So why did it take over two years for people to realize she had died? (No One Noticed She Was Dead) *** A castle in Scotland is so cursed that it has continued for several generations. (The Centuries Old Curse of Fyvie Castle) *** Year after year a 1950 photo from a German newspaper has continued to circulate amongst Ufologists and UFO enthusiasts. The story claims to show a short extraterrestrial humanoid standing next to two full-sized men. So why hasn’t Germany admitted to the photo’s validity? (The Little Green Man That Refused to Die) *** “The call is coming from inside the house.” These eight words have been uttered by countless children, and mark one of the most popular urban legends of all time. This legend, unfortunately, is rooted in a real unsolved murder case from 1950.

No A.I. voices are ever used in the show. IN THIS EPISODE: In 1986 there was a surge in the number of people entering the Himalayan mountains, and never leaving. Those who did escape reported hearing a loud ringing alarm, so loud they had to cover their ears and run, and even then suffered severe or complete hearing loss. They may not have known it at the time, but they had just come into contact with SCP-6789, also known as Siren Head. (Siren Head) *** The coldest of cold cases for law enforcement in Idaho is the disappearance of Lillian Richey – and it’s also the most baffling, as Lillian disappeared from within her own home. (The Lillian Richey Vanishing) *** Many people consider Harry Price to be the first recognized ghost hunter in modern history. And he made a name for himself rather quickly. But then, if you are the first person to investigate the Borley Rectory, the most haunted building in England, you deserve to have your name remembered. (The Original Ghost Hunter: Harry Price) *** Grocery shopping is such a mundane activity that all families take part in it at some point, so it wasn’t a big deal when 11 year old Michaela and her mom went grocery shopping, picking up dinner for their Sunday night. Little did they know, they had caught the eye of a psychopath.  (The Cheshire Murders) *** A family in Chicago was terrified when voices began emanating from the wall of their little girl’s bedroom! And the story has an odd twist, in that somehow, unbeknownst to me, I, your Weird Darkness narrator, Darren Marlar, and up right smack dab in the middle of it! (The Wall Spoke) *** 
In 1906, Clara Germana Cele, an orphaned 16-year-old girl living in South Africa, had her life changed forever. According to members of the clergy at St. Michael's Mission in Natal, the girl, known as Germana, sold her soul to the devil, and he immediately possessed her body and began causing havoc.

Electric chair? Hanging? Firing squad? Lethal injection? Or perhaps something a bit more historic like guillotine, or even stoning. But I’m guessing the last thing you’d think of for a method of execution would be death by golden shower. (Death by Urination) *** Had Daniel Lambert been alive today, he would’ve carted his more than 700 pounds around in a motorized scooter, as too many morbidly obese people choose to do. But in the early 1800s, such amenities weren’t available, because there was no market for them. Lambert was a true anomaly. And people couldn’t get enough of him. (Daniel Lambert: Fat Man On Display) *** A woman describes how frightened she was when working in a school after hours – so frightened that now, over 23-years-later, she still has trouble sleeping due to the fear she experienced. (Horrible, No-good, Very Bad Schoolhouse) *** An eerie painting spooked many who just saw it. Those who owned it fared worse. Could this piece, painted in 1972, truly be haunted? (The Hands Resist Him: Haunted Painting) *** From murdering children to drinking blood, Peter Kürten was "the king of the sexual perverts" and perhaps the worst serial killer ever. So it’s no surprise he would be tagged with the word “vampire” to describe him.

Weird Darkness is narrated by professional full-time voice actor Darren Marlar. No A.I. voices are ever used in the show.IN THIS EPISODE: It's been said that kids are more open to the supernatural, perhaps because their minds haven't been closed off to the possibilities that ghosts really exist. That makes stories about childhood hauntings even creepier. The real stories I'll be sharing in this episode include ghosts encountered by kids of all ages. The stories might convince you that the nightlight your child insists stay on in the bedroom, needs to stay on for a reason.  (Haunted Children) *** There's something inherently chilling about old orphanages. Maybe it's the fact that scary orphanage stories abound - after all, the buildings are associated with heartbroken and lonely children. And not all of these tales concern the living. Plenty of real life ghost stories feature orphanages filled with restless and vengeful child spirits. (Orphanage Ghosts) *** And what should you do if your child says they see a ghost? Do you tell them there is no such thing? Do you encourage them to believe more fully? What’s the right thing to do? A couple of child psychologists have a few ideas on what you can do.

And it happened over several centuries. We’ll look at the terrifying times of witch trials around the world – and the thousands of deaths that resulted from them. (Deadly Witch Panics Through The Ages) *** A medium gives some advice and her own opinion about reaching out to passed loved ones. (Grief: The Paranormal and the Wind Phone) *** Gangsters – they were gritty, tough, terrifying… you never wanted to cross them in even the slightest way. But on occasion they could be a bit odd, eccentric – even downright bizarre in some of their actions and ways of thinking. Not that I’d ever point that to them in their face.

HOUR ONE: All families have their ups and downs. However, when you find a clan where an infanticide trial is arguably the least worst thing to happen to them, it’s safe to say you’ve found one very special household… the Mabbitt family. 
(The Confusing Disappearance of Luella Mabbitt) *** A woman moves into a home where the past three residents went insane. What could possibly go wrong? (The House With The Unfortunate Past) *** Bartholomew Roberts, better known as the in famous pirate Black Bart, operated in the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean from 1719 to 1722. He was easily the most successful pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy, having been known to have captured over 400 ships in his day. But could it be true that he was actually forced to become a pirate against his will? (Was Black Bart Forced To Become a Pirate?) *** If you could choose a superpower, what would it be? Invisibility? Flight? Super strength or speed? What about X-ray vision like Superman? Would you believe there was a man in the 20th century who did have x-ray vision, without technology to do it? He had a few other superpowers as well! (The Man With The X-Ray Eyes)==========HOUR TWO: I’m pretty sure that unless you were born of a virgin, died, and then rose from the grave three days later, no one has had any real success at bringing people back from the underworld. But that’s exactly what people who practice necromancy try to do – wake the dead. They can’t be successful at it though, can they? (Raising The Dead) *** The people of Japan have a myth of a terrible snake-like creature with death-dealing powers called a Tsuchinoko. But unlike many legends, there have been modern sightings of this bizarre cryptid. Is it real? If so, what could it be? (Is The Legendary Tsuchinoko Real?) *** At the age of only 14, George Stinney Jr. was the youngest person in history to be put to death in the electric chair. Then, seventy years later he was proven innocent. (The Execution of an Innocent) ***They were cigar-shaped, glowed red and could turn on a dime. Which ruled out even the most sophisticated rockets of the time. What is it that World War II fighter pilots were seeing in the skies flying with them? (The UFOs of World War 2) ==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: It was the slaying that shocked Australia. Sometime on the night of December 26th, 1898, Michael Murphy and his two younger sisters were slaughtered as they traveled back from Gatton in southeastern Australia. Their murders prompted a massive investigation—yet the crime remains unsolved to this day. (Australia’s Unsolved Gatton Murders) *** A snowy November day, a bus full of students, and an icy lake. It was about to become the day of the worst school-related accident in Washington state history.

We hope we can finally find the evidence we are not alone in the Universe. We eagerly await our first official contact with extraterrestrials, but nothing ever happens. Sometimes we learn an odd signal has been picked up in space and we get our hopes up again, only to be told later it was nothing more than a neutron star with a very large magnetic field, throwing off the bursts, or something similar. So, where are the aliens we want to hear from and possibly meet? If we assume that we are not the only intelligent species in the universe, then they must be out there.

Weird Darkness is narrated by professional full-time voice actor Darren Marlar. No A.I. voices are ever used in the show. IN THIS EPISODE: True crime lovers will most readily admit that the strange cases are the juiciest. Some cases are bizarre, some are odd, others can be brutal… but whatever your preference, I’ve got some of the weirdest ones to share with you. (Strange Stories of True Crime) *** It seems most all states or territories in northern America have their own version of a big, hairy, bipedal creature we’ve all come to call Bigfoot. Ohio has their own, which has been dubbed the “Grassman.” (Buckeye Bigfoot of Ohio) *** Residents of Christchurch and the surrounding areas of Canterbury in New Zealand would suffer two huge earthquakes within six months – one September 2010, then another February 2011.  And if the hundreds of souls who perished wasn’t enough, it appears the earth cracking open as it did unleashed something evil from the bowels of hell. (The Earthquake That Released a Demon) *** Sadly, child abuse and murder is not only a modern crime – it has been happening since the beginning of human history. But some cases are so severe or brutal, they rise to the surface and point out just how evil some people can be – such as Elizabeth Brownrigg, who was hanged for her crimes – and deservedly so. (The Inhumane Actions of Elizabeth Brownrigg) *** Slicked back hair, black cape, long white canines, maybe a mesmerizing stare… the image of the vampire has become iconic, if not a bit predictable. But bloodsucking creatures around the world aren’t all the same – and while the traditional look of a vampire might frighten some, there are much more terrifying versions to fear in the night.

Would you believe… an alien/vampire hybrid? It’s just one of several conspiracy theories regarding vampire bloodlines – and the family trees go back for centuries! (Vampire Bloodlines) *** Today, the fully restored hotel creates an ambiance that has transcended time while providing all the amenities that the modern-day traveler requires. Surrounded by 15 acres of formal gardens and nature trails, the hotel offers 72 guest rooms, many with their balcony, and 12 luxury suites throughout the building. The New Moon Spa features a full menu of treatments, a salon, and a wellness program. And… a few ghosts. (Hauntings At The Crescent Hotel) *** Exorcists are trained to deal with some of the darkest, most evil entities to ever exist – they are casting out demons, after all. But even in those situations, there are cases that rise to the top as the most terrifying and disturbing… with one even worse than the ‘Exorcist’ film would portray. (The Creepiest Exorcism) *** If you feel a loved one is demonically possessed, and you’ve made sure it’s not a physical or mental condition causing the issue, the logical next step is to find a priest to perform an exorcism. But not just any priest is allowed by the Catholic Church to perform such rights… and those who are allowed are dwindling in number, with fewer and fewer clergy stepping forward to take on such a role. So what is the Vatican to do? Easy… start offering classes!

Weird Darkness is narrated by professional full-time voice actor Darren Marlar. No A.I. voices are ever used in the show. IN THIS EPISODE: very part of the world seems to have its own share of cryptids – and sometimes, creatures that are unique to that area. For example, along with the ubiquitous Bigfoot, you might have heard about North Carolina’s “Moon-Eyed People”, or “The Wampus Cat”. But I’m guessing you’ve not heard about what some call “The Vampire Beast” of Bladenboro. (The Beast of Bladenboro) *** The story of Isabella Guzman went viral on TikTok six years after she was convicted of the murder of her mother. During the trial she claimed she was abused… then she pleaded insanity. But one good thing did come from the trial… a serious discussion about mental illness. (Isabella Guzman: The Viral Teenage Killer) *** If you’re a proponent of execution – no judgement here, just go with me – the only way to see that through is to have someone push the button, flip the switch, pull the trigger, or whatever method is being used in order to snuff out the life of the soon-to-be-dead inmate. Someone has to get their hands dirty, metaphorically speaking. And even if you think you’d have the stomach and determination to do the job – let me ask you this. Would you be okay with literally getting your hands bloody? Would you survive as a Medieval executioner, using an axe to chop off your victims heads? What would life be like with that job? (Life As a Medieval Executioner) *** We’ve all heard of cryptids like Bigfoot, Mothman, the Loch Ness Monster, the Jersey Devil, the Dogman, and so on. But have you ever heard of a cryptid that isn’t flesh and blood, but were made of plants?

No A.I. voices are ever used in the show.IN THIS EPISODE: “The Luckiest Man in Denv is a science fiction novella written by C.M. Kornbluth, first published in 1953. The story follows the life of a man named George who is born with an extraordinary luck that follows him throughout his life. He experiences various events and encounters, both good and bad, but always manages to come out on top. The novella explores themes of luck, fate, and the human condition. It raises questions about the nature of chance and how it affects our lives. The story also touches on the idea of the "self-fulfilling prophecy," where an individual's beliefs and expectations can shape their reality. Through George's experiences, Kornbluth presents a philosophical and humorous take on the concept of luck and its role in shaping our lives. The novella has been praised for its unique blend of humor and introspection, making it a thought-provoking read for fans of science fiction and beyond.” – TextopianSOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Luckiest Man in Denv” by C.M.

That is just the beginning of the strange and unsettling case of Charlotte Pollis. (The Disappearance of Charlotte Pollis) *** There was a time when people would get married in cemeteries – not because they were goth or because they loved the macabre surroundings, but because they felt it would keep them from getting sick. (Plague Weddings) *** The five pointed star is ubiquitous. We learn to draw it in grade school, teachers draw it on our test papers to show we’ve done a good job – but turn the star upside down and suddenly it becomes mysterious, and strange… it become a pentagram. Why does the pentagram hold so much power over some people? And what are the secrets it holds? (Secrets of the Pentagram) *** It’s a supernatural creature that appears at night to travelers. If you see a white one, it is there to protect you from harm and help you along your journey. If you see a black one, it is there to kill you.

This supposedly allows the scryer to gain information they may not have access to normally inside their conscious mind. Often the object used for this is the often seen, but often misunderstood crystal ball. (Little Known Secrets Of The Crystal Ball) *** 
Five hundred years ago, Europe saw its first rhinoceros in more than a thousand years. Well, sort of. In reality, it was an accidental fake.

(What If I Only Think I’m Real?) *** When it comes to mythical monsters, the dragon seems to have never lost its celebrity. Dragons have always been popular – not just on multi-million-dollar cable channels and blockbuster movies, but in games, posters, artwork, and tales young and old, generation over generation, in just about every culture. (Dragons and Dragon Kings) *** An extra-marital affair in 1812 resulted in a pregnancy, and a murder. And evidence of the term “sins of the father” also comes into play. (A Most Horrible Murder in Hankelow) *** From "The Beast" to "The Red Ripper" to "The Candy Man," child murderers might be the most terrifying people to ever walk the Earth.

IN THIS EPISODE: A child walking into their parent’s room in the middle of the night is something every parent who has ever had a child has experienced on multiple occasions – but one parent’s experience ended with a dark twist. (The Child Not Really There) *** Georgette Bauerdorf was a young socialite with a grand future – when her life was cut short in the dead of the night. Her screams went unanswered, and her murder became a mystery. And Georgette’s murder remains unsolved almost 80 years later. (The Unsolved Murder of Georgette Bauerdorf) *** The bat is a mysterious creature. To some, such as the Chinese, it is considered a symbol of luck. To others such as the Europeans and Americans, it is seen as something scary. And of course horror films see it as the flying form of Bela Lugosi.

(Killer Kids) *** Are there traits you can look for in a child that might indicate if they will become a killer later in life? We’ll look at three traits believed to be indicators. (Predicting a Killer) *** You can teach a dog to roll over and fetch. You can teach a cat to use the toilet. Lions and tigers have been trained to jump through hoops of fire to thrill spectators at circuses worldwide. And even a gorilla has been taught some basic sign language. But would you believe there was once a horse that could do arithmetic? (The Horse Who Could Do Math) *** William Stead was a newspaper editor and journalist in the 1890s. His beat wasn’t the fashion scene or stock market, nor was it the arts district or even politics. He covered the paranormal. And it wasn’t hard to come up with stories, because all he had to do was to call up someone from the underworld for an exclusive interview. (Words From Beyond The Grave) *** If you move into an old house, it always feels awkward at first. After a while though, it begins to feel like home. For some people, if the house is a bit older, perhaps that odd feeling of being watched never really goes away. But if your house was built 270 years ago, you probably should just assume you’ve got a spook or two already residing there before you sign the mortgage.

For centuries, a triangular portion of Lake Michigan has been ground zero for sunken ships, disappearing crews, and vanishing aircraft. As if these incidents aren't creepy enough, what is now known as the Lake Michigan Triangle is also notorious for UFO sightings and strange lights appearing on the horizon. (The Lake Michigan Paranormal Triangle) *** There’s a beast living in the woodlands outside of Rhinelander, Wisconsin – and its description is beyond belief. I’ll introduce you to the hodag!

We’ll look at her haunting story and tragic death. (The Tragic Death of Sylvia Plath) *** It’s approximately four hundred years old, full of colorful illustrations of plants, flowers, the stars, women, medicinal herbs, and text… yet no one has been able to decipher exactly what the Voynich Manuscript is for or what it says. (The Voynich Manuscript) *** The disappearance of a person is a tragedy no matter how you look at it. When we first read about missing people we usually automatically assume the most logical explanation was what happened. But what if we’re wrong? We’ll look at the vanishing of Claude and Sue Shelton.

We’ll look inside the mind of the sadistic murderess, Katherine Knight. (Katherine Knight: Cannibal Killer) *** Image is everything, as they say – and nowadays it seems the perfect image is to either have all of the right curves in all of the right places – or to be stick thin. But imagine being so thin that you could pass for a living skeleton. Such was the life of Claude Ambroise Seurat. (The Living Skeleton) *** Essie Dunbar was 30 years old when she had an epileptic seizure that left her doctor certain she was dead. However, when her sister arrived at her funeral and asked to see her one last time, the story goes that Dunbar sat right up inside her coffin. (The Premature Burial of Essie Dunbar) *** Did King Solomon possess a magical ring – given to him directly from heaven – with which he could control Astaroth, a Prince of Hell?  (The Ring That Could Control Demons) *** Two men are recovering after surgery in their hospital beds in two different hospitals, two years apart – one in 2017 and the other in 2019. Both men suddenly disappear from their beds without a trace – until later, when both men are found dead, in the ceiling of their respective hospitals. Two different men. Two different hospitals. Two years apart. Both disappear and are later found in the hospital ceilings. What happened? (The Bodies In The Ceiling) *** But first… although not the first high-profile claim of alien abduction, the extraordinary case of Betty Andreasson is considered by many to be one of the most important and unique. Not least because the incidents stretch over several decades and share details with many other cases over the years. We begin with that story.

No A.I. voices are ever used in the show. IN THIS EPISODE: it’s #ThrillerThursday, and this week I’m bringing you a tale recommended to me by one of you, the Weirdo family. Louis Padgett’s story, “Mimsy Were the Borogoves” was originally published in the February 1943 issue of “Astounding Science Fiction Magazine”. It was judged by the Science Fiction Writers of America to be among the best science fiction stories written prior to 1965, and in 2007 it was loosely adapted into a feature-length film titled The Last Mimzy. The title of the original short story was directly inspired by a verse from "Jabberwocky", a poem found in the classic novel Through the Looking-Glass by author Lewis Carroll. And in 1976, Caedmon Records released a spoken word album of the short story, narrated by William Shatner. Well – I don’t know that I’ll be as entertaining as William Shatner with the story, but I’ll do my best for you.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Mimsy Were The Borogoves” by Lewis Padgett from the book “The Science Fiction Hall of Fame: Volume 1, 1929-1964”: https://amzn.to/3ZqjVvlWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Why? The story is a strange one! (The Victorian Female Barber in Court) *** Sometimes the sour attitude of a mother-in-law can not only break up a marriage, but it can lead to murder. (A Day of Blood) *** We’ll look at a murder that was described quite well in an editorial in Truth magazine saying: “There have been murders in the hot blood of passion, assassinations prompted by wrong, by jealousy, by greed of gain but this is none of these. It is simply the crime of a vile-tempered bilious wretch, far too many of whose like are still at large, perpetuated not only on a victim who had more case to feel aggrieved at them than he at her, but perpetuated with every suggestion of premeditation.” Why did William Sindram murder Catherine Crave? (Shot Down Remorselessly) *** There have been so many accidents and mysterious disappearances on one particular stretch of road in Australia that it has earned an ominous nickname… “The Highway of Death”. We’ll look at the infamous length of asphalt named Flinders Highway. (Highway Vanishings Down Under) *** UFO stories are a dime a dozen. Even stories of UFOs crashing have become humdrum for many.

Holmes allegedly killed as many as 200 people by luring visitors to his lair during the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. The 100 rooms of the house he built, were filled with trapdoors, gas chambers, staircases to nowhere, and a human-sized stove. But now, some historians say many of the gruesome stories about Doctor Holmes may be myth! (The Doctor And His Murder Castle) *** Michael Swango was an MD. He was a doctor. But the MD after his name could just as easily have represented “Master of Death”, or “Many Dead” - because there were. Up to sixty of his patients died by his own hands before he was stopped. (Doctor of Death) *** Dr. Buck Ruxton’s brutal deeds earned the surgeon a grim nickname… the Savage Surgeon. (The Savage Surgeon) *** During his 26-year reign at the Trenton Psychiatric Hospital, Dr. Henry Cotton performed over 645 twisted operations in which he tried to "save" the mentally ill. (The Horrifying Cures of Dr. Cotton) *** Stubbins Ffirth was so determined to learn about Yellow Fever in the late 1700s that he purposely exposed himself to those who had it. But HOW he exposed himself is an utter nightmare and will curl your stomach. (The Insane Experiment of Stubbins Ffirth) *** Horrifying medical experiments on twins helped Nazis justify the Holocaust, and at the center of it was Dr. Josef Mengele. (The Nazi Angel of Death) *** We’ll also look at a few other derailed doctors and nurses who had an unhealthy appetite for lobotomies, blisters, and the plague. (Doctors of Evil) *** Doctors killing or experimenting on patients isn’t confined to human victims, some animal experiments were equally as gruesome or bizarre. For example, what would happen if you gave an elephant LSD?

But why? With all of the animals out there to choose from, the harvesting of fruits and vegetables they could’ve placed on an altar… why human sacrifice? (Why Human Sacrifice?) *** You’re in a battle, you’ve had several horses shot out from under you, and suddenly someone points out that you’ve lost your leg. How do you respond to that? Whatever your answer, you probably wouldn’t be as suave about it as Lord Uxbridge was. (The Strange Tale of Lord Uxbridge’s Leg) *** Cornering the market in heroin and cocaine trafficking, Vito Rizzuto's mafia family dominated Montreal until his death in December 2013. (Canada’s Mafia Godfather) *** A senior couple seemed to be enjoying their retirement. They were heading home from their apartment in Florida to their home in New York as they did every Spring. But somewhere between they vanished into the ether. What happened to Charles and Catherine Romer?

IN THIS EPISODE: When UFO researcher and investigator, Richard Hall, first received reports of a UFO sighting from the Symes family in the United Kingdom in 2011, he perhaps didn’t expect that the encounters they would reveal would stretch back to the mid-1970s. Whether the Symes family are just simply in the right place at the right time or whether their location plays a part in these multiple sightings remains open to debate. Although there isn’t any evidence for it, perhaps the Symes have been targeted by the alleged extraterrestrial occupants of these seemingly alien vehicles. What is interesting, though, is that there are many sightings of these shiny or glowing spherical UFOs on record, both in the United Kingdom and around the world. And what’s more, many of them share remarkably similar details in terms of their description and how they act.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Many Extraterrestrial Experiences of the Symes Family” by Marcus Lowth for UFO Insight: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p878rbhWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

That house in Los Feliz, California, located at 2475 Glendower Place, was dubbed the “Murder Mansion” - with good reason. (Murder Mansion of Los Angeles) *** What would you do if you were doing some construction in your home or business, and found a hidden bottle full of fish hooks, human teeth, shards of glass and an unidentified liquid? (The Witch Bottle In The Pub) *** A recent survey shows that 40 percent of Americans believe that a place can be haunted. Are you one of them? If so, you’re in good company here with the rest of the Weirdo Family. Glen Wershing is a believer as well – and has come to that conclusion through personal experience when moving into his new home.

