·1 hr 21 min·5 clips

Siblings Kristen and Will explore 'D' urban legends, from devil's chairs to ghost towns, with a surprise Zach Bagans appearance.

In this episode of Guide to the Unknown, hosts Kristen and Will explore urban legends starting with the letter 'D'. They begin by setting a campfire-story vibe, humorously invoking paranormal investigator Zach Bagans. Kristen discusses the Devil's Chair, a type of graveside bench with superstitions like leaving beer that disappears overnight, and the Devil's Rocking Chair, which Zach Bagans owns and is linked to an exorcism case. The hosts critique the Warrens, noting their negative reputation and contractual protection in The Conjuring films. Will covers the Dybbuk box, revealing its origin as a creative writing exercise by Kevin Maness and its connection to Bagans and Post Malone. Kristen shares the legend of Doveland, Wisconsin, a town that supposedly vanished without any historical records, leading to theories about the Mandela effect. Will also touches on Dudley Town, Connecticut, a ghost town with a rumored curse. The episode includes personal updates: Will regains control of his podcast Blackwood and announces a TV series deal with Screambox. They promote their Patreon, The Netherworld Dispatch, and engage in lighthearted banter about meeting Zach Bagans. The tone is conversational, blending creepy folklore with comedic skepticism and sibling dynamics.
