Welcome to The Castro Files. In today's episode we've got a story of a seemingly innocuous relaxation method, sleep deprivation tanks. Have you ever been in such a quiet, still, and dark place that you drift off? While it can be quite healthy, what if you brought something back from the darkness with you, to the world of light? Is it only in your mind, too many scary movies? Are you willing to take the chance?

Welcome to The Castro Files. In today's episode we cover the phenomenon of the Vanishing Hitchhiker. Now we don't necessarily recommend picking up hitchhikers, but not too long ago this was a very common practice. There's a bit of a risk when picking up someone you don't know and in the stories we talk about here, your passenger may not stick around long enough to get to their destination.

Welcome to The Castro Files. This week we have two stories that both take place in the forest. The first is a very famous UFO abduction story that took place in Northern Arizona. In 1974 Travis Walton and several of his companions were travelling a logging road home after a day of work when they noticed a very strange light and an unusual craft. What happened over the next five days is one of the most documented cases of Alien abduction ever documented. The second story, The Whimper Tree, will make you think twice about playing in the forest. What if there are places or things, we just shouldn't mess with that could do us harm? What if your kids were having a bit of fun and stumbled upon the Whimper Tree? Happy New Year!

Welcome to The Castro Files. This week's story is a true battle of light versus dark, good versus evil, it's Santa versus Krampus. Krampus from the tales of old is an entity that arrives on December 5th to either punish or take the naughty kids. And of course, Santa wants to spread the holiday cheer, and kick Krampus' ass. This is not your typical Santa story.

Welcome to The Castro Files. This week we have 2 creepy stories to share.
The first story, the terrifying story of a woman, Carolyn, who took her own life after being tormented on all fronts. The details of her time leading up to her death were all uncovered after a man, Andrew, unlocked her phone and dug into the mysterious circumstances and downright weird factors that influenced her decision. Can our social media be engineered so only we see a specific view of reality? Maybe, you be the judge. And keep an eye out for Andrew.
The second story is about a man named Michael Taylor back in the mid-1970's. A happily married man and father began going to a new church that just so happened to conduct many exorcisms on people that were potentially possessed. These exorcisms may have brought him into contact with other nefarious and insidious elements that led to Michael himself being possessed. Unfortunately, the exorcism that was conducted on Michael was not as successful and what followed was a true nightmare.

Welcome to The Castro Files. This week we have 2 stories to share. The first story, the Russian Sleep Experiment, whether a made-up story or real, is a nightmare. The story goes that five men were locked in a chamber for 30 days and told to stay awake, their very freedom depended on it. What happened during their time in isolation after just 15 days is horrific. Is it a true story or just a tale? The second story takes place in Michigan where sightings of an enormous creature much the shape of a dog or wolf that appears every 10 years has become something of a legend. The Michigan Dog Man as it's famously known in many parts even has a song dedicated to it. Is it just a story told throughout the years or is there something to it. You be the judge. #Russiansleep #michigandogman #thecastrofilespodcast
