Get the spooky thrills you crave with these terrifying stories of the unexplained, collected from ordinary people around the world.

Unexplained Encounters is the number one podcast on the popular horror podcast network Eeriecast, created by spooky storyteller extraordinaire Darkness Prevails. The podcast features allegedly real accounts of the unexplained, from ghost stories to mysterious creatures to supernatural encounters and beyond.

In Phantom Phenomena, take a deeper, more detailed dive into specific encounters with stories that include:

  • A werewolf stalking an isolated farm in central Sweden ("The Werewolf of the Pig Farm")
  • One man saved from a gruesome traffic accident by a ghostly saviour ("The Ghost on I-4")
  • Opening the door to a trick-or-treater playing a harmless trick...or is it? ("Never Open Your Door for the Late Trick-or-Treater")
  • A narrow escape from a terrifying cryptid prowling the Scottish Highlands ("Hiding from a Highland Monster")
  • Four friends encountering a town seemingly caught in between this world and the next ("Shirley, Wisconsin")
  • A drifter's experience happening upon an old, abandoned gas station ("The Old Gas Station")
  • One man's childhood memory of a home, a mirror, and a haunting ("Superstition or Reality?")
  • And many more!

Each eerie story is accompanied by spine-tingling illustrated art that goes beyond ordinary, expected depictions of ghosts, monsters, and night terrors, as well as fact boxes that provide more information on the creepy creatures and ghastly ghosts encountered.

Discover the supernatural lurking all around you as you read these tales of horror...if you dare.

About the Author

Darkness Prevails, author ofΒ Freaky Folklore, is a spooky storyteller extraordinaire hailing from the Ozarks of Arkansas. When he's not busy spinning yarns about things that go bump in the night on Eeriecast: The Horror Podcast Network or on his wildly successful YouTube channel, Darkness Prevails, he can often be found wandering through the misty woods, searching for evidence of Bigfoot (or at least an excuse to use his night-vision goggles).Despite his fascination with the unknown, Darkness Prevails is also a devoted family man. He is the proud father ofΒ two terrors-in-training. His wife, who may or may not be a vampire, supports his creepy pursuits and even helps him research his latest hair-raising tales.With a love for all things spooky and a knack for making even the bravest of souls quiver in their boots, Darkness Prevails is a force to be reckoned with in the horror genre. So, turn off the lights, grab a flashlight, and get ready for a frightfully good time.
