He tries to escape, but even after leaving the warehouse, the luggage continues appearing in his home, in his dreams, in the corners of his daily life.</b><br /><b>The story becomes a chilling warning about curiosity, identity, and the terrifying possibility that somewhere, another version of you is waiting to take your place.</b><br /><br /><br /><b>You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:<br /><a href="https://linktr.ee/after_midnight_tales" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://linktr.ee/after_midnight_tales</a><br /><br />Produced by Podcai Studio:</b><br /><b><a href="https://www.podcaistudio.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.podcaistudio.com/</a></b>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>918</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>aftermidnighttales,creepypasta,creepystories,darkfiction,darknarration,eeriestories,hauntedstories,horrorcommunity,horrornarration,horrorpodcast,midnighttales,nightmarestories,paranormalstories,scarystories,scarytales,spinetingling,supernaturalpodcast,thrillerpodcast,truehorror,unexplainedmysteries</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/49a5fc9ebb8d0d6ab1acc7f9c965b03c.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Ignore the Screaming After Midnight</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ignore-the-screaming-after-midnight--70067468</link><description><![CDATA[<b>A new park ranger takes a seasonal job at an isolated national park and quickly discovers a strange list of “special procedures” hidden inside his handbook.

This supernatural protector swiftly eliminates the monster and leaves a thoughtful gift to replace the guard’s damaged property.With the threat neutralized, the facility returns to its normal, orderly state, leaving the guard to grapple with the unsettling realization that his mundane work concealed a hidden, supernatural purpose, and that the holiday he thought he understood holds far darker—and protective—forces than he could have imagined.</b><br /><br /><b>You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:<br /><a href="https://linktr.ee/after_midnight_tales" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://linktr.ee/after_midnight_tales</a><br /><br />Produced by Podcai Studio:</b><br /><b><a href="https://www.podcaistudio.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.podcaistudio.com/</a></b>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>690</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>aftermidnighttales,creepypasta,creepystories,darkfiction,darknarration,eeriestories,hauntedstories,horrorcommunity,horrornarration,horrorpodcast,midnighttales,nightmarestories,paranormalstories,scarystories,scarytales,spinetingling,supernaturalpodcast,thrillerpodcast,truehorror,unexplainedmysteries</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/f776ceac5d2676497185af840d0c6139.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>The Resonance of the Hollowed Aches</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-resonance-of-the-hollowed-aches--69163613</link><description><![CDATA[<b>This collection of stories examines the fragility of human emotion when confronted with supernatural forces in isolated or uncanny settings.In one tale, a search-and-rescue mission becomes deadly when a malicious entity disguises itself as a lost child, preying on the rescuer’s empathy.

It is then revealed that the creature is the real wife, whose soul had been trapped when the woman he knew was taken over by an external entity in the spring. In the end, the narrator accepts the monster as his true love, affirming his answer to the unsettling hypothetical question from earlier.</b><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:<br /><a href="https://linktr.ee/after_midnight_tales" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://linktr.ee/after_midnight_tales</a><br /><br />Produced by Podcai Studio:</b><br /><b><a href="https://www.podcaistudio.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.podcaistudio.com/</a></b>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>568</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>aftermidnighttales,creepypasta,creepystories,darkfiction,darknarration,eeriestories,hauntedstories,horrorcommunity,horrornarration,horrorpodcast,midnighttales,nightmarestories,paranormalstories,scarystories,scarytales,spinetingling,supernaturalpodcast,thrillerpodcast,truehorror,unexplainedmysteries</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/9063281157ae7bbe5bbc4ff94ec3676f.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>The Fifth Place at the Barnes Table</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-fifth-place-at-the-barnes-table--68874998</link><description><![CDATA[<b>The story is told from the perspective of a small-town cop, Officer Brims, in rural Iowa, investigating the disappearance of the Barnes family.

One narrator, claiming to be a Green Beret, recounts a mission in western Tennessee to neutralize a grotesque bio-engineered creature that escaped a hidden facility, causing mass casualties and triggering a military cover-up.

From the outset, the team encounters cryptic warnings from unnervingly silent locals and discovers ritualistic bundles of personal items near the mine, meant as offerings to ward something off.

