Across four decades on Heswall's Dawstone Road, drivers and a motorcyclist reported a seven-foot horned figure that seized their vehicles and threw them into the sandstone wall.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/DawstoneDemonREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2en5ubwwFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Dawstone Road is where some say the veil between our reality and the unknown is thin. A motorist's brush with death in 1961 sparked a chain of inexplicable events. From encounters with horned entities to unexplained accidents, the road holds secrets that seem to defy rational explanation. (The Demon of Dawstone Road) *** There is a dark history and supernatural secrets at the Manila Film Center. Built as a symbol of power and prestige during the Marcos regime, its construction was rushed, resulting in a catastrophic collapse that claimed numerous lives. But the horror didn't end there. Stories of hauntings, spectral hands reaching out, and cries for help still echo through its halls. (Horrors At Manila Film Center) *** When 19-year-old Kenneka Jenkins vanished during a hotel party, it sparked a viral whirlwind of speculation and suspicion. Despite authorities ruling her death an accident, questions lingered – as they should, seeing as her body was found in the hotel freezer. (Frozen Corpse at Crown Plaza) *** For over a century, these ghostly orbs have captivated and spooked travelers in Queensland, Australia. Are they supernatural spirits or mere mirages?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 15, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness travels from a haunted stretch of English road and a tower built on dead workers to a teenager found frozen in a hotel kitchen, a century of phantom lights in the Australian Outback, and an 18th-century medical practice involving tobacco and a part of the body it had no business near.It opens on Dawstone Road in Heswall, where a Neston motorist crashed through a six-foot sandstone wall in the winter of 1961 and later told a surgeon at Clatterbridge Hospital that a horrible devil had pushed his car sideways, despite no alcohol in his blood. That March, a 23-year-old Wallasey man named Rory was thrown from his motorbike at the Baskervyle Road junction by a seven-foot horned figure that seized his handlebars, and he woke to a face with pointed ears and luminous eyes muttering about the pit. The road's reputation reaches back to November 1934, when a posse hunted a demonic creature that a wealthy mansion owner blamed on his escaped bulldog, an explanation a local policeman rejected by asking how a broad bulldog squeezed through iron gate bars. The pattern continued through a stalled Hillman Imp shoved backwards in 1969 and a nurse's 1978 sighting of a horned man in black standing beside a ten-foot hole that glowed red and echoed with screaming.From there the episode moves to the Manila Film Center, the cinema palace Imelda Marcos rushed to completion for the first Manila International Film Festival in January 1982, where part of the structure collapsed on November 17, 1981 and buried workers in wet cement during a 24-hour construction schedule. Eyewitness Nena Benigno described seeing men carried out frozen in cement that had not fully hardened, while official counts from the Marcos regime claimed only a handful of deaths against outside estimates ranging as high as 169. Architect Froilan Hong put the toll at seven and denied the burial stories, yet legends persisted that the dead were entombed in the walls, and a medium reportedly brought in by Imelda Marcos to exorcise the building announced during a trance that the spirits now numbered 169 after the road death of project supervisor Betty Benitez.Next comes the death of 19-year-old Kenneka Jenkins, found face-down in a walk-in freezer at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare in Rosemont on the morning of September 11, 2017, nearly a full day after security footage caught her stumbling through the hotel and entering an unused kitchen. The Cook County Medical Examiner ruled the death an accident from hypothermia, with a blood-alcohol level of 0.112 and epilepsy medication cited as contributing factors, but her mother Teresa Martin questioned how a teenager could open the freezer's heavy steel doors and filed a $50 million lawsuit against the hotel. Viral speculation drew comparisons to the 2013 death of Elisa Lam at the Cecil Hotel, fueled by footage in which background music was mistaken for a cry of help and an anonymous tip claiming a gang had killed her for $200.The episode then crosses to the Outback near Boulia in Queensland, where Min Min lights have trailed travelers since Europeans first documented them in 1838, hovering about three feet off the ground, changing color, and following people on foot, on horseback, and in cars. A stockman riding past the burned ruins of the Min Min Hotel reported a glow the size of a watermelon that chased him to the edge of town, and Arrernte elder Mavis Malbunka tied the lights to a Dreamtime story of a mother searching for a child fallen from the Milky Way. University of Queensland physiologist Jack Pettigrew traced the phenomenon to a Fata Morgana, an optical illusion in which warm air over cold bends light from sources hundreds of kilometers beyond the horizon, a finding he published in 2003 after recreating the effect with car headlights ten kilometers away.The episode closes on the tobacco enema, the 18th-century practice of blowing smoke into a patient's rectum to revive the drowned, with resuscitation kits hung near English waterways for emergency use. Nicholas Culpeper adapted the method from Native American medicine and Richard Mead carried it forward, and an early 1746 account credits a husband with reviving his apparently drowned wife by inserting a pipe stem and puffing smoke through it. Nicotine absorbed this way could raise a patient's heart rate, which gave the treatment a plausible mechanism, and the 1774 Institution for Affording Immediate Relief to Persons Apparently Dead from Drowning built its work around it before being renamed the Royal Humane Society, which still operates in England today.

