Family Secret, American Wolf-man, Hostel Hostile

[00:00:06] And then maybe an hour later, I hear, it's really loud, tackling.

[00:00:20] Come to tell me a ghost story.

[00:00:23] The late night calling podcast where we delve into the world of the supernatural and explore

[00:00:28] the eerie and unexplained.

[00:00:32] I'm your host, Michelle Newman.

[00:00:35] This podcast features true stories from our callers that will send shivers down your spine

[00:00:42] and leave you questioning the existence of the afterlife.

[00:00:47] So grab a cozy blanket, turn down the lights.

[00:00:53] I'm Phil from Chaternuga.

[00:00:56] I'm a property manager, I'm an empty vacant and foreclosed properties.

[00:01:03] And this story happened in Noble Georgia.

[00:01:06] I was given a work order to go to a town called LaFayette Georgia.

[00:01:12] Noble was on the way so I called the young man up that helps me from time to time.

[00:01:17] And he was home from the Marine Corps for 50 months.

[00:01:22] And he began to tell me a story about what happened to him in night before, the accident

[00:01:29] before he was going to take a shortcut from his house to his grandmother's house.

[00:01:35] And he had to go through the woods.

[00:01:39] And he said he got into a certain point and he stopped.

[00:01:44] And he felt like he was being watched.

[00:01:49] And then he turned around and there were these shadow figures in back having.

[00:01:57] And as he turned around, as he turned back forward, there were some shadow figures there again.

[00:02:02] And he began to tell me he did a 360 and they were all the way around.

[00:02:07] And I asked him, what part of the woods were you in?

[00:02:11] And he told me he said, you remember the old cross-state criminal tour?

[00:02:15] I said, yeah. He said, well that's in my backyard.

[00:02:19] He said, I was taking a shortcut and I was going through the old criminal tour.

[00:02:23] And I said, why in this shell would you do that?

[00:02:27] Because everybody around here knows that the guy who owned that place was not creating bodies.

[00:02:34] He was piling them up in a barn.

[00:02:37] He had over 300 bodies that had not been cremated in his barn.

[00:02:43] And then when the FBI found out about it, because of the neighbor's dog digging up a skull,

[00:02:49] the FBI, the TGBI, the state and local, all of that police just blew up that little town of Noble.

[00:02:58] And they tore everything down, they drained the pond, they took all the bodies that they could to Atlanta

[00:03:06] to try and identify them.

[00:03:09] But the county and the state that nothing can be built on that property.

[00:03:15] So everything else there was torn down like I said.

[00:03:18] And by now, everything's grown up and it's dense, freeze, and scrub, and private.

[00:03:24] And he was taking a shortcut, breathe there to get to his grandmother's house.

[00:03:31] And that's what he encountered on his way.

[00:03:33] You can fact check the crematorium.

[00:03:36] He was called Trostate, crematorium, Noble Georgia, a man who owned it.

[00:03:42] The name was Brent Marsh.

[00:03:44] Pull it up and just take a look at the chaos that was going on there.

[00:03:49] Just imagine the family secret is there's 300 rotting

[00:03:53] to hang bodies out in the barn.

[00:03:58] Take a look at it.

[00:04:01] Thank you, Phil, from Chat Nuga.

[00:04:04] I recommend listeners Google the bizarre story of the Tri-State crematorium scandal.

[00:04:11] In total, 334 bodies were recovered, out of which only 226 have been identified.

[00:04:22] Either way, I'd tell your friend to take the long way to grandma's house from now on.

[00:04:30] Next message.

[00:04:33] Hey, here's the C.A.C.T.

[00:04:34] Turn it hand, take your land by pulling from A-Bon Indiana.

[00:04:39] And anyway, here's another two-zone story from the 1980s.

[00:04:42] One evening, we've heard home in our living room watching the new color TV.

[00:04:47] Dad was so proud of that color TV.

[00:04:49] He's on the way to the power of the house.

[00:04:52] And the TV went off, and then my mom heard a granny said we had four dogs at the time

[00:04:58] and four cats, but they weren't doing anything.

[00:05:01] The dogs became frightened ran out of the room.

[00:05:04] And my mom opened up the living room drapes and much to our home.

[00:05:09] We saw an imaginary creature called dogman.

[00:05:14] It was a tall, and he was completely blind here.

[00:05:20] And he was frightened American wearable.

[00:05:23] And he was proud of him, and he was slapping the sliding glass doors.

[00:05:27] And if he was trying to break it, and mom said to her,

[00:05:30] Jake, all the police and dad said, no, I have a better idea.

[00:05:34] He said, where was our freedom?

[00:05:36] Silver bullets aren't there in the months,

[00:05:38] but we haven't got a gun, we haven't got silver bullets.

[00:05:41] And dad said, I've got something better.

[00:05:43] You ran into a bedroom to count a silver coin chest and presented it to the American world.

[00:05:49] Where were better known as dogmen?

[00:05:52] And it took one look at that and slanted how and ran into the darkness.

[00:05:57] So I said, I hope he has to share my stories and these are all three stories.

[00:06:02] So thank you for your time. Thank you.

[00:06:07] Thank you, Cindy, for your call.

[00:06:10] I've never heard of the dogman before, so I had to look him up.

[00:06:14] In folklore, the Michigan dogman.

[00:06:16] It was described as a seven foot tall, blue-eyed or amber-eyed,

[00:06:21] by Peter K. 9, like animal, with a torso of a man,

[00:06:26] and a fearsome howl that sounds like a human screen.

