  • The Bunny Man
    Apr 6 2026

    From The Sinister District and the Great Beyond! Welcome to our ninth show! First Half: Joining Michael Paul and Mr. Curbs, Wes shares his deep research and personal insights into the Bunny Man case in Fairfax, Virginia. He walks listeners through the events that really happened, including his interviews with the original victims, the Bennetts, and the terrifying night when a man in a bunny costume approached their car, shouted at them, and hurled an axe through the passenger-side window. Wes explains how the true story differs from legend, clarifying that the infamous Bunny Man Bridge had nothing to do with the attack and that the real events took place in a cornfield. He also discusses the role of community memory, local rumors, and Brian A. Conley’s reporting in shaping the myths that persist to this day. Throughout, Wes emphasizes separating fact from exaggeration, giving listeners a clear understanding of the original events while exploring the mystery surrounding the attacker’s identity. Second Half: Michael Paul and Mr. Curbs then dive into the local folklore and cultural impact of the Bunny Man legend. Wes talks about the stories told at places like Bunnyman Brewing, the chilling details that caused some locals to move away, and the ongoing fascination with the case in popular culture. The conversation examines how urban legends form, why certain details get amplified over time, and what makes the Bunny Man such a lasting and mysterious figure. Wes guides through a detailed exploration of the case, blending historical fact, eyewitness accounts, and the eerie allure of one of America’s most famous urban legends.

  • Alien Encounter / UFO Sighting
    Mar 9 2026

    From The Sinister District and the Great Beyond! Welcome to our seventh show! First Half: Joining Michael Paul & Mr. Curbs, Spock recalls growing up with a constant feeling of being watched, focusing on one night at age 15 while living in Connecticut. He describes waking up in his dark bedroom to moonlight filtering through the blinds, only to find himself completely paralyzed. At the foot of his bed, a tall, hunched humanoid figure silently observed him, its shiny brown, speckled skin, large head, and oversized eyes unmistakable. The terrifying encounter left Spock in shock, and his memory of the events afterward became unclear, marking the start of a series of strange experiences in his life. Second Half: Michael Paul and Mr. Curbs explore the aftermath of Spock’s encounter, discussing how it connects to later unexplained events, including animals seemingly responding to his requests and sightings of a glowing orange object in the sky moving erratically before shooting overhead and disappearing. Footage he captured of the phenomenon appeared ruined and static. Together, the hosts analyze possible extraterrestrial explanations, the significance of these unusual animal interactions, and whether the glowing object could indicate advanced technology or a UFO presence, as they attempt to piece together what truly happened during Spock’s chilling experience.
