Your Guide Through the Darkness

For over five years, Carman Carrion has been exploring the shadows - the legends that haunt us, the places that terrify us, the crimes that shock us, and the stories that keep us awake at night.

As the host of four acclaimed podcasts, Carman has built a reputation for meticulous research, compelling storytelling, and an unflinching willingness to examine the darkest aspects of human nature and supernatural folklore.

THE PODCASTS

FREAKY FOLKLORE

Exploring the World's Most Elusive Monsters and Enigmatic Cryptids

From Bigfoot to the Bell Witch, from ancient legends to modern urban myths, Freaky Folklore dives deep into the stories that have terrified humanity for generations. Each episode examines not just the legend, but the cultural context, the historical evidence, and the psychological reasons these tales continue to captivate us.

DESTINATION TERROR

Investigating Haunted Locations and Paranormal Hotspots

Join Carman on a journey to the world's most terrifying destinations. From haunted hotels to cursed forests, from abandoned asylums to sites of mass tragedy, Destination Terror explores the places where darkness lingers and the brave (or foolish) travelers who dare to visit them.

CARMAN'S CRYPT

Original Horror Fiction in the Spirit of Classic Anthology Shows

Every week, the crypt doors creak open to reveal a new tale of terror. Haunted objects, vengeful spirits, psychological thrillers, cosmic horrors - these original stories are crafted to unsettle, disturb, and terrify. Think Tales from the Crypt meets The Twilight Zone, with Carman's signature dark storytelling.

DEADLY INTENT

True Crime Examining the Psychology of Murder

Intent. It's what separates accident from murder, passion from premeditation. Deadly Intent goes beyond the typical true crime podcast to examine the "why" behind history's most disturbing cases. Through psychological analysis and meticulous investigation, each episode explores what drives ordinary people to commit extraordinary evil.

THE BOOKS

Carman is the co-author of three published books exploring folklore, cryptids, and supernatural traditions:

📚 Freaky Folklore: Terrifying Tales of the World's Most Elusive Monsters and Enigmatic Cryptids

📚 Appalachian Folklore Unveiled: Mysterious Happenings of Folk Spirits and Mystic Shades from the Ancient Foothills

📚 Creepy Campfire Stories: Spine-Chilling Tales to Scare and Share

THE MISSION

Carman's work exists at the intersection of education and entertainment. Whether exploring ancient folklore, investigating true crime, or crafting original horror fiction, the goal is always the same: to understand the darkness.

Why do certain legends persist across cultures and centuries? What drives someone to commit murder? How do our deepest fears shape the stories we tell? These are the questions that drive every episode, every story, every investigation.

This isn't just content for content's sake. It's an exploration of human nature - our fears, our fascinations, our capacity for both evil and resilience. It's about honoring victims, understanding perpetrators, preserving folklore, and respecting the power of a well-told story.