[00:06:30] In 1987, this jockey Steve Cook,

[00:06:34] introverse city Michigan, recorded a silly song titled, The Legend,

[00:06:39] about a dogman, which he initially played as an April Fool's joke.

[00:06:43] He based the song on myths and legends from around North America,

[00:06:47] and had never actually heard about the Michigan dogman at the time.

[00:06:51] He said he completely made up the song as a joke, from his own imagination.

[00:06:56] But then Cook started receiving calls from listeners,

[00:06:59] who said that they had encountered a similar creature.

[00:07:03] And over the years, Cook has received more than 100 reports of real dogmen sightings.

[00:07:12] Next caller.

[00:07:14] Hey, this is Handleton Long Island New York,

[00:07:17] and I have a ghost story for you all today.

[00:07:19] This ghost story happened a few years ago in a hostel

[00:07:24] that I was staying at in Los Angeles.

[00:07:28] It took place over the course of three days.

[00:07:32] The first day that I get to the hostel,

[00:07:34] first of all, I'm excited to see it's a big room filled with bunk beds.

[00:07:41] I could fit up to six to eight people.

[00:07:45] The first day that I get there, I had a couple of roommates,

[00:07:50] and everybody was very chill.

[00:07:53] You know, there were no signs of anything crazy going on.

[00:07:58] So it was just in my space.

[00:07:59] And then like, it was my first time staying at a hostel in Los Angeles.

[00:08:03] But already I had known of different hostels being haunted.

[00:08:09] So the second day, a couple of those roommates leave,

[00:08:16] and it's just me and another girl who stayed there that night.

[00:08:22] When I come into the hostel at the end of the conference day,

[00:08:27] I showered with my teeth, got ready for bed,

[00:08:31] and turned off the light.

[00:08:33] Now the girl she was calling on her phone.

[00:08:40] And then maybe an hour later I hear,

[00:08:44] she really loud cackling.

[00:08:47] Like she's giggling at her phone, but like really loudly,

[00:08:51] almost not just her head wasn't in my feet

[00:08:54] where I heard this loud cackling noise.

[00:08:57] And I just tried to like, me into sleep at off,

[00:09:01] but she was just really loud.

[00:09:03] So I would say I gave it maybe 15 minutes,

[00:09:07] and the cackling finally stopped,

[00:09:09] and then it's just about it.

[00:09:11] I put the flash on my phone on,

[00:09:15] but she, her head,

[00:09:20] was in the opposite direction where I don't explain this.

[00:09:25] So essentially her feet were in your might feet.

[00:09:28] So there was no way for her to have been laughing that loudly,

[00:09:32] and completely switched her position 360,

[00:09:36] and being the position that she was in now.

[00:09:39] So to me, that was a very creepy moment,

[00:09:46] almost impossible moment,

[00:09:49] but I showed the argument to sleep.

[00:09:52] The following night,

[00:09:55] so the girl had left,

[00:09:57] and now the room was full with about seven people,

[00:10:01] all staying in the boatbits.

[00:10:06] And I came in at the end of the night of the conference,

[00:10:11] and I shoured,

[00:10:12] I brushed my teeth, went to sleep.

[00:10:17] And I've been asleep for maybe five or ten minutes

[00:10:22] when I woke up,

[00:10:24] and I want to say this was around 1-1-30am.

[00:10:28] I just felt the entire room shaking.

[00:10:35] And I was shaking extremely hard,

[00:10:37] and everything in the room was shaking.

[00:10:40] Because it was in Earthquake.

[00:10:43] And I'm watching my body bounce on the bed

[00:10:46] and every 17 in the room shaking.

[00:10:49] So that lasted for about 20 seconds,

[00:10:54] and then stopped.

[00:10:55] And I said to myself,

[00:10:57] well, we have a class Angelist here for Earthquake.

[00:10:59] So we're here all the time.

[00:11:01] So I learned that to sleep.

[00:11:03] The next morning woke up,

[00:11:07] went down to reception,

[00:11:09] and asked them,

[00:11:11] I think I asked for a towel,

[00:11:12] and they said, you know, just casually.

[00:11:15] Hey, did everybody else do that earthquake yesterday?

[00:11:18] Last night.

[00:11:20] And they looked,

[00:11:22] did you just look at me with a black stare?

[00:11:26] Like, what earthquake?

[00:11:28] And so then I looked online.

[00:11:31] I looked at geological trackers,

[00:11:33] it's just everything.

[00:11:35] And there was no earthquake that happened in that area.

[00:11:39] Or in Los Angeles that day.

[00:11:41] Now,

[00:11:43] I think either incident could be dismissed

[00:11:47] as on the current right,

[00:11:48] that the first current could have been.

[00:11:51] I don't know, maybe the girl just really did.

[00:11:53] She turned tired body the opposite way

[00:11:58] after laughing really loudly on the phone.

[00:12:00] That could be plausible.

[00:12:02] The second one could be,

[00:12:04] maybe I had dreamt that there was another earthquake.

[00:12:08] But to me, the fact that each of these incidents happened back to back,

[00:12:12] you know, night after night.

[00:12:15] To me, just seems like a very supernatural phenomena

[00:12:19] happened at that hostel.

[00:12:24] Thank you, handle for calling in.

[00:12:26] People are always coming and going from hostels.
