Bedtime Story #28: Mel's Diner

Back in 1966, Disneyland debuted their new attraction, It’s A Small World which boasted over 240 animatronics and an unforgettable soundtrack that surely would leave a tune running in your head for a long time. The ride was made for the kids, who would be overloaded with all these cute dolls singing to them as they ride in their little boats in amaze. But for some, these little dolls can become quite creepy. Almost as if the dolls have trapped souls in them, there have been eerie reports that even after the ride is shut down and closed, the dolls can still be heard singing in the dead of night. Have you experienced anything?

Legend has it that when the store used to be a Zod’s a tragic double murder-suicide unfolded in the upstairs stockroom, involving a couple who were employees of Zody&#39;s. Allegedly, the boyfriend discovered that his girlfriend cheated on him with another male coworker,, leading to a violent outburst where he used a box cutter to fatally wound them both before taking his own life by slashing his wrists and carotid artery. It&#39;s said that the spirits of all three individuals now haunt the premises. As reports of strange phenomena continued to mount, even after the store turned into the big K-Mart I know it is as today… K-Mart #7625… Kmart headquarters in Michigan received word of the unsettling events, and were spooked… prompting them to engage paranormal investigators to delve into the matter. While the investigation was discreet, its findings revealed the presence of four distinct spirits inhabiting the building, with the fourth spirit&#39;s origins remaining a mystery.

Have you ever visited Disneyland and pondered the multitude of things you might have missed throughout the entire park? Maybe some sort of hidden area you never discovered? Have you daydreamed about having the entire park to yourself, even staying beyond operating hours until all the employees had departed? Well, there were indeed two boys who dared to fulfill this fantasy, and it led to a tragic event that no one that have embarked this part of the park will every forget. In June 1973, two siblings found themselves in an unexpected and tragic situation.

TRUE Stories #2: Stranger Danger on Tinder

When you hear the phrase &#39;Men in Black,&#39; one of the first things that may come to mind for many of you is the famous science fiction movie series starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. But did you know that the comic the movies were based on, Lowell Cunningham&#39;s The Men in Black, was itself based on a popular UFO conspiracy? Men in Black, as the name would suggest, are beings that appear, usually in black suits, often after UFO sightings. Many people who believe they have seen Men in Black saw something unusual in the sky moments before. Another widely reported theme involving these beings is the deep feeling of distress the witnesses feel after the sighting. One such man who feels he had an encounter with one of these &#39;Men in Black&#39; was Dr. Herbert Hopkins. In early September 1976, as the first hints of fall were coming to Maine, Dr. Hopkins found himself consumed by a case he had consulted on the year prior. For whatever reason, Dr. Hopkins couldn&#39;t shake the story from his mind... until one strange visitor forced him to.Social Media:Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thescarecast/?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/thescarecast/?hl=en</a>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thescarecast?lang=en" rel="nofollow">https://www.tiktok.com/@thescarecast?lang=en</a>Go Subscribe to my YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@scarecast" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/@scarecast</a>Buy Merch: <a href="https://thescarecast.com/store/" rel="nofollow">https://thescarecast.com/store/</a>Contact me through email: mike@thescarecast.com for any story requests or inquiries, concerns, or advertising inquiries.

Many urban legends and myths have been created as stories were shared across generations, often morphing and changing between the decades. However, perhaps the far scarier legends are those that are backed up by real-life events. Since the late 80s, rumors have swirled about a ghost that haunts Disneyland&#39;s Matterhorn ride. It started with Disneyland staff members who felt an eerie presence around the Matterhorn, some of them even seeing what they thought was a ghost at a particular point on the track known as Dolly&#39;s Dip. What was causing these employees, who worked at the supposed &#39;happiest place on earth,&#39; to consistently feel like there was darkness along the tracks? To answer that question, we need to go back to 1984.  Social Media:Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thescarecast/?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/thescarecast/?hl=en</a>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thescarecast?lang=en" rel="nofollow">https://www.tiktok.com/@thescarecast?lang=en</a>Go Subscribe to my YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@scarecast" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/@scarecast</a>Buy Merch: <a href="https://thescarecast.com/store/" rel="nofollow">https://thescarecast.com/store/</a>Contact me through email: mike@thescarecast.com for any story requests or inquiries, concerns, or advertising inquiries.

On July 8, 1974, guests at a Disneyland attraction called America Sings, which had six rotation stages showing different acts, were waiting for the next act to start when they heard a bone-chilling scream. Many of the guests thought the scream belonged to the show; however, after one guest noticed what appeared to be a girl stuck in between the ride’s rotating stages, the attraction was immediately put to a stop. Another staff member would discover that the attraction&#39;s hostess, 18-year-old Deborah Gail Stone, had been fatally crushed. It&#39;s unknown how Deborah ended up in her fatal state. After the tragedy, Disneyland installed safety lights and breakaway walls to ensure such accidents would never happen again. Also, it seemed that Deborah Stone herself wanted to prevent others from meeting the same fate. Before the attraction was permanently closed in 1988, several cast members reported hearing a disembodied female voice telling them: &#34;Be careful.&#34;Social Media:Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thescarecast/?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/thescarecast/?hl=en</a>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thescarecast?lang=en" rel="nofollow">https://www.tiktok.com/@thescarecast?lang=en</a>Go Subscribe to my YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@scarecast" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/@scarecast</a>Buy Merch: <a href="https://thescarecast.com/store/" rel="nofollow">https://thescarecast.com/store/</a>Contact me through email: mike@thescarecast.com for any story requests or inquiries, concerns, or advertising inquiries.

