These days, we see magic as illusion, and evil erased by reason. But did Real witches ever really… exist? By the late 1600s, many innocents had been sacrificed on the altar of fear and suspicion, and the fevered thirst for the hunting of witches was dying.



But in quiet dark places, real and wicked witchery was at work and devilish deals were made, and on one cold morning in Edinburgh, a pious pillar of the community would make a horrifying confession that would again stoke the flames of the reality of the witch.



Join us on this episode of Belief Hole as we scour the deserts of the Southwest and explore the astral battlegrounds of cryptic Italian cults, for true tales of cursed earth, spirit sending, and spellcraft.





5.18 | Real Witches, Warlocks and Devilish Deeds

Through deep research and high-strangeness storytelling, three brothers explore paranormal encounters and unexplained events. Collecting freaky listener stories and scouring the dusty pages of classic Fortean texts, the brothers use high-production sound design to set the scene for alleged real encounters with, Dogman, Poltergeists, Bigfoot, Fairy Folk, Humanoids, UFOs, Shadow People, and Sky Creatures.. just to name a few.

Attempting to parse out the facts within folklore, the brothers of the Hole banter about everything from bizarre historical mysteries to emerging clandestine conspiracy theories, often challenging their own beliefs and sometimes each other's sanity. Good humor, good drinks, and good discussion! Have you ever overheard a co-worker shakily tell his story of a real encounter with a Dogman? Has your friend or weird uncle told you about his close encounter with a reptilian humanoid from the sewer? Looking to corroborate your grandma's true ghost stories? Were you born with a thirst for the mysterious? Well, sit back and pour yourself a big glass from the Belief Hole, my friend, and help us dig the weird!
