  • Haunted Airbnb in Death Valley: The Miner Ghost

    Haunted Airbnb in Death Valley: The Miner Ghost
    Oct 31 2026
    A grizzled miner ghost peeks around the fridge of a haunted Airbnb near Death Valley, and the owner locked eyes with him for seven long seconds. In partnership with Airbnb, host Aaron Sagers travels to Beatty, Nevada, the “Gateway to Death Valley,” to stay in a “miner chic” cabin built from three miners’ shacks hauled down from the ghost town of Rhyolite around 1925. Owner Derek Stonebarger shares his encounter with the bearded miner who never checked out, and the whiskey he still pours for him. Aaron leaves his recorder running in the empty house. Did it catch something moving inside?Then the ghost stories keep coming at locations where Ghost Adventures filmed for an episode airing later this season. The Sourdough Saloon, where bartender Hutch and cook Tim share tales of the Shadow Man, an unnerving back room, and a man who shows up only in the window’s reflection. The Exchange Club, a labyrinth of a 1906 landmark, where Danny the electrician hears men and women talking outside his door when no one else is in the building. Plus a detour into Roswell lore and strange lights over the Nevada desert. Rhyolite ghost town, with historian and “unofficial mayor” Karl Olson, where Aaron hears voices near Millionaire’s Row with no one in sight. A creepy church tied to Charles Manson lore, and the eerie silence of Death Valley’s Mosaic Canyon, where a raven became Aaron’s trail guide. Book a visit to Death Valley's Haunted Miner Cabin Airbnb to see for yourself if the grizzled old miner shares a drink with you. _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.

  • Spooked’s Glynn Washington: A Field Guide To Shadow Guests & Goblins

    Spooked’s Glynn Washington: A Field Guide To Shadow Guests & Goblins
    Oct 29 2026
    Goblins crawling out of flooded Appalachian mine shafts. A shadow guest who comes in the night. A close encounter older than the Bible. Glynn Washington, creator and host of Spooked and Snap Judgment, joins Aaron Sagers to dig into Season 11 of Spooked, “The Spooked Field Guide to the Shadow.”Glynn breaks down why it takes about six months to make a single Spooked episode, why the show tracks down more than one witness for its biggest mysteries, and how his team earns the trust of communities — including Native communities — before a story ever reaches your ears. He also opens up about how more than 250 episodes have made him “more ignorant” about the unknown (in the best way), why he loves a good liar, the funeral in Detroit where he swears he heard his late auntie laughing, the complicated history of the word “spooked,” and why you can’t talk about good and evil without looking at the real-world monsters outside your door.Plus: Snap Judgment and KQED’s investigative series "We Are Jane Doe," the launch of Spooked+, and a tease of a Close Encounter with an extraterrestrial. _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.

  • Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film A Hoax?!

    Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film A Hoax?!
    Oct 22 2026
    Was the most famous Bigfoot footage ever filmed a hoax? Or are the findings about so-called mystery footage debunking the Patterson Gimlin Film based on circumstantial evidence and logical leaps? "Capturing Bigfoot" director Marq Evans and producer Tamir Ardon join Talking Strange host Aaron Sagers (in an interview conducted March 2026) to defend their bombshell documentary and its mystery “test run” footage.On October 20, 1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin filmed a towering, hairy figure striding through Bluff Creek, California. Their footage has been analyzed, debated and defended for nearly 60 years. Now "Capturing Bigfoot," streaming on Prime Video, claims a 16mm reel found locked in a safe shows a 1966 rehearsal with a man in a suit, and that it proves the legendary film was staged.What do you think about the famous Patterson Gimlin Film, and are you convinced by the findings of "Capturing Bigfoot"? _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.

  • Halloween's Pop Culture History in America

    Halloween's Pop Culture History in America
    Oct 18 2026
    Everyone knows Halloween has ancient roots in Samhain. But the Halloween we actually celebrate — with orange and black decorations, trick-or-treating, store-bought masks and horror movie marathons — is far younger than you think. On this episode of Talking Strange, the paranormal pop culture show, host Aaron Sagers traces how the modern version of America’s spookiest holiday was invented by magazine editors, paper companies, mask makers and filmmakers.Discover why Halloween’s official colors were once brown, yellow and white; when “trick or treat” first appeared in print; how a Jazz Age paper company dressed the holiday in crepe paper; and how a rubber Frankenstein mask kicked off the monster boom, and why Hollywood waited decades to make Halloween the star.Sources: Lisa Morton, Trick or Treat: A History of Halloween David J.

  • Atlantic Isles Hallowtide: Irish & English Halloween Traditions

    Atlantic Isles Hallowtide: Irish & English Halloween Traditions
    Oct 9 2026
    Halloween and Samhain traditions are real, and you can still visit them this year. Host Aaron Sagers invites you along for a Hallowtide road trip across England, Ireland and the Isle of Man.In England, children in Somerset carry turnip lanterns on Punkie Night. In Cheshire pubs, a century-old horse skull named Dick snaps at the crowd during the Antrobus Soul Cakers' play for All Souls'. Lewes marches 17 burning crosses through town on Bonfire Night, and in Ottery St Mary locals run through the streets with flaming tar barrels on their backs. In Ireland, we climb the Hill of Ward, called Tlachtga, where legend says Samhain's sacred fire was lit, and see what archaeologists have actually found there. Then we crawl into Oweynagat, the "Cave of the Cats," known as Ireland's gate to hell. We finish with Derry's Halloween festival, the biggest in Europe, and Hop-tu-Naa, the Isle of Man's oldest unbroken tradition, complete with witch songs and fortune-telling in the hearth ashes.

    Halloween Horror Nights 2026 Houses Ranked: HHN 35 at Universal Orlando
    Sep 26 2026
    Every haunted house at Halloween Horror Nights 2026, ranked from worst to best. Host (and HHN superfan) Aaron Sagers takes on HHN 35 at Universal Orlando Resort. He ranks all 10 houses: Stranger Things 5, Sinners, Hellraiser, Evil Dead Burn, Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness, Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control, Cybergoria, MADLANDS: Caged Cannibals, INVASION: Alien Abduction and H.R. Bloodengutz Presents: A Halloween Fright-Tacular!Along the way he digs into why the original houses stole the spooky season show, which IP houses captured a mood instead of just replaying the movie, and how Doug Bradley's return as Pinhead and a heartfelt Ozzy tribute stand out. He also makes the case for why Halloween Horror Nights is about spectacle and exhilaration, not full-contact scares. _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.
