If these stories all meet at the same crossroads, what else might be waiting there?

When thunder cracked across the Suffolk coast in 1577, witnesses claimed a massive black hound burst through the doors of two English churches — killing worshippers and leaving claw marks scorched into the wood. Centuries later, those marks remain.

In this episode, we chase the legend of the Black Shuck — a spectral hellhound said to haunt crossroads and storms — and uncover how lightning, fear, and faith combined to create one of Britain’s oldest surviving monster tales.

Where do we draw the line between what’s beastly… and what’s infernal?

In the dead of winter, when food runs scarce and fear grows fat, even the most virtuous hearts can turn hollow. This week, we trace the legend of the Wendigo — a creature born from hunger, gluttony, and the brutal cold of the Great Lakes. From Algonquin oral traditions to 19th-century courtrooms, this isn’t just a monster story — it’s a record of what happens when survival crosses the line into sin.

Featuring the true cases of Swift Runner and Jack Fiddler, and the eerie phenomenon once known as Wendigo psychosis, we’ll ask the question no one wants answered: Is the Wendigo a spirit that possesses… or a person transformed by hunger itself?

But maybe it isn’t the devil who lingers at these intersections...

This week on Haunts, we head south into the swamps of Louisiana, where faith and folklore twist together under the cypress trees. The Rougarou — a Cajun werewolf said to stalk sinners and silence witnesses — has haunted bayou towns for centuries. But if every story about it ends in a whisper, can a monster built on secrecy ever really exist?
