In October 1974, an exorcism was performed on Michael Taylor--who church officials claimed was possessed by as many as 40 demons. Over 8 hours, Michael was subjected to an agonizing exorcism ritual--and all but 3 demons were cast away. The three that remained were named insanity, anger, and murder. The plan was to finish the exorcism the following day after everyone had gotten some rest. That day would never come. Was Michael Taylor really possessed by 40 demons as some claimed? Or was he suffering from a mental health crisis?  Join me in The Red Treehouse to find out!

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore something that scares most, if not all of us--a living doll. In this case, we'll look at arguably the scariest and most haunted doll in existence--Robert the Doll. His villainy is scary and widespread, and it's been claimed he's responsible for divorce, job loss, and at least one death. Is it possible for an inanimate object to be a conduit for evil spirits, even the Devil himself? And what about the dolls in your own home—what malevolence might they be harboring, and planning?

Using first-person narration, the reader is left off-balance throughout—mainly because we only know the narrator’s gender. The story “contains no descriptions of his physical features, his age, or where he is traveling from. Apart from his boyhood friendship, his history is unknown.” Poe’s intent is masterfully accomplished—the reader, whether they realize it or not, takes the role of the narrator and experiences the story both in the first-person and the third person. And make no mistake, this story is guaranteed to keep you up at night! So, sit back, pull up the covers, and pay close attention as I read The Fall of the House of Usher.

When we think of zombies, it's likely disease-infected, flesh-eating reanimated corpses come to mind. And though zombies make for entertaining movies, tv shows, comics, and video games; we know they're the stuff of fiction. Except, in the case of Clairvius Narcisse--who was declared dead and buried in 1962; only to reappear in 1980. And the story he told is the stuff of literal nightmares. Did Clairvius Narcisse really die and come back as a zombie? Or is there a natural--and far darker--explanation? Join me in The Red Treehouse to find out!

In the late 1890s, Clara Crane committed an awful crime against her husband; then, nearly a decade after--and just a few years after her release from a mental health hospital--children in Terrell, Texas, began disappearing. They'd received a piece of candy on their windowsill, with a signed note stating, "From the Candy Lady." Is Clara Crane, the infamous Candy Lady, nothing more than an urban legend?

An absolute classic, the story’s influence endures today, nearly 140 years later; and its antagonist/protagonist, Jekyll and Hyde, is still used in reference to people who have “an outwardly good but sometime shockingly evil nature.” I'll read this classic horror story in three parts.

Its most well-known iteration, The Ouija Board, has been readily available in retail stores for over 125 years. Though advertised as a simple game, the horrifying stories of Zozo leave us with these questions: Is the Ouija Board a game, or a conduit to something dark and sinister?

First published in 1924, The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell, has been called “the most popular short story ever written in English.” This classic story introduces us to a big-game hunter who reaches what appears to be a deserted island. Except, it isn’t—and eventually, he finds himself squarely in the crosshairs as the big-game hunter becomes the hunted. Now, 100 years old, this classic story has been adapted many times—and has the distinction of possibly being referenced by the infamous Zodiac Killer who terrorized California in the late 1960s and early 1970s. I'll tell this story in two parts.

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a deeply unsettling and genuinely scary phenomenon--Doppelgängers.

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a harrowing conspiracy theory, The Montauk Project. In 1992, Preston Nichols published a book detailing an alleged top-secret government program to develop mind control, telekinesis, time travel, and contact with extraterrestrials. It sounds like something out of a science fiction novel—and Preston Nichols’ book is categorized as science fiction. Except, he stoked the fires and blurred the lines between reality and fiction by writing, “whether you read this as science fiction or non-fiction, you are in for an amazing story.” And, did you know, the hit television series, Stranger Things, is loosely based on The Montauk Project. Was the United States government really conducting top secret tests on unsuspecting subjects? Or is this another case of a conspiracy theory gone wild? Join me in The Red Treehouse to find!

