    Feb 20 2026

    In this episode of Let’s Talk Spooky, we explore some of the most haunted universities in North America and the UK — from abandoned asylum buildings and Gothic towers to medieval cathedral ruins and anatomy theatres linked to real historical crimes.

    These aren’t urban legends pulled out of thin air. Many of these campuses are built on documented history involving:

    • Former psychiatric institutions
    • Grave robbing
    • The Burke and Hare murders
    • Public dissections
    • Religious executions
    • Phantom monks and ghostly figures

  • 34: Love, Loss & Legends: The Dark Side of Valentine’s Day (Bonus Episode)
    Feb 14 2026

    Send a text

    Valentine’s Day is often framed as a celebration of romance — roses, chocolate, candlelight.

    But beneath the surface, February 14th carries a far older and darker history.

    In this bonus episode of Let’s Talk Spooky, we explore the lesser-known folklore and urban legends connected to Valentine’s Day — from early martyrdom and ritual superstition to backroad ghost stories and industrial-era mining lore.

  • 33: Reddit Scary Stories: Glitch in Matrix, Time Slips ...
    Feb 13 2026

    In this episode of Let’s Talk Spooky, we explore modern accounts of time slips, missing time, and parallel reality experiences shared by users on Reddit.

    From waking up in impossible locations with no memory of how they got there… to stepping into what felt like another universe… these first-hand accounts blur the line between psychological phenomenon and paranormal mystery.

    Are these glitches in perception? Dissociation? Dimensional shifts?
    Or something far stranger?

    Stay curious. Stay spooky.