No A.I. voices are ever used in the show.IN THIS EPISODE: Three alien abductees investigated by the late Budd Hopkins are intriguing, not so much for the abductions themselves, but of a seemingly trivial detail involving bizarre interview scenarios that each woman experienced. As Hopkins investigated these curious setups further, he arrived at the conclusion that they are seemingly another layer of the alien abduction phenomena. Of particular concern is the notion that these truly strange encounters are suggestive of an end goal of a hybridization program being directly connected to alien abductions. And that the people themselves were actually alien-human hybrids, carrying some part of the mission to this concerning agenda. Of course, what the end goal of this alien-human hybridization program might be is another topic of debate. Are aliens looking to invade Earth discreetly without us even being aware of it? Or might they simply leave and venture elsewhere once their program’s goals have been achieved? Tonight we’ll look at the strange case of the multiple-abductions of one woman, and testimonies of other abductees who, while abducted, were manipulated somehow to believe that what they were seeing was ordinary people, items, and buildings - as opposed to the possibly grotesque and horrifying reality that was truly in front of them at the time. Was it done through mind control? Alien implants? And why do many of these abductees see humans alongside the extraterrestrials?

No A.I. voices are ever used in the show.IN THIS EPISODE: Social media over-sharers are a common complaint. Facebook is a medium where people spill their guts, sometimes without enough discretion. While detailed status updates about breakups can be annoying, killers who confessed on social media give new meaning to the term "TMI." It's hard to believe, but some people use Facebook as a platform to announce the heinous crimes they’ve committed. (Online Crime Confessions) *** While some people confess on social media to the murders they’ve committed, in some cases it is social media that caused people to commit murder or be killed. We’ll look at a few of those cases. (Dead Because of Social Media) *** What if you could talk to God? Not through prayer, but through thought? Where you would be able to converse directly, and receive direct answers. One group of scientists believed it was possible and set out to do just that. (A Direct Line To God) *** Author and researcher Raymond Fowler tackles the tricky and trippy subject of time slips, and ripples in time. (Raymond Fowler And The Ever Changing Nature of Time) *** A young girl is continually beckoned to take a boat ride – but the one doing the beckoning is not of this world. (The Ghost In The Boat) *** On June 10, 1912, all eight people inside the Moore family's house in Villisca, Iowa — including two adults and six children — were murdered by an axe-wielding assailant.

No A.I. voices are ever used in the show.IN THIS EPISODE: The horror entertainment industry would make you think that Satan is everywhere, controlling world leaders, possessing church pastors, inhabiting the bodies of kids who play with Ouija boards, even somehow controlling your children’s dolls or other toys… all in the name of the Lord Lucifer. Ironically, Satan is only mentioned a handful of times in the bible, despite what you’ve been led to believe by Hollywood. The image of Satan we typically envision is actually not from the bible at all, but from a poem. Most Satanists, despite the clever name, don’t openly worship the devil. And while I do believe in Satan and the danger he poses – I believe we are giving him way too much credit for some things – especially some of the conspiracy theories people believe, or blaming him for when we do bad things, (i.e., “the devil made me do it!”). That being said, there are some areas that you have to wonder if perhaps he truly did place his crooked finger upon in order to insert his evil influence. What does Satan look like? What’s the meaning of 666? Do people really kill in the name of Satan? Are some places or objects somehow under a Satanic influence? We have a lot to cover.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Cold Open and Show Intro00:04:32.196 = The Satanic Panic00:16:38.682 = Satanic Elements And Imagery00:32:16.363 = Your Idea of Satan is Wrong00:51:46.562 = Satan’s Appearances In The Bible01:07:41.330 = Teens Who Murdered In The Name of Satan01:20:46.655 = The Devil’s Property01:33:19.637 = Let’s Blame It On Satan01:45:28.977 = The Truth Behind 66601:52:30.669 = Show OutroSOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…#ChurchOfTheUndead, “The Dangers of Demons And The Devil”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/5chya3vk#ChurchOfTheUndead, “Are We Wrong About How Satan Works?”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2wfmwbed#ChurchOfTheUndead, “The Devil Might Be Deceiving You In These End Times”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/fw5z2z4f#ChurchOfTheUndead, all episodes: https://weirddarkness.com/churchVIDEO: 20/20 “The Devil Worshippers”: https://youtu.be/vG_w-uElGbMBOOK: “Michelle Remembers” by Lawrence Pazder M.D. and Michelle Smith: https://amzn.to/3QNB2F6BOOK: “We Believe The Children – A Moral Panic In The 1980s” by Richard Beck: https://amzn.to/3ODWN7uBOOK: “Republic of Lies - America’s Conspiracy Theorists And Their Surprising Rise to Power’ by Anna Merlan:https://amzn.to/3YNcfmC“The Satanic Panic” by Alan Yuhas for the New York Times: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/mr3me97t“Satanic Elements And Imagery” by Jacob Shelton for Graveyard Shift: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/bdzxhm3v“Your Idea of Satan Is Wrong” by Inigo Gonzalez for Graveyard Shift: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/895x9y8y; and BillyGraham.ca: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p858f5w“Teens Who Murdered In The Name of Satan” by Jacob Shelton for Unspeakable Crimes: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/bdejvvjt“Satan’s Appearances in The Bible” by Jodi Smith for Weird History: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckkrfus“The Devil’s Property” by Jodi Smith for Graveyard Shift: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/ypmzdyza“Let’s Blame it On Satan” by Jacob Shelton for Graveyard Shift: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/42hxcp8y“The Truth Behind 666” by Jacoby Bancroft” for Graveyard Shift: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p877skp; and AMatterOfTruth.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2479ytt2Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

No A.I. voices are ever used in the show.IN THIS EPISODE: When hiring a ghost writer, you are paying someone to do some or even all of the writing of a book or novel for you – using your notes and outline – without taking any credit for themselves. But on the flip side, there are books written who give all credit to the ghost writers… because those ghost writers are literally authors who are ghosts. (Paranormal Prose: Books Written By Ghosts) *** When getting married, it’s always best to tell your future spouse everything about yourself – no matter how sordid it might be. For if the news comes out after you’ve taken your vows, not only might it lead to divorce – but it could also lead to murder! (A Double Murderer Murdered) *** And while we’re on the subject of marriage device – it’s also never a good idea to cheat on your spouse, not matter how powerful and influential you are in society. That too can lead to brutal murder, very possibly your own, as Harvey Burdell found out. (Bond Street Tragedy) *** There are numerous eerie tales of the supernatural involving ghost brides and haunted wedding dresses. It makes you wonder if you plan on saying “I do”, if you’re not also welcoming a residual haunting once “til death do us part” arrives. (Ghostly Bride of America) *** It happened in September of 2022 – hundreds of students all across the country of Mexico just fainted with no warning, while those around them were perfectly fine. Authorities still aren’t sure they have found the explanation. (The Case Of Passed Out Pupils) *** Berkely Square is one of the most famous places in London, known for its beautiful garden and upscale living. Winston Churchill once lived here, as did Charles Rolls – cofounder of Rolls-Royce. The location has also been used for works of fiction, such as the television miniseries “Berkeley Square”, and even the home of fictional character Cathy Lane – Patty Lane’s “identical cousin” from “The Patty Duke Show” on television. But Berkely Square also has a dark side – a building in the middle of the square, said to contain something not of this earth. (The Indescribable Beast of Berkely Square) *** But first… look out men, if you are approached by a beautiful woman seemingly out of nowhere – remember the saying: “if it’s too good to be true, it probably is.” She may be less interested in your looks or money – and more interested in whats on your insides.

But does history bear out the disdain we have for him?

(The Strange Disappearance of Singer-Songwriter Connie Converse) *** Jack Pyle was a hermit and a recluse, living in a tiny shack – selling the fish he caught out of the river to supplement his income. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t have money, which might’ve been the reason someone killed him. (Death of a Miser) *** Napoleon Bonaparte is known as one of the greatest military commanders in history, and his battles and ambitions changed the shape of Western Europe. But it seems that the only foe that could best this great man was small and fluffy. (Napoleon Versus The Bunnies) *** For centuries, bizarre physical conditions, strange health-based occurrences, and questionable treatments have gained widespread attention, only to be exposed as frauds. We’ll look at some of the strangest! (Medical Hoaxes) *** In 1896, 22-year-old schoolteacher Pearl Bryan was found dead. But after her killers were found, tried, and hanged, her story continued to fascinate the public even to the point of having folk songs sung about her. But it wasn’t her beauty that inspired the songwriters so much as it was that she was found without her head.

Weird Darkness is narrated by professional full-time voice actor Darren Marlar. IN THIS EPISODE: In 1856, two young children – Joseph and George Cox – disappeared in the Allegheny Mountains. The story is tragic… and it also has a bizarre ending. (Lost Children of the Alleghenies) *** Is he an elf? A troll? Not only is it hard to classify Latin America’s El Duende – but it’s even difficult to know if he’s good, evil, or just a mischievous menace! (Duende The Menace) *** Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery just outside of Chicago is a mystery. No one knows exactly how it got its name; no one is sure when the first burial there took place or why it has since been abandoned; there is no explanation for the strange lights that are often seen there, or the ghostly lady, or the phantom horse and rider. (Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery) *** A man is found in a graveyard with a bullet to his skull, barely alive. He died later – but what exactly happened to him is a bit of a mystery. Our guess though is that it had something to do with him being a grave robber. (A Grave Robber’s Fate) *** Forensics has come a long way over the years, making it harder and harder for criminals to get away with crimes – particularly brutal crimes where DNA is usually left behind because of a struggle or physical assault. But despite technological advancements, there are still those cases that remain unsolved – and we’ll look at a few murders of women whose cases still can’t be closed. (Unsolved Female Murders) *** How’s the saying go… “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned?” That’s good advice for the living – but probably even more apropos when dealing with female ghosts! (Famous Female Phantoms) *** Imagine you’re in a small town and suddenly you begin seeing people around you starting to change into beastly creatures. They begin attacking those around them, ripping them apart, eating like wild animals. Then suddenly you begin the transformation yourself… you are becoming a werewolf. But you were never bitten by a monster, nor were the townsfolk. How could this be happening? This actually happened in a small town in France… and one of the theories as to how it happened will not only surprise you, but have you wondering if it will happen to you someday.

(The Exorcism of Emma Schmidt) *** One of the greatest magicians of all time was Chung Ling Soo. So adept at illusion, slight of hand, and fooling others that he was able to lead a double life… before being shot and killed performing his own magic trick. (The Magician Who Lived a Double Life) *** John Dee claimed he was visited by angels presented him with a secret language just angels, and the ability to perform a new magic they called Enochian. We’ll look at his claims. (John Dee And The Language of Angels) *** A little boy goes fishing on a Spring day. He disappears. Another boy goes fishing nearby on the exact same day. He also disappears. A third child goes missing many years later in the same general area. What happened? (The Missing Fishing Boys) *** Venice's Poveglia Island was a quarantine center and mass grave for victims of bubonic plague – so it should come as no surprise it is considered one of the most haunted places in all of Europe. (Poveglia: The Island of Ghosts) *** It is one of history’s greatest unsolved mysteries… what happened to the lost colony of Roanoke? We’ll look at a few theories. (Lost Roanoke) *** You snap a selfie of the squad at brunch, but it’s covered with shapes and light that definitely weren’t present IRL. The whole thing is giving you major paranormal feels.

No A.I. voices are ever used in the show.IN THIS EPISODE: If you are concerned about a family member’s excessive drinking, what do you do? Hold an intervention? Call Alcoholics Anonymous for advice? Perhaps confide in a close friend who might know what to do. In the case of teenaged sisters Sandra and Elizabeth Andersen, they were so frustrated with their mother’s drunken ways they decided to kill her. (Murderous Sisters) *** One reason people don’t like going to dentists is pain – even if there is no pain, just the idea of pain is enough to keep people away. But in the early 1900s there was a dentist so confident he could give you a painless tooth-extraction that he even changed his name to “Painless Parker”. But did his name live up to his claim? (A Dentist Named Painless Parker) *** Cliff Taylor reported seeing not just one, but two UFOs – and even more interesting, one of his sightings sounds like an extraterrestrial mothership… which appeared right next to his own house. And his was only a fraction of the hundreds of sightings that took place in 2008 just north of Philadelphia. (The Bucks County UFO Encounter) *** Of all the sites that are unexplained, the Bermuda Triangle is usually the first one that comes to mind. Located in the Caribbean, it is renowned for the ships and radio signals that have disappeared without explanation in recent years. Yet, there is another, perhaps lesser known region in which the inexplicable occurs. This location is often referred to quite simply as Mexico's Zone of Silence. (The Mexican Zone of Death) *** The definition of “punishment” is, “the infliction of some kind of pain or loss upon a person for a misdeed.” In most cases we look to serve punishment in proper proportion to the crime being committed – reserving the most severe punishments for the worst of the worst. But that has not always been the case – and there have been a lot of punishments doled out that we would consider worse than death – and for crimes we might not even consider crimes today. (Punishments Worse Than Death)CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Cold Open and Show Intro00:05:01.792 = Punishments Worse Than Death00:25:49.973 = Murderous Sisters00:38:01.037 = The Mexican Zone of Silence00:43:37.158 = The Bucks County UFO Encounter01:00:05.680 = A Dentist Named Painless Parker01:06:24.666 = Show CloseSOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…BOOK: “The Jesuit Relations” by Allan Greer: https://amzn.to/441pgd9BOOK: “Torture And Democracy” by Darius Rejali: https://amzn.to/3OseYgrBOOK: “The History of Torture” by George Ryley Scott: https://amzn.to/44XZA2lBOOK: “Execution” by Geoffrey Abbott: https://amzn.to/3KtWUS3ARTICLE: “Bermuda Triangle Explained?” https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3n4u8knf“Murderous Sisters” by Trilby Beresford for Ranker: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8wvcj8; and A.W.

We were told they didn’t find much success – but could that be part of an ongoing secret? What if they did succeed, but don’t want us to know due to “national security” reasons? And what if they aren’t just spying on our enemies, but also on us, the country’s citizens? And if they can do that… can they also control our minds to make us think and do whatever they wish?

But there have been instances of it raining frogs and fish. But did you hear about the time when for two-weeks straight it rained rocks and stones? (Raining Rocks, Storming Stones) *** In the film “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” the ending… sorry, spoiler here, but it has been since 1977 so you have had plenty of time to see it… at the end of the film, the aliens drop off dozens of humans that they’ve abducted over the years, and then welcome a volunteer human to leave with them – like an extraterrestrial foreign exchange student program. It’s a fascinating concept, an extremely well-written premise for the film… but could that actually happen? Better question… has it already happened? (The Zeta Reticuli and Project Serpo) *** It could be argued that while William H. Bonney, better known as Billy the Kid, was a real person in history – that his story is more legend than fact. But then, being a notorious outlaw, pretending to die, and convincing everyone you are dead – then living out the rest of your life until you were an old man… that does probably deserve the label of “legend’. Is that story the fact… or is it fiction? (The Billy The Kid Conspiracy) *** Stories of giant, winged predators in the sky streaking down and attacking children and even full-grown men have been around since… well… ever. Some don’t believe it possible, but if you do a Google search for “man-eating bird” you’ll quickly find out they were not only real – but alive not that long ago. Or, perhaps… still soaring the skies, looking for their next meal… especially in and around New England. (Man-Eating Thunderbirds of New England) *** We’ve all heard of guardian angels – the idea that each one of us has a personal, supernatural protector following us at all times, battling for our souls to keep us from spiritual harm, if not physical. But if that’s true – could we also each have a personal demon as well? A being also battling for our souls to send us to hell? One famous witch hunter believed exactly that.

And we still don’t know who killed her. (The Unsolved Murder of Cynthia Clements) *** A harbinger of doom is a sign, a warning of bad things to come. A supernatural forerunner to disaster, you might say – which several do, in Canada. There, they are more than familiar with forerunners of disaster and have several examples they could point to from over the years. (Canada’s Harbingers of Doom) *** Can you sue a schnauzer?

(Accused Critters In Court) *** Wilford Sweeten was found dead of food poisoning. Then across town, a pastor’s wife was found dead of food poisoning as well. And that’ when rumors already circulating in the small town of Ida, Illinois began to be confirmed – and the identities of the killers would shock people nationwide. (The Murdering Minister) *** It was probably said best by Old Time Radio’s “The Shadow” when he said at the beginning of each episode, “The weed of crime bears bitter fruit… crime does not pay.” But true life criminals don’t seem to be too concerned about that. Some thieves, however, did learn it the hard way – when they stole what turned out to be cursed relics… and paid the price for swiping them.

“ICELAND’S HIDDEN FOLK” #WeirdDarknessRadio WEEKEND OF SEPTEMBER 28-29, 2024==========HOUR ONE: In 1761, a young Frenchman died violently. This tragedy would lead to what is still one of that country's most famous cases of judicial injustice. Assuming, of course, that it truly was an injustice at all. (The Mysterious Death of Marc Antoine Calas) *** Most know them as “The Hidden Folk.” The elusive and magical residents of Iceland, who live inside rocks and sometimes play games with unsuspecting passers-by. Are they real? That’s a complicated question, if you ask Icelanders. (The Elves of Iceland) *** As two boys were walking back to the house on their farm, a small stone rolled past them. Then a second one. They immediately thought some other boys were hiding in the scrub and throwing stones for a joke.  They couldn’t have been more wrong. (Stone Throwing Spirits) *** Belle Gunness lured numerous suitors to her Indiana farm. Not to entertain them or to be courted by them. She simply wanted to kill them in cold blood and dump their bodies in her hog pen. (Belle Gunness – The Black Widow of the Midwest) *** "They're going to steal your organs!" screamed Sabina Eriksson, before running toward oncoming traffic on the M6 highway, having already been hit head-on by a Volkswagen. Her twin sister, Ursula, legs crushed by the truck that had just run her over, was spitting and screaming at paramedics on the side of the road. Now, many years after these events, we’re still no closer to understanding the chaos that occurred over two days in 2008 involving psychotic twin sisters on a UK highway. (The Disturbing Case of the Eriksson Twins)==========HOUR TWO: In 1882 the Ma’amtrasna murders, the brutal killing of several members of the Joyce family in rural Galway, caused outrage in Irish society and remains one of the most notorious homicides in Irish history. However a few years later Cork was rocked by an equally heinous case which has largely been forgotten. We’ll look at the brutal murders of four family members that took place in Castletownroche, Ireland. (The Castletownroche Murders) *** An Arizona family encounters a creature from the dark side of a Navajo legend. (The Arizona Skinwalker) *** John Blair liked to keep things “in the family”. But in his case, it wasn’t just a saying. It was literal. Because John was infamous for being bigamous. (Bigamous Blair) *** Dozens of Korean War GI’s claimed an unidentified flying object made them all sick. Theories range from high-tech Soviet death rays to extraterrestrials studying how we engage in battle to combat-stress-induced hallucinations. What actually happened? (The Korean War UFO)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Were people ever really tortured in Iron Maidens?

Watch the VIDEO version at https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScream20240928IN THIS EPISODE: Liminal people. We know them in a variety of forms. Shadow people… black eyed kids… the sleep paralysis figure of the “old hag”… but angels would also be considered liminal people, as would demons. Spirits, angelic guides, fairies… well, you get the picture. They may be corporeal or non-corporeal, but somehow they exist in a kind of parallel reality that is able to cross over into our reality.

What began as a love triangle turned into a chilling tale of greed, betrayal, and murder, culminating in a public execution that would challenge the very nature of capital punishment in Great Britain. (The Murderous Mannings) *** In 1720, amidst a perilous pirate attack on the Atlantic, a newborn's cry changed the course of destiny. Ocean-Born Mary, christened by buccaneers and gifted with a bolt of green silk, would grow from a maritime legend into a symbol of courage and resilience in colonial New England, her extraordinary birth weaving a tapestry of fact and fiction that continues to captivate imaginations centuries later. (A Pirate’s Godchild, Ocean-Born Mary) *** On the morning of June 20, 2001, Andrea Yates shocked the nation by drowning her five children, one by one, in the family bathtub. Years of untreated mental illness, compounded by religious fanaticism and postpartum psychosis, culminated in this unimaginable tragedy. Was it the work of a tortured mind, or something darker at play? (Did The Devil Make Her Do It?) *** Deep in the ancient folds of the Appalachian Mountains, where time seems to slow and shadows linger, legends have taken root for millennia. These peaks have become a breeding ground for supernatural tales that blend seamlessly with the landscape. The sheer age and untamed nature of Appalachia have given birth to a rich tapestry of myths, from the Mothman, to ghosts, to the Devil himself. (Modern Mythology and Ancient Appalachia) *** In the heart of Preston, Ladywell Street is infamous for a chilling spectral presence capable of shifting forms—from eerie footsteps to a blood-soaked apparition known as the Bannister Doll. Once a beautiful young woman, Dolly Bannister met a tragic death at the hands of her father, a punishment for a crime she didn’t commit. Now, her restless spirit seeks retribution, haunting the streets and striking fear into anyone who dares to cross her path. (The Haunting of Ladywell Street) *** In 1984, a sleepy English village became the unlikely stage for a mind-bending mystery when a schoolteacher's computer began receiving messages from a man claiming to be from 1546. As past and present collided through a BBC Micro, Ken Webster and his friends found themselves entangled in a web of Tudor English, future prophecies, and inexplicable phenomena that would challenge everything they thought they knew about time and technology.

Washington Irving did a fantastic job of painting that picture for us. It’s too bad headless horsemen legends are just that… legends. Well, that is, until they are not. (The Headless Horseman of Neuces) *** In 1970, two teenage girls were murdered at Denver's Lumber Baron Inn. Today their killer is still unknown — but some guests say the victims' ghosts still roam the halls. (Murder at the London Baron Inn) *** A man is well-liked and respected in his community… but then he acquires a love for alcohol… his personality changes… his family disappears… and suddenly, his community see him for what he truly is – a Wendigo. (A Wendigo Named Swift Runner) *** Unexplained murder cases are, sadly, a reality. But in most cases you at least know who the victim is, or who the murderer is. In the case of “Princess Doe” however, there is no identity for the victim, the murderer, and there is no reason anyone has found for the brutal crime. (The Unexplained Princess Doe Case) *** With so many television shows, movies, documentaries, and genre artwork, you might think you know just about everything there is to know about the Wild West – but there are a few stories that are so strange, you might think they came right out of the mind of a fiction novelist. (The Wild Weird West) *** Situated alongside Almaden Quicksilver County Park, Hicks Road has become legendary in San Jose, California for all the wrong reasons. If you even mention it in driving directions, you’ll get a “No way, Jose!” response and a request for a different route. Hearing the stories about what makes Hicks Road so creepy might turn you as ghostly white as the supposedly Satan-worshipping albinos rumored to inhabit the area. It’s the legend of Hicks Road.

Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version: https://www.patreon.com/posts/112913114IN THIS EPISODE: Hundreds of years after his death, the tomb of William Longespee was opened and what was found horrified the man who opened it… the skeleton of a black rat was found in the skull of Longespee – but that wasn’t the end of the story! (The Rat In Longespee’s Skull) *** Most people are superstitious to at least a tiny degree – avoiding walking under ladders, not opening umbrellas indoors, or having a tingle down the spine every Friday the 13th. Perhaps you have a favorite or “lucky” shirt to wear on special occasions – or a lucky pair of socks. Maybe you have to dress from left to right instead of the other way around. Superstitions may seem silly, but we seem to live with them everywhere – but your superstitions don’t hold a candle to the ones believed by those in the theater. Thespians on and off the stage have some pretty bizarre concepts about what is lucky and unlucky. (Strange Superstitions of the Stage) *** Viking sagas describe the ritual execution of blood eagle, in which victims were kept alive while their backs were sliced open so that their ribs, lungs, and intestines could be pulled out into the shape of bloody wings. The torture method was so grisly that some historians believe it never truly happened. We can only hope historians are correct, because the thought of someone going through it alive is unbelievably terrifying. (The Blood Eagle Viking Torture) *** Physicist Enrico Fermi famously asked the question "Where are they?" to express his surprise over the absence of any signs for the existence of other intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy. Although many potential resolutions to this so-called “Fermi paradox” have been suggested over the years, there is still no consensus on which one, if any, is correct.  We’ll look at some of the theories as to where E.T. might be found.

