In this episode of Pumpkin Hill Radio, we uncover the real zombie traditions behind Haitian Vodou, including the famous case of Clairvius Narcisse and the scientific investigation that followed. We explore how folkloric zombies, bokor rituals, and tetrodotoxin legends intersect with ancient resurrection stories from the Bible. We break down Lazarus, Ezekiel’s valley of dry bones, New Testament resurrection accounts, and how cultures worldwide describe the dead rising with purpose. This episode dives deep into anthropology, mythology, theology, and the paranormal to trace the roots of the zombie archetype across belief systems.

Welcome to our Eleventy First Episode!

Across the frozen North, they said the dead never truly sleep. The Norse draugar—corpse revenants—rose from their graves to guard treasure, punish betrayal, or ride the storms headless. In this Haunted Harvest episode, we explore the terrifying roots of the Headless Dead: from Viking burial rituals meant to stop the undead, to the floating entrail spirits of Southeast Asia, the cursed mule of Brazil, and the saints of Europe who walked with their own severed heads.

What connects these myths across continents and centuries? Why does the image of the headless body—or the flying head—haunt so many cultures? We trace the motif through Icelandic sagas, Asian folklore, and Christian miracle tales, revealing how one primal image became both nightmare and revelation.

🜏 Featuring: Norse draugar, nukekubi, penanggalan, cephalophore saints, and modern eyewitness reports from Iceland to Brazil.

We're pulling an episode straight out of the Patreon Dungeon to serve to you while we take a short break here at the Red Temple. This was originally a Patreon Exclusive Released last October, so it fits the spooky season well. Enjoy this feast of blood and high strangeness.

What happens to your soul when your head is attached to someone else's body? Tonight on Pumpkin Hill Radio, we're exploring the unsettling world of head transplants and the metaphysical questions they raise about consciousness, identity, and the human spirit. While mad scientists work on making Frankenstein's monster a reality, we're asking the real questions: Where does consciousness truly reside, and what happens when we blur the lines between one being and another?

Join us for a supernatural journey as Travis shares his recent encounter with Elementals during a camping trip gone strange, while guest host Mitch takes us through his favorite mind-bending body horror films from the 1980s. From ancient mysticism to modern medical mysteries, this episode of Pumpkin Hill Radio dares to ask: are we really just the sum of our parts? Join the Cult of the Star Mother as we venture into territory where science fiction meets spiritual truth.

You might notice this seems out of place during our Haunted Harvest series, well that's because our Scheduled Zombie episode was corrupted (Huanted?) and we will have to rerecord it, so instead we will release this episode we've had on hold as part of our year of Bigfoot. Enjoy, and I promise it gets spooky.

In 1924, five miners in Washington’s Mount St. Helens region claimed they were attacked by a group of enraged Sasquatch. Known today as the Ape Canyon Bigfoot Encounter, the terrifying night of rock-throwing, battering fists, and inhuman screams remains one of the most legendary cryptid stories in North America. We explore the events, the witnesses, and the theories that still haunt Ape Canyon.

What the Hell is Exorcism, really? Join us on this special episode of our Haunted Harvest Series to find some answers. This is some Ancient magic we're talking about here. In 2012, witnesses claimed a young boy in Gary, Indiana walked backwards up a hospital wall. Police, doctors, and social workers fled in terror. Was this mass hysteria—or proof of possession? We dive into the Demon House case, the Ammons family haunting, and the Catholic rites of exorcism used against such forces.