Have you ever seen a UFO? It&#39;s a question that propels us into the realm of the inexplicable, inviting contemplation of the uncharted territories beyond our understanding. Encounters with Unidentified Flying Objects prompt diverse reactions—skepticism, intrigue, wonder, and sometimes fear. These sightings, often recounted as surreal experiences, challenge our conventional notions of reality. Witnesses describe ethereal lights dancing across the sky, strange aerial maneuvers defying known physics, and encounters that leave lasting impressions, shrouded in mystery. While some dismiss these sightings as misidentified natural or man-made phenomena, others remain resolute in their belief that these unexplained events signify something beyond our current understanding. UFO encounters transcend cultural boundaries, leaving an indelible mark on those who claim to have witnessed them, while simultaneously fueling ongoing debates about the potential existence of extraterrestrial life and the mysteries of the universe.Now how about some experiences from people who have witnessed these extraordinary objects in the sky. The first story is about a routine late-night drive for a college student, driving home from Indiana University, who encounters an eerie sequence of event leaving the protagonist grappling with an unan swerable question: what transpired over several hours that inexplicably passed for such a short drive, stick around and find out...

Bedtime Story #25: "My Dad Takes Storytime Very Seriously"

On Halloween night in 1974, in Deer Park, Texas, seemed like any other Halloween night... Ronald Clark O&#39;Bryan, along with his children and several neighbors, embarked on a trick-or-treating adventure. They encountered a darkened house, its porch lights extinguished, but Ronald insisted they knocked on the door for treats. Impatient, the group left after no one answered, but Ronald stayed behind, claiming to have received some expensive Pixy Stix candies. That evening, he allowed his eight-year-old son, Timothy, to have one, which tragically led to the child&#39;s vomiting and convulsions. Rushing Timothy to the hospital proved futile, as the young boy passed away within an hour after consuming the candy. Investigators suspected foul play and discovered that the Pixy Stix candy was laced with enough cyanide to end two adult males. Suspicion fell on Ronald, as the homeowner of the house he claimed to get the candy from had a solid alibi, as he worked at the airport. Further investigation revealed Ronald&#39;s financial troubles and the multiple life insurance policies he took out on his children that same year. It became evident that he had plotted to poison the candies, framing an innocent stranger to secure a hefty insurance payout.

The Scarecast Files #4: The Man Who Ruined Trick-Or-Treating (Ronald Clark O'Bryan)

Halloween, originally derived from the Celtic Samhain celebration, marked the night when the dead returned to Earth. This holiday delighted those who enjoyed embracing the spooky side of life, yet caused unease for families wishing to avoid attracting spirits to their homes. People used scary masks and carved faces into turnips and other root vegetables to ward off these spirits. And now, people carve these scary faces into pumpkins, which we refer to as Jack O&#39; Lanterns. But where did this all originate from?The story of Stingy Jack, a miserable, manipulative blacksmith in 18th-century Ireland, is what started it all. Jack would even trick the Devil, who was highly interested in acquiring Jack&#39;s demented soul. At the time of death, Jack was denied entry to both Heaven and Hell, and would be left to roam the Earth with an ember from Hell in a turnip lantern, becoming known as &#34;Jack o&#39; the Lantern.&#34;Irish immigrants in the United States introduced the pumpkin for carving jack-o&#39;-lanterns, now a Halloween tradition, to keep spirits like Stingy Jack away. *** Social Media:Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thescarecast/?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/thescarecast/?hl=en</a>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thescarecast?lang=en" rel="nofollow">https://www.tiktok.com/@thescarecast?lang=en</a>Go Subscribe to my YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@scarecast" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/@scarecast</a>Buy Merch: <a href="https://thescarecast.com/store/" rel="nofollow">https://thescarecast.com/store/</a>Contact me through email: mike@thescarecast.com for any story requests or inquiries, concerns, or advertising inquiries.