Centuries later, the echoes of her magic still haunt the caverns, where eerie sounds and ghostly figures continue to baffle and terrify visitors. Is the petrified figure in the Witch’s Kitchen truly the stone remains of the cursed sorceress, or does her spirit linger, waiting for someone to break the spell? (The Witch of Wookey Hole) *** In 1954, off the coast of Australia, a routine flight turned into one of the most compelling UFO encounters in history. When Royal Australian Navy pilot Lieutenant O'Farrell reported two mysterious lights outpacing his Sea Fury aircraft, he couldn't have imagined that his sighting, confirmed by multiple radar operators on the ground, would become a cornerstone case in UFO research for decades to come. (The Sea Fury UFO Mystery) *** "When two boys unearth strange stone heads in their backyard, they unknowingly trigger a series of eerie events, from ghostly encounters to bizarre werewolf sightings.

In this episode, it’s “The Super Opener” by Michael Zuroy. It’s a story I narrated for another podcast I work with entitled “Auditory Anthology” which comes out with a science-fiction story each week with me as the narrator. I’ll link to that podcast in the show notes. I loved narrating this particular story due to the characters I had to create. I enjoyed it so much, in fact, that I produced it with music and sound effects when normally I’d leave that up to Keith, the producer of Auditory Anthology. I hope you enjoy the story as much as I did!SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Super Opener” by Michael Zuroy, originally published in “Worlds of If” Science Fiction magazine from August, 1958.Auditory Anthology, Podcast: https://www.auditoryanthology.comAuditory Anthology YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AuditoryAnthologyWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Perhaps a light touch on the shoulder, the moving of an object, a whisper in the ear, or a cold chill for the more intense cases. But then there are those hauntings that leave the person hysterical… or physically hurt… or even dead. We’ll look at some of the most violent ghosts and hauntings of all time. (History’s Most Violent Ghosts) *** Dixon, Illinois needed a bridge – Mr. L.E. Truesdell was an expert bridge builder. But people had doubts as to whether what he was being asked to do could be accomplished. The naysayers were ignored – and tragedy arrived, (The Truesdell Bridge Disaster) *** The witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts were horrid… the trials in Europe even more so. Now, imagine being a soldier tried as a witch because you returned with supernatural knowledge imparted to you after you were abducted by extraterrestrials. It sounds like the makings of a terrible novel and an even worse movie… but it’s the true story of Major Thomas Weir. (The True Story of the Alien Abduction Witch Trial) *** He’s believed to have killed over 50 women inside his soundproof torture trailer – which he called his “toy box.” We’ll look at the case of serial killer David Parker Ray. (Evils of the Toybox Killer) *** Our criminal justice system tries to be the most fair in the world – considering the accused “innocent until proven guilty.” And while our system is not perfect, for the most part it does its job well. But because it is not perfect, once in a while a murderer walks… or even worse, an innocent defendant goes to prison. And in some cases, that innocent person is convicted and imprisoned based on one thing – they confessed to the crime that they didn’t commit. Why would someone do that? (Why Do Innocent People Confess?) *** Port St. Lucie, Florida is full of disturbing urban legends – some true, many false – as urban legends go. But somehow, most all of these terrifying stories tie back to a single oak tree in a neighborhood park, and Florida’s first serial killer.

Are John and Joyce Edmonds the unwitting guardians of a portal to another dimension? Is their story a descent into madness? Or are we all fascinated by what is just an elaborate hoax? (Interdimensional Intruders: The Mystery of Stardust Ranch) *** In the abandoned halls of Gartloch Hospital, a century-old psychiatric facility on the outskirts of Glasgow, two nurses recount chilling encounters with spectral figures from the past. From mysterious footsteps echoing in empty corridors to a ghostly matron disappearing through locked doors, their stories paint a picture of a hospital where the line between the living and the dead blurs. Do the spirits of Gartloch's past still roam its wards? (The Ghosts of Garloch) *** In 1954, a wave of panic swept through Washington state as thousands of motorists reported mysterious damage to their car windshields. What began as a local curiosity in Bellingham soon exploded into a statewide phenomenon, sparking wild theories ranging from cosmic rays to hatching sand fleas. But was this truly an epidemic of vandalism and unexplained phenomena, or a textbook case of mass delusion fueled by Cold War anxieties? (The Seattle Windshield Pitting Epidemic) *** In the depths of Switzerland's Lake Brienz, a drowned man's body was found astonishingly intact—despite having been dead for over 300 years. Preserved by the rare and eerie process of saponification, his remains were encased in a waxy substance formed from body fat under the right conditions. This eerie phenomenon transforms bodies into waxy time capsules, defying the natural process of decay. We’ll look at the creepy but somehow natural reality of corpse wax. (Corpse Wax) *** For centuries, scholars and enthusiasts have speculated about hidden messages encoded within ancient texts, with recent claims suggesting that the Bible itself conceals secret prophecies waiting to be uncovered. From predicting historical events like World War II and the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin to foretelling the Oklahoma City bombing, proponents of the "Bible Code" believe these codes reveal divine insights.

To many they are considered to be isolated and romantic. Some lighthouses are possibly haunted due to tragedies from shipwrecks or other horrors that have spawned all sorts of lighthouse lore. Some who have spent the night at a haunted lighthouse come away with stories to share such as seeing a former lighthouse keeper, or resident of the keeper's home. Could they still be present in some form after their death? Could keepers possibly remain behind to make sure no further tragedies occur at sea? Perhaps the worst fear of a lighthouse keeper, a ship wrecked upon the rocks, is why some lighthouses continue to be haunted by their former captains. Lights turning on, movement of objects, disembodied voices, and see-through specters are often reported within, or around older lighthouses. Are the ghosts of these souls still on duty? Modern-day tragedies at sea still occur and so do the ghosts that eventually haunt our world. If their walls could talk, lighthouses could share many stories from the past. Unfortunately, these objects don’t have the ability to tell their tales – but the phantoms that haunt them just might.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“St. Augustine’s Haunted Lighthouse” by Jessica Ferri: http://bit.ly/2ZF0e6N“The Confederate Dead of Point Lookout Lighthouse” by Adam Karlin: http://bit.ly/2zpkmeb“Haunted Lighthouses” posted at AngelsGhosts.com: http://bit.ly/2ZsBJFD“Scariest Lighthouses Built In The United States” by Chelsey Dagner: http://bit.ly/2LcXc03Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

(Secret Doors to the Underworld) *** A king, a gossoon and a bear walked into a bar. No, this is not the first line of a joke, but a common occurrence in Potrero Hill in San Francisco, California, during the 1880s. The king was Frank McManus, the gossoon was Frank’s baseball-playing brother, Cornelius, and the bear was a large inebriated ursine.

It is something that has happened since time began, but medical experts are still baffled by it. (Terminal Lucidity Phenomenon) *** Two men were found dead in the bushes, beheaded… and emasculated. But that was just the beginning of the Mad Butcher’s killing spree.

I’ve been on an old-time radio kick recently, listening to shows like “The Whistler”, “Dimension X”, and “Strange Tales”. One of my favorite shows is called “X-Minus One”.  It was a half-hour science fiction radio drama series that was broadcast from April 24, 1955 to January 9, 1958 in various timeslots on NBC radio. At the end of each episode they tell you where the stories they used came from before they adapted them for radio – and one of those sources was the publication “Astounding Science Fiction Magazine”. I jumped online to see if there were old copies I could look at, and I found a book – an anthology of many of the stories from that magazine. The book was published in 1954 The story was entitled “First Contact”, written by Murray Leinster in 1945. The story is credited as one of the first instances of a universal translator in science fiction. So influential is the story that it won a retro Hugo Award for Best Novelette in 1996.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“First Contact” by Murray Leister from “Astounding S-F Anthology”: https://amzn.to/3zhbBWiWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

And you never know when playing any of these types of games what kind of spirit you might be inviting into our realm – but I can tell you this…. It’s never good. They might pretend to be good, but that’s far from the truth. And one particular demon has found notoriety through the Ouija board community, a demon you don’t want to risk opening a door for.

(The Axe Murders of Lykens) *** Have you heard of the poor girl who was bullied and pushed down into a sewer by those whom she thought were her friends? I’ll tell you the story. And while this episode is not a creepypasta episode, so all the stories are supposed to be non-fiction, that is… true, I will be sharing this urban legend anyway – because when it comes to urban legends, sometimes it’s best to err on the side of caution and simply assume they are true. (The Urban Legend of Carmen Winstead) *** A gypsy once told Leonarda that all of her children would die before her.  A different fortuneteller  told her that she faced either a future in prison or in a criminal asylum. And the reason she gave for becoming a serial killer is something you’d hear out of a bad direct-to-video horror film. And that’s a tiny sample of this woman’s insanely dark life – which began even before her birth. (The Woman Who Made Soap) *** Ireland’s Loftus Hall is considered by many to be the most haunted location on all the Emerald Isle. But the most infamous story of Loftus Hall begins not with terror, but with romance… with a beautiful young girl falling madly in love with… the devil. (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) *** Weirdo Family member Brad Hicks describes the experience as “cool… and creepy as hell”. We’ll tell you his story.

The grass where he claimed to have had the encounter was also scorched. Did this scoutmaster and the boys with him truly experience a real UFO sighting in 1952, or was it all a hoax? (The Scouts and the UFO) *** An atheist tells his story about being possessed by demons... or maybe he wasn’t. (I Thought I Was Possessed By The Devil) *** Is the Thunderbird real or myth?  Most would say it is myth – or if it was real, it’s now extinct. But then how do you explain sightings of the massive airborne creature as recently as 2018?

(The Man Who Created Criminal Profiling) *** Different peoples build their identity around different facets of their culture: the Italians around their food, the Greeks around their architecture, America around expanding waistlines. The Isle of Man, however, has pinned its identity today on low tax rates, motorcycle races and, oh yes… mermaids and fairies. (Catching Mermaids on Man) *** Would you be willing to eat your meals off the chest of a corpse, in the process, taking on their sins as your own? That’s the gruesome job of a sin eater – and there were people willing to do it even into twentieth-century. (Would You Become a Sin Eater?) *** Dr Richard Gallagher is a New York psychiatrist and a psychiatric professor. He has spent twenty-five years viewing exorcisms – and he says 'fallen angels' target the devout AND those who've meddled with the occult. He says it outright – being possessed by a demon can and does happen, and he has seen it all too often.

HOUR ONE: If their walls could talk, lighthouses could share many stories from the past. Unfortunately, these objects don’t have the ability to tell their tales – but the phantoms that haunt them just might. ==========HOUR TWO: Is it possible that the monster your child sees under the bed or in the closet isn’t imaginary after all? We look at some true stories of people coming face to face with monsters in their own home. (When The Monster in the Closet is Real) *** Even for those immersed in Ufology, for many, a certain controversial subject is so troubling and disturbing they choose to outright ignore it, and seldom speak of it. It’s the question – are UFOs stealing humans’ souls? (Soul-Stealing Extraterrestrials) *** Stories of prisons housing the spirits of the dead is already dreary, but in England there is a prison called “The Cage” - and the haunting spirits there are real-life witches. (The Prison Haunted by Witches)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: People have said they feel drained after seeing Black-Eyed Kids, or exhausted when speaking with whom they later discovered was a self-proclaimed vampire. Is it possible that otherworldly, ghostly entities, interdimensional creatures, and even occultist human beings are, in some way, literally feeding on us?

THE TRUE CRIME CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: Dorothy Kilgallen, a renowned journalist and TV personality, was known for her fearless investigative work, especially her pursuit of the truth surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Despite being a celebrated figure on the show "What's My Line?" and a successful columnist, Kilgallen's life took a mysterious turn when she died in 1965 from an alleged overdose. Many believe her death was not accidental. Author Mark Shaw, among others, suspects foul play, claiming Kilgallen was silenced because of the sensitive information she uncovered about Kennedy’s assassination and her intentions to expose it. Shaw’s investigation reveals new details, including questionable autopsy results, Kilgallen’s ties to key figures, and cryptic writings from a supposed confidant. Was Kilgallen's death a tragic accident, or was she the journalist who knew too much? The mystery continues to unravel as more secrets come to light.SOURCES…Jessika M.

(The Screaming Waitress) *** Not all monsters in the closet are imaginary – as one parent found out. (The Bad Man In The Closet) *** Most stories of people being abducted by aliens, or being experimented on by extraterrestrials are often chalked up to something like sleep paralysis. But what if the aliens leave behind scars on your body that cannot be explained? (They Came Into My Bedroom) *** At the end of the podcast… what’s the deal with Friday the 13th? When did it begin? Is there anything to it? Is there anything we can do about it?

But in 1935 another man’s brutal deeds earned him the same nickname… only his story wasn’t Hollywood fiction.

This is known as Exploding Head Syndrome, and if you’ve experienced it, you’ve likely not got long to live. Or do you? (Exploding Head Syndrome) *** In 1944, the small town of Mattoon, Illinois was terrorized by a man in black who, according to witnesses and testimony, attacked unsuspecting homeowners with a paralyzing gas he would spray through their windows.

When I was in high school a book of Batman stories came out called “The Further Adventures of Batman: 14 All New Adventures of the Caped Crusader”. It was filled with short stories by several different authors, and it was different than anything else I’d read from the Dark Knight’s exploits, because this wasn’t a comic book – there were no pictures, just story after story. Somehow it kept my interest, and I remembered it today from back in 1989 when I read it for the first time – the year it came out. The first story was the one I remembered best, so it’s the one I bring to you tonight… it’s called “Death of the Dream Master” by Robert Sheckley. I’ve linked to the book it’s from below in the sources/references.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Death of the Dream Master” by Robert Sheckley, from the book “The Further Adventures of Batman: 14 All New Adventures of the Caped Crusader” (edited by Martin H.

Darkness Syndicate members get the commercial-free version with all artwork created for the YouTube and podcast thumbnails: https://www.patreon.com/posts/111951690IN THIS EPISODE: it’s the classic horror story, “The Call of Cthulhu” by H.P. Lovecraft. Howard Phillips Lovecraft was an American author of fantasy, horror and science fiction. He is notable for blending elements of science fiction and horror; and for popularizing "cosmic horror": the notion that some concepts, entities or experiences are barely comprehensible to human minds, and those who delve into such risk their sanity – which describes well what you are about to hear. Lovecraft has become a cult figure in the horror genre and is noted as creator of the "Cthulhu Mythos," a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a "pantheon" of nonhuman creatures, as well as the famed Necronomicon, a grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works typically had a tone of "cosmic pessimism," regarding mankind as insignificant and powerless in the universe – again, something you will hear in “The Call of Cthulhu”. Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, and his works, particularly early in his career, have been criticized as occasionally ponderous, and for their uneven quality. Nevertheless, Lovecraft’s reputation has grown tremendously over the decades, and he is now commonly regarded as one of the most important horror writers of the 20th Century, exerting an influence that is widespread, though often indirect. This is another episode in which I will be treating the source material as if I’ve been paid to narrate the audiobook – so I will be leaving all language by the author exactly as it was written. There are a couple of racist terms used in the story which I would never utter in my own conversations or even give my brain permission to think of as anything less than inappropriate, but they are used in the original text and I feel it is best to keep history as it is rather than trying to reinvent it, or cover it up. Just know that the words and thoughts are obviously not mine, but those of the author, H.P. Lovecraft, during a time almost 100 years ago when such terms were not as divisive as they are today.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Call of Cthulhu” by H.P.

Just about everyone knew about “Black Aggie,” the statue of a draped, melancholy and mysterious woman seated at the Agnus family plot in the south-facing side of the cemetery in Pikesville. Word was that her stony eyes turned red at night. Sit on her lap at midnight and you would meet your own end within two weeks. Teens, often fueled by beer and bravado, travelled to Druid Ridge at night to test the rumor. It was terrifying, exhilarating and the stuff of Baltimore urban legends for years. By 1967, she was she had disappeared. We’ll look at the legend of Black Aggie. (Black Aggie) *** The story of Morrow Road is one of Michigan’s oldest and most enduring legends. There are many versions of the legend – but all of them contain two disturbing elements… a missing child, and a ghostly mother desperately looking for him. But the tragedy doesn’t end there – as there have been some harrowing experiences for those who have gone searching for the spectral mother. (The Grieving Ghost of Morrow Road) *** Asylum 49, formerly the Tooele Hospital in Utah, is a place where the lines between the living and the dead blur in terrifying ways. Half abandoned medical facility turned haunted attraction, half functioning retirement home, this schizophrenic building is home to spectral nurses, mischievous child spirits, and a sinister man in black… and not just for Halloween – but all year round. The old hospital’s haunted reputation has even drawn ghost hunters and mediums who claim it hides a portal to another dimension. (Asylum 49 – A Haunted Haunted Attraction) *** A family moves into a new home only to find they aren’t alone. Items began disappearing, then reappearing later. The lights would turn on and off on their own. Typical poltergeist activity – but when they started to do renovations to the home, the paranormal activity escalated… and after some investigation, they found their ghost had a very sad story to tell.

THE TRUE STORY THIS EPISODE IS BASED ON: In 1954, 11-year-old Jeanette Earnest was abducted by her uncle, 48-year-old Thurman Priest, in Fort Worth, Texas. Jeanette's mother Nadine had previously noticed Priest's inappropriate obsession with Jeanette and tried to keep him away from her daughter. After the abduction, Priest took Jeanette to motels in Texas, Kansas and Missouri. Evidence suggests he sexually assaulted her during this time. Jeanette tried to escape at one point but Priest caught her and forced her back into the car. Priest eventually shot and killed Jeanette, leaving her body in a wooded area off a highway in Missouri. He was arrested after calling his wife from a motel. Priest claimed he and Jeanette were in love, but more likely she rejected his sexual advances, leading him to kill her in anger. In 1955, Priest was convicted of the murder and sentenced to life in prison. He died of a heart attack in prison in 1960.SOURCES…Robert A.

Witnesses say it’s armed with spikes, it spits venom, and if you get too close it can even take you down with an electric shock. It’s known as the Mongolian Death Worm. If you’ve not heard of it, it’s because no one to date has yet been able to photograph it. So does that mean it doesn’t exist? Or is it just too fast to capture on film? (The Mongolian Death Worm) *** Mount Pentelicus near Athens, Greece, is where the marble was cut to build the Parthenon. But more recently it has a more sinister reputation – for being haunted. Particularly around a certain cave known as “Davelis Cave.” (The Penteli Cave Enigma) *** Do you have people in your lives that you can’t stand? A co-worker perhaps, or a family member, or a grumpy neighbor. You may call them “toxic”, but there was a lady who was so noxious that people couldn’t literally stand her. Her name was Gloria Ramirez. (The Toxic Woman) *** For six years, Fritz Haarmann used his position as a police informant to hide in plain sight while he carried out at least 24 grisly murders as the "Vampire of Hanover." He was also called by some “The Butcher of Hanover”. But neither nickname given to him by the public comes remotely close to describing how evil the man truly was, or how gruesome his crimes actually were.

(The Werewolf Panic of the 1970s) *** Where do urban legends come from? We’ll look at some of the most famous ones, and the history behind them. (The Legends Behind Urban Legends) *** You might remember the film starring Clint Eastwood about the famous 1962 Alcatraz prison escape. Officially the men were declared dead, failing to make it to shore and drowning in the turbulent waters surrounding the prison island. But is the official story the true story, or did they make it across alive after all?

What began as a seemingly random killing at a railyard soon revealed a chilling conspiracy involving Robert, his wife Sabrina, and her firefighter lover Jonathan. It’s a story of faith, infidelity, and fatal attraction. (The Deadly Trinity of Love, Faith, And Murder) *** In the heart of the Bolivian Amazon, paramedic Paul Parada's routine night shift takes an extraordinary turn when he treats an injured seven-foot-tall, pale-skinned stranger with telepathic abilities. What begins as an unusual medical emergency evolves into a close encounter of the third kind, complete with a hovering UFO and robotic alien companions. (The Medic And The Martian) *** In the early hours of a June morning in 2007, a routine newspaper delivery in Raleigh, North Carolina, stumbled upon a scene that would haunt the community for years to come. The brutal murder of Jennifer "Jenna" Nielsen, a pregnant 22-year-old mother of two, left investigators baffled and a family shattered. Since then, the trail of evidence has gone cold and a killer is still at large… and the quest for justice continues to go unfulfilled. (No Justice For Jenna) *** In the early 1900s, a charming Hungarian tinsmith named Bela Kiss concealed a horrifying secret behind his amiable facade. When authorities uncovered 24 pickled corpses in metal drums at his residence, they exposed a chilling tale of deception, murder, and possible vampirism that would haunt Hungary for decades. But the most terrifying aspect of Kiss's gruesome legacy may be that despite an intense manhunt, the "Vampire of Cinkota" vanished without a trace, leaving the world to wonder if he truly escaped justice or if his dark practices granted him an unnaturally long life. (A Different Vampire Named Bela) *** The world of Jewish folklore is chilling – with nightmarish creatures lurking in the shadows. From vampiric Estries and demonic Agrat bat Mahlat to the colossal Leviathan and the mysterious giants called Nephilim, Jewish teachings and beliefs are full of supernatural beings that have not been satisfied to only haunt the Torah… many have made their way into the world at large, invading our literature and even pop culture.

We’ll look at numerous examples of seances and Ouija board sessions that went horrifyingly wrong, one particular demon who seems to show up more often than others that should scare the hell out of you, and later in the episode we’ll look at the flip side of seances – the ones that aren’t real at all. We’ll talk about masquerading mediums, imitation investigators, and dubious demonologists. Perhaps this episode will serve as a cautionary tale to leave the dead to rest in peace.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“When Ouija and Seances Go Horrifyingly Wrong” uses research from Melissa Brinks: https://tinyurl.com/y24rylju, and Jacob Shelton: https://tinyurl.com/yx48q3e6“Zozo The Ouija Demon” by Maggie Clendenin: https://tinyurl.com/y5aynmj9“Masquerading Mediums, Imitation Investigators, and Dubious Demonologists” by Melissa Brinks: https://tinyurl.com/yyrbfz2uWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/mpnupyauIN THIS EPISODE: Desolate vistas, noxious gas, people sinking into the ground – no this isn’t a description of a scene from a horror film. It’s every day life in Centralia, Pennsylvania, a creepy abandoned town that’s been on fire since 1962, and was the inspiration for one of the most terrifying video games ever created. (Centralia, Pennsylvania: The Real Life ‘Silent Hill’) *** Once upon a time, there was a boy from the wrong side of the tracks. He fell in love with a girl whose parents disapproved, and they ran away to be together… Sound familiar? I guarantee you haven’t heard this love story, which is, as the newspapers put it, “as unique a romance as ever a pair of young lovers engaged in.” And for once, the newspapers weren’t exaggerating. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll want to bang your head against the nearest wall when you hear the story. (Romance In The Time of Ice Cream Sundaes) *** We’ve all gone to the bathroom or kitchen sink for a drink of water. Have you ever had a sip of that water and suddenly one day it tastes a bit… off? In most cases it’s nothing to worry about, something innocuous has seeped into the water line but is harmless and disappears quickly. But then there are times it’s something to worry about – like when you are unwittingly drinking the liquified remains of a corpse.

