39. Dark October - Urban Legends

In this chilling episode of Beyond the Ferns, we peel back the curtain on three of the most haunting urban legends whispered across America — each with a face you’ll never forget. First, we explore the unnerving encounters with the Black-Eyed Children — pale, emotionless kids who appear at night, asking to come inside. Their eyes? Pure black. Their presence? Utterly wrong. Are they lost souls, alien hybrids, or something far more sinister? Next, we step into the fog-filled streets to meet The Smiling Man, a figure seen dancing under flickering streetlights at 2 a.m. — moving in jerky, inhuman motions, his grin stretching too wide to be real. Those who’ve seen him say it’s the kind of smile that freezes you in place. Finally, we end with a timeless ghost story out of Chicago — Resurrection Mary. The vanishing hitchhiker who leaves drivers shaken and forever changed. A woman in white, searching for a ride home along Archer Avenue, returning each night to Resurrection Cemetery. From paranormal folklore to eyewitness accounts, this episode dives deep into the origins, theories, and spine-tingling experiences that keep these legends alive. Learn more about your ad choices.