In the gripping tales of the supernatural and the inexplicable, our journey begins with a collection of bone-chilling stories that delve into the realms of danger, mystery, and the unexplained. In this episode, S8E8, we present &#34;5 TRUE Scary Stories&#34; that will send shivers down your spine and make you question the thin veil that separates the ordinary from the extraordinary.-----The first story recounts a harrowing experience of narrowly escaping a relationship turned deadly. Working at a warehouse seemed mundane until a friendship took a sinister turn, unraveling a web of threats and danger. Brace yourself for a tale of deception, survival, and the haunting reality that some friendships can lead to a dance with death.Story 1: &#34;I was almost a victim of a killer&#34; posted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Scare_Country/" rel="nofollow">u/Scare_Country</a><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/LetsNotMeet/comments/16libmf/i_was_almost_a_victim_of_a_killer/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/LetsNotMeet/comments/16libmf/i_was_almost_a_victim_of_a_killer/</a> As we move forward, we encounter the eerie recollection of a childhood encounter in the vast woodlands of Australia. Lost in the wilderness, a seemingly innocent encounter with a deer takes a sinister turn, leading to a nightmarish revelation involving bone-chilling transformations and a mysterious figure. Join us as we navigate the dark corners of the Australian woods and confront the inexplicable. Story 2: &#34;I saw something morph in front of me as a child and I think about it everyday since&#34; posted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/NozzaGamingg/" rel="nofollow">u/NozzaGamingg</a><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/BackwoodsCreepy/comments/16xyuei/i_saw_something_morph_in_front_of_me_as_a_child/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/BackwoodsCreepy/comments/16xyuei/i_saw_something_morph_in_front_of_me_as_a_child/</a> The third tale takes an unexpected turn on a desolate road late at night. A seemingly ordinary act of kindness turns into a supernatural encounter when a family, claiming to be stranded, is given a ride by a generous biker.  Story 3: &#34;Accidentally gave lift to spirits!!!&#34; posted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/unicorn_bisss/" rel="nofollow">u/unicorn_bisss</a><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/16y2pnq/accidentally_gave_lift_to_spirits/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/16y2pnq/accidentally_gave_lift_to_spirits/</a> In the fourth story, the unsettling connection between a pair of used hiking boots and a series of nightmarish dreams. A seemingly innocent thrift store find turns into a descent into the realm of the macabre, as the boots become a conduit for horrifying visions that blur the line between reality and the ethereal. Story 4: &#34;I bought used hiking boots that gave me and my husband nightmares&#34; posted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/adameofthrones/" rel="nofollow">u/adameofthrones</a><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/16kt1n9/i_bought_used_hiking_boots_that_gave_me_and_my/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/16kt1n9/i_bought_used_hiking_boots_that_gave_me_and_my/</a> Finally, the narrative takes a familial turn with a man who discovers an uncanny connection between his daughter&#39;s dreams and his own past. The reappearance of a mysterious man in their shared dreams raises questions about the nature of these unsettling visions, leaving both father and daughter haunted by the specter of a man with a dark intent.

S8E8: 5 TRUE Scary Stories (Almost A Victim, Skinwalkers, Phantom Hitchhikers, Haunted Boots, Shared Nightmares)

In the magical world of Disneyland, there are stories that often remain hidden behind the enchantment. Join us in this episode of The Scarecast as we peel back the layers of Disneyland history and explore three intriguing and chilling stories.First, we take you to the heart of Disneyland, to a small apartment above the Firehouse on Main Street. This was Walt Disney&#39;s personal retreat, and even after his passing, his beloved lamp in the apartment&#39;s window has remained lit. But what&#39;s the eerie legend behind this glowing lamp? Then, we shift our focus to Grad Nite, a tradition for high school graduates that has a darker side. In 1966, a young man named Thomas Guy Cleveland embarked on an ill-fated adventure that ended in tragedy on the monorail tracks. His story reveals a side of Disneyland rarely talked about—a side where accidents can turn magical nights into nightmares.But that&#39;s not all; just a year later in 1967, another tragedy occurred on the People Mover ride, where a teenager lost his life attempting a dangerous stunt. The eerie question arises: What are the odds of two eerily similar fatalities occurring on the same ride?Join us for a journey into the unknown, as we uncover the legends, mysteries, and haunting experiences of Disneyland. And don&#39;t forget to follow me on Instagram and TikTok @thescarecast for exclusive content, including a unique experience shared by one of our listeners inside the Firehouse below Walt&#39;s apartment.

On a somber afternoon, I ventured into my email inbox to find a message from a woman named Lindsey Brisbine. In her email, Lindsey recounted a series of bone-chilling encounters within what she claimed to be Ohio&#39;s most haunted residence. In this eerie house, Lindsey had amassed a multitude of inexplicable experiences, leading her to believe that recounting these tales through her podcast, aptly named &#34;The Chilling Podcast,&#34; was the most fitting approach for everyone to hear her experiences in detail. I had the privilege of conversing with Lindsey, who graciously shared with me some of these extraordinary stories. Prior to delving into our discussion, it&#39;s worth noting that Lindsey has been plagued by inexplicable occurrences throughout her life. Yet, it&#39;s her accounts from the little white house in Kent, Ohio, where she lived with several roommates, that have truly captivated the imaginations of many. Her podcast, now boasting 13 episodes in its first season, is a testament to the fascination surrounding these experiences. As of late, Lindsey has unveiled a second season, ensuring that these captivating narratives continue to unfold.