(Archival audio from Sustainable Breakfast 2016) - Former Tuesday Breakfast presenter Tobie speaks to Chloe Aldenhoven from Lock the Gate about the effects that unconventional gas mining has on water quality.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners are advised this episode contains descriptions of an Indigenous person who has died. It's the story that has rocked Australia. A five-year-old girl disappeared from a town camp, sparking a desperate five-day search that ended in heartbreak.

An art exhibition in Melbourne is showcasing the work of three Aboriginal sisters in a collection entitled 'Connected Through Country'. Artists Amunda, Grace and Myra Gorey own their own art collective called No Fixed Gallery, which is dedicated to celebrating 65,000 years of Arrernte culture through contemporary art. In this episode of Weekend One on One, Biwa Kwan spoke with Amunda Gorey about the inspiration for the latest collection - and how her art intersects with her work with non-profit Children's Ground to deliver change and impact for First Nations children through a pioneering model blending lifelong learning and confidence in culture and language.

This week we speak with two candidates in the upcoming Federal election that are running on a platform of nuclear free and sustainable energy.Peltherre Chris Tomlins is a candidate with the Indigenous-Aboriginal Party of Australia in the seat of Lingiari in the Northern Territory.  Uncle Chris is a custodian, a peaceful protector of his country and and a passionate activist. Among other things, he supported actions such as ‘Close Pine Gap', Indigenous Sovereignty, and recognition of the Frontier Wars.  Pine Gap is the extensive US military and intelligence base that occupies Aboriginal lands of the Arrernte people, the original custodians of country. The Arrernte were never asked for their permission to build Pine Gap on their land.  Rochelle Hine is the Greens candidate for Gippsland. One of Rochelle's campaign policies is 'Keeping the region free of the threat of nuclear reactors'. She has been involved in the nuclear actions happening locally, attending Nanna's Against Nuclear, and other rally's.

Alice Springs is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Violent crimes committed by young people, including a recent attack on a woman and her two-month-old baby, have left the town shaken.  The baby has suffered a brain bleed and a fractured skull, and there are now big questions about how to keep the community safe, what justice should look like and why crimes like this happen at all. Today, Arrernte woman Catherine Liddle, CEO of SNAICC, the national body representing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, on the underlying issues wreaking havoc on the streets of Alice Springs and what can be done to address the youth crime crisis.

Police are everywhere in Alice Springs. You see them driving pursuit vehicles and caged vans on the streets, or stationed outside the bottle shop checking IDs. But more police doesn't mean less crime – it just means more people are getting locked up. As Alice Springs reels from the police shooting of Warlpiri teenager Kumanjayi Walker, and in the wake of an apology from the Northern Territory Police Commissioner Michael Murphy for systemic racism, Daniel James wants to find out whether it's possible to mend the broken relationship between the coppers and the Indigenous community. In the second episode of our three part series, Daniel visits the police headquarters to meet the Arrernte woman tasked with one of the most challenging jobs in Alice Springs – to fix the culture inside the police force.  Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram

Hello and welcome to another iteration of the Monday Breakfast show on 3CR Community Radio for the 30th of September 2024.   First up we will hear part of an interview from last Wednesday's Bunjil's Fire show in which President of the Black Peoples Union Keiran Stewart-Assheton speaks with Uncle Faron Peckham about the Northern Territory government's intention to build an art gallery on culturally significant land in Mparntwe (Alice Springs). The interview begins with some context into how the site was chosen for the proposed art gallery as well as the evolution of opposition to it by the custodians of Mparntwe. Listen to the full interview here and sign the petition to stop the NT government from destroying Arrernte sacred sites here. Catch Bunjil's Fire live on Wednesdays from 11AM to 1pm.Following that interview, Rob and Eric have a conversation detailing Eric's experiences with art galleries exploiting First Nations people and cultures for the sake of profit. We then hear excerpts from Nasser Mashni's extended conversation with local Palestinian organiser Nour Salman from the Palestine Remembered show on Saturday the 21st of September. The interview discusses the movement in Naarm, local electoral politics, and the importance of telling the truth as the anniversary of October 7 approaches. Get down to the Rally this weekend (6 Oct) and 'bring two friends' says Nour, for the 52nd week straight and every Sunday until Palestine is free. It'll be held at the State Library from 12pm. Listen to Nour and Nasser's full conversation here or catch Palestine Remembered, the only dedicated show on Palestine in so-called Australia, live on Saturdays from 9:30AM to 10AM. Last week the ACCC launched a court case against supermarket giants Coles and Woolworths over allegedly misleading discount claims from both companies. To unpack that claim, Eric spoke with secretary of the Retail and Fast Food Workers' Union, Josh Cullinan. On Tuesday the 1st of October a picket will once again take place outside AW Bell, a manufacturer which makes parts for F35 striker jets here in Naarm and supplies them for countries using the planes all over the globe. F35s are currently being used to drop bombs in Palestine, Yemen, and Lebanon -- to name just a few places. Rob spoke with an anonymous attendee ahead of the picket to unpack AW Bell's response to previous pickets, its inclusion of Lockheed Martin's mentorship program, and the local community's response to learning AW Bell is complicit in genocides. The picket takes place at 145 Abbotts Road in Dandenong from 5AM.  Stay tuned for next week's show which will be wholly dedicated to talking about Palestinian resistance and contextualising October 7th within a larger history of Israel's genocidal conquest of Palestine.Songs played: Going up the Mountain (Ya Taali​'​een ‘ala el​-​Jabal) - Reem Kelani No Warning - Inkabee ft.

The event featured Keiran Stewart-Assheton and Leah House of Black Peoples Union in conversation with Amal Naser, Jamal Nabulsi and Lina Koleilat of the Palestinian collective Hirak. The excerpt we'll play today includes commentary by Keiran and Leah on decolonizing your mind, what real solidarity means, and debunking the con of reconciliation.//

The network helps to build a political movement that can physically resist Australia's planet destroying operations with disruptive and targeted action that shuts down the everyday functioning of this machine. In this segment, Spike and James discuss Blockade's mission, the reasons he got involved with the organisation, the role a commitment to social and environmental justice plays in Blockade's work, and the importance of direct action. Listen back to the second and third segments of this interview on our page.// From our 14 December 2023 show: Have you ever wanted to contribute at a rally but just you're not sure where to start?

So will it rise to the challenge? And what does fair reporting look like in a debate that is already so charged? Today, co-chair of the “Yes” campaign and Arrernte and Kalkadoon woman, Rachel Perkins, on the media's failings and why it has to do better before polling day.