But some of the races were quite strange – a bit too strange to be believed. Are we trying to erase perhaps thousands of years in our history, just because the facts do not fit in our history books? (Mysterious Humanoids Existed With People Millenniums Ago) *** In the middle of the 20th century, people across the United States called for the closure of mental asylums.

HOUR ONE: Investigators noted the hair on the alleged victim's arms was singed, and the skin burned. The grass where he claimed to have had the encounter was also scorched. Did this scoutmaster and the boys with him truly experience a real UFO sighting in 1952, or was it all a hoax? (The Scouts and the UFO) *** An atheist tells his story about being possessed by demons... or maybe he wasn’t. (I Thought I Was Possessed By The Devil) *** Is the Thunderbird real or myth?  Most would say it is myth – or if it was real, it’s now extinct. But then how do you explain sightings of the massive airborne creature as recently as 2018? (The Giant Thunderbird Lives) *** Sometimes, the darkness of night can hide frightening secrets. Especially if you are alone. (You’ll Never Guess What Happened While You Were Asleep)==========HOUR TWO: Different peoples build their identity around different facets of their culture: the Italians around their food, the Greeks around their architecture, America around expanding waistlines. The Isle of Man, however, has pinned its identity today on low tax rates, motorcycle races and, oh yes… mermaids and fairies. (Catching Mermaids on Man) *** Would you be willing to eat your meals off the chest of a corpse, in the process, taking on their sins as your own? That’s the gruesome job of a sin eater – and there were people willing to do it even into twentieth-century. (Would You Become a Sin Eater?) *** Dr Richard Gallagher is a New York psychiatrist and a psychiatric professor. He has spent twenty-five years viewing exorcisms – and he says 'fallen angels' target the devout AND those who've meddled with the occult. He says it outright – being possessed by a demon can and does happen, and he has seen it all too often. (Psychiatrist Says Demonic Possession Is Real) *** UK homeowners believe their homes are haunted and want to rid themselves of them, while Americans don’t care if a house is haunted so long as it has a swimming pool!

She can form into the shape of an owl at will. She usually haunts churches, towers, and barns. We’ll look at the vampiric demon named Strix. *** Is it possible that you are, without even knowing it, reacting to the energy around you in a way others don’t? Could you be clairsentient? *** Some believe the secretive society known as the Freemasons are so powerful and influential, that they have members in all branches of the government, in almost all countries around the world. Is it possible then that they could make an outspoken critic of the society inexplicably disappear? *** Are you finding it difficult to live under the COVID-19 quarantine? Finding self-isolation torturous? If so, you might want to hear from those who lived through the Middle Ages! *** The murder of Jennifer Pan's mother and attempted murder of her father was not an explosive act of violence, it was a pre-planned orchestrated ‘hit’ designed for maximum effect. How and why would a 24-year-old do such a horrific thing? *** It’s been called “the most dangerous threat to American sovereignty”; “An anti-human document, which takes aim at Western culture, and the Judeo-Christian and Islamic religions,” that will bring “new Dark Ages of pain and misery yet unknown to mankind,” and “abolish golf courses, grazing pastures and paved roads,” in the name of creating a “one-world order.” What is Agenda 21?CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Title Story Preview and Show Open00:03:12.966 = The Agenda 21 Conspiracy00:13:50.789 = Strix: The Demon Vampire With Two Souls00:18:48.661 = Are You Clairsentient? 00:23:58.259 = The Disappearance of an Anti-Mason00:43:31.089 = The Girl Next Door Who Arranged Her Parents’ Murder00:53:50.456 = Show CloseSOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Strix: The Demon Vampire With Two Souls” by A.

She’s now in prison – and says she loves it there. (The Murderess Who Loves Life in Prison) *** Bioluminescence is a fascinating trait, giving certain animals the ability to create their own light – literally glowing in the dark. The phenomenon has also been seen in humans, but only with special optics – it’s not visible to the naked eye. Except, that is, for a handful of very rare and unexplainable cases – one in which a woman’s breasts would glow. (The Strange Case of the Woman With Glowing Breasts) *** Vampires are everywhere – television, film, graphic novels, video games, books, and more cosplay than you can sink your teeth into. While our interest in blood-sucking creatures of the night is ubiquitous, it is by no means new. Before vampires sparkled in the sun, spoke in a Hungarian accent, or even crossed the mind of Bram Stoker, they’ve been terrorizing young and old alike… and have been doing so for almost a thousand years. But while we see the fanged fiends as entertainment, those before us saw them as a very real and evil danger. (Medieval Vampires) *** They seem to fall directly from the above – stones, falling upon unsuspecting people – sometimes by the dozens – and sometimes not from the sky, but from their own home’s ceiling.

The water is so caustic that it can burn the skin and eyes of unprepared creatures. And it can turn flesh into stone.

(In Cold Blood: The Clutter Murders) *** In the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, the giant threatens to eat Jack by killing him and grinding his bones into bread.

If Houdini couldn't reach his wife from the other side, then certainly no one else could, either, right?  But that being said, J.D. has had some weird stuff take place in his life.  (My Many Ghostly Encounters) *** Soon after moving into a sprawling Denver mansion, Russell Hunter sensed he wasn't alone.  I’ll share true events that inspired the film, “The Changeling”. (The Real Life Events That Inspired “The Changeling”) *** For those who claim to have spoken with extraterrestrials, they are told the aliens arrive here from other worlds. But what if the so-called aliens aren’t really aliens at all – what if they humans, visiting from the future? (Aliens: Us From a Future Time?) *** Do parallel dimensions really exist?  And if they do, is it possible to travel to them?  Two people have stories that might have you believing you can – one of them having “Lunch In a Different Dimension”.  Weirdo family member Kayla Moore sends an original story of her own creation that she calls “The Han House”.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00.00.000 = Title Story Preview and Show Open00:03:23.395 = Aliens: Us From a Future Time?00:12:22.269 = My Many Ghostly Encounters00:31:29.404 = The Real Life Events That Inspired “The Changeling”00:37:37.681 = The Forgotten Epidemic00:43:19.968 = Lunch In a Different Dimension00:59:13.927 = The Han House01:20:10.969 = Show CloseSOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Aliens: Us From a Future Time?” by Nick Redfern: http://bit.ly/2JptCDF“My Many Ghostly Encounters” by J.D.

The creature is rumored to be up to 30 feet long, with a mane of hair running along its back. Is it a yet undiscovered species of fish? A giant eel? A cousin to the Loch Ness monster in Scotland – or even perhaps a living dinosaur? No one has yet been able to answer the question – but this August, monster hunters from around the globe are coming together in Ireland to try and find answers.

THE TRUE CRIME CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: On March 19, 1960, Sharon Kinne, a young housewife from Independence, Missouri, reported that her husband, James Kinne, had been accidentally shot by their toddler. The police ruled the death an accident, but suspicions around Sharon began to mount. Soon after, she began an affair with a car salesman named Walter Jones, whose wife Patricia later went missing. Sharon was the last person to see Patricia alive, and Patricia’s body was eventually found, riddled with bullets, in a remote area. Sharon was arrested and charged with Patricia’s murder, as well as the murder of her husband, James. However, her trials were fraught with complications. She was acquitted of Patricia’s murder due to a lack of evidence, and her conviction for James’s murder was overturned on a technicality, leading to multiple retrials that ended in mistrials and hung juries. Before her fourth trial for James’s murder could take place, Sharon fled to Mexico with a boyfriend. There, she killed an American tourist, Francisco Parades Ordoñez, under suspicious circumstances, claiming self-defense. She was convicted of homicide in Mexico and earned the nickname "La Pistolera" during her time in prison. In December 1969, Sharon Kinne escaped from the Mexican prison, and despite a brief search by authorities, she was never found. Her whereabouts remain unknown, and her warrant for the murder of James Kinne is still active, making it one of the longest outstanding felony warrants in U.S. history. Sharon Kinne's dramatic life and unsolved disappearance have made her a notorious figure, with many believing she is still alive somewhere, continuing to evade justice.SOURCES…Jessica Ferri, The-Line-Up.com: https://the-line-up.com/sharon-kinne-la-pistoleraMusic provided by Alibi Music Library= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Whether you hear voices calling to you at night or come face-to-face with something that's not of this world, it is definitely better when at least one person will back you up, or else you might question your own sanity.

HOUR ONE: Love, money, divorce, anger, and murder. One Pennsylvania family had it all and then some in the late 1800’s. (The Butler County Tragedy) *** Count Saint Germain and Jacques Saint Germain, John and Wayne Carter, the Casket Girls of New Orleans. Despite many years between all of their lives, they all still have one grisly thing in common. All were thought to be, and possibly were, real vampires tied to the Big Easy… a place where real blood-suckers continue to live and roam the streets even now in the twenty-first century. (Vampires of New Orleans) *** They have a long history in the United Kingdom, stalking the moors and fog-carpeted streets in the night. But it appears hounds from Hell have also made their way to the Americas. (American Hellhounds)==========HOUR TWO: On a barren field in the U.S. state of Georgia, five granite slabs rise in a star pattern. Each of them weighs over 20 tons and on top of them, there is a capstone. Nobody knows who built it or why they were placed there, but one popular opinion that their purpose is to guide humanity after a predicted post-apocalyptic event that will come in the not so distant future.  (The American Stonehenge) *** When you think "fairies," what comes to mind? You probably picture an adorable and sparkly creature akin to Disney's Tinker Bell, a lovely - and above all, friendly - presence. You may even want to make contact with them. Unfortunately, glittering humanoids with butterfly wings are the stuff of children's books. Retrace faerie folklore, and you'll discover their secret scary origins. (The Dark Side of Fairies) *** In the Summer of 1949, a geologist named Vadim Kolpakov discovered a strange feature on the surface of the earth in the Bodaibo, Irkutsk, region of South-Eastern Siberia.  Encircled by a largely treed area, this anomaly is oval with a conical crater that contains a small ball-like mound in its middle.  The geologic mystery has baffled scientists who are uncertain of what caused this weird formation. (What Caused the Patomskiy Crater) *** Is there any truth behind the enduring legend of the werewolf?

THE TRUE CRIME CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: In 1908, Sarah Koten, an unmarried immigrant nurse, took justice into her own hands after enduring a horrific crime. Dr. Martin Auspitz, her employer, had raped her, resulting in a pregnancy. When the courts and law enforcement failed to help her, Sarah lured Auspitz to an abandoned house and shot him dead. Her case quickly became a national sensation, with the press initially vilifying her as a hysterical woman. However, public perception shifted after she gave birth to her son in prison, with many viewing her as a victim defending her honor. Sarah's actions were ultimately justified by the courts on the grounds of temporary insanity, leading to her release. Her case inspired other women to retaliate against male aggression, symbolizing a broader fight for women's rights and self-defense during that era. Sarah Koten’s story, however, ended with her disappearance from public life, aided by the Council of Jewish Women, who helped her start anew under a different identity.SOURCES…“It Was My Duty To Kill Him” by Troy Taylor: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckurad3Music provided by Alibi Music Library= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

The Jersey Devil, a creature of nightmares with leathery wings and glowing red eyes, was born from a curse in the 1700s and has endured ever since – with sightings still taking place. (From Leeds to Lore, The Jersey Devil) *** In the mid-1970s, a terrifying predator stalked the streets of Oakland County, Michigan, abducting and murdering four innocent children. For nearly half a century, the identity of the Oakland County Child Killer has eluded investigators, leaving a trail of anguish, conspiracy theories, and unanswered questions in its wake. It’s a cold case that continues to haunt the community, as justice never came. (The Child Predator of Oakland County) *** The Sabretooth Clan… a group of modern-day vampires who blend seamlessly into society by day but embrace their nocturnal alter egos by night. With custom fangs, vintage attire, and a unique philosophy, these "lifestylers" host extravagant balls, perform rituals, and even have their own spiritual pantheon – all while maintaining a strict no-blood-drinking policy. What is it like to live as a vampire? (What Is It Like To Live As a Vampire?) *** In 1864 Canton, Ohio, a romance between German immigrant Ferdinand Hoffman and local girl Caroline Yost spiraled into a tale of deception, abuse, and ultimate tragedy. Their ill-fated union, marred by Hoffman's criminal past and violent tendencies, culminated in a shocking church stabbing and a dramatic manhunt. (The Canton Church Murder) *** From fiery pits to Satan's domain, our modern conception of hell is a tapestry woven from centuries of art, literature, and religious interpretation. But how much of what we believe about the underworld actually aligns with biblical teachings? We’ll look at some common misconceptions about hell, and discover how our cultural understanding of eternal damnation often diverges from scriptural truths.

It's eerie to come across someone with practically the same features and characteristics as yourself or another person you know, and doppelgangers are often seen as spooky. True doppelganger stories can be truly horrifying and often include interesting details about how people tried to interact with their lookalikes. With over 7.5 billion humans in the world, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that there are plenty of people who look uncannily similar to each other. But what about someone who is unrelated to you – but is your exact duplicate? Meeting a doppelganger can be a surreal experience - especially if they suddenly disappear without a trace.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Creepy Encounters With Doppelgangers” by Nathan Gibson: http://bit.ly/2YkPTwL“Robert Hanson: The Butcher Baker” by Orrin Grey: http://bit.ly/30ApyHL“Do The Ghosts Of The Pony Express Still Ride?” by Troy Taylor: http://bit.ly/2YTsnTG“The Tea Set”: http://bit.ly/2LjNYli“The Fleece Inn” was written by Alan Toner (from the book, “100 True Ghost Stories”): https://amzn.com/B00DW64J8S“The Foreshadowing of Things To Come” was written by Cindy Parmiter (from the book, “Fear of the Night: Real Tales of Sleep Paralysis, Night Terrors and Prophetic Dreams”): https://amzn.com/B017IYB5PE“The Encounter” written and illustrated by Paul Spangler: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4yszmvmx“The Grey Lady” submitted by Keith: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/52bmfz7v“The Haunted Workshop” submitted by Steve: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/6t645hxn“Dad’s Ghostly Doppelganger” submitted by Wayne: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/hf2cashn“Recurring Dream” submitted by Steve: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/jxmnneu5“Dream Stalkers” submitted by Alana D.: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/tjh5474z“Poltergeists and Magic” submitted by Mystic G.: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/266bw7xc“Ghost Car” submitted by Steve: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/h3t6eebt“Have You Ever Seen Your Doppelganger?” submitted by Alice C.: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2uc8a2rw“Bedroom Ghost” submitted by Keith: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/jyvycaWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Her fellow hiker/hunter claimed Theresa was abducted by Sasquatch, but authorities suspected foul play. Decades later, Theresa remains missing. (She Was Kidnapped By Bigfoot) *** In the early 1980s, Australia became a hotspot for extraordinary UFO sightings and alien encounters, rivaling those reported in the United States and Europe. From mysterious orange orbs flying in formation to shape-shifting spacecraft and enigmatic beings, these lesser-known incidents suggest that the Land Down Under may hold a special significance for extraterrestrial visitors. Could Australia's unique geography and vast, uninhabited areas be the key to unlocking the secrets of an alien presence on Earth? (Outback Extraterrestrials) *** From 1953 to 1973, the CIA conducted a top-secret mind control program known as Project MKUltra, pushing the boundaries of ethics and legality in the name of national security. Using LSD, hypnosis, and even torture, the agency experimented on unwitting citizens and its own personnel, leaving a trail of controversy and damaged lives in its wake. Decades later, the full extent of MKUltra's operations remains shrouded in mystery, with only fragments of its dark history coming to light through declassified documents and survivor testimonies. (MKUltra and Mind Control) *** From frozen bodies in abandoned buildings to mummified remains in chimneys, there have been numerous chilling discoveries where human remains have been found in the most unexpected places.

Since the advent of civilization we’ve gathered our dead and placed them in burial plots together. And it’s no surprise that people talk of the spirits that linger, not far from the final resting place of their bodies, perhaps clinging to life or serving as a grim omen for what’s to come when we all meet our end.

IN THIS EPISODE: It’s #ThrillerThursday when I bring you stories of fiction – and tonight I have a classic from H.G. Wells entitled “The Inexperienced Ghost”. It’s a short story that blends humor with the supernatural. It was first published in 1902 in the collection “Twelve Stories and a Dream.” The story centers around a man named Clayton who, during a gathering with friends at a London club, tells them an unusual tale about his recent encounter with a ghost. This ghost, however, is unlike typical spectral beings; it is inexperienced and rather inept at haunting. Clayton explains that he encountered the ghost at a house and discovered that it was struggling to perform its ghostly duties. The ghost, which had died only recently, was still getting accustomed to its new existence and was having trouble with the basic mechanics of haunting, such as passing through walls. Clayton, with a mix of curiosity and amusement, decides to help the ghost by giving it advice on how to properly haunt. But things begin to twist in the story, but I’ll refrain from spoilers so those of you who’ve not yet heard the story can enjoy it all the more. “The Inexperienced Ghost” is notable for its witty dialogue, playful exploration of ghostly themes, and its blend of the humorous with the eerie. Wells uses the story to subtly critique the conventions of ghost stories while also providing a unique take on the concept of the afterlife and what it might be like for those unaccustomed to it.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Inexperienced Ghost” by H.G.

Native Americans in the area believe the ranch is plagued by evil creatures known as Skinwalkers, while others claim to have seen UFOs, crop circles, and unexplainable lights.

Did the story they tell in 1961 actually happen – or was it an elaborate hoax? While no one can say for certain, they evidence does seem overwhelming that what they say they experienced as terrifyingly real. *** A woman lives day to day with an entity. *** A strange – and eerie - story of a boy and his dog. *** A girl sees a black-eyed man on a train… and she’s the only one who can see him. *** Only the name of Jesus Christ pushes away a terrifying entity in one girl’s bedroom. *** The crew completely vanished from the ship with no explanation yet to be found. You’d think I would be talking about the legendary Mary Celeste – but there is another ship that suffered a similar fate. *** In 1921, Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle was the highest-paid actor in the world. But before the year was out, he was accused of a crime so monstrous that he would never appear onscreen again. *** A cabin in the middle of the woods, in the middle of the night, a strange figure barely visible in the darkness. It could almost be the setup for a cliché horror movie if it wasn’t real for one man. *** Insanity, tragedy, and death… and that’s just the start of what you’ll find at Loftus Hall, Ireland’s most haunted residence. *** People around the world are reporting an odd phenomenon of walking and suddenly striking what can only be described an an invisible barrier, like a transparent wall. Are the reports true? And if so, what is causing this?SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…***Links and attributions for the stories in this episode have been lost.

HOUR ONE: Did she drown? Did she commit suicide? Despite her death in 1889, we still don’t know how Maggie Hourigan died. (The Mystery of Maggie Hourigan) *** In 1958 Gavin Gibbons wrote a children’s science-fiction novel By Space Ship to the Moon, which featured a UFO landing on Moel Sych in the Berwyn Mountains of North Wales. Sixteen years later, in a surreal case of life imitating art, those very same mountains would again be the focus for a story involving a downed UFO. But this time, some said, the story was for real. (The UFO Case That Refuses to Die) *** What if creatures like gnomes and imps aren’t just real – but also evil? (Nasty Gnomes, Evil Imps and Terrifying Tommyknockers)==========HOUR TWO: “Jerry Meets A Sasquatch” *** Greer Island, a small patch of land close to where the West Fork of the Trinity River flows into Lake Worth, is heavily shaded by tall oaks, cedar elms and cottonwoods. One of the quietest spots in Fort Worth, the island is home to egrets and owls, perhaps an alligator or two. And maybe, just maybe, the Lake Worth Monster. (The Lake Worth Monster) *** In 2017, Washington State Senator Karen Keiser was quoted as saying, “The incidents continue, they continue, and we have to consider that there is potential cosmic life over the island… it’s a very special place, with a cosmic presence.” What exactly happened on Maurey Island in 1947?

Are these submerged realms hiding the true secrets of alien life on Earth? (Extraterrestrials In The Abyss) *** In 1969, a strange man's disturbing "joke" about strangling a woman led to the unraveling of a horrific series of murders. Jerome "Jerry" Brudos, known as the "Shoe Fetish Killer," had been living a double life - family man by day, brutal serial killer by night. Somehow, his childhood obsession with women's shoes spiraled into a murderous rampage that shocked the public and ended only when a secret workshop revealed its grisly contents. (The Shoe Fetish Killer) *** In the heart of New Orleans' Garden District stands Buckner Mansion, a breathtaking testament to antebellum opulence and a magnet for ghost hunters and history buffs alike. Built to outshine its rivals, this Greek Revival masterpiece has witnessed over 150 years of triumphs, tragedies, and unexplained phenomena. From its days as a slaveholder's showpiece to its starring role in TV’s "American Horror Story," Buckner Mansion continues to captivate visitors with its grandeur and the persistent whispers of its spectral inhabitants. (White Columns, Dark Secrets: The Buckner Mansion) *** In the 6th century AD, a terrifying sea monster known as Porphyrios emerged from the depths to wreak havoc on Byzantine ships, challenging even Emperor Justinian's mighty fleet. This legendary whale, whether sperm whale or orca, became the stuff of nightmares for sailors and the subject of heated debate among historians for centuries. (The Bosphorus Beast Porphyrios) *** The enigmatic Nazca lines have puzzled archaeologists and enthusiasts for decades, with some claiming they're ancient runways for extraterrestrial visitors or evidence of advanced human flight. But as we delve deeper into the mystery, we find that the truth may be far more grounded in human ingenuity and cultural symbolism than sci-fi fantasies.

(The Tragic Death and Haunting of Jayne Mansfield) *** In 1966 over 300 children and staff from a Melbourne school reportedly witnessed multiple UFOs silently flying through the sky before landing in a nearby field. So why are we only learning of it now, more than 50 years later? (300 Children Saw a UFO) *** We’ve all heard horror stories of people being buried alive. It’s become a trope of television and film.

Since then though, creating life from non-living matter has been limited to stories of fiction. Or has it? A man by the name of Andrew Cross may have actually done it, and even repeated it in a laboratory for others to see. If this is true, what happened? Why can’t we replicate his results now, almost 200 years later? *** He was so vicious, even he admitted that he was pure evil. But although serial killer Sean Vincent Gillis may readily have confessed to his crimes, and even perhaps expressed some genuine remorse, the details of his murders will surely leave you thinking that he was nothing but pure evil indeed. *** How did the tooth fairy come into being? Such a strange little sprite most assuredly has just as strange of a history. *** A 911 call was placed, and the person who made the call wasn’t just reporting a murder; he also admitted to it. But his excuse is beyond bizarre.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Death and Haunting of Jayne Mansfield” by Troy Taylor: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/n7bdza8“Barbara Mackle Was Buried Alive” by Kara Goldfarb: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/u4p5zx4r“The UFO Seen By 300 Children” by Alley Foster: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/td3vewne“Window View” written by Maggie: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3yhc3rw9(Unfortunately, info for the rest of the stories in this episode has been lost due to a computer crash.

Which just might also give you a bit of a hesitation and a few goosebumps when you experience the next solar eclipse.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…http://www.destinationamerica.com/thehauntist/the-story-of-the-point-pleasant-mothman/https://www.prairieghosts.com/moth.htmlhttps://www.prairieghosts.com/cornstalk.htmlhttps://www.ranker.com/list/true-mothman-stories/lyra-radfordhttps://mysteriousuniverse.org/2013/07/did-mothman-visit-the-uk-in-1963/https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/06/an-update-on-a-sinister-winged-monster/https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/02/night-of-the-living-dead-human-animals/https://www.saltwoodkent.co.uk/island-graveWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

IN THIS EPISODE: It’s Thriller Thursday, and this time I’m bringing you a classic short story of sci-fi horror from Ray Bradbury entitled, “The Jar.” The story takes us to a carnival side show and to, as Bradbury describes it, "one of those pale things drifting in alcohol plasma,.. with its peeled, dead eyes staring out at you and never seeing you." The protagonist of the story is Charlie, a man so charmed with the jar that he persuades the carnival owner to sell it to him. When he takes the jar home, Charlie's poorly constructed living room becomes the focal point for the oddity. People from miles around come to his rundown shack to sit, in his tiny shabby living room and stare, and philosophize over his jar. Strangely, however, each person who looks at the jar sees something different in it. No one can seem to agree on the thing's eye or hair color, and the thing seems to move; it even seems to change. But I’ll leave it there so as to not spoil the story!SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Jar” by Ray Bradbury: https://amzn.to/3LuUyCAWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

(The Babysitter Who Vanished) *** The odd happening that takes place here and there in a house more than likely can be explained in some rational way.

