A game that vanished without a trace. A mystery that refuses to die. Today we’re digging into the story of Polybius, the arcade cabinet said to cause nightmares, memory loss and hallucinations.

Full description: In this episode, we take a deep dive through the timeline of the Polybius legend, starting with the strange cabinet that appeared in Portland, Oregon back in 1981. The stories describe a jet black machine with hypnotic gameplay that pulled in crowds. Players reported headaches, dizziness, and powerful nightmares. Some even claimed they lost time while playing it. The mystery only grew when people began reporting men in suits visiting arcades, collecting data from the machine and leaving without saying a word.

The last two weeks have been unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.

On September 6th and 7th, we traveled to Salamanca, New York to investigate two of the most haunted locations in America — the Hinsdale House and the Wildwood Sanitarium. This was not your typical ghost hunt. Eight static cameras, a body cam, an infrared setup, and tools like the EMF pump and Dead Bell recorded everything.

What we captured shook us: unexplained spikes, objects moving, a box pushed, and — in Tommy’s room at Wildwood — what looks like a shadow figure gliding through. At the same time, our equipment lit up. Over 120 hours of footage boiled down into one story that I can finally share.

This isn’t just another Halloween special — this is the reason I’ve been quiet. And this is the video I’ve been working toward all year.

In the early 1990s, young men began vanishing from Indianapolis. Their disappearances all pointed toward one man… Herb Baumeister. Behind the gates of Fox Hollow Farm, police would later uncover over 10,000 human bone fragments. Some say the property is still haunted, not only by his victims but perhaps by Herb himself.

In this episode, we retrace the echoes of America’s most terrifying murder house. From the chilling encounter with “Brian Smart,” to mannequins staged around an indoor pool, to the shocking discoveries on the farm, this story blurs the line between true crime and the paranormal.

Stay tuned until the end… because the haunting continues in Part 2 on Heather’s channel, Tell Me A Scary Story.
