THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NOCHE…
That’s what this podcast is about:
True crime, urban legends, supernatural phenomena, the paranormal, and other weirdness from Latin America and the Latinx diaspora.
So many creepy stories are largely unknown to an English-speaking audience, so we dove in to curate some fascinating and unforgettable tales for you.
Want a true crime and paranormal podcast with a Latin flair? THIS IS IT.
WHERE DO THESE STORIES COME FROM?
We focus on tales from Central and South America, as well as North America and everywhere Latin influence is found. Our stories come from: Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Bolivia, Paraguay, Panama, Ecuador, Belize, Honduras, Uruguay, Cuba, Republica Dominicana, Nicaragua, as well as states in the U.S. such as California, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and more.
Not Just the Strange, but the story behind it…
Every legend has a beginning, every haunting has a history. All the stories that chill us have origins and context that make them so much richer… and scarier.
We hope you enjoy finding out more about each case and tale we present.
