In April 2010, a family from Indiana opened their home to a young girl, believing they were offering her a second chance at life. Natalia Grace was six years old, according to her paperwork—a Ukrainian orphan with a rare form of dwarfism. At first glance, she was tiny and vulnerable—the perfect match for what the Barnett family had hoped for in an adoption.

But the story that followed would become a nightmare

Within months of welcoming Natalia into their home, Kristine and Michael Barnett began to question everything about her. Was she really six years old, as her Ukrainian birth certificate claimed? Or was she much older—perhaps even a grown woman masquerading as a child? What started as a hopeful adoption spiraled into allegations of deceit, violence, and abandonment, culminating in one of the most bizarre legal cases in recent history. So get comfortable, take a listen, and brace yourself—the truth is darker than you think. This is True Terror on Tap.

Somewhere out there, beneath the pale light of the moon, something moves. It’s silent, patient, and ancient. It’s been watching us for centuries, slipping through the cracks of our stories, our fears, and our nightmares.

You tell yourself it’s just folklore. An ancient explanation for death and disease, nothing more. But why, then, do the stories never go away? Why do they creep into every culture, every time, every dark corner of human history? Maybe it’s because myths aren’t born from nothing. Maybe it’s because, deep down, we know… they’ve always been with us."

So tonight, as the shadows gather, we ask: Are they just stories? Or are they still out there, walking among us? "So lock your doors, keep your windows shut, and whatever you do, never invite a stranger in—no matter how charming they might seem. This is True Terror on Tap!

"America's national parks are beautiful places to escape from the everyday grind. But behind the serene landscapes and breathtaking vistas lies a darker, more chilling truth—an unsettling number of people have vanished without explanation in these wild places."

"Each year, visitors from all walks of life—hikers, families, experienced outdoorsmen—disappear into thin air. No signs of struggle. No clear tracks. Often, no remains are ever found. Even more disturbing? The patterns. Many vanish near water sources or rugged terrain like boulder fields. Clothing, when recovered, is often pristine, untouched by the harsh elements that would tear it apart."

"And in many cases, the search for answers is obstructed by another unsettling fact: the National Park Service does not maintain a centralized database of missing persons in its parks.

"What is happening in these wild places? Are there forces at work beyond our understanding?

"So grab a hot toddy, pull your blanket tight, and be happy you decided to stay inside—this is 'True Terror on Tap.'"

For decades, people have whispered about strange visitors—beings that appear human, but something’s just…off. They show up unexpectedly, like the infamous Men in Black, and always at the worst possible time. The Black-Eyed Kids are no different. They wear the mask of innocence, but something about them feels unnatural, almost as if they’re mimicking human behavior without fully understanding it.

Today, we’re diving deeper into the unsettling mystery of these dark-eyed figures. Are they just children—or could they be something more? Like the Men in Black, do they come from another dimension or serve some hidden purpose? And what is it about their presence that sends waves of fear down the spine of anyone who encounters them?

“Lock your doors, pour a drink, and prepare for nightmares… this is True Terror on Tap.”
