A snippet of this weeks Patreon Exclusive chapter.

Lurking in the shadows of Detroit’s history is a red-eyed harbinger of doom, the 'Nain Rouge'.

In this chapter, we explore the legend of this elusive creature said to appear before disaster strikes. From the founding of the city to its moments of greatest turmoil, the Nain Rouge has remained a constant, now even commemorated in parades.

We’ll trace the roots of this peculiar folklore, uncovering its connections to French colonial superstition, Native American tales, and the city’s own evolving identity.

As we begin Season V, we explore one of the most unnerving figures in modern folklore: the Men in Black.

Join us as we trace the shadowy origins of these silent enforcers, following their evolution from early UFO encounters to government conspiracies and their place in pop culture. We’ll examine the strange patterns that link witness testimonies, the unsettling uniformity of their behaviour, and the psychological weight they carry as symbols of censorship, paranoia, and control. Blurring the line between reality and fabrication, this urban legend continues to haunt the spaces where secrets are meant to stay buried.