(An Assortment of Experiences) *** Legend tells a centuries-old curse was placed upon Dudleytown in Connecticut. The town turned into a horrible place where people committed suicide or went insane.

(Houdini's Final Performance) *** In the Oakland Cemetery, a bronze monument to tragedy is said to bring death to anyone who touches it. (Black Angel of Death) *** While camping, a man has dreams of a dark-haired woman several nights in a row. Normally it wouldn’t be anything to be all that concerned about, but it’s something to fear if you are near the French Broad river. (Siren of the French Broad) *** Alien visitors, beings from a different dimension, our planet even had tree monsters and sentient pyramids showing up – and all in the year 1965.

HOUR ONE: 

Of course a lot of people likely don’t believe in heaven or hell and many will dismiss such things as mythical tales or folklore. However there are places on Earth that could be considered hell – no not Detroit or Wichita. We’re talking about actual places that look like the entrances to purgatory. And perhaps they really are. (Secret Doors to the Underworld) *** A king, a gossoon and a bear walked into a bar. No, this is not the first line of a joke, but a common occurrence in Potrero Hill in San Francisco, California, during the 1880s. The king was Frank McManus, the gossoon was Frank’s baseball-playing brother, Cornelius, and the bear was a large inebriated ursine. (King of the Irish Hill) *** Why are some people suddenly vigorous, alert, and feeling much better shortly before they pass away? It is something that has happened since time began, but medical experts are still baffled by it. (Terminal Lucidity Phenomenon) *** While many say the most haunted hotel is the one in Colorado that was used in the film “The Shining” - there is evidence that one in Eureka Springs, Arkansas deals with even more paranormal activity. (The Crescent Hotel)==========HOUR TWO: Many tales describe encounters with the devil himself. Yet not all are the same. Sometimes Satan approaches his prey… other times, the lost soul goes seeking Lucifer to make a deal. Either way, the results are never favorable. (Diabolical Dealings With The Devil) *** It wasn’t until recently that I’d even heard of the cryptid, Ahool. In case it’s new to you as well, it’s a winged cryptid that some portray as a giant bat, others claim it’s a flying primate. Personally, I think it looks like a werewolf with bat wings. Whatever it is, we’ll learn a bit more about the Ahool. (The Cry Of The Ahool)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Two men were found dead in the bushes, beheaded… and emasculated. But that was just the beginning of the Mad Butcher’s killing spree. (The Cleveland Torso Murders) *** Seeing reptiles in Oklahoma isn’t all that uncommon – even dinosaur fossils are found in the state. But there have also been reports of something much stranger – a snake/human hybrid creature more terrifying than it sounds. (Oklahoma Snake Man)==========SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT’S SHOW:“Baba Vanga” from Paranormality Magazine: https://weirddarkness.com/magazine“Diabolical Dealings With The Devil” by Laura for Paranormal Scholar: https://tinyurl.com/y94czoxt,https://tinyurl.com/yc5uy7mj“The Cry of the Ahool” by Gary Brandt from Paranormality Magazine: https://weirddarkness.com/magazine“Secret Doors To The Underworld”, by Facts Verse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU6-lfWk3Zo“King of the Irish Hill” by Paul Drexler for Crime Traveller: https://tinyurl.com/y7tmp6lz“Terminal Lucidity Phenomenon” by Cynthia McKanzie for Message to Eagle: http://ow.ly/5G8W30ocL0Q“The Cleveland Torso Murders” by Doug MacGowan for Historic Mysteries: https://tinyurl.com/ycwha94c“The Crescent Hotel” by Amanda Penn for Vocal Media Horror: https://tinyurl.com/ycvral8j“Oklahoma Snake Man” by Bab Salam (link to story no longer exists)==========(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

IN THIS EPISODE: The Czech Republic is one of the most haunted countries in the world… and one of the most haunted locations in the country is “the Green Lobster Hotel”. *** Does your dog bark at seemingly nothing? Perhaps it’s not nothing after all. *** Could a ghostly fiddler in the woods be luring children to their doom in the United Kingdom? *** Emilie Sagee had a spectral twin – a doppelgänger – but it was different than any other “seeing-double” story you’ve heard. *** The Myrtles Plantation is considered one of the most haunted places in all of America – but even stranger is the evidence given to support the claim. *** Could parallel dimensions actually exist?

IN THIS EPISODE: In an effort to test one of his theories on social behavior, psychologist Muzafer Sherif released twenty-two 12-year-old boys into a sparsely supervised wilderness camp — and then covertly provoked them to fight each other. (The Robbers Cave Experiment) *** Witch hunts and trials. They didn’t end in Salem – they live on even today in Papua New Guinea. (Papua New Guinea Witchcraft) *** A man in Japan sees small, childlike ashen white aliens. (Childlike Aliens) *** How can a holy book such as the Christian bible bring bad luck? One paranormal museum in West Virginia has the answer with an infamous display of the 666 Bible. (The 666 Bible) *** The people of Hannibal, Missouri in the late 1800s would remain appalled that one of their most prominent residents could be murdered without retribution. Even a $10,000 reward couldn’t bring justice. (The Stillwell Murder) *** A father takes his son to the ruins of an old, burned down building – and the boy sees something his father doesn’t. (The Old Factory Visit) *** “The Devil’s Advocate” – it’s a phrase that can be traced to the Roman Catholic Church that long had an actual official office for a person who was employed to be exactly that – an advocate for the devil. And he still works for the church even today. (The Devil’s Advocate) *** It’s one of the most-enigmatic unsolved cases of the 21st Century. A family of three goes missing in 2009, and despite an abundance of evidence, law enforcement is no closer to solving this mystery today. In fact, it could even be said that the more clues that are uncovered only result in additional questions.

It's the curious details of a murder case that transfix true crime obsessives. Some have elements that are particularly violent, bloody, gruesome, and unsettling. Worse, some slaying remain unsolved, meaning that the perpetrator disappeared into the night after the deed was finished. From the infamous Black Dahlia murder case to America's Jack the Ripper, from "the Lady of the Dunes" and Bella in the Wych Elm to the brutal yogurt shop slayings in Austin, Texas, here’s a collection of mysterious, unsolved murders we can't stop talking about.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Unsolved Murders That Will Send Shivers Down Your Spine” posted at The-Line-Up.com: http://ow.ly/8Pu830n5ib3(used with permission)Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

IN THIS EPISODE: In Japanese folklore there lurks a vengeful spirit known as Teke Teke, her upper body dragging along at impossible speeds with a chilling "teke teke" sound. If you hear her approach, run fast and be kind to others, for her wrath falls upon the cruel - and those who are unlucky enough to cross her path may find themselves torn in two, joining her in death. (The Terrifying Tale of Teke Teke) *** Strange occurrences took place in 1955 on a property near Mayanup, West Australia. Bill and Ethel Hack witnessed a series of inexplicable phenomena which Ethel meticulously recorded. From eerie whistling sounds and stones falling from the sky to strange lights and violent disturbances, Ethel’s detailed written account reveals the chaos and fear that gripped their property, affecting both the Hacks and their aboriginal workers. Despite numerous investigations, the mystery of the Mayanup poltergeist remains unresolved, captivating paranormal enthusiasts and researchers to this day. (The Mayanup Australia Entity) *** In June 1977, Portuguese Air Force pilot Jose Francisco Rodrigues encountered a mysterious UFO over the Castelo de Bode Dam, leading to a near-fatal dive and unexplained aircraft malfunctions. Despite numerous witnesses and a thorough investigation, the incident remains an unsolved incident. (The 1977 Near Miss With a UFO In Portugal) *** Just three days after Christmas in 1978, Bob Young and his girlfriend Elizabeth Andes were preparing to move out of their shared apartment in Oxford, Ohio. When Bob returned to help with the final cleanup, he found their apartment dark and silent. Inside, he discovered Elizabeth's lifeless body, brutally murdered in their bedroom, sparking a horrific mystery that would haunt the small college town for decades – and put Bob Young in the crosshairs of local law enforcement. (The Shocking Unsolved Murder of Elizabeth Andes) *** Everybody has heard of teleportation, alien abductions and poltergeists, but without the pioneering work of Charles Fort, it’s unlikely any of these phenomena would have entered public consciousness.

What’s going on there? And what happens if you decide to climb the fence to get in?

PLEASE SHARE THIS EPISODE in your social media so others who love strange and macabre stories can listen too! https://weirddarkness.com/listen==========HOUR ONE: During the bubonic plague in the early Middle-Ages, those who became sick and were even suspected of having the plague, were forced to relocate to a quarantined island – Poveglia Island. The gruesomeness that took place there still continues today, with the island being illegal to visit – and reportedly, very haunted. (Inside Black Plague Island) *** We look at some of the bathing – and lack thereof – that took place during the bubonic plague, as well as some of the beliefs they had about diet and how it might protect from contagion. Some of the ideas of what people thought could protect them from the disease are nothing short of shocking. (Living With The Black Death)==========HOUR TWO: About 80 years after the black plague began, a different plague came upon England – a fatal one that would cause you to almost instantly perspire to death. (Death By Sweat) *** Most everyone is familiar with the plague in Europe in the early 1400s – but in the early 1900s it struck again. This time in San Francisco. If you’ve not heard that before, it could be because the U.S. government tried to cover it up. (The Plague of San Francisco) *** Of all the imagery that comes to mind when hearing the words “bubonic plague” the most prevalent is most certainly that of the doctors – and the odd, bird-like masks they would wear. Why they dressed that way is interesting – but what the doctors did while wearing those suits and in their labs as they tried to battle the illness is absolutely horrifying. (Plague Doctors) *** And it probably comes as no surprise that something so deadly and horrific as the black plague would leave behind some residual paranormal energy – and boy is there a lot of it. (A Plague of Ghosts)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: We look at some of the bathing – and lack thereof – that took place during the bubonic plague, as well as some of the beliefs they had about diet and how it might protect from contagion.

IN THIS EPISODE: 
This week I’m bringing you a guest-teacher… the pastor of Stateline Church in Rockford, Illinois – Greg Giamalva. This is from Sunday, June 30th where he is starting a new series entitled “ASSASSINS” – and this first message really is powerful and applies to all of us. One particular line in the sermon was especially poignant. Regarding sin, “Compromise will have you feed what you are called to fight.” Greg talks about how easy it is to fall into compromise, a tiny step here, a tiny step there, we don’t even think about it or consider it a problem – until we’re right there on the precipice. And he uses Samson to paint the picture. If you want to hear more from Pastor Greg, you can download the Stateline Church app, the podcast, or look for Stateline Church on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@StatelineChurch.Hear previous messages and find our social media at https://WeirdDarkness.com/Church!

IN THIS EPISODE: Have you heard of the “Death Positive” movement? Would you visit a Death Cafe? Would you join a Coffin Club? Why the sudden positive twist on what is typically so morbid? What’s so great about death? (Discourse At The Death Diner) *** When it comes to homes, the ghosts go bump in the night. When it comes to automobiles, do they go honk in the night? (Cursed Cars and Haunted Hoopties) *** Airline pilots in the UK are reporting strange objects in the sky. Not just one pilot, but several. And not just one UFO, but many. And the sightings were close. Very close. So close that they are being described as “near misses”. (Airliners Almost Crash Into UFOs) *** In today’s world, parents often worry about whether their kids are eating healthy and getting a good education, and in the case of long car trips, whether the children have their phones fully charged. It’s tough being a modern parent, but at least you don’t have to worry like Europeans did about your spawn being snatched by fairies. (Child Snatching Fairies) *** Two men go out for a weekend of elk hunting – and come back with the story of a creature so strange they don’t know what to call it. (Close Encounter at Pot Mountain) *** At a downtown Chicago church, people are turning up in droves – not for the preaching or the powerful worship band – but to see a painting of the Virgin Mary, crying real tears.

IN THIS EPISODE: A 1930s art deco swimming pool is not the first place you think of when people mention the most haunted places in the country. So why is this 85-year-old building bursting at the seams with spirits and specters? The answer to that is not any easy one to give.  (The Haunted Smethwick Baths) *** They look strange, there’s a weird otherworldliness to them, when encountered people often find the’ve lost hours of time with no memory, and the beings are often known to abduct people in the middle of the night. It sounds like I’m describing alien abduction – but the same, all of it, can also be said of fairie folk in European legend. Is it possible there is a connection? Could the mythical fairies of old actually be the extraterrestrials we tell stories about today? (The Extraterrestrials Want Twinkies) *** Elsie Eiler pays taxes... to herself. She grants her own liquor license to herself for the tavern she owns – which is possible when you are the mayor… and bartender… and law enforcement, and even the librarian. You see, Elsie Eiler is the sole resident of Monowi, Nebraska – but that doesn’t mean she’s alone. 
(Monowi, Nebraska – Population One) *** They don’t try for a perfect likeness. They have to suppress their creativity. They even find help from birds nests.

IN THIS EPISODE: Of all the instances of cannibalism found in human history, no one quite practiced it like some in China used to. In these cases, cannibalism came in the form of eating mellified flesh for medicinal purposes. In 16th century China, mellification was a way for elderly people nearing the end of their lives to donate their body to science. The idea, originally derived from an Arabic recipe, was that they could turn their bodies into medicine that would be ingested by their descendants to alleviate ailments like broken bones. The process of mellification was a gruesome one. In short, it consisted of very slowly turning one’s body into a mummified human candy bar. And that’s not even the worst part — for mellification to be the most effective, the process started while the person was still alive.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“And Mellified Man for Dessert” by Katie Serena: https://tinyurl.com/rjwv5cw“Honey, I’m Dead” by Paul Salopek: https://tinyurl.com/wz23h9d“Sugar-Glazed Grandpa” by Brent Swancer: https://tinyurl.com/w2mqzyp“Self-Mummification” from Stranger Remains: https://tinyurl.com/w795gxp“Better Health Through Cannibalism” by Natalie Zarrelli: https://tinyurl.com/tsqhqbl“Corpse Medicine” by Maria Dolan: https://tinyurl.com/y6spcbcbWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

IN THIS EPISODE: Could there be floating balls of light not only possessed of some sort of intelli­gence, but which are capable of forming a unique bond with a person and even delivering painful stings when they so choose? (Sentient Fireballs and Biting Lights) *** Cattle sometimes die suddenly on Silvies Valley Ranch’s 140,000 acres in Harney County — struck by disease or felled by a broken leg and unable to find a way out of the rugged, forested terrain. But by the time ranch hands discovered four more dead bulls within 24 hours, they knew they were likely dealing with deliberate, premeditated killings. (Oregon Cattle Mutilations) *** To quote one survivor of a near-death experience: “I know of no English words for the combination of joy, ecstasy, love, and requited longing that burned within me. It carried me to a dimension I never knew existed. In that moment, there was no pain of loss, only unity, rapture and reunion.” Is it possible that we may soon have scientific evidence for what lies beyond the veil? (New Evidence of Life After Death) *** Seeing specters in the reflection of a mirror or piece of glass is not just a cliché movie trope. There is a history that goes along with the happening.

IN THIS EPISODE: “The Billiard Ball” is a science fiction murder mystery short story by author Isaac Asimov, written in September 1966 and first published in the March 1967 issue of “If”. The story is based on a journalist’s tale on the events that occurred when an antigravity device was discovered. The story describes the relationship between the creator of the device, billionaire inventor Edward Bloom, and his old college friend James Priss, a Nobel Prize-winning theoretical physicist who discovered the theory on which Bloom’s invention is based. Both also happen to be very good pool players.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Billiard Ball” by Isaac Asimov: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4a7a9m9aWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

In June of 1975 we were exposed to one of the scariest movies ever made. For this podcaster, it’s just not Independence Day until I watch it – and you still can’t get me to swim in the ocean. We’ll look at what made ‘Jaws’ so successful… and so frightening. We’ll also look at the true story of a string of shark attacks in 1916 that inspired the novel and the film. And while 1975’s ‘Jaws’ was inspired by a series of shark attacks but greatly fictionalized, the film ‘Open Water’ from 2003 is based on a very real and terrifying story. But the truth behind the movie is a dark mystery that goes way beyond the horror of what you see in the film. We’ll look at several other real shark attacks that are almost too incredible to believe, and also try to answer the question as to why shark attacks don’t happen more often as you would expect them to, seeing as humans should be easy pickings.

IN THIS EPISODE: Was the Unidentified Cape Cod Murder Victim an Extra in Jaws? Horror author Joe Hill thinks so. (Murder On The Set of Jaws) *** Of the many mysterious and ominous places on earth, many bodies of water are said to be cursed, haunted, or both.

THE TRUE CRIME CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: Matthew Hoffman, a former tree trimmer turned murderer, became known as "The Leaf Killer" after authorities discovered his gruesome crimes in 2010. Following a downward spiral involving job loss, a breakup, and prison time for arson, Hoffman's behavior grew increasingly erratic. He began spending hours in trees, stalking his neighbors, and developing a disturbing obsession with leaves. Hoffman's fixation turned deadly when he invaded the isolated home of Tina Herrmann in Mount Vernon, Ohio, murdering her, her two children, and her friend Stephanie Sprang. After dismembering their bodies, he hid the remains in a hollow tree. His house, bizarrely filled with piles of leaves, concealed 13-year-old Sarah Maynard, whom he had kidnapped and assaulted. Hoffman’s capture was a result of meticulous police work, which involved tracking his purchases and analyzing security footage. Facing the death penalty, Hoffman confessed and led authorities to the victims' remains in exchange for a life sentence without parole. Sarah Maynard testified at his trial.SOURCES…https://www.ranker.com/list/matthew-hoffman-leaf-case/sonja-skaMusic provided by Alibi Music Library= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

THE TRUE CRIME CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: In the rough and tumble world of 1890s New Jersey, William H. Dunham, owner of two notorious roadhouses, meets a violent end. Known for his ill temper and jealousy, Dunham's life of debauchery and crime catches up with him on the night of December 23, 1891. After a drunken brawl with his wife, "Diamond Kate," and their hostler, Patrick Phelan, Dunham is found shot dead in his own establishment. Despite numerous enemies and a tumultuous personal life, the investigation into Dunham's murder stalls. The discovery of a clean, unfired revolver at the scene and various suspects, including rivals and jilted lovers, complicate the case. Multiple arrests and interrogations yield no conclusive answers, and the once-prominent roadhouse owner’s murder remains unsolved.SOURCES…http://www.murderbygaslight.com/2019/06/the-dunham-murder.htmlMusic provided by Alibi Music Library= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

IN THIS EPISODE: Stories of “wild men”–people who live ferally in nature as any wild animal would do–have been a part of our myths and legends since the dawn of civilization. But they don’t live just in ancient lore… according to the reports, they are being seen even today, despite the modern and technological world surrounding them. (Wild Men In The Hills) *** In 1974 the Smurl family began a 15-year period of terror by an unknown entity. (The Smurl Family Tormentors) *** Weirdo family member John Parish discovers something strange going on in his home’s wood shop. (Woodworking Ghost) *** One of the problems with cryptids such as Bigfoot or Sasquatch is that they leave very little evidence behind of their existence. Their cousin the Yowie leaves even less evidence behind – on the verge of none. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t any evidence.

THE TRUE CRIME CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: On the evening of March 7, 1866, the body of an unknown man was discovered with a gunshot wound to the head at the corner of 100th Street and 2nd Avenue in New York City, a remote area at the time. The large amount of powder around the wound indicated a close-range shot. The man, around 30 years old and fashionably dressed, was found with $15 in his pocket, ruling out robbery as a motive. The crime scene featured an eight-foot embankment and a small stream, where the body lay amidst wagon tracks and men's footprints. A Colt Navy revolver was found at the scene, but it was fully loaded and unfired, discounting suicide. It was believed the man was killed elsewhere and his body dumped to avoid detection. Despite a coroner's inquest confirming murder and a $500 reward from the mayor for information, neither the man nor his killers were ever identified.SOURCES…http://www.murderbygaslight.com/2018/03/a-mysterious-murder.htmlMusic provided by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

IN THIS EPISODE: If there’s one thing on Earth that we can all agree is most likely to be haunted, it’s a graveyard. Since the advent of civilization we’ve gathered our dead and placed them in burial plots together. And it’s no surprise that people talk of the spirits that linger, not far from the final resting place of their bodies, perhaps clinging to life or serving as a grim omen for what’s to come when we all meet our end. Some of these cemeteries, however, boast more ghost stories than others.YOUTUBE CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS…00:00:00.000 = Title Story Preview and Show Open00:05:01.866 = CBS Radio Mystery Theater, “The Old Ones Are Hard To Kill” (January 06, 1974)00:52:06.611 = Weird Darkness, “Resurrection Mary – Chicago’s Most Famous Ghost”01:00:37.213 = I Love a Mystery, “Case of the Roxy Mob” (January 18, 1939)01:16:08.685 = Weird Darkness, “Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery”01:22:35.237 = The Shadow, “The Three Ghosts” (October 31, 1937)01:54:46.740 = Weird Darkness, “The Black Angel of Oakland Cemetery”01:59:38.249 = Weird Darkness, “Hellmouth of Stull Cemetery”02:05:21.623 = Weird Darkness, “Moving Coffins of the Chase Family”02:11:40.802 = Sherlock Holmes, “The Empty House” (October 05, 1932)02:27:34.745 = Weird Darkness, “Most Haunted Graveyards Ever, Part 1”02:41:05.866 = Sleep No More, “Conquerors Isle” (November 21, 1956)03:10:54.364 = Weird Darkness, “Most Haunted Graveyards Ever, Part 2”03:31:19.125 = Sounds of Darkness, “The Neiman Principle” (July 14, 1967)03:58:08.682 = Show CloseSOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Resurrection Mary – Chicago’s Most Famous Ghost” by Elisabeth Tilstra: http://bit.ly/31DKcr4“Black Angel of Oakland Cemetery” by Orrin Grey: http://bit.ly/2OTIPTo“Moving Coffins of the Chase Family” by Elisabeth Tilstra: http://bit.ly/2yVrHlv“Hellmouth of Stull Cemetery” posted at The Line Up: http://bit.ly/2yT1dBc“Colonial Park Cemetery” by Orrin Grey: http://bit.ly/31yX4yw“Bachelor’s Grove” by Orrin Grey: http://bit.ly/2Z0yhG2“The Dead of Hart Island” by Steven Casale: http://bit.ly/2H77spp“The Mausoleum of Mary Reed” by Jessica Ferri: http://bit.ly/302mrby“The Grave of the Female Stranger” by Orrin Grey: http://bit.ly/2OViAfA“Forgotten Graveyards” by Deanna Janes: http://bit.ly/300Duej“The Most Haunted Graveyards Ever” sources: Occult Museum: http://bit.ly/304kX0A, Kimberly Powell: http://bit.ly/2Z0gkmN, Stacy Conradt: http://bit.ly/2YKCIpe, David Ian McKendry: http://bit.ly/2KvMz9nWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

THE TRUE CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: This tragic story recounts the abduction, murder, and subsequent investigation of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway in Westminster, Colorado in October 2012. On October 5, Jessica left for school but never arrived. An extensive search ensued, involving hundreds of volunteers and multiple law enforcement agencies. A week later, Jessica's dismembered body was found in a nearby open space. The investigation initially explored various leads, including a possible connection to another kidnapping case. A crucial break came when police linked Jessica's murder to an attempted abduction at Ketner Lake in May of the same year. On October 23, 17-year-old Austin Reed Sigg confessed to his mother, who then called 911. Sigg admitted to abducting Jessica, sexually assaulting her, and brutally murdering her. He also confessed to the earlier attempted abduction at Ketner Lake. In October 2013, Sigg pleaded guilty to all charges. Due to his age at the time of the crimes, he was sentenced to life in prison plus 86 years, with the possibility of parole after 40 years. The case shocked the community, with the judge describing it as a manifestation of real evil. SOURCES…The Scare Chamber: https://www.thescarechamber.com/jessica-ridgewayMusic provided by Alibi Music Library= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Worse, some slayings remain unsolved, meaning that the perpetrator continued to walk among us after the deed was finished. From the famous Black Dahlia murder and America's Jack the Ripper to a body found in a tree and a weird note left before one German man’s disappearance, in this episode I’ll share several mysterious, unsolved deaths that will chill you to the bone.

