His Dad Converted Old VHS Tapes To DVD. He Wishes He Never Watched Them | Creepypasta Horror

When a man saw something lurking in New Orleans City Park in 2010, he had no idea the natives who lived there centuries ago had described the exact same creature.IN THIS EPISODE: The creature had dark or black skin covered in masses of “skin or fins” that looked like algae growing all over its body.  It seemed to have gills or matted hair that looked like gills on its face and head; two yellow eyes leered out from under a prominent forehead.  That’s the description one witness had for the thing in City Park, New Orleans. (The City Park Thing) *** Anyone who knew the little family before that July day would say that one thing was certain, Vernon Plager loved his wife and daughter more than anything.  But then Paul Reed moved to the neighborhood, and it led to more than just a broken marriage… it led to murder. (Wrapped in Ivy) *** The moose is said to be a ghostly white and a giant of stature and weight, antlers bigger than any other moose ever seen. Considered a harbinger of doom, it was first reported in 1891… but has been seen as recently as 2002. Could this giant, ghostly moose at Lobster Lake, North Dakota actually have existed – or still exist? (The Specter Moose of Lobster Lake) *** For the citizens of Brabant Province, Belgium, the era of the Brabant Killers, left behind traumatic wounds that have never really healed. Making matters worse is the fact that the killers were never brought to justice.

His mother was murdered when he was just a baby — too young to remember anything. A simple trip home to visit his parents takes a dark turn when watching old home movies with his dad triggers vivid nightmares. The more he dreams, the more he remembers; the more he remembers, the more he wishes he wouldn’t. Some horrors should remain forgotten. IN THIS EPISODE: It’s a long story (almost three full hours), but definitely worth the time spent soaking it in.

Before the famous footprints, before the Patterson film, there were centuries of Sasquatch encounters across America. Wild men in the woods, miners under siege, and paranormal beings that defy explanation — these are the Bigfoot stories most people have never heard.IN THIS EPISODE: It all started with a bunch of footprints at a construction site. Or at least the modern-day fascination with “Bigfoot” did. Stories of hairy giants in the woods and wandering “wild men” had been a part of American lore for nearly two centuries by the time the nickname “Bigfoot” was coined in the late 1950s. But it was then, with the advent of television and the modern media, that chasing down giants in the woods became a national craze. SOURCES:Taken from the book, "Cabinet of Curiosities" by Troy Taylor: https://amzn.to/3EMhYRzWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. =====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
