Project Black Garden: A Monsters & Myths Podcast

They walk where the living dare not tread. Echoes of the forgotten, shadows of regret, forever bound between worlds. Some seek peace, others seek revenge. But all of them… seek you.

Tonight, we invite you to listen closely. To the footsteps in empty halls, the whispers behind locked doors, and the cold breath on the back of your neck when no one is there.

This is ghosts.

Not legends… not imagination… but the restless dead that refu...

They say he comes when the world is asleep. When your mind drifts beyond the veil of dreams and your body lies helpless in the dark.

A shadow with no face. A weight on your chest. A whisper in your ear that isn’t your own. He doesn’t knock. He doesn’t ask. He takes.

For centuries, women have woken breathless, trembling, certain they were not alone. Some say it was just a nightmare. Others never woke up at all.

Tonight, we descend i...

They were here long before the first cities rose from clay. Before gods walked among men. Before the earth had a name.

They say the bones still lie beneath the hills. Too massive for any beast, too human to explain away. Whispers tell of beings taller than trees… eyes like burning coals… and a hunger that shook the heavens.

The old stories called them giants. Titans. Fallen gods. Monsters carved from the bones of the world itself.

...

They lurk in corners just beyond the edge of light. No eyes, no face. Only the shape of something watching. They visit when you're most vulnerable… paralyzed in your bed, unable to scream. Are they spirits… interdimensional travelers… or something far more sinister? Tonight, we step into the darkness to uncover the truth behind the watchers in the shadows.

Let us explore the myths, sightings, and terrifying truths of the Shadow Peo...

He has no face, yet every missing child swears they saw him watching from the trees. A figure stitched together by the internet’s darkest corners... born in pixels, raised in whispers, and now, lurking in your nightmares. Slender Man is more than a myth. He’s an infection. A shadow that spreads with every story told, every image shared, and every believer lost in the woods.

You think you’re safe because he was born on the internet?...

They say the dead rest in peace… but not all of them. Some walk among us... pale, silent, hungry. For centuries, they’ve hidden in plain sight, behind cold eyes and warm smiles. Feeding slowly. Patiently. Silently.

From the shadows of forgotten graves and the fog-choked forests of Eastern Europe to the neon alleys of modern cities… they stalk. Blood is their curse. Immortality is their prison.

Vampires.

You’ve heard the stories… bu...

They walk among us in the daylight: smiling, laughing, breathing, just like you. Their skin is warm, their voices soft. But when the sun dips below the horizon… the illusion fades.

Beneath the veil of flesh lies something far more terrifying… bones painted in colors of the damned, skulls etched with the spirits of the lost. They are the cursed children of the Nightbloom, bound by an ancient hex, doomed to hunt the living as night f...

They say she waits… in the dark… behind the glass. Her name is a whisper on the lips of the brave… or the foolish.

They say if you stand in front of a mirror, in the dead of night, and whisper her name three times… she’ll appear. A bloodied face. A vengeful scream. A chilling fate awaiting those who dare summon her.

What is it about a name that calls the dead? A forgotten queen drowning in blood? A witch seeking vengeance? Or somet...

From ancient folklore to modern nightmares, the Boogeyman has haunted our collective fears for centuries. He’s the monster under the bed, the shadow in the corner of your room, the thing you hear breathing when you’re supposed to be alone.

They say he’s just a story… a whisper in the dark to keep children in line. But what if the Boogeyman is real? What if he’s always been here, watching… waiting… hiding in the shadows just beyond ...

For centuries, they have haunted our legends… whispered through fire-lit tales and carved into the stone of ancient ruins. Some call them myths fantasies spun from fear. But what if the truth is far more terrifying? What if the dragons of old were real… and they never truly vanished?

But myths don’t leave behind scorched earth. Legends don’t carve their shadows into the bones of lost civilizations. And fear, real fear… doesn’t come...

Last season, we opened the first journal. We thought we were uncovering old stories — instead, we awakened something.

Now… more journals have surfaced. Pages soaked in blood, inked in desperation, hidden for centuries by those who knew too much. Each one pointing to monsters the world still refuses to believe in. But denial doesn’t make them disappear.

Welcome back to Project: Black Garden, A Monsters & Myths Podcast, Season 2:...

From the dark rituals of Haitian Vodou to the fast-moving terrors of modern apocalypses, we’ll uncover the origins, legends, and science behind the undead. Are they mindless monsters - or mirrors of our own fears and flaws?

Zombies. They’ve stalked our nightmares for centuries. Ancient folklore. Voodoo curses. Biological nightmares. Apocalypse warnings. They’re not just fiction… they’re a reflection of us. Mindless… ravenous… unst...

You wake up. You can’t move. The air is heavy - like something is pressing down on your chest. Then you see him… standing in the corner. Motionless. Watching. A tall figure draped in shadow, his face hidden beneath the brim of a wide, dark hat. He doesn’t speak. He doesn’t breathe. But you know he’s there…

He’s been seen in nightmares, in waking terror, in places where the light never reaches. A demon? A traveler from beyond? Or so...

For centuries, whispers of this seductive demon have haunted the dreams of the vulnerable. She lures her prey with irresistible beauty, only to drain their very essence - leaving behind empty souls and unanswered questions.

But who, or what is she? Is she a creature born from superstition, a cautionary tale to keep us in line, or something far more sinister… lurking just beyond the veil of our reality?

She is beautiful. She is terr...

Some call them visitors from the stars. Others call them invaders from the shadows. They’re watching us… studying us… and, perhaps, planning their next move.

From abduction stories and government cover-ups to their sinister experiments and alleged motives to manipulate humanity, we explore the darkest corners of alien lore.

Are they here for peace? Or something far more malevolent?

Welcome to Project Black Garden: A Monsters & ...

They call him the strongest man alive. A force of nature. A living weapon. But strength like his? It was never meant for good. It was meant for violence… for death. Hundreds have died by his hands. Some begged. Some ran. Some never saw it coming. He tore through them all the same. But now? The monster is tired. The killer wants to die.

This is his story. The legend of the Strong Man.

Welcome to Project Black Garden: A Monsters &...

For centuries, mermaids have been painted as enchanting creatures of the sea - but beneath their shimmering scales lies a far darker truth. From seductive sirens luring sailors to their watery graves to vengeful spirits lurking beneath the waves, these aren’t the mermaids of fairy tales.

These are the creatures nightmares are made of.

Prepare yourself for chilling stories of malevolent mermaids, unexplainable disappearances, and th...

They move in the corners of your vision… tiny, black shadows, twisted and clawed. They’re always watching, waiting. You might tell yourself it’s just your mind playing tricks… but the truth is darker than you could ever imagine. These monsters don’t want your soul - they want your eyes.

You might feel them watching… scuttling… crawling closer when you blink. You might hear them whisper your name from the...

They say legends are just stories… until you hear the screams in the night. Until you find the bodies - drained, lifeless, left with nothing but two puncture wounds and a mystery no one wants to solve. Something lurks in the darkness… and it’s hungry.

The Chupacabra. A nightmare with fangs. A creature that doesn’t just kill - it feeds. Stalking farmsteads, preying on the helpless, vanishing before dawn, ...
