All things Paranormal. Ghost, Cryptids, Unexpected True Crime, UFO’s and much more! Are you coming in? Or are you Chicken?
In this episode, we enter the legends and paranormal lore surrounding Romania’s Hoia-Baciu Forest.
Located near Cluj-Napoca, Hoia-Baciu has earned a reputation as one of the world’s most mysterious forests. Visitors and investigators have described strange sensations, sudden nausea, panic, disorientation, unusual electronic behavior, missing time, unexplained lights, and sightings of shadowy figures among the trees.
We explore:
The legend of Baciu, the shepherd said to have vanished in the forest with his flock
The forest’s unusual twisted trees and circular clearings where vegetation reportedly struggles to grow
Reports of strange lights, photographic anomalies, and UFO sightings
Accounts of lost time and possible abduction-like experiences
Paranormal investigations, electromagnetic anomalies, and the enduring mystery of the forest
Two chilling modern stories: an unexpected connection between two strangers and a photographer’s disturbing encounter in the woods
Whether Hoia-Baciu is shaped by folklore, perception, natural phenomena, or something far stranger, it remains a place where the ordinary seems to slip just slightly out of place.
If you visit, respect the forest, stay with a companion, remain aware of your surroundings, and leave no trace behind.

Spooky Coop – Episode 46 Show NotesThe Black Forest Haunting: The Lee Family Case :Join Paul and Michelle as they investigate one of Colorado's best-known modern paranormal cases—the reported haunting experienced by Steve and Beth Lee in Black Forest during the early 1990s.
In this episode:The Lee family's move into their newly built log home in Black Forest, Colorado.
The first unexplained events, including footsteps, opening doors, strange odors, disappearing objects, and unexplained sounds.
Reports that the activity intensified over time with flickering lights, shadow figures, voices, cold spots, and alleged physical contact.
Accounts involving the Lee children and why their experiences became one of the most compelling aspects of the case.
Paranormal investigators' visits, reported EVP recordings, equipment malfunctions, and differing conclusions about the property.
The visit from a respected Hopi elder, who approached the property from a Native spiritual perspective and reportedly advised respect for the land rather than confrontation with the phenomena.
A discussion of conventional explanations, including environmental conditions, wildlife, home construction, stress, and the role of human perception.
Why the Black Forest haunting remains one of Colorado's most discussed paranormal cases despite the lack of definitive proof.
Steve Lee's later belief that his family may have been subjected to a covert government experiment involving nearby military facilities, altered perception, and the alleged influence of a powerful land vortex.
What became of the property after the Lee family moved away and reports from subsequent owners that they experienced no unusual activity.
Discussion TopicsCan multiple eyewitness accounts strengthen extraordinary claims?
Where is the line between personal experience and objective evidence?
How do cultural and spiritual traditions differ in interpreting unexplained phenomena?
Could environmental factors account for some reported hauntings?
What role should skepticism play when examining paranormal claims?
Key Locations MentionedBlack Forest, Colorado
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Schriever Space Force Base (formerly Schriever Air Force Base)
Important NoteThe experiences discussed in this episode are based primarily on the reported accounts of Steve and Beth Lee and others connected to the case. Many claims remain unverified, and no scientific consensus exists regarding the reported paranormal events. The discussion is intended to explore the history, testimony, and differing interpretations surrounding this well-known case.

In this chilling episode of Spooky Coop, Paul and Michelle take you on a dark ride down America’s highways — exploring both the terrifying and the paranormal.
🚚 Part 1: Long-Haul Terrors
We kick off with the real-life horrors of serial killers who used the open road as their hunting ground:
• Keith Hunter Jesperson — Known as the Happy Face Killer, Jesperson was a long-haul trucker who murdered at least eight women between 1990 and 1995. His twisted signature? Taunting authorities and the media with confessions signed with a simple smiley face.
• Adam Lane — Dubbed the Highway Killer, Lane’s brief but brutal spree in 2007 left a trail of random, violent murders along the East Coast. His capture was only possible after a botched home invasion — but how many more victims might there have been?
👻 Part 2: Ghostly Hitchhikers
Then, we shift gears into the world of the supernatural with two of America’s most famous ghostly hitchhikers:
• Resurrection Mary — The legendary ghost of Archer Avenue in Chicago, Mary is said to be a young woman in a white dress who hitches rides only to vanish near Resurrection Cemetery — leaving drivers shaken and confused.
• Lydia, the Dancing Hitchhiker — In Jamestown, North Carolina, Lydia roams the roadside near a bridge where she died in the 1920s. Witnesses report picking her up, hearing distant music… and watching her disappear before their eyes.
🎙️ What you’ll hear:
• The dark reality of long-haul trucking as a cover for violent crimes.
• The eerie similarities between ghostly hitchhiker legends across the U.S.
• Thought-provoking moments as Paul and Michelle discuss why highways — both physical and spiritual — seem to attract such darkness.
Hit play now for a ride through true crime and the paranormal — and remember… not every passenger is heading to a destination.
Stay spooky! 👻

In this episode of Spooky Coop, we’re stepping into a tale that’s equal parts daring and spine-chilling. Two young friends, a late-night adventure, and the irresistible pull of a Ouija board—what could go wrong?
As the night unfolds, what begins as a playful attempt to summon spirits leads to an encounter neither of them could have anticipated. A silent Ouija board isn’t the end of their story; it’s only the beginning. On the misty, frost-laced window of their trailer, they see the ghostly image of a grandmother long passed. Is it a message from beyond or a trick of their imagination or a simple case of pareidolia?
Join us as we recount this eerie experience, explore the questions it raises, and dive into the mysteries that linger in the space between the living and the dead.
In This Episode, We’ll Discuss:
• The friendship and bravery that led them to experiment with the Ouija board.
• The chilling discovery on the trailer window.
• Theories about the ghostly apparition—spiritual, psychological, or just pure coincidence.

