Welcome to Season 2! I kick it off featuring a trio of tales pulled from the pages of Eve S. Evans's Supernatural 911 Calls!

Three lesser known members of the Phantom Menagerie

This week on Brillyant I look at three lesser known members of the Phantom Menagerie! First, we have the mysterious, shambling Teague Terror! Then I look at the misleadingly named Batsquatch! I close with the reptilian humanoid known only as the Dark Denizen. Source: Lyle Blackburn's True Terrifying Encounters Volume 2

Season 1

Scary Christmas!

Scary Christmas! I run down a few of the finest monsters the season has to offer!

Skinwalkers

In the dark of a Southwestern desert night, a terrible choice is made. A deliberate decision to choose dark over light, evil over good. A choice to break the scared laws of the Dine, to be initiated into a corrupted path by committing vile acts including murder and some have said cannibalism. Through these forbidden rites they become something…else. Something no longer human that exists outside of the moral order. This is a chosen path, walked willingly, that leads into chaos, away from Hozho-the concept of living in harmony, balance and beauty. With this choice comes corrupted power. The power to transform into animals. Especially those nocturnal predators that shun the daylight. Powerful, savage beasts. Beasts like wolves. This witch is feared, not only for its power to transform, but because it evil. It seeks power through the destruction of others. This is a being so feared, a being who represents ideas that are so taboo, that the Dine do not utter its name. This is the Skinwalker.

The Black Eyed Children

This week on brillyant I take a look at the enigmatic Black Eyed Children.

Episode 10: The Haunting of Asylum 49

Welcome to Asylum 49, a haunted attraction where the ghosts are all too real. Stick around to hear about the spirits that still reside in the old hospital and even get in on the scares every Halloween when it is transformed into a premier haunted attraction.

Episode 9: Halloween With Lisa Morton

How did this crazy, magical holiday come to be? I have author and Halloween Historian Lisa Morton on to discuss its origins in Samhain and it's evolution into Halloween as we know it today. So don't you dare go anywhere, Lisa Morton is about to drop some knowledge!
