IN THIS EPISODE: A creepy true story from Weirdo family member Courtney Rondeau. (It Was The Light That Woke Me) *** The Wendigo. It appears in numerous areas of pop culture, like the TV shows \u201cSupernatural\u201d and \u201cThe X Files\u201d, the movie \u201cRavenous\u201d, and games such as \u201cDungeons and Dragons\u201d, along with video games like \u201cFinal Fantasy\u201d and \u201cUntil Dawn\u201d. But the Wendigo isn\u2019t just a creature from someone\u2019s imagination.(Wendigo) *** \u2028I\u2019lll share a collection of some of the creepiest, most unexplainable nightmare stories, collected from a handful of Reddit users whose friends and family either mostly or completely dismiss as fantasy, and nobody would believe. At times these creepy stories sound too bizarre to be real, but every last person swears it really happened. (Why Won\u2019t Anyone Believe Me?) *** You\u2019ve heard of the gunfight at the O.K Corral \u2013 but that was just men vs men. To get really exciting you need true stories of gunfights between men and extraterrestrials! (Alien Gun Fights) *** On Ocracoke Island is a small channel of water known as Teach's Hole, named after Edward Teach and where it is said he met his end \u2013 and his ghost still lingers. If Edward Teach doesn\u2019t sound familiar to you, it could be that you know him better as Blackbeard. (Blackbeard\u2019s Ghost) *** First, I\u2019ll share five stories of real-life horrors, reported by men on the battlefield. Not about the horrors of war, but about the supernatural monsters they found within it. (Horrors In Battle, Monsters In War)
