The Ghosts of Richard Vigorelli | Ep 136

This time I’m joined by Richard Vigorelli—a writer, demonologist, chi worker, and all-around expert in the weird—but we focus mainly on his real-life experiences with ghosts and hauntings, digging into what a “presence” actually feels like, how encounters can escalate, the patterns he’s noticed across different locations, and why some places feel genuinely occupied in a way that goes beyond a simple spooky story. 🎧 Listen now on Patreon (link) and drop your own paranormal experience in the comments.

When we think of Christmas, it’s often with images of cozy fireplaces, sparkling decorations, and the warmth of loved ones. But beneath the surface of Yuletide cheer lies a darker, more mysterious world. A world of ancient traditions, vengeful spirits, and chilling tales whispered through the ages. Tonight, we’re pulling back the tinsel to reveal the unsettling truths hidden within Christmas lore. From sinister figures like Krampus and Frau Perchta to haunted carols and ghostly apparitions, we’ll uncover the macabre side of the holiday season that’s rarely spoken about. So, pour yourself some mulled wine, dim the lights, and prepare to explore the chilling underbelly of Christmas folklore. Because in this episode, the season of joy gets a little… darker.

In this chilling episode of Cryptic Chronicles, I’m joined by my cohost Chillz as we dive deep into one of the most controversial theories surrounding modern history: was the tragic death of Princess Diana more than just a car accident? We explore the idea that her untimely passing might have been orchestrated as an occult sacrifice—a ritualized event loaded with symbolism, secrecy, and hidden agendas. From the eerie location of the crash to the strange numerology and Masonic undertones that some researchers point to, we peel back the layers of conspiracy that refuse to fade with time. Diana was more than just “the people’s princess.” She was a cultural icon, a force of compassion, and—some argue—a threat to powerful institutions. But could her death have been part of something darker, a symbolic act woven into the fabric of esoteric power struggles? Join us as we unpack the occult theories, the political undercurrents, and the haunting coincidences surrounding one of the most shocking tragedies of the 20th century.

From dusty 19th-century newspaper clippings and mound-builder dig notes to strange museum whispers and global folklore, this episode follows the trail of “giant skeletons” said to have surfaced throughout history—and asks whether these tales point to the long shadow of the Nephilim. We sift reports of oversized femurs and megalithic burials, track the biblical threads (Anakim, Rephaim, Watchers), and separate mythmaking, mismeasurements, and hoaxes from the few cases that still refuse to die. Along the way, we map how empire, religion, and early archaeology shaped the legend—and why giants persist in our collective memory like footprints in wet stone.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Welcome back to Cryptic Chronicles. Today, we’re traveling to an unassuming house in a quiet English town that’s been the site of one of the most terrifying and infamous poltergeist hauntings in history: the Black Monk of Pontefract. Known as one of the most violent hauntings ever recorded, this chilling tale unfolds in 30 East Drive, where a dark presence wreaked havoc on a family in the late 1960s. Objects were thrown, chilling shadows appeared, and a menacing figure—believed to be the spirit of a medieval monk—made itself disturbingly known. Was this a case of psychological disturbance, or a powerful and vengeful entity unwilling to let go of its domain?