It’s a near-universal truth that legends about the Bogeyman exist all over the world, and while these monsters take on different forms and have unique backstories, the Bogeyman stands as a reminder of the power of folklore and oral tradition. In many Spanish-speaking countries, the Bogeyman is known as “El Coco,” though the specific name varies from country to country and culture to culture. Other variations of El Coco include “Coca, Cucuy, Cuca, Cucu, Cucui,”—and of course, El Cuco. Despite the variations in name and details, there is a terrifying reality that ties them all together: El Coco is a child-eater.  What makes this monster so scary? And does he really snatch unruly children or is he nothing more than an urban legend? Join me in The Red Treehouse to find out!

First published in 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, is inarguably one of the most famous gothic horror stories of all-time. An absolute classic, the story’s influence endures today, nearly 140 years later; and its antagonist/protagonist, Jekyll and Hyde, is still used in reference to people who have “an outwardly good but sometime shockingly evil nature.” I'll read this classic horror story in three parts. So, sit back, turn down the lights, pull up the covers, and pay close attention as I read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.  Follow The Red Treehouse: TikTok/Instagram/YouTube/X: @redtreehousepod Email: redtreehousepod@gmail.com Horror Music by Teles50 Horror Box by Magnetic_Trailer Learn more about your ad choices.

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a genuinely cursed building, and one of the most haunting tragedies in recent decades--the Cecil Hotel and the mysterious death of Elisa Lam. Nearly 100 years old, the Cecil Hotel has seen its share of tragedy--mysterious deaths, suicides, and murders. It's also played host to at least two serial killers--Richard Ramirez and Jack Unterweger. Perhaps, though, the most tragic and mysterious death was Elisa Lam, who was found dead after being missing for nearly 3 weeks. A chilling elevator surveillance video has only served to increase the mystery surrounding her death. Even now, we're left with these questions: Is the Cecil Hotel cursed?

First published in 1907, The Voice in the Night by William Hope Hodgson, is a terrific short horror story that has been adapted several times over the past century-plus. The story involves two boats, one with a small crew of sailors; the other, seemingly abandoned. A mysterious voice calls from the boat, asking for food; but, despite the sailor’s requests, refuses to come into the light. Focusing on themes of corruption amidst the mysterious, and fear of the unknown, Hodgson’s tale can be read as a warning against betraying one’s morality in the face of mysterious circumstances. If you’re afraid of the dark, this story is guaranteed to keep you up at night! So, sit back, turn down the lights, pull up the covers, and pay close attention as I read The Voice in the Night by William Hope Hodgson.

In 1993, John and Nancy Bosco were found murdered in their home in Ferndale, Montana—they’d been shot to death while they slept in their beds. In some ways, there’s nothing extraordinary about this tragedy. Except, John’s mother, Toni, had a nightmare that something awful was going to happen to her son. And, after the murders were committed, and the trail went cold, police brought in a psychic—who may have helped solve the case. And, if that wasn’t enough, the murderer claimed to have been haunted by a recurring nightmare—that prophesied what he was going to do months before he did it. Is it possible for human beings to tell the future? Is it possible to tap into some unseen force that allows us to know things are going to happen before they do? Could the murders of John and Nancy Bosco have been prevented?  Join me in The Red Treehouse to find out!

In 1989, a strange missing persons PSA was broadcast into homes across the Chicago area. A low-quality, black-and-white picture of a woman only known as Joanna Lopez was broadcast into homes with an alert indicating she was missing, and a phone number to call. Though unusual, this wasn’t necessarily strange. Except, it’s very possible Joanna Lopez not only wasn’t missing; but she doesn’t exist at all.  Was she a real person who went missing in 1989? Or is this case nothing more than an urban legend?

The Annabelle movies, part of the larger Conjuring universe, introduced the cursed doll to the masses. And while the movies depict her as terrifying—and murderous—at first glance, she isn’t particularly striking or scary. And, since 1970, she has sat in a glass enclosure at Ed and Lorraine Warren’s Occult Museum in Monroe, Connecticut—with a warning at the bottom of the case that reads: “Warning, positively do not open.” But how did a regular Raggedy Anne doll become a harbinger of evil?

In the 1970s, Doris Bither claimed her home was haunted by several entities. The phenomenon was standard--lights flickering on and off, doors opening and closing by themselves. But, then, she made another claim: the entities were physically--and sexually--assaulting her. To this day, the case remains as controversial as ever, even with a fictionalized novel (published in 1978) and a mainstream Hollywood film (released in 1982).
