Destination Terror

Japan's most infamous lawless village was never on any map, but a real Inunaki Village once stood in the same valley, and now it sleeps beneath a reservoir. This week on Destination Terror, we travel to Miyawaka, Fukuoka, to the sealed Old Inunaki Tunnel, the legend of the Howling Village, and the telephone said to ring from the lakebed. Then, in an original horror story, a dam technician learns what the dogs are really howling. #DestinationTerror #InunakiVillage #HowlingVillage #HauntedJapan #JapaneseUrbanLegends #InunakiTunnel #HauntedPlaces #ScaryStories #Eeriecast #HorrorPodcast EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales.

On a quiet road in County Roscommon, Ireland, a low hump of stone hides a crawl-space entrance into the dark. Locals call it the Cave of the Cats, and according to ancient tradition, it is where Samhain, and maybe Halloween itself, was born. This Halloween week on Destination Terror, we visit Oweynagat, the so-called Gate to Hell at Rathcroghan, the legendary seat of Queen Medb. In tonight's original story, a woman inherits a farm beside the cave and is given four rules for the last night of October. Shut the gate. Leave a bowl of water on the sill. Stay out of the back field. And whatever you do, do not count the flock. Then we step out of the story to explore the real history behind the legends: the Morrígan's chariot, the pigs that multiplied when counted, birds with poisoned breath, and the tale of Nera, who followed an army into the Otherworld on Samhain night. Turn down the lights, and make sure your door is locked. #DestinationTerror #Oweynagat #CaveOfTheCats #Samhain #Halloween #IrishFolklore #CelticMythology #Rathcroghan #GateToHell #Morrigan #HauntedPlaces #HorrorPodcast #Eeriecast EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales.

Deep in the East Tennessee mountains, Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary was built from the Coal Creek War and the end of convict leasing. For 113 years, men were sent to the end of the line to dig coal inside a mountain that kept most of its secrets. Today the prison is a historic site, and visitors and paranormal investigators report shadow figures, whispering voices, and freezing cold spots in the halls. In this episode of Destination Terror, a father searching for his missing four-year-old daughter follows her tiny footprints to the prison gate and finds it open. We also dig into the real history of Brushy Mountain, from the mines and the overcrowded cell blocks to James Earl Ray's famous 1977 escape and the hauntings people still talk about. The story is original fiction inspired by the location. The history and reported hauntings are real. Until next time, stay safe out there, until we meet at our next destination. #DestinationTerror #BrushyMountain #HauntedPrison #HauntedTennessee #TennesseeGhosts #HauntedPlaces #ParanormalPodcast #HorrorPodcast #GhostStories #ScaryStories #HauntedHistory #Eeriecast EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales.

Desperation, Nevada – a dying copper town on the loneliest road in America, where the tables are still set, the coffee is still hot, and nobody has been home in years. Stephen King's fictional mining town is the destination this week, and the silence there is listening. https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror #Desperation #StephenKing #Tak #Highway50 #Nevada #HorrorFiction #GhostTown #FictionalHaunting #DestinationTerror #Eeriecast EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales.

On September 12, 1952, a glowing object dropped from the sky over Flatwoods, West Virginia. A group of boys, a mother, a young National Guardsman and a dog climbed the hill to look. They ran back down describing a ten-foot figure with a blood-red face, a pointed hood and glowing eyes, gliding toward them out of a foul mist. Was it a visitor from another world, or a startled barn owl having a very bad night? In this episode of Destination Terror, we visit the Braxton County hills to dig into the witnesses, the investigators and the skeptics behind the Flatwoods Monster. Our story tonight is a work of fiction inspired by the legend. It deals with a marriage falling apart, a man with a drinking problem, and a very bad night to be out in the woods. Listener discretion is advised. #DestinationTerror #FlatwoodsMonster #FlatwoodsWestVirginia #BraxtonCounty #WestVirginia #Cryptid #UFO #Paranormal #HauntedPlaces #ScaryPodcast #Eeriecast #HorrorPodcast #AppalachianFolklore #MothmanCountry #CarmanCarrion EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales.

High in the hills east of the Sierra Nevada sits Bodie, California. It was once one of the most lawless gold rush boomtowns in the West, and today it's the most famous ghost town in America. Its buildings stand frozen in time, with dishes still on the tables and goods still on the shelves. The town has one rule: take nothing. Visitors who pocketed a nail, a shard of glass or even a pebble have reported illness, accidents and a run of bad luck, and every week the park receives apology letters with the stolen items rattling inside. On this episode of Destination Terror, Carman Carrion tells an original story about a woman who took one rusty nail from a lonely shack and learned what it was really worth. Then we get into the true history of Bodie: its violent boom years, the fires that nearly wiped it out, the haunted J.S. Cain House, the Angel of Bodie, and where the Bodie Curse really came from. Look all you want. Just leave Bodie in Bodie.   #DestinationTerror #Bodie #BodieCurse #BodieCalifornia #GhostTown #HauntedPlaces #HauntedCalifornia #CursedObjects #GhostStories #Paranormal #WildWest #GoldRush #HauntedHistory #TrueHaunting #HorrorPodcast #ParanormalPodcast #Eeriecast #CarmanCarrion #CreepyStories #AmericanGhostTowns   EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales.

