Howdy, campers!

In this spine-chilling episode, we delve into the eerie phenomenon of the Dark Watchers and the Night Marchers. Imagine being alone in the dead of night, sensing an ominous presence, and hearing the distant sounds of drums and chants. These tales, rooted in Native American and Hawaiian lore, explore the mysterious entities that haunt the shadows.

We begin with the enigmatic Dark Watchers of California's Santa Lucia Mountains. These towering shadowy figures, often seen at dusk or dawn, have been part of local legends for centuries. From Native American oral traditions to Spanish settlers' accounts, and even immortalized in the works of John Steinbeck and Robinson Jeffers, the Dark Watchers continue to mystify those who encounter them. Are they mere optical illusions, or something far more sinister?

Next, we journey to Hawaii to uncover the legend of the Night Marchers. These spectral warriors, said to be the spirits of ancient Hawaiian chiefs and warriors, march through the night, heralded by the sounds of conch shells and war drums. Those who encounter them must show proper respect to avoid a violent death. Are they guardians of ancient traditions, or something even more otherworldly?

Join your camp counselors, Tyler Bence and Woody Brown, as they share spine-tingling stories, dissect various theories, and try to unravel the mysteries of these shadowy entities. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this episode is packed with eerie tales and thought-provoking insights that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Howdy, campers!

In this spine-chilling episode, we dive deep into the eerie and unsettling world of the Hat Man. Following our previous discussions on the Shadow Man and sleep paralysis, we explore how the Hat Man stands out as a unique and menacing entity. Imagine waking up in the dead of night, feeling an ominous presence, and seeing a tall, shadowy figure with a wide-brimmed hat in the corner of your room. This is the Hat Man, a figure that has haunted people across cultures and continents for centuries.

We delve into various encounters with the Hat Man, from personal experiences to historical accounts, and discuss the possible connections between the Hat Man and other paranormal phenomena like the Men in Black. Could the Hat Man be a demon, a time traveler, an interdimensional being, or a manifestation of our collective subconscious? We explore all these theories and more.

We also touch on the modern phenomenon of the "Benadryl Hat Man," where people report seeing the Hat Man after over consuming Benadryl. This intersection of folklore and real-life science adds another layer of mystery to the Hat Man's legend.

Join us as we share spine-tingling stories, dissect various theories, and try to unravel the mystery of the Hat Man. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this episode is packed with eerie tales and thought-provoking insights that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Have you ever woken up in the dead of night, unable to move, with an overwhelming sense of dread? You're not alone. This week on That Would Be Rad, we dive deep into the eerie world of sleep paralysis. Join your hosts, Tyler Bence and Woody Brown, as they explore the science, psychology, and global folklore behind this terrifying experience.

From the scientific breakdown of what happens in your brain during sleep paralysis to the psychological implications of this phenomenon, we cover it all. Learn about the types of hallucinations people experience, such as the sense of an evil presence (Intruder Hallucination), feeling pressure on the chest (Incubus Hallucination), and sensations of movement (Vestibular-Motor Hallucination).

We also delve into the origins of sleep paralysis from around the world, uncovering fascinating folklore such as the Old Hag in the United States, Kanashibari in Japan, the Devil on Your Back in Nigeria, Mara in Iceland, and Ghost Oppression in China.

To add to the mystery, we take a deep dive into the unexplained deaths of Hmong refugees in the 1980s, where otherwise healthy men died in their sleep, leading to theories about sleep paralysis and supernatural forces.

Tune in for a captivating journey through the shadows of the night. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this episode is packed with spine-chilling stories and mind-bending theories that will leave you questioning the boundaries of reality.
