Monthly Spooky | Evil Ghost Baby Exorcism, Boston Skull Mystery, and the New England Vampire Panic

A reported ghost-baby exorcism in Galway meets a skull found in concrete in Boston. In this February 2026 Monthly Spooky, Henrique and Michelle discuss those headlines alongside a Rhode Island pilot's UFO report and the hunt for an escaped toucan in Las Vegas. The conversation then turns to the New England vampire panic, when tuberculosis, grief, and superstition shaped fears of the returning dead. Strange news and American folklore share the episode, with paranormal claims kept distinct from established history. Why do communities reach for monsters when explanations fail them?
