    Not that long ago Indigenous children across the Americas were torn from their families, their traditions, and their very identities. Behind the doors of residential schools, they faced relentless attempts to reshape their minds and erase their spirits—all in the name of 'civilization.'But what was life truly like for those taken? What scars still linger?

    Today, we open a chapter in history that many tried to bury—a story of resilience, pain, and the fight to hold onto culture in the face of erasure. Welcome to 'Nightmares of the Americas: Indigenous Tales.' This is the beginning of our exploration of residential schools and the lasting legacy of assimilation.

  • Huay Chivo
    Nov 12 2024

    Send us a text

    In the Yucatan peninsula there’s a creature that lurks in the jungles that goes way back to the Mayan empire. I’m talking about the Huay Chivo, this is a shape-shifting shaman who takes on the form of a half-man, half-goat. Its body is covered in thick black fur, its legs resemble those of a goat or horse, and its eyes burn a haunting red, piercing through even the darkest nights."

    "The Huay Chivo is a legendary creature found in Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize, particularly within the Yucatec Maya traditions. It is described as a shaman who can transform into a half-man, half-goat being, often characterized by glowing red eyes, thick black fur, and the ability to change into various animals. The creature is associated with dark sorcery and is believed to cause illness or misfortune with a glance. Reports often describe it as preying on livestock and creating fear within communities.

    In this week’s episode we'll take you to the isolated wilderness of Peru, where Indigenous protection agents face not just natural threats, but paranormal ones as they navigate the territories of isolated tribes. Hear about the unsettling phenomena surrounding an abandoned outpost and the haunting encounters that hint at spirits guarding their ancestral lands.

    We also journey along New Mexico’s infamous U.S. Route 491, formerly known as Route 666 or "The Devil's Highway." This stretch of road is steeped in both supernatural lore and the painful reality of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) crisis. We'll explore the chilling history and current tragedies that haunt this highway and discuss the ongoing fight for justice by affected communities.

    That’s the latest news around Turtle Island this week. From supernatural encounters in Peru’s wilderness to the ongoing MMIW crisis along Route 491, these stories highlight the realities facing Indigenous communities today.

  • The Curse of the Inca Part 2
    Oct 29 2024

    Send us a text

    In our last episode, we explored the rise and fall of the mighty Inca Empire, the capture and execution of its last emperor, and the betrayal that forever changed the course of history. But his death wasn’t the end—it was just the beginning. According to legend, as the emperor drew his final breath, he cursed those who had betrayed him and the sacred gold they had stolen from his people.

    Francisco Pizarro, a determined and ruthless conquistador, captured the Inca emperor during their fateful meeting in the town of Cajamarca. Despite promising to free him after receiving an enormous ransom of gold and silver, Pizarro betrayed , sentencing him to death after a mock trial.

    On August 29, 1533, the emperor was executed, strangled to death by garrote. But according to legend, before he died, he uttered a final curse—a warning to those who had desecrated the sacred treasures of the Inca.

    _"The gold you have taken will bring you only death. No man shall prosper from the treasures of the Sun."_ — Curse

    In this final episode of the curse of the Incas, we’ll uncover the dark fate of Francisco Pizarro and his men, explore the eerie stories surrounding the lost treasure of the Incas, and dive into the modern-day accounts of those who have tried—and failed—to recover the Inca’s ransom.

  • The Curse of the Inca Part 1
    Oct 22 2024

    Send us a text

    Today, we’re taking you into the heart of a legend that stretches back nearly 500 years—a tale of betrayal, greed, and a curse said to haunt all who dared steal the riches of the Inca Empire. That's right folks were talking about the curse of the Incas.
    This was the Incan Empire, temples made of gold, sitting under the sun and stretching across the Andean mountains. The whole place was massive. Then the Spanish conquistadors showed up. It was two completely different worlds colliding. Blood everywhere, a king gets betrayed, and then... well, that’s when the curse begins."
    But before we dive into the curse itself, we need to understand the story behind it—the rise of the mighty Inca civilization, the tragedy of its last emperor, Atahualpa, and the ruthless conquistador who changed history: Francisco Pizarro.
    We're kickin it old school in this deep dive into the history of the Inca!

  • Chenoo
    Oct 8 2024

    Send us a text

    In the frozen wilderness of the northeastern woodlands, where the howling winds cut through the trees and the snow piles high, there lurks a creature of unimaginable terror: the Chenoo. Towering above the treetops, with gaunt, skeletal limbs and eyes hollowed by eternal hunger, the Chenoo was once human—transformed by dark magic or cursed by a bitter heart. With every breath, its icy heart pulses with an insatiable desire for flesh, and its scream is said to be so chilling that it can kill anyone who hears it. Unlike any other monster, the Chenoo is a reminder that in the coldest reaches of the world, even the kindest soul can lose their humanity and become a predator driven by primal rage and an unquenchable appetite. The Chenoo is not just a creature of the wilderness—it is a haunting reflection of the dangers lurking in the shadows of our own darkest instincts.

    Now, what is this creature, you might ask? The Chenoo, also known as the Giwakwa or Kiwakwa, is a towering, emaciated giant—a human, cursed and transformed through dark magic into a terrifying beast. It’s not just their enormous size that makes them frightening; it’s their insatiable hunger for human flesh. With fangs so large they’ve been known to eat their own lips in hunger, these creatures have been said to haunt the dense forests and icy wilderness, especially during the harsh winter months.

    One of the most unsettling aspects of the Chenoo is that it was once human. The legends tell of ordinary people—men and women—who are cursed or transformed into Chenoos, losing their humanity as they grow larger and more ravenous. Unlike other giants in folklore, these aren’t mindless monsters but tortured souls, driven mad by an internal, icy heart of pure evil. And believe me, once they set their sights on a victim, there’s no escape. Their frozen, hollow screams can kill any living thing within earshot.