For over 600 years, monks climbed 600 hand-cut stone steps to live in total isolation on a jagged rock in the Atlantic — hunting God at the edge of the world. Then, without a single written explanation, they vanished. Tonight we climb Skellig Michael's stairway into a storm, a missing brother, and a wordless song rising up from the sea that the monastery was never meant to hear. Real history, real deaths, and a mystery no historian has ever solved.   #DestinationTerror #SkelligMichael #HauntedIreland #TrueHorrorHistory #HorrorPodcast #TruecrimeCommunity #HorrorStories #ParanormalPodcast #DarkHistory #HauntedPlaces #IrishFolklore #GothicHorror #CrimeJunkiePodcast #HorrorFanatics #TrueCrimePodcast #HauntedTravel #EerieCastNetwork #SpookyStories #FolkHorror #AtmosphericHorror   EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales.

Deep in Chile's Atacama Desert — the driest place on Earth — sits the abandoned ruins of La Noria, a saltpeter mining town founded in 1826 and left to rot when the industry collapsed. What remains is a roofless church, a cemetery of thousands of cracked and leaning crosses, and a legend locals repeat without hesitation: the dead of La Noria don't stay buried after dark.   This episode, we trace the town's brutal real history — forced labor, child death, and a burial ground the desert keeps trying to give back — alongside the story of a woman who came looking for one name in a hundred-year-old company ledger, and heard something answer her instead.   If you hear the bell, don't go looking for it.   🔔 #DestinationTerror #LaNoria #Chile #GhostTown #AtacamaDesert #Haunted #HauntedHistory #TrueHorror #ParanormalPodcast #HorrorPodcast #GhostStories #AbandonedPlaces #Cryptid #DarkHistory #SaltpeterTowns #Humberstone #HorrorCommunity #TruePlacesTrueFear   EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales.

Something seven feet tall has been walking out of the Arkansas swamp for over a hundred years. It leaves footprints with only three toes. It's been shot at more times than anyone can count — and it always comes back. This is the Fouke Monster.   Deep in the Sulphur River bottoms of southwest Arkansas, the little town of Fouke shares its backyard with the Beast of Boggy Creek — the three-toed, red-eyed swamp Bigfoot that terrorized the Ford family in 1971, inspired the cult classic film The Legend of Boggy Creek, and still gets called in to the county sheriff to this day. Host Carman Carrion — an Arkansas native — takes you down to the bottoms for the full story: the decades of sightings, the night it all went national, and an original tale of one man who went into that swamp after dark and came back marked forever.   Keep your headlights on. Watch your treeline. And whatever you do — leave it be.   #FoukeMonster #BoggyCreek #Cryptid #Bigfoot #Sasquatch #Arkansas #SwampMonster #LegendOfBoggyCreek #TrueHorror #Paranormal #ScaryStories #HorrorPodcast #Folklore #Unexplained #Cryptids #DestinationTerror   EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror ________________________________________ SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion ________________________________________ CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ ________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales. ________________________________________ DISCOVER MORE HORROR: http://eeriecast.com/ https://www.carman-carrion.com/ ________________________________________ MUSIC CREDITS: Music and sound effects provided by: ElevenLabs Learn more about your ad choices.

Deep in the most heavily forested county in Ohio, a brick tunnel stands alone in the woods with a dead town's name still carved above it — and a lantern that swings in the dark for trains that stopped running decades ago. This is the true history of the Moonville Tunnel, the ghosts of the vanished coal town that surround it, and the operating order a real railroad reportedly issued in 1981 telling engineers to look right at the phantom light and pretend it wasn't there.   Then stay for an original horror story set inside the tunnel — because the legend has one thing backwards about what that lantern is really trying to do.   🚂 Featured location: Moonville Tunnel, Vinton County, Ohio (Zaleski State Forest) 👻 The Brakeman • The Engineer • The Lavender Lady • The Bully   New to Destination Terror? We visit the real places on the map you'd cross the street to avoid — true history in one hand, an original tale of terror in the other. Subscribe and keep a light on. Nothing that swings.   ⚠️ The story in this episode is a work of fiction.
