In this episode of Dead Air Files, we journey into the heart of Poland to explore the history, the haunting legends, and the chilling accounts surrounding the Strzyga. From ancient beliefs and burial rituals to stories passed down through generations, we’ll uncover why this supernatural being has endured for centuries—and whether every legend begins with a grain of truth.

Deep in the mountains of Maryland, long before modern cryptid hunters and viral monster stories, terrified witnesses reported encounters with a creature unlike anything they had ever seen. With massive wings, razor-sharp claws, and a terrifying scream that echoed through the valleys, the Snallygaster became one of Appalachia’s most enduring legends. In this Dispatch episode of Dead Air Files, Mac dives into the history, folklore, and reported sightings of the infamous Snallygaster. From its roots in German immigrant folklore to newspaper reports that captured national attention, we’ll explore how this bizarre beast became one of America’s strangest cryptids. Was the Snallygaster simply a story used to frighten children? A case of mistaken identity fueled by fear and rumor? Or could there be something lurking in the mountains that defies explanation?

It’s a journey through history, mystery, and the paranormal as Dead Air Files returns to the location that started it all — Virginia’s infamous Poor House Road Tunnel, often called one of the most haunted tunnels in the Commonwealth.

What if two of Appalachia’s most mysterious cryptid legends are actually one and the same? For generations, witnesses across West Virginia have reported encounters with strange pale creatures seen along remote roads, deep forests, and isolated mountain communities. Often referred to as the “White Things,” these unexplained beings are described as towering white-haired figures with glowing eyes, immense strength, and an unsettling presence that has fueled local folklore for decades. In this episode of Dead Air Files: Dispatch, Mac investigates the history, sightings, and legends surrounding the White Things of West Virginia while exploring a fascinating theory: could these mysterious creatures actually be connected to the legendary Sheepsquatch? With striking similarities in appearance, behavior, and location, some believe the White Things may simply be another name for one of Appalachia’s most famous cryptids. Join Mac as he examines eyewitness accounts, regional folklore, cryptid reports, and the evidence behind this intriguing connection. Are the White Things and the Sheepsquatch separate creatures, different interpretations of the same legend, or something far stranger lurking in the mountains of Appalachia? ————- Know more.

Along the isolated backroads and marshlands of coastal Virginia, one legend has survived for generations—the tale of the Witch of Pungo. Described as a mysterious woman living on the edge of society, she was feared by some, respected by others, and blamed for strange happenings that locals struggled to explain. In this episode of Dead Air Files, we journey into the history and folklore surrounding one of Virginia's most enduring legends. Was the Witch of Pungo truly a practitioner of supernatural arts, or did fear, isolation, and rumor transform a real person into a lasting ghost story? From local accounts and regional folklore to the historical roots of the legend, we'll explore how one woman became immortalized as a witch—and why her story continues to fascinate people more than a century later.

In this newest episode of Dead Air Files, Mac is joined by Nathan—aka Nightshade from Sunflower and Nightshade—for a wide-ranging conversation that drifts between true crime, cryptids, and the strange space where the two overlap. From unsettling real-world cases to the folklore that refuses to stay buried, the discussion moves through the shadows of both history and legend. Together, they dig into the question of what happens when eyewitness accounts, local myths, and unexplained encounters start to blur together—and why those stories stick with us long after we hear them. It’s part investigation, part storytelling, and part deep dive into the unknown.

Its reputation has traveled far beyond the region, becoming synonymous with fear, folklore, and the paranormal. But what if that’s only part of the story? In this episode of Dead Air Files, we step beyond the expected and uncover a deeper truth—Radford is haunted in more places than anyone talks about. Between Memorial Bridge and the towering Norfolk Southern Railroad Trestle, something lingers along the New River. Witnesses report whispers beneath the bridge, footsteps echoing through empty paths, and an overwhelming sense of being watched. And then there’s the figure by the water—a woman seen standing at the river’s edge at dusk. Silent. Motionless. Gone without a trace. This land carries the weight of the American Civil War, where troop movement and unrest once shaped the region. Many believe that energy never left. Shadow figures still move through the trees. Voices drift across the river. The past doesn’t just exist here—it presses in. And just beyond it all stands Glencoe Mansion. Quiet. Historic. Unassuming. Yet inside, reports tell of shifting objects, unexplained sounds, and a presence that refuses to be ignored. Some believe whatever haunts the riverbanks may be connected to what walks its halls. This investigation follows the pattern across these locations—bridges, water, and walls—revealing a network of activity that challenges everything people think they know about this town. Because Radford’s story isn’t centered in one building. It’s woven into the land itself. This isn’t just a ghost story. It’s a field investigation into the hidden hauntings of Appalachia—where the past still breathes… and sometimes, watches from the water’s edge. ———— Know more.

In this Ledgers episode of Dead Air Files, we examine one of the most enduring true crime mysteries in literary history—the unexplained death of Edgar Allan Poe. In 1849, Poe was found in a disoriented state under mysterious circumstances—only to die days later without ever fully explaining what happened to him. What followed was a trail of conflicting reports, missing details, and theories that continue to circulate across the world. Was his death the result of illness, foul play, or something that has never been fully uncovered? Tonight, we examine the case, the questions, and the mystery that refuses to fade. 🎙️ Dead Air Files: Ledgers explores true crime with historical depth, global intrigue, and stories that still echo through time.
