IN THIS EPISODE: A creepy true story from Weirdo family member Courtney Rondeau. (It Was The Light That Woke Me) *** The Wendigo. It appears in numerous areas of pop culture, like the TV shows “Supernatural” and “The X Files”, the movie “Ravenous”, and games such as “Dungeons and Dragons”, along with video games like “Final Fantasy” and “Until Dawn”. But the Wendigo isn’t just a creature from someone’s imagination.(Wendigo) *** 
I’lll share a collection of some of the creepiest, most unexplainable nightmare stories, collected from a handful of Reddit users whose friends and family either mostly or completely dismiss as fantasy, and nobody would believe. At times these creepy stories sound too bizarre to be real, but every last person swears it really happened. (Why Won’t Anyone Believe Me?) *** You’ve heard of the gunfight at the O.K Corral – but that was just men vs men. To get really exciting you need true stories of gunfights between men and extraterrestrials! (Alien Gun Fights) *** On Ocracoke Island is a small channel of water known as Teach's Hole, named after Edward Teach and where it is said he met his end – and his ghost still lingers. If Edward Teach doesn’t sound familiar to you, it could be that you know him better as Blackbeard. (Blackbeard’s Ghost) *** First, I’ll share five stories of real-life horrors, reported by men on the battlefield. Not about the horrors of war, but about the supernatural monsters they found within it.