«DOK» wiederholt die erfolgreiche Reiseserie von 2014. Exotische Tiere, Traumstrände, endlose Natur: In Australien lockt das grosse Abenteuer. Die Australier behaupten sogar, auf ihrem Kontinent lebten die glücklichsten Menschen. Darum nennen sie Australien stolz «lucky country», glückliches Land. Sven Furrers Reise beginnt in Alice Springs. In der Stadt mitten im australischen Outback leben 25'000 Menschen und rund 6000 Giftschlangen. Das zumindest behauptet Rex Neindorf, der Schlangenfänger von Alice Springs. Sven Furrer begleitet ihn zu einem Einsatz, der eine überraschende Wende nimmt. Mit dem Aboriginal Dale Campbell erkundet Sven Furrer das Outback. Der junge Nationalpark-Ranger sagt, er habe das Glück in der Natur gefunden. Als Ranger betreut er das Land, das traditionell seinem Stamm, den Arrernte, gehört. Der Gast aus der Schweiz lernt, dass man sich in Australien das Glück erkämpfen muss. Es herrscht eine Bruthitze und aggressive Stechfliegen lassen selbst beim malerischen Sonnenuntergang keine Romantik zu. Sven Furrer reist auf dem legendären Oodnadatta Track, einer alten Handelsroute durch endloses Buschland. Er macht Halt in William Creek. Das Dorf hat fünf Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner, ein Pub, eine Tankstelle und ein Hotel. Beim Frühstück lernt der Walliser den Wirt Trevor Wright kennen. Dieser erzählt ihm, dass ihm nicht nur das Pub, sondern das ganze Dorf gehöre. Und es kommt noch besser: Trevor Wright betreibt eine eigene Airline, die Flüge ins Outback anbietet. So lässt sich Sven Furrer von der Chefpilotin persönlich zu seiner nächsten Destination fliegen.

It's NAIDOC Week 2022 and this year's theme is: Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up! So how can non-indigenous Australians recognise their white privilege and help make systemic change to keep rallying around First Nations Australians? The Labor Government has committed to the Uluru Statement From The Heart, and the New South Wales Government has promised to erect a permanent Aboriginal flag on the Sydney Harbour Bridge by the end of the year, so what's next? The Quicky speaks to two well-known First Nations women to find out how white privilege continues to hurt Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, and what we can all do to help progress the cause of reconciliation in this country.

Part 2 of 2 - Dr. Marcus Curcija continues the discussion with Jane Vadiveloo, Founding CEO and William Tilmouth, Founding Chair of Children's Ground. Jane and William have worked together for over 15 years, culminating in the foundation and direction of Children's Ground. Children's Ground is an organisation led by Aboriginal communities, creating a new future for children filled with promise, justice, hope and empowerment. Children's Ground works with children, families and communities that face the greatest exclusion and live with injustice and disadvantage every single day. We unpack how Stakeholder Engagement and Corporate Social Responsibility can empower First Nations people and ensure that the economic, cultural, and social justice first nations people is upheld and promoted. William Tilmouth was born in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and is an Arrernte man. A member of the stolen generations, William was taken to Croker Island where he lived and attended school with many other children sent there as a result of Government policy of that era. Insight Into Impact connected with Children's Ground after watching In My Blood it Runs. A documentary which arose from the work and families who lead Children's Ground. The documentary follows the story of ten-year-old Dujuan, a child-healer, a good hunter and speaker of three languages. As Dujuan shares his wisdom of history and the complex world around him, the audience witness his spark and intelligence. Yet Dujuan is ‘failing' in school and facing increasing scrutiny from welfare and the police. As he travels perilously close to incarceration, his family fights to give him a strong Arrernte education alongside his western education lest he becomes another statistic. His grandmothers lead Children's Ground and key advisors to the film include the Chair, CEO and cultural leaders of Children's Ground. We encourage you to follow the link below and watch the documentary. We also encourage you to follow the work on Children's Ground and learn how you can support both these organisations.

Hella Ibrahim, Ruby Hamad and Celeste Liddle at the Wheeler Centre In 2018, Sydney journalist Ruby Hamad wrote an article for the Guardian that touched a nerve with readers around the world. The article, ‘How white women use strategic tears to silence women of colour,' was about the special and dangerous claims white women make to victimhood – in the workplace, in public debate, and in private interactions – and how these adversely affect and are wielded against women of colour. The ‘damsel in distress' tactic, Hamad wrote, is employed ‘to muster sympathy and avoid accountability, by turning the tables and accusing the accuser.' She has since adapted the article into a new book, White Tears/Brown Scars. Hosted by Hella Ibrahim, Hamad is joined at the Wheeler Centre by Arrernte activist and social commentator Celeste Liddle for a discussion about what happens when racism and sexism collide.
