Let's Get Haunted

**SKIP TO 34:47 TO HEAR THE STORY**

Welcome to Episode 266 of Let’s Get Haunted!

There are places you're told never to follow the music.

Across Ireland, Scotland, Appalachia, Newfoundland, and beyond, people have reported the same impossible experience for centuries: a fiddle playing deep in the woods, laughter echoing from an empty hillside, a dance hall where no building should stand. Those who followed often found themselves welcomed into a celebration that seemed perfectly ordinary... until they tried to leave.

Some returned to discover years had passed, while others claimed the building had vanished by morning. The oldest legends tell of people who were never seen again, spirited away into the beyond.

This week, we're diving into the eerie history of phantom social clubs, fairy revels, ghost dances, vanished taverns, and impossible parties that blur the line between folklore and reality. Are these just cautionary tales and shared psychological experiences? Or have humans been stumbling into the same hidden gatherings for centuries under different names???

Grab your flashlight, ignore the music, and let's get haunted.

Welcome to Episode 265: Japan’s Mysterious Rock Ship, “Masuda Iwafune”. On today’s episode of Let’s Get Haunted, we journey to Japan’s ancient Asuka region to investigate the Masuda Iwafune: an enormous 700- to 800-ton granite monument whose purpose has baffled archaeologists for centuries. We explore the leading theories surrounding the so-called “Rock Ship of Masuda,” from unfinished royal tombs and astronomical observatories to water engineering projects and ritual monuments. Then, we venture into stranger territory, examining connections to Japanese legends of heavenly stone boats, the mysterious Utsuro-bune encounter, and ancient astronaut speculation. We even interviewed a tourist, Eddie, who hiked to the megalith and saw it firsthand! More than 1,300 years after it was carved into a hillside overlooking Nara Prefecture, the Masuda Iwafune remains one of Japan’s greatest unsolved archaeological mysteries.

We're excited to introduce a special episode of That's Pretty Dark, featuring two of our favorite podcasters, Em and Christine from And That's Why We Drink.

Sleepwalking parents, Japanese folklore, and viral marketing campaigns… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark!

Join ‘90s kids Kayln and Christian (and two of their podcastin’ heroes) as they turn up the horror dial with a millennial classic that shaped the genre as we now know it.

Joined by Em and Christine from And That's Why We Drink, Em brings the FASCINATING history of chain letters, while Christine shares childhood nightmares that prevent her from watching horror movies to this day, and your Ghost Hosts guide you through the film’s production history and cyclical Japanese ghost stories that inspired it.

Though it wasn’t made for children, many of us caught The Ring early in life…. and if you want to heal that “TV trauma,” listen and forward this episode to 10 friends!

*Welcome to Episode 264 of Let’s Get Haunted! 

TW: This episode will feature murder, abuse, torture, SA, and descriptions of mental illness which some listeners may find disturbing, listener discretion is advised. 

In 1991, the world wide web became readily available for public access. The internet was born. The net was a concept on a scale of which nobody could fathom… it was supposed to make the world feel smaller, more connected, more available. Instead, it created places no one can fully map. Hidden beneath the websites we scroll every day is another layer. Anonymous marketplaces. Cult forums. Hitman scams. Missing people. Government leaks. Red rooms that may or may not exist. A digital underworld built on secrecy, paranoia, and fear.

Today on LGH, we’re descending into the dark web– The myths, the crimes, and the psychological horror of a space where identity dissolves and curiosity can become dangerous very quickly.

So dim your screen, lock your doors, and maybe don’t click any strange links after this episode.
