BONUS EPISODE: The Ghost Story of Chicago's Devil Baby

This is what you're missing.

Every Saturday over on the Supercast, Yvette sits down and tells you a proper ghost story.

No investigation, no crew, just her and a tale to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and this week, we're letting you in on one.

In the winter of 1913, a rumour tore through the tenement streets of Chicago.

Behind the walls of Hull House, something was being kept hidden away: a child born with cloven hooves, two sharp horns, black ink-drop eyes, and a whip-like tail. They called it the Devil Baby, and within a week hundreds were pressing against the railings on Halsted Street, staring up at that second-floor window.

But the rumour was only the beginning. The house already held its dead: a pale woman waiting at the glass, footsteps pacing the halls at night, blankets folded by unseen hands. And after the crowds came, something woke hungry. A thin, mewling cry rising from between the floorboards at three in the morning, lasting exactly thirteen minutes. A small, low shape dragging itself toward a locked door. A wet trail leading up the stairs to that same cold window.

Yvette tells it the way they've always told it in Chicago for over a century: lights low, after dark.

This is exactly what you get every single Saturday on the Supercast: a brand new ghost story every week, plus main episodes a full day early.

So if you ever find yourself looking up at that window on a cold Chicago night... walk on. Don't stop. Don't stare. Because whatever is standing behind that glass might just stare back.

Goodnight. Sleep well. Or at least, try to.
