Our Names are Trevor and Riley. We are from West Michigan and we are best friends who have had a love for the things that go bump in the night for years, after many years of talking about doing a podcast and going out and investigating the paranormal ourselves. We Finally did it. Thus What Goes Bump In the Night was born in 2019. Since the creation of the podcast we have been all over the US investigating the paranormal and covering the spookiest creepypastas and urban legends we can find Through our time doing this, we covered a wide range of topics from local urban legends to mythical creatures and bizarre events that have occurred over the globe. So if you believe or want to believe in the things we can’t explain, we ask you to keep your ears and eyes open for what really goes bump in the night.
If you have your own paranormal stories or a creepypasta you would like us to share or be featured on the podcast please email us at Whatgoesbumppodcast@gmail.com
Feel free to send donations to help the podcast to our Cashapp $Whatgoesbump or Venmoo @whatgoesbump

For thousands of years, humans across every culture on Earth have believed the dead don’t truly leave. In this episode of What Goes Bump In The Night, we explore the ancient origins of ghost belief—from prehistoric burial rituals over 60,000 years ago to the detailed spirit traditions of ancient Egypt, Rome, China, and beyond. Discover why early civilisations feared and respected the dead, how ghost stories spread across the world, and the psychological and emotional reasons these beliefs have survived every generation of humanity.
Are ghosts simply stories born from grief and fear… or is there something deeper that has followed humanity since the beginning? This episode uncovers the global history, cultural connections, and chilling truth behind one of mankind’s oldest and most universal mysteries.
Join us as we uncover the history, the science, and the unexplained encounters behind one of the most unsettling paranormal theories ever proposed.
Because sometimes… the past doesn’t stay buried.

The Stone Tape Theory
What if ghosts aren’t spirits at all… but recordings?
In this chilling episode of What Goes Bump In The Night, we explore the terrifying possibility that the past never truly disappears. Deep within old stone buildings, forgotten halls, and ancient walls, something may still remain — not alive, but not gone.
This is the Stone Tape Theory — the idea that moments of intense emotion, fear, and tragedy can become embedded into the very structure of stone itself, replaying decades… even centuries later.
Are these echoes the voices of forgotten souls?
Or is the building itself remembering?
Join us as we uncover the history, the science, and the unexplained encounters behind one of the most unsettling paranormal theories ever proposed.
Because sometimes… the past doesn’t stay buried.

Cemeteries Are Dying — And We’re to Blame give us a bio
Cemeteries are disappearing, and the dead are being forgotten—but not because we stopped dying. We stopped visiting, stopped marking, stopped standing in the spaces meant to hold memory. In their place, ashes are uploaded, names are stored behind screens, and digital memorials replace the graves we once walked among.
Tonight, we explore why traditional burial is fading, how cremation and digital remembrance are reshaping death, and what we lose when we leave the dead behind. Step with us into the silence, the shadows, and the spaces where something else begins to linger.
