Let's take a trip. Small town, USA. This is where the pulse of the paranormal resides. There are thousands of stories and experiences out there. Some have been told, and retold hundreds of times, and some are kept hidden, known only by the people that live there; this is where we come in. We're exploring the untold, and breaking down the overly familiar. Journeying through the one stoplight towns and discovering local urban legends, myths, lore, and paranormal episodes. Researching the backgrounds and developing the voices unheard. Our goal is not to capture evidence, but rather to capture the moment and bring our listeners along for the ride. Keep visiting the site for the trip log of our travels and other urban legends at: www.trippingonlegends.com.

Episode 133...A Picture is Worth a Thousand Scares

Sep 26 2024 69 mins

There’s that perfect shot which captures the emotion of a ghost story and freezes it in our mind forever. Sometimes it’s a picture snapped at the right time or a painting stealing a moment with a precise hand. We remember the famous Brown Lady of Raynham Hall and the Little Girl in the Burning Building. They are tangible proof of something our gut tells us is fact, but our mind

Episode 132...Cursed Calls

Sep 08 2024 78 mins

Be careful when you pick up the phone. Know who you're dialing, get the number right, and whatever you do...don't invite anything in. The rumor is a ghost was contacted the first time Alexander Graham Bell used the phone, and it hasn't eased up since. The technology changes, but the creepy remains. From calls from the recently dead to urban legends about cursed numbers, the

Episode 131...Kid Books, Cannibals, and Christian Shows

Jul 05 2024 47 mins

We’re going live with the launch of the new book and two interesting news stories that strike right at the heart of what we do. The first is one making the rounds and gaining momentum. Glen Powell speaks on the ills of dating and the rise of cannibals on Bumble. See the interview: https://youtu.be/N2uLjyoPal4?si=n6MGdHVWmkD4kBmA Next we have the story that may be a story that may

Episode 130...Holy Ghosts or Wholly Legends

Jun 13 2024 74 mins

A buried and resurrected episode with all of its warts and lofty ideas. Religions are based on belief, but also ritual and faith. Sounds like a perfect palate for urban legends and ghost stories. Now add an abandon church and a college campus. It’s one of the supposa be haunted kind of ideas. But what happens when no one wants to admit there is actually a haunting…or a haunte

Episode 129...The Witch and the Ghost Party

Jun 25 2023 53 mins

Sometimes you just need to be there to get why a haunted legend comes alive. There’s a story of a witch, a woods, and people who visit her ghost in the hopes of touching her wall and earning a little of her power. Sound familiar? What happens though when the wall is more story than a structure and the witch is more myth than mystic? Join the Trippers in the shadow of the Turtle a

Episode 128...A Tale of Two Trestles

Jun 15 2023 61 mins

The dead man’s ghost is possessed by a pig who was feasting on his body as it sat on the edge of the water waiting to be retrieved by the police. Fishermen in the area won’t eat anything caught there or fish when the sun goes down because of the hog-like screams that come from the glowing specter who floats on the water. If this all makes perfect sense, you must live in Florida

Episode 127 Blue Whales, Backrooms, and Walking Sam

Apr 23 2023 92 mins

There are a few reasons people make up folklore. They are trying to learn a lesson or remember something important to pass down. They are wanting to cherish a historical moment. Then some folklore is meant to explain something in nature that science has not yet tackled. Why are their lights in the sky? Where does thunder come from? Why does the snake slitter? Why are our kids

Episode 126...Bones and Lies from Okeechobee

Apr 10 2023 57 mins

Urkhammer or Ashely were just the beginning. Sure, we can agree they probably never existed, but did they have their own merch? In walks Doveland, Wisconsin and says, “Hold my urban legend.” In the second part of their Lost Cities, Lost Bones show, Trippers Christopher Balzano and Deanna Mulhern continue their trek across towns that never existed looking trying to make sense

Episode 125...Lost Cities, Lost Bones

Mar 20 2023 53 mins

Ever been to Urkhammer or Ashely? Have you picked up your hat and cup and keychain from Doveland? Travel across the country and you'll find rumors of towns that don't exist and places people remember but can't quite communicate about. It could be collective amnesia, the Mandela Effect, or maybe just a case of the Internet having a little fun at our expense. We continue to scratch

Episode 124...Battle of the Two Dolls

Feb 26 2023 79 mins

With Ella begging me to allow her to do the Backrooms episode, we had to switch gears a little bit. It's okay to follow Robert's Rules and believe in the curse. It's okay to fall back on Voodoo curses and wild affairs and attempted murder. It's okay to swoon when the tales get taller and the stories get darker and the monster comes out of the attic. All Roberts are a representa