In this episode of Spooky Coop, Paul and Michelle guide listeners through three remarkable stories of human-to-animal shapeshifting, each coming from separate tribal backgrounds:
Animals in the desert - An experience told to us by a Hopi Elder where, as a boy, he watched as his father, uncle and their friend perform a ceremony that transforms them. Plus, his father explains to him the reasons for pursuing such an incredible feat of what can only be described as pure magic.
The Miraculous Bear - From the Great Plains, this chilling account tells of a man changing into a massive bear in front of a group of tribal members during a special ceremony in the 1930’s.
Careful where you camp - A haunting experience by an Ojibwa man and his friends during a camping trip in Algonquin Park in Ontario, Canada. While out traveling through the broad wilderness of the park, Steve and his friends encounter a group of other-worldly bipedal creatures and are attacked during the night at their campsite.
As Paul and Michelle unpack these incredible accounts, they discuss the shared themes of sacrifice, spirituality, and the thin boundary between the physical and the supernatural. Could these stories hold clues to a forgotten connection between humans and the animal world? Or are they cautionary tales, warning us of the consequences of tampering with forces beyond our understanding?
Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, these stories will make you question just how much we truly know about the mysteries of the human spirit. So, grab a seat around the campfire and prepare to be both enchanted and unsettled.

Welcome back, fellow seekers of the strange and unexplained! In this thought-provoking special episode, Paul and Michelle tackle a perplexing phenomenon making headlines across America: the mysterious drone sightings sweeping through New Jersey and beyond. On the surface, these sightings appear to involve ordinary drones, but are they truly what they seem? Or could something far more extraordinary be at play?
As UFO experiencers and alien contactees, Paul and Michelle bring a unique perspective to this growing mystery. They start by breaking down recent news reports, eyewitness accounts, and video footage of these so-called “drones.” From their unusual flight patterns to their inexplicable ability to hover silently and suddenly disappear, many of these sightings seem to defy the limits of current drone technology.
Could these drones be a cover for UFO activity? Paul and Michelle share intriguing theories, including:
• Camouflage in plain sight: Are UFOs disguising themselves as drones to avoid scrutiny?
• A human connection: Could this surge of sightings be linked to secretive government operations or experimental military technology?
• Communication attempts: Are extraterrestrial intelligences using drone-like appearances as a way to subtly interact with humanity?
Drawing from their own UFO encounters, Paul and Michelle add a deeply personal layer to the discussion. They explore how their experiences shape their interpretation of these sightings and why they believe this isn’t a random coincidence. Could these sightings indicate a blending of human and extraterrestrial technology? Or are we witnessing a deliberate effort to blur the lines between the two?

Imagine you're sitting in a diner studying for an important college exam. A bohemian looking stranger comes into the diner and sits down near you only to engage in a conversation you don't really want. Somehow, you find yourself being drawn into his words. There's something odd, yet strangely attractive about the man's presence. He offers you a reward in the form of a rare gift in return for buying him breakfast. What would you do? Most people would likely walk away. Nevertheless, the woman can't seem to help herself. Would you do as she did and drive off to some unknown forest with a stranger who offers you the promise of seeing something incredible?
What We’ll Discuss:
• The Setup: A young college student, preoccupied with the stress of an upcoming exam, finds herself in an unassuming diner late at night. Enter the stranger—a bohemian man with a peculiar charm and an offer that feels impossible to resist.
• The Stranger’s Offer: Breakfast in exchange for a mysterious reward. Sounds harmless enough, but there’s something unnervingly captivating about his presence and his words.
• The Decision: Against all logic, she agrees to follow the stranger into the unknown, venturing into a secluded forest. What she finds there defies her wildest expectations—and raises more questions than it answers.
• The Theories: Paul and Michelle dive into the possible explanations for this surreal encounter. Could he have been:
• A time traveler?
• A mystical being?
• A manipulative con artist?
• Or something beyond human understanding?
Listener Engagement:
• Would you have gone with the stranger? Is this a cautionary tale or a testament to human curiosity? Share your thoughts with us on social media!
• Have you had a similarly inexplicable encounter? Email your story to sendittospookycoop@gmail.com —we’d love to feature it in a future episode.
Episode Highlights:
• Michelle draws parallels to urban legends and folklore involving strangers who grant gifts?
• Paul explores the psychology of charm, persuasion, and the allure of the unknown.
• Together, they debate whether the woman was foolish, brave, or simply a victim of forces beyond her control.
Why You’ll Love This Episode:
This story taps into a deep human fear: the uneasy balance between temptation and danger. It’s a tale of mystery, suspense, and the thin line between caution and curiosity—all served with Paul and Michelle’s signature humor and insight.
