This week on Chambers of the Occult, we unravel two stories soaked in terror, one beneath the dazzling glow of carnival lights, and the other behind a child's bedroom door.

J takes us deep into the twisted origin of Grady Stiles Jr., better known as Lobster Boy. From his 1937 birth in Pittsburgh to a family legacy steeped in ectrodactyly, abuse, and sideshow fame, Part One of this true crime chronicle is a haunting look at a boy raised for the stage but forged by violence. Behind the freak show smiles and applause was a child hardened by pain, destined to become both a performer and a predator. You’ll hear how his legacy began, not with murder but with manipulation, trauma, and a growing thirst for control.

Then Kai pulls back the covers on the Tallman Family Haunting, a terrifying 1980s case from Wisconsin where a secondhand bunk bed became the centerpiece of a supernatural nightmare. With glowing red eyes, disembodied voices, and shadowy figures creeping through the walls. As the terror escalated, the Tallman's did the unthinkable, fled their home, leaving everything behind. Because when evil moves in… sometimes the only way to survive is to run.

One tale begins under the big top.
Another ends under the bed.
And both will leave you questioning how close terror really sleeps.