The story concludes with the officer and the surviving children being rescued, though the disappearance of the initial crash victim’s body hints that the terror may not be over.</b><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:<br /><a href="https://linktr.ee/after_midnight_tales" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://linktr.ee/after_midnight_tales</a><br /><br />Produced by Podcai Studio:</b><br /><b><a href="https://www.podcaistudio.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.podcaistudio.com/</a></b>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>601</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>aftermidnighttales,creepypasta,creepystories,darkfiction,darknarration,eeriestories,hauntedstories,horrorcommunity,horrornarration,horrorpodcast,midnighttales,nightmarestories,paranormalstories,scarystories,scarytales,spinetingling,supernaturalpodcast,thrillerpodcast,truehorror,unexplainedmysteries</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/da41f67ffddb7f8b9ebbaa0acea58e85.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>The Custodians of Unnatural Fauna</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-custodians-of-unnatural-fauna--68842297</link><description><![CDATA[<b>Follows the supernatural experiences of a newly hired veterinary technician working the night shift.

The incidents begin with a neighbor’s sudden self-destruction, followed by a teacher whose expressionless behavior mirrors the same eerie pattern. As the deaths multiply, the narrator realizes that all of them had attended the same gathering. The story’s tension builds around a hunting trip prior to the barbecue, during which the narrator’s father shot a deer that was standing upright in an unnatural, almost human posture. That deer later became the source of the meat served at the event. As the infection spreads, the narrator’s father succumbs, becoming violently unrecognizable, and the final revelation comes when the narrator discovers a mutated, reanimated deer carcass stored in the family freezer. Its twitching, monstrous form implies the presence of a parasitic or biological entity from the woods—one that pushes its hosts toward either murderous aggression or compelled self-destruction.</b><br /><br /><b>You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:<br /><a href="https://linktr.ee/after_midnight_tales" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://linktr.ee/after_midnight_tales</a><br /><br />Produced by Podcai Studio:</b><br /><b><a href="https://www.podcaistudio.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.podcaistudio.com/</a></b>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/68841144</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Dec 2025 00:59:41 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/68841144/ancient_entity_possesses_brains_via_infected_meat.mp3" length="9817998" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/8a4d701f-c338-4230-9f49-76953949efe0/8a4d701f-c338-4230-9f49-76953949efe0.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/8a4d701f-c338-4230-9f49-76953949efe0/8a4d701f-c338-4230-9f49-76953949efe0.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/8a4d701f-c338-4230-9f49-76953949efe0/8a4d701f-c338-4230-9f49-76953949efe0.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>After Midnight Tales</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Recounts a disturbing horror narrative in which the narrator traces a series of violent, unexplained suicides in his small town back to a local barbecue where guests ate contaminated venison.

The story’s tension builds around a hunting trip prior to the barbecue, during which the narrator’s father shot a deer that was standing upright in an unnatural, almost human posture. That deer later became the source of the meat served at the event. As the infection spreads, the narrator’s father succumbs, becoming violently unrecognizable, and the final revelation comes when the narrator discovers a mutated, reanimated deer carcass stored in the family freezer. Its twitching, monstrous form implies the presence of a parasitic or biological entity from the woods—one that pushes its hosts toward either murderous aggression or compelled self-destruction.</b><br /><br /><b>You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:<br /><a href="https://linktr.ee/after_midnight_tales" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://linktr.ee/after_midnight_tales</a><br /><br />Produced by Podcai Studio:</b><br /><b><a href="https://www.podcaistudio.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.podcaistudio.com/</a></b>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>614</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>aftermidnighttales,creepypasta,creepystories,darkfiction,darknarration,eeriestories,hauntedstories,horrorcommunity,horrornarration,horrorpodcast,midnighttales,nightmarestories,paranormalstories,scarystories,scarytales,spinetingling,supernaturalpodcast,thrillerpodcast,truehorror,unexplainedmysteries</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/3ba9a962242499a15a0cd8aa2f9ceb05.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>The Whistle Game at Camp Grinlow</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-whistle-game-at-camp-grinlow--68841147</link><description><![CDATA[<b>Recounts a chilling story about three childhood friends who return to their abandoned summer camp, Camp Grinlow, hoping to relive the memories of their youth.

What begins as a routine job quickly turns terrifying when he encounters supernatural occurrences: signs inexplicably reappear, strange footprints appear along the trails, and unsettling warnings are broadcast over his radio.
