The creek of the closet door at 3 am, the sense of someone watching you from that one corner in your basement.. Always that corner!. The mysterious chicken bones you found above the doorway of your new apartment.. What if there is, in fact, something to these seemingly mystical experiences? ..What if the Boogeyman does exist? From el Coco to Babaroga, we pull on the common threads of cultural bogymen, present some chilling encounters, and explore the strange ways in which our world has learned to keep him out!

Thanks for the clarification, Leon!
Great episode! I still shut my closet door at night and I’m almost 40!
That’s the mark of a smart lady, Heidi 😉
Not enough nice things to say. I learn something new every episode.
Thanks for the kind words, ELD! That makes our little Belief Hole hearts smile 🙂 See you in the Hole!
