Weirder After Dark

In this episode of Weirder After Dark, we dive deep into the chilling lore of The Golden Eagle! A custom car from Maine that is accused of being cursed, dangerous, and maybe even alive. This car murders with lightening, crushes people in the seat of its car, and when it gets bored can even just run people over the old fashion way.But how much of this legend is real?We break down the documented history, the rumors that spiraled out of control, and the haunting account of Wendy Christine Allen, who claims the truth behind the car has been misunderstood for decades. Along the way, we explore the uncanny parallels between The Golden Eagle and Stephen King’s Christine and ask the uncomfortable question: did Maine’s haunted car help inspire one of horror’s most infamous stories?Contact Us: [email protected]: Reddit | Facebook | Instagram @WeirderAfterDark

Deep in the woods of rural Maine, the Martin family thought they were settling in for a quiet weekend at their remote cabin… until something started circling the tree line. In this episode, we dig into one of Maine’s strangest modern legends: the Skinwalker-like entity said to stalk the northern forests. From unsettling mimicry to a night of terror the Martins will never forget, we break down the events, the lore, and why locals still refuse to go near that stretch of woods after dark.Contact Us: [email protected]: Reddit | Facebook | Instagram @WeirderAfterDark

We’re off this week for Thanksgiving, but the weird doesn’t take holidays. So we’re sharing a crossover episode we did with Paranormal Directive 13, where Matt walked us through the bizarre case of the Winsted Wildman, Connecticut’s very own 19th-century cryptid.Eyewitnesses claimed it was massive. Human-shaped. Covered in hair. And fast enough to vanish into the trees before anyone could get a good look.Bundle up. This wild thing still prowls the edges of New England folklore.Hear more stories from Matt by checking out his podcast Paranormal Directive 13, wherever you listen to your podcasts!

Tonight, we’re heading to one of New England’s most infamous stretches of asphalt,one that once ranked the scariest road in Massachusetts. Route 44, between Seekonk and Taunton, where drivers swear they’ve encountered a ghost that doesn’t just appear, he asks for a ride.For decades, people have reported the exact same figure: a red-headed hitchhiker with a twisted smile, a voice that crackles through radios, and a habit of showing up in the backseat when you least expect it.We’re breaking down the history, the timeline, the earliest written mentions, and the stories that turned this phantom hitchhiker into one of New England’s most chilling roadside legends.Contact Us: [email protected]: Instagram | Facebook | Reddit @ WeirderAfterDarkLike Candles?
