On the foggy coast of Kingston, Mila loves collecting strange little creatures called Labubus. Her brother Kaiban thinks they’re just toys—until one begins to move on its own. Dark blue, red-stained, and always grinning, this Labubu whispers in the night and waits in the shadows.

But Cocoa isn’t just a toy. It’s a trap… and part of an ancient witch’s curse.

Listen if you dare to the chilling season finale of Once Upon a Scare!

Beware the Odd Labubu—because once it chooses you, there’s no escape.

Legend says that deep in Venezuela, the Apure River roars—
a wild branch of the Orinoco, swollen with rain, swirling with whirlpools, sharp-toothed piranhas, and caimans with jaws strong enough to snap a tree in half. Even the bravest men feared to cross it.

But in 1932, in the town of San Fernando, a girl only ten years old accepted a challenge no one believed possible: to swim across the furious river and survive. Her name was Trina Omaira Salerno—and her story became a legend.

With her father following nervously in a canoe, Trina plunged into the raging waters. She fought the twisting current, slipped past the dreaded piranhas, and outpaced the snapping jaws of caimans. For half an hour she battled the river, while the whole town stood on the banks, holding its breath.

And when at last she pulled herself onto the far shore—soaked, trembling, but alive—the people of San Fernando erupted in cheers that rose louder than the river’s roar.

👻 Gather close, because tonight on Once Upon a Scare, we tell the incredible legend of Trina Omaira—the child who tamed the river.

Tinslee loved music more than anything—his piano, his guitar, even humming little tunes before bed. But when his mom asked him to take the laundry down to the basement, he discovered something waiting in the dark… glowing eyes, a haunted melody, and a secret that pulled him deeper into the shadows.

Some say the music still plays in that house on quiet nights. But is it Tinslee… or the monster he awakened?

Grab a blanket, turn off the lights, and get ready—because this story might just follow you after the last note fades.

Step inside the grand halls of the famous Hotel del Coronado, where history and mystery walk side by side. In this episode of Once Upon a Scare, Mia tells the true story of Kate Morgan, a young woman who checked in back in 1892… but never checked out.

Was her passing truly a sad accident, or is there more to the mystery? Guests and staff have reported flickering lights, moving belongings, and even the soft footsteps of a woman in a long, old-fashioned dress gazing out at the sea.

Join us as we uncover the legend of The Beautiful Stranger of the Coronado Hotel—a ghostly guest who may still be waiting for someone who never came.
