Bob After Dark

Did you know its Count Panek's birthday?! In celebration, we wanted to look at a vampire story. Now, there is vampire myths all across the world in some capacity. So, how do we narrow it down? Well, we picked the story of Abhartach out of Ireland. He was not only a vampire, but a warlock. He also ruled the land with an iron fist.

A strange request we get often to do subjects on are haunted transportation objects. Haunted cars, trains, and yes...even ships. How can a vehicle be haunted? Digging into some research, come to find out ghost ships are a reported phenomena. Not only are there reports, but the term ghost ship can be used as something very real...and very scary. Imagine you're out on the water doing some fishing. When all of a sudden a ship that looks like it's in distress wading toward you. You prep to get closer, and you see...everyone on the ship is gone. No living thing on the ship. What happened? Well we look at a few stories this episode curtesy of Dock Life ( https://www.dockwalk.com/news/spooky-ghost-ship-stories?fbclid=IwAR17uhgQm72vc-7AZGayZDQ8OhFmPMgrKLOoJIrTPmBUABCmquUVjoKQMRE ) . Including The Flying Dutchman, Baychimo, Octavius, and the scariest one of them all...Mary Celeste.

It's never easy to say goodbye to someone. Especially with that someone being Bob's father. However, we had to honor him the best way we could. You see, Bob Anderson SR was two things: An avid Chicago White Sox fan, and a proud Polish man. Until the White Sox Organization comes out and says that Guaranteed Low Rates Field is haunted, then we have to look across the globe to find the best way to honor dad. Welcome to Poland, home of the fateful story of the Polish Disco Demon that we refer to from time-to-time. However, in this case we look at few creatures of Poland Lore. We talk about the The Wawel Dragon, The Lublin Serpent, The Treasurer, The Sea Bishop, The Golden Duck, and finally The Basilisk. Learn this history of Bob's people and creatures of lore.

It's with heavy hearts that Bob explains his sudden disappearance from the show. However, the Bob After Dark is back! This was a quickie just so the ball could start rolling again, and a podcast exclusive. Meet the Fjorulalli aka The Shore Laddie aka Beach Walker. This a strange sheep loving cryptid that terrorizes Ice Land.

Go to sleep. That's the last words you will hear if you're being stalked by the entity known as Jeff the Killer. A victim of bullying , and turned killer. This is one the most popular creepypasta characters.

First off, wow! Look at that episode number! We made it episode 100. What a straight up wild ride. We are beyond blessed to have you, the listeners, here for us to entertain you. It is never easy to create something on a consistent schedule. So, we are proud to bring this to you. Also, did you notice what we are talking about? Well, this a sequel to our most popular episode we have ever put out. Sonic.Exe. We are kicking off Creepy Pasta Month a little early this year to celebrate episode with episode 100. You all love the first reading, so here is the second. For whatever reason, folks really enjoyed the concept of the blue Sega hedgehog becoming an evil force to do battle with some kids. The sequel to Sonic.Exe is a bit different. Instead of dealing with the worst heroes in fiction, this time we have a story about a cop and a cult. Enjoy!

Ever hear of Small Town Monsters? If you haven't...you're really missing out. Meet Seth and Heather, two of the front faces for the paranormal documentary series, "Small Town Monsters." They are taking the world of the supernatural by storm. With their hits, "The Mark of the Bell Witch", "Terror in the Skies", and "On the Trail of the Lake Michigan Mothman." The later having a cameo starring yours truly. These are just a handful of their movies involving creatures of the night. During this show you will learn the history of the production company and its stars, and enjoy a laugh or six as well.

You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. That was a famous line uttered by Laurence Fishburne's character Morpheous in The Matrix films. This past week, Matrix Resurrections came out, and you maybe wondering why we are talking about this on Bob After Dark. We are not a movie podcast you maybe thinking. Well, you thought right. However, there is a concept that we are living in a simulation. It's border line conspiracy theory, but an interesting idea. Is the world around us real? Are we all dreaming and being controlled by some cosmic force? Well, we look at stories this week trying to make sense of this. Reality bending puzzling ideas. Is this the answer to the paranormal we discuss on the regular?

Despite Bob's better judgment, here we are. Talking about giant black cat that eats you if you don't get new clothes around the holiday season. To appease Count Panek this year, Bob dives back into Christmas and other Holiday Creatures lore. You know Yule Cat, and Krampus. You know Frau Perchta and La Befana. However, do you know about Hans Trapp, the Christmas killer scarecrow? How about Grýla? She was the beast who owns the Yule Cat and mothers the Yule Lads. These are not the Christmas stories we are taught as children. Also, there maybe some Krampus mentioned here as well.