IN THIS EPISODE: In 2016,  there was something of a folk panic in Yorkshire, northern England, following reported sightings of an eight-foot werewolf with a very human face. It’s known as the Beast of Barmston Drain – but most people call him “Old Stinker”. (Old Stinker) *** A man in Louisiana has a magnetic personality. Not for the ladies… but for the paranormal. (Paranormal Magnet Man) *** A truck-driver was not prepared for what he experienced one summer night at a tiny truck stop in the middle of nowhere... hardly the place where one would expect a ghost… if that's what it even was. (Phantom of the Truck Stop) *** No animal had ever made such sounds. Neither the lions of East Africa nor the angry bulls. At times, it sounded like a veritable herd of wild beasts orchestrated by Satan had formed a hellish choir. And that was only a small part of the demonic possession of a girl named Clara. (Demonic Possession In South Africa) *** Want to live on the cheap in Tokyo, Japan? It’s easy to do – if you don’t mind living with a ghost or two. (Tokyo Ghosts) *** Cryptozoologists are abuzz about recent sightings of a creature seen in the lakes of Connemara in Ireland. The creature is rumored to be up to 30 feet long, with a mane of hair running along its back. Is it a yet undiscovered species of fish? A giant eel? A cousin to the Loch Ness monster in Scotland – or even perhaps a living dinosaur? No one has yet been able to answer the question – but recently monster hunters from around the globe came together in Ireland to try and find answers. (The Giant Eels of Connemara) *** For decades, mountain hikers have been reporting strange things happening on Mount Everest while scaling to the top. Weird events and encounters that could only be described as supernatural. (The Paranormal of Mount Everest) *** High school teacher Pamela Smart fell in love. Unfortunately, she fell in love with a 15-year-old student… and that is only the beginning of this horrible story. (High School Homicide) *** Weirdo family member, Josh Marinkovic, tells an eerie true experience that would shake anyone to the core. (Oh, He’s Not Home) *** Weirdo family member Cass tells her story of a disturbing dream, a sick friend, and the temptation to sell her soul in order to save her.

THE TRUE CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: In the early morning hours of March 13, 1964, 28-year-old Kitty Genovese was murdered in New York City, a crime that would become infamous due to the claim that 38 witnesses did nothing to help her. This event sparked the development of the "bystander effect" theory, which suggests that individuals in a crowd are less likely to assist in an emergency due to a diffusion of responsibility. However, the narrative of Genovese's death is far more complex than initially reported. Kitty, a bar manager and bookie, was attacked by Winston Moseley near her home. Although some neighbors did call for help, and one, Sophia Farrar, even rushed to her aid, the story was sensationalized by the media. The New York Times, in particular, exaggerated the number of witnesses, leading to widespread misconceptions about the event. Despite the inaccuracies, Genovese's tragic death led to significant societal changes, including the establishment of the 911 emergency call system and deeper exploration into human psychology regarding emergency intervention. This is the true story of Kitty Genovese’s death and the unraveling of the myth surrounding the 38 witnesses.SOURCES…Kaleena Fraga at AllThatsInteresting.com: https://allthatsinteresting.com/kitty-genoveseMusic provided by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

THE TRUE CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: On the night of October 26, 1858, West 30th Street, New York City, was rocked by a violent family tragedy. Elizabeth Carr, a servant for the Gouldy family, ran from their home screaming for help, alerting neighbors and police to a gruesome scene inside. They found the Gouldy family members severely injured from head wounds inflicted by Frank Gouldy, who had succumbed to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Frank Gouldy, the troubled 20-year-old son of wealthy retired lumber merchant Francis Gouldy, had a history of erratic behavior. After being reprimanded by his father for stealing money meant for a business venture, Frank attacked his family with a hatchet. His father, stepmother Jane, and younger brothers Nathaniel and Charlie were all critically injured. Elizabeth Carr and another servant, Joanna Murphy, were also attacked, with Carr bravely fighting off Frank before succumbing to her injuries weeks later. Despite the brutal assault, the Gouldy family, including a pregnant Jane who later gave birth to a healthy baby, survived their injuries. Frank's attack was spurred by longstanding familial tensions and his own troubled disposition, culminating in a night of horror that left a lasting impact on those involved.SOURCES…Robert Wilhelm at MurderByGaslight.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yc67f59rMusic provided by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

IN THIS EPISODE: Is there really such a thing as coincidence? One girl used to think so – but a strange paranormal experience has her now thinking there’s no such thing as happenstance. (More Than a Coincidence) *** Is it possible that the real reason for the USA-Iraq war had nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction, and everything to do with the appropriation of other-worldly alien technology? (Saddam Hussein’s Stargate) *** Weirdo family member Heather Circle brings us a terrifying story that starts, innocently enough, with her child’s missing plastic drinking cup. (A Little Pink Sippy Cup) *** Rebecca Schaeffer was destined to be a star. But before she had the chance to make it in Hollywood, she was murdered by an obsessed fan. (Hollywood’s Sweetheart Killed By a Stalker) *** With the internet’s recent obsession with Black Eyed Kids encounters and “Shadow People” visitations, you might not notice another phenomena that’s quickly becoming part of the paranormal pop-culture consciousness: The Hat Man. Reports of the strange “Hat Man”, a mysterious entity dressed in a long-brimmed hat, continue to pour in from all over the world. Who is the Hat Man? What does he want? Why have so many people around the world been visited by this strange entity? (The Hat Man And Shadow People) *** If you’ve ever seen the film “The Wicker Man”, you are familiar with the ending of the burning giant made of wood and the human sacrifice therein. But is it possible that this terrifying idea was not an invention of novelists and screenwriters – but was a very real practice at one time? Or even today? (The History Behind The Wicker Man) *** The life that serial killer Dennis Rader lived on the outside, hid his dark secret inside, which he was so desperate to reveal that he began dropping breadcrumbs to the media. (The Paper Trail of BTK) *** A graveyard is typically a quiet place, but Graceland Cemetery in Chicago seems to be a bit too quiet – which might have something to do with its resident ghosts. (The Deathly Silence of Graceland Cemetery) *** In 1888, London was terror-struck by the grotesque murders of Jack the Ripper, who was shortly about to claim his next-victim: 47-year-old prostitute Annie Chapman. Her dissection at the hands of the madman was nothing short of gruesome. (The Dissection of Annie Chapman) *** Annie Chapman likely got a good look at her killer. At the time, scientists thought they could user her corpse’s eyeballs to identify the attacker. Is something like that possible? Could the last visual image of someone’s life remain burned into the eye even after death?

IN THIS EPISODE: A creepy true story from Weirdo family member Courtney Rondeau. (It Was The Light That Woke Me) *** The Wendigo. It appears in numerous areas of pop culture, like the TV shows “Supernatural” and “The X Files”, the movie “Ravenous”, and games such as “Dungeons and Dragons”, along with video games like “Final Fantasy” and “Until Dawn”. But the Wendigo isn’t just a creature from someone’s imagination.(Wendigo) *** 
I’lll share a collection of some of the creepiest, most unexplainable nightmare stories, collected from a handful of Reddit users whose friends and family either mostly or completely dismiss as fantasy, and nobody would believe. At times these creepy stories sound too bizarre to be real, but every last person swears it really happened. (Why Won’t Anyone Believe Me?) *** You’ve heard of the gunfight at the O.K Corral – but that was just men vs men. To get really exciting you need true stories of gunfights between men and extraterrestrials! (Alien Gun Fights) *** On Ocracoke Island is a small channel of water known as Teach's Hole, named after Edward Teach and where it is said he met his end – and his ghost still lingers. If Edward Teach doesn’t sound familiar to you, it could be that you know him better as Blackbeard. (Blackbeard’s Ghost) *** First, I’ll share five stories of real-life horrors, reported by men on the battlefield. Not about the horrors of war, but about the supernatural monsters they found within it.

IN THIS EPISODE: “I just wanted to see what it felt like to kill Grandma.” “When I see a pretty girl walking down the street, I think two things. One part wants to be real nice and sweet, and the other part wonders what her head would look like on a stick.” “If I killed them, you know, they couldn’t reject me as a man. It was more or less making a doll out of a human being… and carrying out my fantasies with a doll, a living human doll.” “With a girl, there’s a lot left in the girls body without a head. Of course, the personality is gone.” These are just some of the actual phrases serial killer Edmund Kemper III used to describe his joy in mutilating women.

IN THIS EPISODE: You’ve crawled into bed ready for a good night’s sleep. You begin to nod off, but haven’t completely fallen asleep yet. That’s when you sense something in the room near your bed. Despite your fright, you can’t cry out, run, or scream. The thing then climbs on top of you and suddenly you realize it’s grotesque, but also alluring – female, seductive, and while you can’t move, your body still responds to her intimate advances. You’ve just become the next victim of the succubus.*** The Devil made me do it" is the oldest excuse in the world; and for nearly every crime it is just that, an excuse. But I said “nearly” every crime. Once in a while there are crimes where the perpetrator is the real deal. We’ll look at real crimes committed by real demons.

IN THIS EPISODE: A man calling himself Roland T. Owen checked into room 1046 of the Hotel President in Kansas City, Missouri, on January 2, 1935. In just two days' time, he would be dead. But no one knows who killed him, and it has become one of history’s most popular mysteries – The Mystery of Room 1046. (The Mystery of Room 1046) *** Ghosts are spooky – but zombies are even worse. But what if you came across a ghost zombie? That’s exactly the terror Scandinavian Vikings had to deal with! (Ghost Zombie of the Vikings) *** Can you raise someone in a way to create a phobia within them? Sure, that would be cruel and inhumane to do – but is it possible? That’s what a couple of behaviorists wanted to find out… and so they went about studying on it by experimenting on a tiny child. (The Little Albert Experiment) *** Did a woman accidentally kill her husband because of a Bugs Bunny cartoon… or was it murder? It’s the bizarre case of Linda Duffey Gwozdz.

That’s how a seasoned paranormal investigator described what they heard in an abandoned asylum. (A Ghost Encounter In a Forsaken Asylum) *** We’ll also take a look at a few asylums that are said to be so creepy, so haunted, that you would never want to be locked in there – day or night. (Five Haunted Asylums) *** If you’re a fan of the movie “Ferris Bueler’s Day Off” you might remember the “Sausage King of Chicago” scene. That person was fictional of course, and the title was played for laughs. But have you ever heard of the Sausage Ghost of Chicago?

THE TRUE CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: On the morning of November 23rd, 2014, Andre Pugh returned home from his overnight shift to an unsettling scene. His Atlanta, Georgia, house was eerily quiet, and the usually secured side gate was open. Inside, he found his wife, Tiffany, unresponsive in the guest bedroom. Unable to wake her, he called 911, convinced something terrible had happened. Police arrived to find Andre in a frantic state outside the house. After securing his daughter Jasmine, officers discovered Tiffany and the couple's two-year-old son, AJ, in the guest bedroom. Tiffany had been shot and killed, with AJ heartbreakingly trying to wake her up. As detectives began piecing together the crime, they uncovered disturbing details. The house showed no signs of a burglary, leading them to suspect a targeted attack. Their investigation took a significant turn when they realized that Andre's knowledge of the break-in details didn't add up, raising suspicions about his involvement. Further scrutiny revealed a tumultuous marriage, financial dependency on Tiffany, and a potential motive rooted in Andre's desire to maintain his lifestyle. Ultimately, evidence pointed to Andre and his best friend, Adrian Harley, as conspirators in Tiffany's murder. Both were convicted and sentenced to life without parole, leaving their families and the community shattered and still questioning how it could have happened. SOURCES…Crime Zone: https://youtu.be/BBJsX_L4Pe8?si=0EXYY1sJkCIY0le5Murder Noir music provided by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

IN THIS EPISODE: Accounts of haunted lighthouses have existed for hundreds of years. To many they are considered to be isolated and romantic. Some lighthouses are possibly haunted due to tragedies from shipwrecks or other horrors that have spawned all sorts of lighthouse lore. Some who have spent the night at a haunted lighthouse come away with stories to share such as seeing a former lighthouse keeper, or resident of the keeper's home. Could they still be present in some form after their death? Could keepers possibly remain behind to make sure no further tragedies occur at sea? Perhaps the worst fear of a lighthouse keeper, a ship wrecked upon the rocks, is why some lighthouses continue to be haunted by their former captains. Lights turning on, movement of objects, disembodied voices, and see-through specters are often reported within, or around older lighthouses. Are the ghosts of these souls still on duty? Modern-day tragedies at sea still occur and so do the ghosts that eventually haunt our world. If their walls could talk, lighthouses could share many stories from the past. Unfortunately, these objects don’t have the ability to tell their tales – but the phantoms that haunt them just might.YOUTUBE CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:03:48.724 = The Haunting Hour, “Case of the Lonesome Corpse” (year unknown)00:32:34.446 = Weird Darkness, “Owl’s Head Lighthouse”00:37:09.463 = The Hermit’s Cave, “The Story Without An End’ (year unknown)01:02:16.472 = Weird Darkness, “The Tybee Lighthouse”01:04:37.900 = Mystery House, “Malice in Wonderland” (September 09, 1945)01:30:17.386 = Weird Darkness, “Currituck Beach Light House” and “The Presque Isle Lighthouse”01:36:55.408 = I Love A Mystery, “Eight Kinds of Murder” (June 30, 1941)02:07:23.285 = Weird Darkness, “Seul Choix Point Lighthouse” and “New London Ledge Lighthouse”02:13:00.950 = Incredible But True, “The Man Who Walked Behind” (year unknown)02:17:26.195 = Weird Darkness, “Point Lookout ”/“Heceta Head ”/“Seguin Island ” Lighthouses02:28:56.649 = Inner Sanctum, “Amazing Death of Mrs Putnam” (January 07, 1941)02:55:46.008 = Weird Darkness, “Fairport Harbor” / “White River” / “Big Bay Point Light” / “Plymouth” / “Battery Point” Lighthouses03:07:51.294 = The Key, “Alexis” (year unknown)03:35:23.602 = Weird Darkness, “Saint Augustine” / “Point Sur” / “St. Simon’s Island” Lighthouses03:45:49.739 = Lights Out, “Uninhabited” (December 22, 1937)SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“St. Augustine’s Haunted Lighthouse” by Jessica Ferri: http://bit.ly/2ZF0e6N“The Confederate Dead of Point Lookout Lighthouse” by Adam Karlin: http://bit.ly/2zpkmeb“Haunted Lighthouses” posted at AngelsGhosts.com: http://bit.ly/2ZsBJFD“Scariest Lighthouses Built In The United States” by Chelsey Dagner: http://bit.ly/2LcXc03Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

THE TRUE CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: Red wine, ice cream, and a warm bath are usually ways to unwind after a long day, but in the twisted mind of John George Haigh, they became tools of terror. Born in 1909 in Yorkshire, England, Haigh was raised in a strict, ultra-religious household. His early years were marked by loneliness and nightmares, which foreshadowed his later descent into crime. After a failed marriage and several stints in jail for fraud, Haigh devised a gruesome method to dispose of his victims: sulfuric acid baths. His first known victim was his former employer, William McSwan, whom Haigh murdered and dissolved in acid. He then turned to McSwan's parents, eliminating them in the same manner to gain access to their wealth. Haigh continued his deadly spree, targeting wealthy acquaintances like Dr. Archibald Henderson and his wife, Rose, in 1948. His final victim, Olive Durand-Deacon, a wealthy widow, led to his downfall when detectives linked her disappearance to Haigh. Investigators found incriminating evidence in his workshop, including remains that survived the acid baths. Despite Haigh's claims of insanity driven by recurring nightmares, the court found him guilty on all counts. In August 1949, Haigh, known as the Acid Bath Murderer, was executed, his dark imagination and horrific crimes coming to a fitting end.SOURCES…Steven Casale, The-Line-Up.com: https://the-line-up.com/acid-bath-murderer-john-haighMurder Noir music provided by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

St. Helens, it’s not imaginary at all.

The Bermuda Triangle, also called the Devil's Triangle, is a famous part of the ocean where many ships and planes have mysteriously disappeared. Located between Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the tip of Florida, this area has puzzled people for over 100 years. From the spooky disappearance of the USS Cyclops with 306 crew members in 1918 to the more recent sinking of the SS El Faro in 2015, the Bermuda Triangle becomes more mysterious year after year. Tonight we’ll look at some of the strangest events in the Triangle, like Flight 19, which vanished during a routine training mission; and the Witchcraft, a boat that disappeared just minutes after calling for help. We'll explore different ideas about why these things happen, from natural explanations like methane gas bubbles to wild theories like alien abductions. We’ll look at other locations around the world similar to the Bermuda Triangle that don’t get the same recognition – but are just as mysterious. And while we’re in the water, we’ll touch on a few ocean ghost stories, and reports of sea monsters. So before we get started, if you tend to get sea sick, you might want to grab your Dramamine.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…Bermuda Triangle sources: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/6sw5aj4j, https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3mf3vvw6Vile Vortices source: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8fhp3bOcean Ghost Stories source: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/rmhs277yMonsters Beneath The Waves source: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/596estzu,Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

THE TRUE CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: In the summer of 1974, Provincetown, MA, was shaken by the discovery of a woman's body near one of its famous beaches. Nicknamed "The Lady of the Dunes," her identity remained a mystery for nearly fifty years. Police found her with crushed skull, missing hands, and removed teeth, likely to prevent identification. The case sparked numerous theories, including possible connections to a serial killer or a background role in the movie Jaws. Despite exhaustive efforts and multiple exhumations, no definitive leads emerged for decades. In October 2022, the FBI finally identified the Lady of the Dunes as Ruth Marie Terry through investigative genealogy. A year later, authorities named her husband, Guy Rockwell Muldavin, as her killer. Muldavin, who had a history of violence and was suspected in other deaths, had died in 2002, leaving many questions unanswered. The identification of Terry and the resolution of the case brought some closure to a mystery that had haunted the Cape Cod community for decades.SOURCES…Jim Rowley for Unspeakable Crimes (Ranker): https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/33cjkhscMurder Noir music provided by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

They found ink rings around their eyes from their prankster co-worker coating the eyepiece with black ink. Once they cleaned themselves up and locked that office clown in a giant beaker, they looked through the telescope again and found something even more scary… in space. You might call it the Death Star, but I won’t because I don’t want to be sued by Disney lawyers. Perhaps that’s why scientists named this giant rock Apophis...

IN THIS EPISODE: An elderly Ohio retiree who looks like the famed aviator, Charles Lindbergh, wonders about a great-aunt's allegation that his mother switched her son in 1932 for the kidnapped Lindbergh baby in New Jersey. It's a far-fetched story – but many believe it might be true due to some amazing circumstances. Plus… given Charles Lindbergh's stature as an international hero, investigators in 1932 didn't consider the unthinkable... that Lindbergh may have killed his own son.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Lindbergh Maybe” by Mark Price: https://wapo.st/2ZavF4v“The Murder of Baby Charlie” by JT Townsend: http://bit.ly/2HbaDMWWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

THE TRUE CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: Arthur Upfield is one of Australia's lesser-known writers, but he has a loyal group of readers who love his stories, especially those featuring Detective Napoleon "Bony" Bonaparte. Upfield's books blend Australian culture and landscapes with intriguing mysteries. While working as a boundary rider for the Western Australian government, Upfield maintained the Rabbit-proof fence, a long barrier built to keep rabbits out of farmland. During this time, he struggled to think of a way to make a body disappear without leaving a trace for his new detective novel. His friend George Ritchie suggested burning the body and sifting the ashes to remove any evidence. Months later, three men went missing, and the police discovered that one of them, "Snowy" Rowles, had used Ritchie's method to dispose of the bodies. They found clues in the ashes, like bones and a wedding ring, leading to Rowles' capture. Upfield used this real-life case to write "The Sands of Windee," where his character Bony solves a similar mystery. This book, along with his others, earned Upfield recognition and established him as a significant figure in Australian mystery literature.SOURCES…Kaushik Patowary at AmusingPlanet.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2u6m24y8Murder Noir music provided by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

IN THIS EPISODE: Every culture has certain phrases, repeated like foundational truths. These statements call everyone to a common morality or standard. But what if they’re wrong? For instance, a former generation used to say, “Cleanliness is next to godliness.” Usually, parents say this to get their kids to clean their rooms. And while there’s value to the discipline of keeping things orderly, this statement can’t be found in the Bible. Nowhere in the authoritative written Word of God does it equate cleanliness with being like God. And there are a few other phrases we tend to do this with.

THE TRUE CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: On October 10, 34-year-old Robert Owens was found nearly naked and face down on a lawn in China Grove, North Carolina. He had last been seen by family two days earlier, but his body went unnoticed, even by a groundskeeper who mistook it for a police training dummy. Owens' family is seeking answers about his death, as police do not suspect foul play, despite defensive marks on his arms and missing personal belongings. Owens had a history of drug use, but it's unclear if this played a role. The family is frustrated with the police's handling of the case and is awaiting toxicology results to determine the cause of death, hoping for closure and justice. The case is still open and being investigated.SOURCES…Robert Paul Owens, All That’s Interesting: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/ys6nkucmMurder Noir music provided by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Watch the VIDEO or reac the article: https://weirddarkness.com/no-one-should-steal-a-horse-of-course-mindofmarlar/If American Western films and television are any indication of true history (and I’m sure they are – we all know The Lone Ranger and Maverick were real people), stealing a horse is not only frowned upon – it’s a hanging offense – sometimes without the burdensome nuisance of a judge and jury… or even a trial.  It all depends on who does the catching.Fortunately, most of the world now believes that stealing a man’s pack horse is still a no-no, but it only deserves some time in the stock house. A 19-year-old Polish man might be heading to the clink for anywhere from three months to up to five years because he not only stole a steed, he also tried to hide it in his tiny one-bedroom apartment on the third floor of a multi-family apartment building...

