Stretching across eight states, this iconic road has been the setting for countless ghost stories, eerie legends, and unexplained phenomena. Travelers venturing down Route 66 have reported ghostly hitchhikers, abandoned towns frozen in time, and roadside motels where spectral figures linger long after check-out. Could the highway itself be haunted? Some believe that the long, lonely stretches of road, once bustling with life, now carry the echoes of the past—spirits forever trapped along America’s most famous highway. Jennifer and Joe explore some of the most infamous haunted locations along Route 66, starting with the legendary Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, often dubbed "America’s Most Haunted Hotel." Guests have reported apparitions, disembodied voices, and even ghostly hands touching them in the night. Moving westward, they delve into the eerie tales surrounding the El Rancho Hotel in Gallup, New Mexico, a favorite stop for Hollywood stars in its heyday, now said to be haunted by restless spirits of guests who never left. Then, there's the Oatman Hotel in Arizona, where the ghost of Clark Gable’s late wife, Carole Lombard, is said to roam the halls, and where phantom laughter is often heard in empty rooms. But it’s not just hotels—Route 66 is dotted with ghost towns, abandoned buildings, and spectral roadways where the past refuses to be forgotten. The abandoned town of Texola, Oklahoma, once a thriving community, now stands eerily quiet, save for reports of shadowy figures moving through the crumbling structures. In Missouri, the Tri-County Truck Stop has gained a reputation as a paranormal hotspot, with former employees and visitors claiming to see ghostly figures walking through the empty diner late at night. And in Illinois, the Cahokia Mounds, an ancient Native American site just off Route 66, carries an air of mystery and supernatural energy, with visitors experiencing strange whispers and unexplained lights. As Jennifer and Joe uncover these chilling stories, they ask—could Route 66 be more than just a road? Could it be a supernatural highway, where spirits roam and the past refuses to fade? Tune in as they share spine-tingling encounters, discuss the history behind these haunted places, and invite listeners to share their own ghostly experiences from the road. If you dare to travel Route 66, be prepared—you might just bring back more than memories. Welcome to the 222 Paranormal Podcast, your gateway to the captivating world of the supernatural.

Known for its lush landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs, St. John is also steeped in stories of the supernatural. The island is a blend of paradise and mystery, with its history marked by dark events that have left an indelible imprint on its landscape. Our exploration begins with the infamous Jumbles, a series of ghostly occurrences tied to the island's storied past. The Jumbles are said to be a place where the spirits of the past linger, their restless souls wandering among the trees and ruins. The history of St. John includes times of upheaval, with its indigenous populations, colonial influences, and even tales of piracy all contributing to the island’s unsettling atmosphere. Locals claim to have witnessed strange happenings around the Jumbles, where the air turns cold and whispers echo through the dense forest. These phenomena are believed to be tied to both the island’s dark history and the unresolved conflicts that occurred there. Some say the spirits of those who died in battle or of unnatural causes never left, forever bound to the land they once occupied. The next chilling tale we unravel is that of Robert Oppenheimer’s haunted beach, a place that seems to carry an energy that cannot be explained by science or reason. Oppenheimer, best known as one of the key figures behind the development of the atomic bomb, had a significant connection to St. John, where he spent time on the island. This particular beach, however, has become the center of paranormal activities. Visitors to the site report feelings of being watched, strange sounds that seem to come from nowhere, and an overwhelming sense of dread that falls over them unexpectedly. As we delve deeper into the story, it becomes clear that Oppenheimer’s connection to the island may have left behind more than just physical footprints in the sand. Some believe that the spirits of those affected by the devastating consequences of the atomic bomb are somehow tethered to this place, and their energies have coalesced around the beach. Others suggest that Oppenheimer himself, with his profound moral struggles and the weight of his scientific contributions, may have inadvertently brought a curse with him to the island. The unsettling occurrences have intrigued both locals and paranormal investigators, many of whom have attempted to document the strange happenings. Whether it is the whispers of ghosts or the echoes of a past shrouded in secrecy, the hauntings on St. John continue to captivate the imagination. In this episode, we also explore the broader history of the island, from its days as a plantation hub to its status as a national park today. As we uncover the hidden stories behind these haunted sites, it becomes clear that St. John is much more than just a picturesque island—it is a place where history, the supernatural, and the unexplained collide. We invite our listeners to keep an open mind as we share these chilling encounters and encourage them to explore the mysteries of St. John for themselves, as you never know what you might encounter on this enigmatic island.

    In this episode, we dive into one of the most chilling and mysterious modern-day legends: the Black-Eyed Children. These eerie figures, often described as children between the ages of 6 and 16, are said to appear in rural or suburban areas, usually at night, and ask for help—sometimes for a ride, a place to stay, or to use a phone. What sets these children apart is their unsettling appearance. While they look like ordinary kids, their most disturbing feature is their completely black eyes—no whites, no irises—just solid black orbs that seem to hold a sinister, almost otherworldly energy. Witnesses report feelings of intense fear and unease when encountering them, often accompanied by a strong, inexplicable urge to avoid them at all costs. The first accounts of Black-Eyed Children began appearing on the internet in the late '90s, with stories circulating online about strange encounters. These children typically exhibit unnatural behavior, like insisting on entering the home or vehicle of the person they approach, often with a sense of urgency and demand. While many theories about their origins exist, ranging from extraterrestrial beings to ghosts or even cryptids, there is no definitive answer as to who or what they truly are. Some believe they’re manifestations of pure evil, others think they’re a kind of interdimensional being, or perhaps something darker still. In this episode, we explore these haunting encounters, dive into the chilling stories that have circulated for years, and discuss the possible explanations behind this unsettling phenomenon. Get ready for an unnerving ride into one of the most spine-chilling urban legends of our time.
