Everyone knows that scene on The Shining. You know the one. Twins at the end of a long hallway. Or maybe you pictured Jack Nicholson as he hacked down the door. The Shining was certainly one of Stephen King's greatest works in both literature and on the silver screen. But where did he think it up? Alyssa and Lindsey discuss the Stanley Hotels history and the events that led up to Kings genius horror novel.

Dare you to tread the murky paths of Louisiana at night, where the Rougarou lurks in the inky shadows? Alyssa and Lindsay take you deep into the heart of this spine-chilling legend, where animal mutilation and werewolf accusations paint a harrowing picture of fear and superstition. Our conversation isn't just a ghost story; it's a grim reflection on how hysteria can twist societies, turning the misunderstood into monsters. As we unravel this dark tale, you'll find yourself questioning not just the existence of the Rougarou, but the very nature of belief and the consequences it can bear.
Have you ever considered what it takes to transform into a creature of folklore terror? We dissect the curse of the Rougarou, revealing the eerie triggers of transformation, from the breaking of Lent vows to the bite of the beast itself. Comparing this enigmatic entity to your typical werewolf, we explore the fabric of legend that stitches the Rougarou into Louisiana's cultural tapestry. A woman's recent, haunting encounter with the beast provides a contemporary glimpse into the legend, while the mystique of a 101-day curse lends a chilling edge to this ancient narrative.
Finally, we discuss the quirky yet fascinating traditions meant to protect against such cryptids, including the strategic placement of household items. You'll hear us weigh the credibility of this egendary creature, amidst expressions of deep gratitude for our listeners and a celebration of our podcast's triumphs. And as we close, we extend an invitation to support Macab Midnight Podcast, ensuring that every encounter with the supernatural on our show leaves you eagerly anticipating the next.

Ever wondered about the true nature of fairies? Prepare yourself for a spellbinding journey as we uncover the dark and eerie folklore of the Sluagh, the malevolent fairy folk from Ireland and Scotland. After a brief summer hiatus, we return with a brand new editor to elevate your listening experience and plenty of fresh content, including details on our upcoming giveaways. This episode unravels the myths surrounding the Sluagh, their sinister habit of stealing spirits and transforming them into wicked dogs, and the unsettling encounters that suggest these beings are anything but benevolent.
In this episode, we delve deeply into Celtic lore, specifically focusing on the Sluagh or Sidhe. We'll debunk the popular misconception of fairies as friendly creatures and reveal their darker, more terrifying sides. From the moral dilemmas of transferring curses, akin to the plot of "It Follows," to the harrowing story of a boy from Barra, Scotland, whose soul was stolen by the Sluagh, we cover it all. Expect to be both entertained and spooked as we discuss how these malevolent spirits have influenced cultural beliefs and personal experiences. Join us as we navigate these tales and invite you to feel like part of our haunted family.

Ever wonder if your pets sense something you don't? In the spirit of eerie exploration, we've packed this episode with a cryptic story of a haunted house story that'll have you side-eyeing your own abode. We navigate through petrifying paranormal accounts, where animals react to unseen forces and toys defy the laws of physics. We share our insights on whether it's gravity playing tricks or if there's something more sinister at play when a plush bear takes a tumble. As we cast light on the difficulties of escaping a haunted home, we invite you to ponder the possibility of another realm brushing against ours.
Diving into the heart of darkness, we unravel a family's harrowing experiences that link severe health crises to potentially malevolent spirits. Imagine seizures intensified by an ominous presence, a toddler's unexplained fall, and the foreboding dreams of a mother, all tied to a home cloaked in shadows.
Concluding our nocturnal journey, we recount a chilling encounter within a forsaken graveyard, where a creature with glowing eyes and deer-like legs sent shivers down our spines. Could this have been a guardian of the graves, or perhaps a specter woven into the dark tapestry of Lizzie Borden's infamous legacy? And as we beckon you to join our community of hauntlings, we tease the promise of more macabre tales to come. Venture with us, if you dare, and let your imagination roam the shadowy corners of the Macab at Midnight Podcast.