IN THIS EPISODE: People who live and work in remote areas know that sometimes too much quiet can make your mind race. However, some experiences stick with people long after they occur because of the degree of creepiness. On Reddit, plenty of people who live in rural areas or make their livelihood there, share their scary stories for the rest of us to freak out over. We know that often strange people linger around woods, parks, and other desolate areas. And we have all heard plenty of the kind of creepy stories that backpackers experience. However, in this episode, the stories are more than a little unpleasant, because the people who suffered them weren't just out and about anywhere; they were at their homes, or doing their jobs. Imagine living in the woods, and looking up from your bathtub to see a face looking back at you. Or imagine you are working as a forest ranger and come across a thumb nailed to a tree. Tonight I will share some of the terrifying real-life stories, stories that are the stuff of nightmares.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Terrors of People Living In Remote Areas” by Matthew Lavelle: http://bit.ly/2Y5j1r2“Park Ranger Scares” by Rosa Pasquarella: http://bit.ly/2xNbZZ6“Horrifying Backpacker Stories” by Jen Lennon: http://bit.ly/2LXcfNsWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

IN THIS EPISODE: Cemeteries are more than just resting places for the dead; they are steeped in history, emotion, and, some believe, paranormal activity. We’ll explore the eerie tales and scientific theories that make these hallowed grounds a focal point for ghostly encounters. (Unveiling The Secrets of Spirits At Cemeteries) *** Ever driven down a dark, winding country road and felt the hair on the back of your neck stand up? It’s very possible you did if you were traveling down Sleepy Hollow Road. This isn’t the Washington Irving tale of a hamlet in New York State – this is an infamous road in Kentucky with eerie legends of ghostly hearses, time warps, satanic rituals and haunted bridges. (The Sleepy Hollow of Kentucky) *** In the picturesque village of Bennington, Vermont, 18-year-old Paula Jean Welden disappeared on a chilly December afternoon in 1946.

To this day, Paula's fate remains unknown. (Vanished: The Unsolved Disappearance of Paula Jean Welden”) *** In 1968, Spain experienced an unprecedented wave of UFO and humanoid sightings that left many mystified, terrified… and mesmerized.

(1968: The Year Of High Strangeness) *** Despite humanity's efforts to control nature, sometimes the natural world pushes back in unexpected and chaotic ways. From a pigeon poop-induced blackout in Japan to a squirrel terrorizing a Welsh town, animals can disrupt our lives… and sometimes in humorous ways. (Man Vs Nature – When Animals Wreak Havoc) *** On a stormy night in April 1893, two condemned prisoners at Sing Sing Prison blinded a guard with pepper spray, and executed a daring escape down the Hudson River that left authorities baffled and the public enthralled.

He never returned home. (Murder Noir: The Case of the Vanishing Trick-or-Treater) *** Did pterosaurs, the ancient flying reptiles, truly vanish millions of years ago, or do they still soar through our skies?

THE TRUE CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: The case of Carolyn Warmus reads like a plot torn from a Hollywood thriller. In the late 1980s, the 25-year-old insurance heiress and elementary school teacher began an affair with her older, married coworker, Paul Solomon. Solomon promised to leave his wife, Betty Jeanne, but Warmus grew impatient. On January 15, 1989, Betty Jeanne was found shot dead in her home, and suspicion quickly fell on Warmus. The media likened the case to the 1987 film "Fatal Attraction," adding to the frenzy surrounding the investigation. Warmus was indicted and tried for the murder, but conflicting stories and a lack of physical evidence led to a mistrial. In a second trial, a bloody glove presented as new evidence sealed her fate, resulting in a conviction and a 25-year-to-life sentence. Warmus, maintaining her innocence, was released on parole in 2019 and continues to fight to clear her name, seeking DNA testing on key pieces of evidence.SOURCES…Matt Crabtree, AllThatsInteresting.com: https://allthatsinteresting.com/carolyn-warmusMurder Noir music provided by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

How would they do it? First I have to say that if they truly are really smart aliens, they would probably want nothing to do with us; we’ve not really been model representatives of the human race lately – much less Earthlings in-general.Then again, maybe that’s what makes us attractive to them; they see us for the idiots we are…

THE TRUE STORY THIS EPISODE IS BASED ON: In 1954, 11-year-old Jeanette Earnest was abducted by her uncle, 48-year-old Thurman Priest, in Fort Worth, Texas. Jeanette's mother Nadine had previously noticed Priest's inappropriate obsession with Jeanette and tried to keep him away from her daughter. After the abduction, Priest took Jeanette to motels in Texas, Kansas and Missouri. Evidence suggests he sexually assaulted her during this time. Jeanette tried to escape at one point but Priest caught her and forced her back into the car. Priest eventually shot and killed Jeanette, leaving her body in a wooded area off a highway in Missouri. He was arrested after calling his wife from a motel. Priest claimed he and Jeanette were in love, but more likely she rejected his sexual advances, leading him to kill her in anger. In 1955, Priest was convicted of the murder and sentenced to life in prison. He died of a heart attack in prison in 1960.SOURCES…Robert A.

THE TRUE CASE THIS EPISODE IS BASED ON: While the story you hear has the detective saying he found out what happened, it’s left unsaid as to what it truly is… because in reality, this case is still unsolved. On Halloween night 1981, 11-year-old Karl Heikell went out for a walk in his hometown of Calumet, Michigan and never returned home. Despite searches, no trace of Karl was found and there were various unconfirmed sightings of him around town in the following weeks. 11 months later in October 1982, a hunter found torn clothing and skeletal remains in a wooded area near an old mine. The remains were identified as Karl based on the clothing. 40 years later, a local librarian named Dillon Geshel became interested in the cold case and has been compiling information to try to uncover what happened to Karl that Halloween night. Police looked into a couple persons of interest at the time, including a friend of Karl's who died by suicide not long after Karl went missing, but no strong evidence pointed to their involvement. Karl's family is still hoping for answers after all these years to finally get some closure, especially for Karl's elderly mother. A detective newly assigned to the case says he has collected some new leads and believes the case is no longer cold. SOURCES…“Murder Noir: The Case of the Vanishing Trick-or-Treater” source: NBC News, https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/mrjhvwfnMurder Noir music provided by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

No, it’s not a fantasy novel character; she’s a real person with a love life that’s out of this world—literally.  Amethyst, a spiritual guidance counselor from the UK, made headlines when she shared her heart-tugging (and eyebrow-raising) romance with a ghost.

Apparently noisemakers, sparklers, and fireworks just aren’t intense enough for some people. Either that, or someone has completely misinterpreted the phrase “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve”.

IN THIS EPISODE: We’ll explore chilling stories of haunted orphanages, where the echoes of heartbroken and lonely children linger long after the buildings have been abandoned. (Haunted Orphanage Stories) *** “If only these walls could talk,” we’ve heard people say. But what if the walls could talk? In the world of paranormal investigations, the “Stone Tape Theory” is gaining recognition – or at least raising eyebrows and intrigue. Could the walls of your home have recorded your horrific death – and then replay that scene as a haunting? (The Stone Tape Theory) *** One thing is for sure in this life – and that is, your life will eventually cease. How you go out could make or break your legacy. Freak accidents are something you’d probably want to avoid, but they happen – and I have a few examples to share. (Weird Deaths) *** In the misty expanse of Bodmin Moor, a tragic tale of love, jealousy, and murder unfolded in 1844. When Charlotte Dymond's lifeless body was found, all eyes turned to her lover, Matthew Weeks, whose subsequent execution left many questioning his guilt. (The Tragic Tale of Charlotte Dymond) *** The Urantia Book – a fascinating and controversial text that blends science, religion, and philosophy into a cosmic narrative of divine beings and celestial order. But no one knows who wrote it. (The Urantia Book Of Cosmic Thought) *** I’m trying something new by telling a true story of old murder in an old detective style… I call it “Murder Noir” and tonight’s case will be the death of Jeanette Earnest in Fort Worth in 1954. (Murder Noir, Jeanette Earnest) *** On Monday 17th October 1814, a terrible disaster claimed the lives of at least 8 people. A bizarre industrial accident resulted in the release of a tsunami onto the streets of London… comprised entirely of beer.

(Spending The Night With Lizzie Borden) *** Many years before Adolph Hitler and Germany’s Nazis created Auschwitz, there was another concentration camp that experienced deaths in tens of thousands. But this encampment of turpitude wasn’t located in Germany – or anywhere near Europe. It was located in the land of the free… the home of the brave. The USA. (The Devil’s Punchbowl) *** Several people have returned from their near-death experiences reporting they were briefly in the fiery pits of hell. Is there any truth to their claims? (They Escaped Hell’s Clutches) *** Have you ever seen what appears to be a shadow person or dark figure (stationary or moving) with your own eyes, close up or far away, ​maybe even in your peripheral vision or dream state?

Watch the VIDEO or read the article: https://weirddarkness.com/frank-hayes-sweet-kiss/It’s a story that could easily have found itself written into a television sitcom – had television existed at the time. But it would be equally appropriate for a story in a horror comic… yet those had not yet come into existence either.At New York’s Belmont Park on June 4th, 1923, Frank Hayes secured his place in history as the only jockey to have ever won an official horse race posthumously. For those who graduated from public high school, posthumously means he did so while being dead. Apparently Hayes suffered a fatal heart attack during the race, but he stayed on top of the horse right through to the finish… of the race, that is.  And, well… through to his own finish too...

HOUR ONE: More than a hundred years ago, reports described it as “the most weird and gruesome apartment in the world.” Why display an entire room full of grotesque items and open it to the public? (New York Charnel House) *** Kell’s Irish Pub in Seattle has a creepy vibe to it, even if the displays and decorations inside aren’t meant to be. Perhaps that’s because the building started its life as a massive mortuary.

It’s the creepy case of Theo Durrant – better known in San Francisco as the Demon of the Belfry. (Demon of the Belfry) *** In 1989 a man anonymously claimed he had worked at Area 51 where alien technology was being reverse-engineered for the Pentagon. It sounded like the crazed thoughts of a madman at the time. But now, thirty years later, it does not seem so absurd. (Bob Lazar, The Pentagon, And UFOs) *** One of our Weirdo family members tells the true story of a young child told not to be sad when her grandfather passes away… before anyone knew he had died. (The Old Woman In The Basement) *** Some very strange things have been taking place in Sedona Arizona – including ghosts, UFOs, and even people supposedly seeing living dinosaurs.

IN THIS EPISODE: In the book of Acts Paul speaks to the early church—and to us—about cults. Cults will not only come, they are already here – and have been all along in some way, shape, or form. They existed then, they exit now, they will exist in the future until the Lord does away with evil once and for all… but that’s a topic for another day. The really dangerous part about cults is how attractive they can be to even the most intelligent among us, even those of us who profess Christ as our savior can be lured in if we’re not careful. Cults, in all of their forms, draw us away from the truth. So it’s important to recognize one when you see it.Hear previous messages and find our social media at https://WeirdDarkness.com/Church!

This is a special episode with a story that we’ll be using soon in my other podcast, “Auditory Anthology” which comes out with new episodes every week (https://www.auditoryanthology.com). My partner at “Auditory Anthology”, Keith Conrad, curates stories from old sci-fi magazines, journals, books, and radio shows, and I voice the scripts. As much as I love old time radio, being able to tell these classic sci-fi stories from the 50s is a real treat for me. This story is one I actually heard many years ago on Old Time Radio, and the first time I heard it I absolutely fell in love with the story. So when I saw that Keith had sent me this one to narrate, I was beyond excited. The story is entitled “Prime Difference”, written by Alan Nourse. It was first published in Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine in June 1957. It’s dated of course, assuming android technology would be available in the late 1960s. Well it wasn’t – and it still isn’t just yet. But listen to this story and you tell me if you don’t think it’s prophetic, even if they did guess wrong on the year!SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…Auditory Anthology podcast: https://www.auditoryanthology.com“Prime Difference” is a work of fiction, written by Alan Nourse – originally published in Galaxy Science Fiction in June 1957: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/51321/51321-h/51321-h.htmWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.

I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak!” Haunting stories of fate, dramas of crime, deception, and manipulation building to a sudden and shocking denouement...and, through it all, the sardonic, mocking laughter of — The Whistler!One of radio’s most memorable thriller anthologies, The Whistler was a west-coast favorite for over a decade but, despite two attempts to go nationwide, never was able to achieve the same success as a coast to coast feature. But for listeners across the western states served by the Signal Oil Company, the program’s eerie theme music opened a weekly window into the very darkest corners of the human soul. It was so popular, in fact, that Columbia Pictures produced eight second-feature films based on the concept, all but one of which starred Richard Dix.The Whistler himself was an omniscient narrator -- the voice of Fate itself, one might suggest, or perhaps of conscience. And his stories revolved around ordinary people, pushed by the pressures of daily life into taking drastic actions. Or perhaps a sudden circumstance, an unexpected twist of life’s path, suddenly placed these protagonists on a road leading inexorably to their own destruction. Greed, lust, and perfidy of every kind figure in the plots -- and when Fate inevitably catches up with these unfortunate, driven souls, The Whistler is always ready, at the very end, to see that the knife is properly twisted.Produced by George W. Allen, with hauntingly evocative musical scores by Wilbur Hatch, The Whistler was a prime outlet for the cream of Hollywood’s top radio performers - actors such as Wally Maher, Cathy and Elliott Lewis, Gerald Mohr, Lurene Tuttle, and Betty Lou Gerson, who emphasized skill over star power - as well as announcer Bill Forman in the title role, with Marvin Miller voicing the commercials.YOUTUBE CHAPTERS GUIDE...00:00:00.000 = Introduction00:01:54.231 = Two Year Plan (November 25, 1946)00:32:57.784 = Next Year Is Mine (December 23, 1946)01:03:11.928 = Murder On Rourke Island (December 30, 1946)01:33:17.532 = Dear Roger (January 06, 1947)02:03:49.286 = The Choice (January 13, 1947)02:33:57.650 = Eight To Twelve (February 24, 1947)03:04:34.682 = The Blue Legend (March 03, 1947)03:34:43.029 = The Sheriff’s Assistant (April 07, 1947)04:05:52.705 = Maid of Honor (April 14, 1947)04:36:21.437 = Windfall (May 05, 1947)SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.comWeird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks.= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ="I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46Find out how to escape eternal darkness at https://weirddarkness.com/eternaldarknessWeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" The opening lines of the "Detective Story" program captivated listeners and are instantly recognizable even today. Originally the narrator of the series of macabre tales, the eerie voice known as The Shadow became so popular to listeners that "Detective Story" was soon renamed "The Shadow," and the narrator became the star of the old-time mystery radio series, which ran until 1954. A figure never seen, only heard, the Shadow was an invincible crime fighter. He possessed many gifts which enabled him to overcome any enemy. Besides his tremendous strength, he could defy gravity, speak any language, unravel any code, and become invisible with his famous ability to "cloud men's minds." Along with his team of operatives, the Shadow battled adversaries with chilling names like The Black Master, Kings of Crime, The Five Chameleons, and, of course, The Red Menace. The Shadow's exploits were also avidly followed by readers in The Shadow magazine, which began in 1931 following the huge success of the old-time mystery radio program. The magazine was published by Street & Smith, who had also sponsored the old-time mystery radio program. Over the course of 18 years, Street & Smith published 325 issues of The Shadow, each one containing a novel about the sinister crime fighter. These stories were written by Maxwell Grant, a fictional name created by the publishing company. Although several different people wrote under the pseudonym, Walter B. Gibson wrote most of the stories, 282 in all. Most of the novels published have been reprinted in paperback and The Shadow adventures remain popular today, with Shadow comic books, magazines, toys, games, cds and cassettes of old-time radio shows, and books bringing top dollar among collectors the world over.YOUTUBE CHAPTERS GUIDE...00:00:00.000 = Introduction00:01:54.735 = The Wig Makers of Doom Street (November 28, 1948)00:32:02.306 = Death And The Crown Odalph (January 02, 1949)00:59:51.393 = Trail of the Knifer (February 20, 1949)01:29:55.434 = Collectors of Death (February 27, 1949)01:59:37.365 = Unto Death Do Us Part (March 06, 1949)02:29:56.952 = The Ring of Mahlalaylee (March 13, 1949)02:55:44.114 = Monkey Woman (May 29, 1949)03:21:46.493 = The Bridge of Tragedy – Australian Episode (March 22, 1951)03:49:37.714 = Return To Life – Australian Episode (September 23, 1951)04:16:14.876 = The Vengeance of Angela Nolan (June 27, 1954)04:42:52.794 = Death House Rescue (September 26, 1937)SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.comWeird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks.= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ="I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46Find out how to escape eternal darkness at https://weirddarkness.com/eternaldarknessWeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

IN THIS EPISODE: Superman died at 1:59 am on June 16, 1959. Not the comic book character, of course, but the man who personified the “real” Superman for an entire generation of television fans. George Reeves, it was discovered, was not faster than a speeding bullet after all. Even though the initial coroner’s report listed Reeves’ death as an “indicated suicide,” after nearly five decades there are many who do not believe that he killed himself. The death of George Reeves remains one of Hollywood’s most compelling unsolved mysteries, combining rumors of murder, conspiracy, cover-ups – and a lingering ghost. (Not Faster Than a Speeding Bullet) *** Few things are more unsettling than an unsolved missing persons case. What happened to Virginia Carpenter? She’s been missing for 69 years and investigators are still as stumped as they were in 1948.  (The Virginia Carpenter Disappearance) *** An elderly woman, an old man, and a young ten-year-old girl reside in the same house. I say reside – because they were not alive. (The House With The Purple Porch) *** Did a man really see an army of dead Medieval soldiers – or was he witnessing something from a parallel world?

Get the commercial-free version by joining the Darkness Syndicate at https://weirddarkness.com/syndicate!After September 30, 1962, commercial radio drama was as dead as the doornail described in the opening pages of Dickens' A Christmas Carol (1843), and everyone understood that television killed it. People who worked in both mediums realized that working in radio was a much better overall experience than television could ever be. Sure, TV had pictures to go along with the stories, but putting those pictures on the air involved a highly technical and expensive technology, and by the time those images reached the audience they were grainy, blurry, and sometimes nearly impossible to see. One actor could play different parts on several different radio programs, even in a single episode, but once they were seen in a TV show their face was recognizable enough that they had a hard time working on another show, and even a twenty-second appearance meant hours in makeup and wardrobe. Appearing in a radio drama required just a couple rehearsals and then remaining as quiet as possible in the studio, following along in the script until time to perform your lines, which you also read from the script. There was one important thing that television could offer over radio work; money. The accounting in TV and radio was fundamentally different. A radio program was usually paid for by a single sponsor while commercial time on TV shows was sold piecemeal, but there was still a phenomenal amount of money involved in TV production and the networks and sponsors were happy to pay it. Unable to compete with the huge amount of money being spread around by TV, after the final broadcasts of Suspense and Yours Truly Johnny Dollar on September 30, 1960, the Golden Age of Radio came to an end. Or did it? In the decade after the end of the Golden Age of Radio, TV matured artistically and technically. There had been a rejection by the networks of "rural" programming which helped launch a nostalgia craze. This craze began with the release of George Lucas's American Graffiti (1973), and suddenly everything old seemed new again. One of the genres which were best suited to radio was the horror shows which made listeners sit up in bed and pull the sheets over their heads. This sort of program had been pioneered Wyliss Cooper and Arch Oboler on Lights Out as well as The Whistler, Suspense, and Inner Sanctum Mysteries. This was the type of show creators decided upon for his radio nostalgia project, which became The CBS Radio Mystery Theater. They were convinced that there was enough interest from those who had heard similar shows growing up during the Golden Age, but the show built a following of younger fans for whom radio drama was a new and exciting experience. In many ways, CBSRMT was more like a TV program on the radio than a typical Old Time Radio show. The shows were taped rather than broadcast live, which allowed for greater post-production editing and creative control. The scripts generally ran 45 minutes, and the action was broken at points to allow for separately produced commercials and news bulletins to be inserted. The opening featured the "creaking door" effect which had been part of The Inner Sanctum. Host E.G. Marshall was never as campily creepy earlier horror hosts, but his closing, "Until next time, pleasant… dreams?" was sure to inspire nightmares. Production of CBSRMT was efficient almost to the point of cheapness. Creators drew upon radio row veterans working in New York as well as up-and-coming television personalities. The show used original stories from a wide variety of genres as well as literary classics. Writers were paid a flat $350 for each recorded script, and actors received union scale rates of $73.92 per episode. The actors would come into the studio for an initial script reading at 9:00 am, and the episode was generally completed by noon. Paychecks were handed out and the tape would be edited in the afternoon.00:00:00.000 = INTRODUCTION00:01:54.482 = The Deadly Blind Man’s Bluff (September 25, 1974)00:47:32.000 = The Spectral Bride (September 26, 1974)01:33:04.000 = Murder To Perfection (September 30, 1974)02:18:37.287 = The Bride That Wasn’t (October 01, 1974)03:04:34.000 = The Golden Blood of the Sun (October 03, 1974)03:50:24.000 = Sister of Death (October 07, 1974)04:36:05.000 = Trapped (October 09, 1974)SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.comWeird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks.= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ="I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46Find out how to escape eternal darkness at https://weirddarkness.com/eternaldarknessWeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

Get the commercial-free version by joining the Darkness Syndicate at https://weirddarkness.com/syndicate!When the dramatic anthology series "Suspense" premiered over CBS Radio on June 17, 1942, it did so as both a summer series and as a sustaining program. The network had no idea how well the series would perform - its only previous showcase was as an hour-long audition on the 1940 series "Forecast" - so running out and getting a sponsor didn’t seem to be important at that particular stage. Besides, in the show’s salad days, the guest stars that did appear were of considerably low wattage. But as "Suspense" grew in popularity and began to attract a more upscale acting clientele anxious to participate in “radio’s outstanding theater of thrills,” finding someone to pick up the weekly tab became a top priority for CBS. Luckily, in December 2, 1943, the series found its 'angel' in the sponsorship of Roma Wines. "Suspense’s" long association with Roma (and co-branded Cresta Blanca) was good for both the series and the company; a bigger budget attracted bigger guest stars and, as the program began to climb in the ratings, the company began to enjoy substantial profits. This fruitful arrangement came to an end on November 20, 1947. Roma had been admittedly seeing other programs behind "Suspense’s" back and the bright array of top Hollywood talent began to dim a bit as many of the stars began to tire of the program. CBS rolled the dice and took one heck of a chance in keeping "Suspense" on the air; the network still felt that the series was popular with audiences and they agreed to sustain the program until another sponsor could be found. How serious was CBS about keeping its prestige show? Beginning January 3, 1948, "Suspense" was moved to Saturday nights and was broadcast from 8:00 to 9:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. That’s right: a full hour of “Suspense.” Hour-long dramatic shows were a gamble at best; many stars tended to shun these programs - a half-hour show was grueling enough to get through - and only a few, "The Lux Radio Theater" being the best example, managed to continue on the air for very long. But Lux had a sponsor all too willing to write checks on a weekly basis...while CBS, without a sponsor to back them up, was still the sole support of "Suspense." What's more, the network learned soon enough that by doubling the show from half-hour to hour-long status, they had to double the pay of the individuals working on the show as well. (Networks, as a rule, cringe at the thought of giving money away.) To jazz up "Suspense," CBS hired actor Robert Montgomery to be the host and occasional performer, figuring that on the weeks when they had to resort to a less-than "A" list of guest stars, at least Montgomery would be around to provide a certain degree of glitter. Montgomery, at it turned out, made appearances in quite a few of the hour-long shows, including both the premiere, “The Black Curtain”, and most notably in “Night Must Fall”, which allowed him to reprise the role he had created in the 1937 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture of the same name. "Suspense’s" hour-long experiment closed up shop on May 15, 1948 and the show moved back to Thursday night in its familiar half-hour form through September 1962.00:00:00.000 = INTRODUCTION00:01:54.350 = The Lucky Lady (February 14, 1946)00:32:10.863 = Consequences (February 21, 1946)01:02:27.676 = Black Path of Fear (March 07, 1946)01:28:53.720 = No More Alice (March 14, 1946)01:59:25.121 = The Lonely Road (March 21, 1946)02:30:10.968 = Out Of Control (March 28, 1946)03:00:17.665 = Post Mortem (April 04, 1946)03:30:40.306 = The Name of the Beast (April 11, 1946)04:01:08.422 = The Night Reveals (April 18, 1946)04:31:23.782 = Dark Journey (April 25, 1946)SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.comWeird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks.= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ="I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46WeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

IN THIS EPISODE: Victorian-era ghosts… they seem to haunt not only our imaginations, but also our Halloween wardrobes. Why were people in the mid-to-late 1800s so obsessed with the supernatural? And why are we so fascinated by Victorian ghost stories still today? (What’s The Deal With Victorian Ghosts?) *** The story of Queen Esther is chilling – full of an Iroquois warrior woman’s quest for vengeance, brutal warfare, haunting legends, ghostly wails, and a curse that many believe still has power even today. (The Curse of Queen Esther) *** No one can remember exactly when the ghost story began, but records show it dates back to at least 1926. The tale centers around the Administration Offices of Rockford School District 205 on South Madison Street, formerly Rockford High School. Built in 1885, the school gained a spooky reputation due to eerie events reported in its underground tunnels. After a tragic accident in the school’s swimming pool claimed the life of a student named Gosta Anderson, strange sightings and sounds fueled the legend of his restless spirit, haunting the very site where he died. (Gosta’s Ghost) *** Plumas County, California, holds a chilling mystery that dates back to 1978. On a winter night with a half-moon, five friends left a basketball game at California State University, Chico, and drove away, never to be seen again. Their car was found abandoned on a remote mountain road, leading to a series of eerie discoveries, unanswered questions, and clues that still baffle investigators today.

When fans tuned into the radio or caught the latest science fiction movie, they either encountered space opera adventures or fare aimed largely at a juvenile audience. Only in magazines such as Astounding Science Fiction and Galaxy were stories grounded firmly in science fiction being told with mature themes aimed at character development, true literature taking off to the stars. The debut of X Minus One in April 1955 changed that on radio, making this program not only the best of its type, but in many ways one of the only shows from Radio’s Golden Age to present science fiction for a well-rounded adult audience. It is an often debated point among experts and fans as to whether or not X Minus One was simply a new season of Dimension X, a program that ran on NBC in 1950-51, or a revival of sorts of this previous show. The latter is probably more accurate since the first 15 episodes of X Minus One were new productions of Dimension X episodes. What makes X Minus One stand out, however, is the fact that the remaining programs were actually adaptations of works from two of the best science fiction magazines of the period. NBC staff writers, primarily Ernest Kinoy and George Lefferts, scoured the pages of Astounding Science Fiction and then later Galaxy Magazine for tales that would thrill and chill their listeners, aiming most assuredly at the more sophisticated science fiction fans. Stories penned by noted science fiction and genre authors such as Philip K. Dick, Robert Heinlein, Frederik Pohl, and Isaac Asimov, and many others found themselves expertly adapted for radio over the program’s nearly three-year run.

No radio show opening is more memorable for many fans than the one heard on Inner Sanctum Mysteries. This disturbing simple salvo led people into thirty minutes of suspense and horror sprinkled with puns from a creepy host, all of which can now be heard again in sparkling audio quality from Radio Archives. Inner Sanctum Mysteries was the brainchild of producer Himan Brown, inspired by the unsettling creaking door in the basement of a studio where he once worked. Brown took that inspiration and built around it a formula that lived on beyond the show itself. Listeners tuned in every week to hear that door open and be welcomed by the sinister, yet often humorous host to join him in a chair near the fire inside the Inner Sanctum for a story sure to chill them to the bone. Stories on Inner Sanctum Mysteries originally included both classic and original tales, the new stories taking center stage as the show continued. With writers like pulp scribes Emile Tepperman and Robert Newman, as well as Robert Sloan, Milton Lewis, and others, it is little surprise that Inner Sanctum is still beloved by fans today. Utilizing numerous clichés and literary devices, Inner Sanctum Mysteries carried listeners into the heart of horror, a liberal dose of camp often thrown in. Using voices ranging from star Boris Karloff to a veteran crew of New York radio actors, Inner Sanctum set the standard for horror programs both on radio and even inspired decades of horror hosts on television. Inner Sanctum Mysteries features some of the best of fright, terror, and fantastic storytelling old time radio has to offer!SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.comWeird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks.= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ="I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46Find out how to escape eternal darkness at https://weirddarkness.com/eternaldarknessWeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

IN THIS EPISODE: From serial killers to seemingly ordinary individuals, a chilling phenomenon emerges as criminals claim demonic possession drove them to commit unspeakable acts. These disturbing cases, spanning decades and continents, blur the lines between evil and the supernatural, leaving us questioning the true nature of their heinous crimes. From the infamous Son of Sam to a father who claimed demonic voices compelled him to murder his own child, we’ll explore some of these cases and let you decide if the devil made them do it. (Demonic Crimes) *** The Rose family lived comfortably in the picturesque Pleasant Valley in the late 1800s. However, oldest daughter Ceely's unrequited love for a neighbor boy led to a series of chilling events. Her obsession turned deadly, leading not only to death, but to a ghostly presence as well. (Love, Poison, and Ghosts – The Case of Ceely Rose) *** In the wild era of the 1920s and 1930s, organized crime flourished in the United States, with hitmen like the mysterious "Buster from Chicago" making a name for themselves. Known for his ruthless efficiency and chilling calm, Buster was responsible for many high-profile mob hits during the violent Castellammarese War. But who was Buster? (The Enigmatic Hitman, Buster From Chicago) *** In July 1993, 26-year-old Kristin Ann set out for her morning jog, but her run ended in a horrifying, fatal attack. The shocking crime has left her grieving family and community outraged and seeking justice. (The Murder of Kristin Ann) *** Imagine falling asleep on your usual train ride home, only to wake up at a mysterious, strikingly-white colored station with no way to leave. You encounter a strange child-like figure who warns you that this place is "one step before death." This is the eerie reality of Hitsuka Station, a ghostly train stop in Japan that traps unsuspecting passengers.

IN THIS EPISODE: The Alaskan Triangle is already known for strange and bizarre activity – so it should be no surprise that a hotel located in the triangle might experience a few bumps in the night. (The Demonic Haunting of the Alaskan Hotel) *** After picking up a sex worker to assault and murder, a serial killer made the mistake of underestimating the determination of his victim to stay alive… and lost his own life in the process. (The Hooker Who Stopped a Serial Killer) *** Chucky the doll isn’t real. Neither were any of the dolls that came to life on shows like “The Twilight Zone” and “Outer Limits” – but that doesn’t mean real haunted dolls don’t exist, and it’s not just “Annabelle” and “Robert” on the list. (When Haunted Dolls Attack) *** Ilse Koch was a female concentration camp guard and she was so ruthless and evil even the Na*is had her arrested. (Ilse Koch: The Witch of Buchenwald) *** They reside atop dizzying heights and are often unnoticed by human eyes but ever watchful of our movements. They have 'observed' us for centuries. We’ll look at the history and purpose of gargoyles and grotesques. (In The Protection of Gargoyles) *** Outside of Washington, D.C. lies an abandoned institution with a thoroughly disturbing past. We’ll look at the history and horrors of Forest Haven Mental Asylum.

I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak!” Haunting stories of fate, dramas of crime, deception, and manipulation building to a sudden and shocking denouement...and, through it all, the sardonic, mocking laughter of — The Whistler!One of radio’s most memorable thriller anthologies, The Whistler was a west-coast favorite for over a decade but, despite two attempts to go nationwide, never was able to achieve the same success as a coast to coast feature. But for listeners across the western states served by the Signal Oil Company, the program’s eerie theme music opened a weekly window into the very darkest corners of the human soul. It was so popular, in fact, that Columbia Pictures produced eight second-feature films based on the concept, all but one of which starred Richard Dix.The Whistler himself was an omniscient narrator -- the voice of Fate itself, one might suggest, or perhaps of conscience. And his stories revolved around ordinary people, pushed by the pressures of daily life into taking drastic actions. Or perhaps a sudden circumstance, an unexpected twist of life’s path, suddenly placed these protagonists on a road leading inexorably to their own destruction. Greed, lust, and perfidy of every kind figure in the plots -- and when Fate inevitably catches up with these unfortunate, driven souls, The Whistler is always ready, at the very end, to see that the knife is properly twisted.Produced by George W. Allen, with hauntingly evocative musical scores by Wilbur Hatch, The Whistler was a prime outlet for the cream of Hollywood’s top radio performers - actors such as Wally Maher, Cathy and Elliott Lewis, Gerald Mohr, Lurene Tuttle, and Betty Lou Gerson, who emphasized skill over star power - as well as announcer Bill Forman in the title role, with Marvin Miller voicing the commercials.YOUTUBE CHAPTERS GUIDE...00:00:00.000 = Introduction00:01:54.231 = Two Year Plan (November 25, 1946)00:32:57.784 = Next Year Is Mine (December 23, 1946)01:03:11.928 = Murder On Rourke Island (December 30, 1946)01:33:17.532 = Dear Roger (January 06, 1947)02:03:49.286 = The Choice (January 13, 1947)02:33:57.650 = Eight To Twelve (February 24, 1947)03:04:34.682 = The Blue Legend (March 03, 1947)03:34:43.029 = The Sheriff’s Assistant (April 07, 1947)04:05:52.705 = Maid of Honor (April 14, 1947)04:36:21.437 = Windfall (May 05, 1947)SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.comWeird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks.= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ="I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46Find out how to escape eternal darkness at https://weirddarkness.com/eternaldarknessWeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

(Bigfoot Killed My Fishing Buddy) *** As you know, I’m not just a podcaster but also a professional voice artist. One of the many things I do is narrating audio books. But up until recently I had no idea who some of my competition was for narrations. It turns out the voice behind many best-selling audiobooks is actually a serial killer. (Murderous Narration) *** Reports of werewolves are worldwide throughout history – from the English moors to the western United States you can find sightings of dogmen, werewolves, and the like. But Louisiana has one of the most interesting entries into Lycanthropy – at least it has an interesting name and history. It’s called the Rougarou. (Rougarou) *** X-ray photos are fascinating, but they are only for the eyes – not the ears, right? Well don’t be too sure about that. People in the Soviet Union found a very unique way to use X-rays in order to smuggle in their favorite tunes from West! (Bone Music) *** He roams the earth, and has done so for the past 2,000 years.. doomed never to die until the end of the world. His crime? Taunting Jesus at the Crucifixion. Is this simply an urban legend, or could there be some truth behind what has come to be known as “The Curse of the Wandering Jew?” (The Curse of the Wandering Jew) *** In 1922, Charles Osbourne was in an accident involving a hog… but that’s not the strange part. It’s the after-effects of that accident which caused him to continue to hiccup non-stop for almost seven decades! (My Hog Gave Me The Hiccups For 68 Years) *** In the 1980s workers in an English peat bog unearthed a body. And then another… and then yet another, and another… all apparent victims of violence.

But what exactly happens when the Catholic Church starts investigating the paranormal?

And while the words “most haunted” are somewhat subjective, it’s hard not to see why people outside of Chicago consider Archer Avenue not only the top spooky street in America, but the most haunted on the planet. (The Anguish Of Archer Avenue) *** After allegedly murdering her husband in 1960, Sharon Kinne shot her lover’s pregnant wife. Then, she evaded justice and escaped to Mexico only to kill again — before vanishing without a trace. (The American Murderess Who Disappeared in 1969) *** Modern courtrooms aren’t equipped or knowledgable enough to determine whether or not ghosts are real, but that hasn’t stopped ghosts from appearing in several court cases! (Court Cases Involving Ghosts) *** When you hear of a two-headed creature you typically think of two heads side-by-side growing from the neck and shoulders area. But have you ever heard of a creature growing another head on the very top of it’s other head? It happened… and not to just any creature. It was a human boy who lived much longer than anyone expected.

Get the commercial-free version by joining the Darkness Syndicate at https://weirddarkness.com/syndicate!One of the most popular radio shows in history, “The Shadow” went on the air in August of 1930. "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" The opening lines of the "Detective Story" program captivated listeners and are instantly recognizable even today. Originally the narrator of the series of macabre tales, the eerie voice known as The Shadow became so popular to listeners that "Detective Story" was soon renamed "The Shadow," and the narrator became the star of the old-time mystery radio series, which ran until 1954. A figure never seen, only heard, the Shadow was an invincible crime fighter. He possessed many gifts which enabled him to overcome any enemy. Besides his tremendous strength, he could defy gravity, speak any language, unravel any code, and become invisible with his famous ability to "cloud men's minds." Along with his team of operatives, the Shadow battled adversaries with chilling names like The Black Master, Kings of Crime, The Five Chameleons, and, of course, The Red Menace. The Shadow's exploits were also avidly followed by readers in The Shadow magazine, which began in 1931 following the huge success of the old-time mystery radio program. The magazine was published by Street & Smith, who had also sponsored the old-time mystery radio program. Over the course of 18 years, Street & Smith published 325 issues of The Shadow, each one containing a novel about the sinister crime fighter. These stories were written by Maxwell Grant, a fictional name created by the publishing company. Although several different people wrote under the pseudonym, Walter B. Gibson wrote most of the stories, 282 in all. Most of the novels published have been reprinted in paperback and The Shadow adventures remain popular today, with Shadow comic books, magazines, toys, games, cds and cassettes of old-time radio shows, and books bringing top dollar among collectors the world over.00:00:00.000 = INTRODUCTION00:01:54.735 = The Giant of Madras (May 16, 1948)00:27:03.054 = The Ruby of Karavahl (May 30, 1948)00:57:26.772 = Revenge Is Murder (September 19, 1948)01:27:54.467 = Death Is A Colored Dream (September 26, 1948)01:58:59.079 = Phantom Racketeer (October 03, 1948)02:27:47.080 = A Mask For Murder (October 10, 1948)02:55:44.830 = Dead Man’s Ride (October 17, 1948)03:26:14.433 = The Drum of Obi (October 24, 1948)03:56:23.501 = Murder By A Corpse (October 31, 1948)04:26:31.122 = Evil In The House (November 07, 1948)SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.comWeird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks.= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ="I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46Find out how to escape eternal darkness at https://weirddarkness.com/eternaldarknessWeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

Get full-length pulp audiobooks, pulp eBooks, and old-time radio shows ABSOLUTELY FREE FOR IMMEDIATE DOWNLOAD by emailing [email protected]!After September 30, 1962, commercial radio drama was as dead as the doornail described in the opening pages of Dickens' A Christmas Carol (1843), and everyone understood that television killed it. People who worked in both mediums realized that working in radio was a much better overall experience than television could ever be. Sure, TV had pictures to go along with the stories, but putting those pictures on the air involved a highly technical and expensive technology, and by the time those images reached the audience they were grainy, blurry, and sometimes nearly impossible to see. One actor could play different parts on several different radio programs, even in a single episode, but once they were seen in a TV show their face was recognizable enough that they had a hard time working on another show, and even a twenty-second appearance meant hours in makeup and wardrobe. Appearing in a radio drama required just a couple rehearsals and then remaining as quiet as possible in the studio, following along in the script until time to perform your lines, which you also read from the script. There was one important thing that television could offer over radio work; money. The accounting in TV and radio was fundamentally different. A radio program was usually paid for by a single sponsor while commercial time on TV shows was sold piecemeal, but there was still a phenomenal amount of money involved in TV production and the networks and sponsors were happy to pay it. Unable to compete with the huge amount of money being spread around by TV, after the final broadcasts of Suspense and Yours Truly Johnny Dollar on September 30, 1960, the Golden Age of Radio came to an end. Or did it? In the decade after the end of the Golden Age of Radio, TV matured artistically and technically. There had been a rejection by the networks of "rural" programming which helped launch a nostalgia craze. This craze began with the release of George Lucas's American Graffiti (1973), and suddenly everything old seemed new again. One of the genres which were best suited to radio was the horror shows which made listeners sit up in bed and pull the sheets over their heads. This sort of program had been pioneered Wyliss Cooper and Arch Oboler on Lights Out as well as The Whistler, Suspense, and Inner Sanctum Mysteries. This was the type of show creators decided upon for his radio nostalgia project, which became The CBS Radio Mystery Theater. They were convinced that there was enough interest from those who had heard similar shows growing up during the Golden Age, but the show built a following of younger fans for whom radio drama was a new and exciting experience. In many ways, CBSRMT was more like a TV program on the radio than a typical Old Time Radio show. The shows were taped rather than broadcast live, which allowed for greater post-production editing and creative control. The scripts generally ran 45 minutes, and the action was broken at points to allow for separately produced commercials and news bulletins to be inserted. The opening featured the "creaking door" effect which had been part of The Inner Sanctum. Host E.G. Marshall was never as campily creepy earlier horror hosts, but his closing, "Until next time, pleasant… dreams?" was sure to inspire nightmares. Production of CBSRMT was efficient almost to the point of cheapness. Creators drew upon radio row veterans working in New York as well as up-and-coming television personalities. The show used original stories from a wide variety of genres as well as literary classics. Writers were paid a flat $350 for each recorded script, and actors received union scale rates of $73.92 per episode. The actors would come into the studio for an initial script reading at 9:00 am, and the episode was generally completed by noon. Paychecks were handed out and the tape would be edited in the afternoon.00:00:00.000 = INTRODUCTION00:01:54.482 = Double Exposure (September 09, 1974)00:47:02.196 = The Hand That Refused To Die (September 11, 1974)01:32:06.177 = The Trouble With Murder (September 12, 1974)02:17:02.229 = What Happened To Mrs. Forbush (September 16, 1974)03:01:48.871 = Thicker Than Water (September 17, 1974)03:46:40.018 = The Garden (September 19, 1974)04:31:25.928 = Island Of The Lost (September 23, 1974)SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.comWeird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks.= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ="I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46Find out how to escape eternal darkness at https://weirddarkness.com/eternaldarknessWeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

IN THIS EPISODE: In 2016, near the infamous Nazca Lines, an incredible find came to light – not gold or jewels, not remnants of pottery, but a tomb. But what was found within the tomb has raised more questions than answers, as the resident mummies appears not to be human… just humanoid. (The Nazca Three-Fingered Mummy) *** Once in a while you’ll hear of a horrible tragedy and the victim will be described as “ground into mincemeat”. In some case, this is not much of an exaggeration. (Ground Into Mincemeat) *** In 1983 Diane Downs shot her own children – Christie, Danny and Cheryl, in the backseat of the car. Miraculously, Christie Downs survived. (The Survival of Christie Downs) *** When it comes to demonic possession, it’s often chalked up to mental illness – but sometimes the events surrounding the possessed person are so bizarre and unexplainable, you are almost forced to believe in the supernatural. Such was the case with Don Decker. (The Pennsylvania Rain Man) *** Cannibalism – just the word itself is enough to creep you out. Fortunately, cases of it are usually distant, in some far-off, remote, jungle area, done by natives who have yet to discover civilization. At least, that’s what we like to believe. Unfortunately, it happens worldwide, nearer than you think. Like… in America. And in some cases, not so long ago.

IN THIS EPISODE: Something strange happened in 1966 Australia. Lights in the skies, sightings of saucer shaped objects, and the start of what eventually came to be known as crop circles. It’s a mystery that still lingers today, and it appears to be a kind of catalyst for so many similar oddities to follow. (The Tully Nests Affair) *** When you think of the most deadly, man-killing animals in existence, you might think of the big cats, or alligators, or sharks… but don’t be too quick to dismiss birds as dealers of death. (Death-Dealing Fowl) *** It’s one of the world’s most haunted places… it is a ship that you can now book a room in as a hotel. We’ll look at the very haunted Queen Mary. (The Haunted Queen Mary) *** The result of an accidental pregnancy finds out later in life he might be the son of a demon. (Son of the Demon) *** Most every item I bring to you here in Weird Darkness is going to have taken place in history – and most all of them you hear are going to be unnerving, or even horrifying… but there are some particularly macabre moments in history that stand out among the others. Most of which you’ve probably never heard of.

The network had no idea how well the series would perform - its only previous showcase was as an hour-long audition on the 1940 series "Forecast" - so running out and getting a sponsor didn’t seem to be important at that particular stage. Besides, in the show’s salad days, the guest stars that did appear were of considerably low wattage. But as "Suspense" grew in popularity and began to attract a more upscale acting clientele anxious to participate in “radio’s outstanding theater of thrills,” finding someone to pick up the weekly tab became a top priority for CBS. Luckily, in December 2, 1943, the series found its 'angel' in the sponsorship of Roma Wines. "Suspense’s" long association with Roma (and co-branded Cresta Blanca) was good for both the series and the company; a bigger budget attracted bigger guest stars and, as the program began to climb in the ratings, the company began to enjoy substantial profits. This fruitful arrangement came to an end on November 20, 1947. Roma had been admittedly seeing other programs behind "Suspense’s" back and the bright array of top Hollywood talent began to dim a bit as many of the stars began to tire of the program. CBS rolled the dice and took one heck of a chance in keeping "Suspense" on the air; the network still felt that the series was popular with audiences and they agreed to sustain the program until another sponsor could be found. How serious was CBS about keeping its prestige show? Beginning January 3, 1948, "Suspense" was moved to Saturday nights and was broadcast from 8:00 to 9:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. That’s right: a full hour of “Suspense.” Hour-long dramatic shows were a gamble at best; many stars tended to shun these programs - a half-hour show was grueling enough to get through - and only a few, "The Lux Radio Theater" being the best example, managed to continue on the air for very long. But Lux had a sponsor all too willing to write checks on a weekly basis...while CBS, without a sponsor to back them up, was still the sole support of "Suspense." What's more, the network learned soon enough that by doubling the show from half-hour to hour-long status, they had to double the pay of the individuals working on the show as well. (Networks, as a rule, cringe at the thought of giving money away.) To jazz up "Suspense," CBS hired actor Robert Montgomery to be the host and occasional performer, figuring that on the weeks when they had to resort to a less-than "A" list of guest stars, at least Montgomery would be around to provide a certain degree of glitter. Montgomery, at it turned out, made appearances in quite a few of the hour-long shows, including both the premiere, “The Black Curtain”, and most notably in “Night Must Fall”, which allowed him to reprise the role he had created in the 1937 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture of the same name. "Suspense’s" hour-long experiment closed up shop on May 15, 1948 and the show moved back to Thursday night in its familiar half-hour form through September 1962.00:00:00.000 = INTRODUCTION00:01:54.350 = The Bluebeard Of Bellac (September 21, 1944)00:31:24.702 = Drury’s Bones (January 25, 1945)01:00:50.179 = A Tale Of Two Sisters (February 08, 1945)01:30:19.574 = Sell Me Your Life (February 15, 1945)01:59:40.041 = John Barbey And Son (February 22, 1945)02:29:09.451 = My Wife Geraldine (March 01, 1945)02:58:27.676 = Love’s Lovely Counterfeit (March 08, 1945)03:27:59.046 = Cricket (March 15, 1945)03:57:28.431 = Hearts Desire (March 22, 1945)04:26:57.668 = The Taming Of The Beast (March 29, 1945)SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.comWeird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks.= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ="I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46WeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

We all love a good mystery – especially if we discover the answer at the end. But even more intriguing are those mysteries that, after years, or decades, still remain unsolved. We’ll look at some of the most famous – and most infamous of those unsolved mysteries. Plus, unsolved mysteries are fascinating… we want to know who was D.B. Cooper, and what happened to him. Who committed the Black Dahlia murder? Who was Jack the Ripper? But sometimes those unsolved mysteries get solved… and sometimes, the solving of the mystery makes them that much more unsettling.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Jazz Axeman of New Orleans” episode: https://weirddarkness.com/?s=axeman+of+new+orleans“Why We Love Mysteries” by Christina Hoag for Medium: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/mvbm5auk“Disturbing Unsolved Mysteries” by Maryn Liles for Parade: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2wvc2yf6“Previously Unsolved Mysteries That Are Still Disturbing” by Will Morgan for Weird History:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yw5rc5mpWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
