Clarita Villanueva was orphaned before she was teenager. With no one to care for her, Clarita began living on the streets of Manila, dancing for money and prostituting herself to degenerates. But things were about to get even worse for the poor girl… demonically worse. IN THIS EPISODE: It's been said that the average person walks past at least sixteen murderers in their lifetime. A chilling thought. But when you know that a serial killer is on the loose, you look at each stranger you meet as a potentially dangerous encounter. And right now in the UK they have a serial killer still at large targeting easy victims… the country's elderly. (UK's Senior Citizen Serial Killer) *** While the Spiritualism Movement caught fire in the 1840's with the Fox Sisters and stayed fairly strong for some time, after the 1920s most of the teachings and those soaking it in began to dwindle. Strangely though, there seems to be a kind of resurging interest in one particular man's writings here in the 21st century. Many are intrigued by the “secret teachings” of Manly P. Hall. (The Secret Teachings of Manly P. Hall) *** In May, 1987, Kenneth Parks walked into a police station and confessed, “I just killed two people; I've just killed my mother‑ and father‑in‑law.  I stabbed and beat them to death.  It's all my fault." Case closed, right? Well no… because it appears he might've been sleepwalking when he committed the murders. (The Sleepwalker Defense) *** When the body of Elva Shue was found next to her bed, it was assumed to be an accident. But her spirit refused to rest until someone investigated further. Her ghost was crying murder. (The Ghost That Solved a Murder) *** Clarita Villanueva was orphaned before she was teenager. With no one to care for her, Clarita began living on the streets of Manila, dancing for money and prostituting herself to degenerates.

Hollywood has no shortage of scandals and tragedies, but some of the most haunting cases involve celebrities who simply vanished without a trace, leaving behind nothing but mysterious clues and unanswered questions.IN THIS EPISODE: Showbiz is full of not just celebrities, but also of crime and murder. But even stranger are those cases where someone famous simply disappears without a trace, and without an explanation. *** North Carolina's Great Dismal Swamp is full of horror stories – but the worst might be the fact that the swamp appears to swallow people alive. (Swallowed Alive In Great Dismal Swamp) *** A weeping man called the police to tearfully apologize for murdering his victims… but that didn't stop him from continuing to kill again and again. (The Weepy Voiced Killer) *** In Hindu culture, it is believed if certain post-death rituals are not conducted on those who have passed away, the deceased's family would not prosper and there would be misfortunes aplenty. One family in Bhutan had to learn that the hard way. (The Stoning Ghost of Sombek) *** An apparent incident involving a “gigantic cigar-shaped UFO” somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean in May 1963 wasn't reported for almost 20 years, when a witness to the event finally came forward through a written letter of the incident. (The Atlantic UFO of 1963) *** In a beautiful little town in North Wales, children ran through the graveyard, searching for little men with big eyes and long ears. They were searching for strange fairy folk – the ‘brownies' of Bangor. (The Brownies of Bangor) *** Serial killer Ed Gein was caught and arrested for his crimes in November of 1957 – but that didn't mean Gein's neighbors would see the end of his influence on their lives.

Before Roswell made UFOs a household name, strange craft were already haunting our skies. In the early 1900s, from the battlefields of World War I to quiet farmlands across the globe, witnesses reported encounters with mysterious airships, glowing discs, and their otherworldly occupants.

A farmer's bloody revenge left seven women hanging from the hills of Nebraska—and over a century later, their screams still echo through the darkness while cars mysteriously stall and glowing red eyes watch from the shadows of Seven Sisters Road.IN THIS EPISODE: There are many legends from Nebraska involving supernatural entities, but one of the eerier accounts out there is the story of Nebraska's haunted “L Street”. According to legend, seven women were murdered on the road in the 1900s. Ever since, the road and surrounding hills have been a rumored hotbed of paranormal activity. It's labeled as "L Street" on the map – but locals call it “Seven Sisters Road. (The Terror of Seven Sisters Road) *** The restaurant is a bit dated with the servers wearing old-fashioned black and white aprons. The food was incredible, the place was spotlessly clean.

The full-length, unabridged audiobook narrated by Weird Darkness host, Darren Marlar. | No one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that intelligent life beyond Earth was watching us. Studying us. Envying us. When massive cylinders fell from the sky and buried themselves in the English countryside, curious crowds gathered to witness what they thought was a meteorite. But when those cylinders unscrewed from within, what emerged would shatter humanity's place at the top of the evolutionary ladder. Towering tripods. Heat rays that incinerated everything in their path. And an enemy more advanced, more ruthless, and more alien than anyone could have imagined. H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds" – the story that invented the alien invasion. This is the complete, unabridged audiobook that asks one terrifying question: What happens when humanity becomes the hunted?CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…BOOK ONE: THE COMING OF THE MARTIANS:00:00:00.000 = (I) The Eve of the War00:14:16.405 = (II) The Falling Star00:22:00.836 = (III) On Horsell Common00:27:45.677 = (IV) The Cylinder Opens00:34:17.623 = (V) The Heat-Ray00:42:57.421 = (VI) The Heat-Ray In The Chobham Road00:47:48.714 = (VII) How I Reached Home00:55:46.271 = (VIII) Friday Night01:01:29.924 = (IX) The Fighting Begins01:12:31.580 = (X) In The Storm01:24:39.457 = (XI) At The Window01:36:56.366 = (XII) What I Saw of the Destruction of Weybridge and Shepperton01:58:51.158 = (XIII) How I Fell In With The Curate02:10:01.190 = (XIV) In London02:31:21.494 = (XV) What Had Happened In Surrey02:48:02.610 = (XVI) The Exodus From London03:12:02.239 = (XVII) The “Thunder Child”BOOK TWO: THE EARTH UNDER THE MARTIANS03:31:49.519 = (I) Under Foot03:47:18.026 = (II) What We Saw From The Ruined House04:07:38.626 = (III) The Days of Imprisonment04:19:10.254 = (IV) The Death of the Curate04:28:53.956 = (V) The Stillness04:34:49.349 = (VI) The Work of Fifteen Days04:42:30.209 = (VII) The Man on Putney Hill05:16:03.135 = (VIII) Dead London05:34:44.711 = (IX) Wreckage05:45:53.821 = (X) Epilogue====="I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46= = = = =WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.

On a freezing February morning in 1855, the terrified residents of Devon, England discovered miles of cloven hoof prints burned into fresh snow—tracks that climbed over rooftops, passed through locked gates, squeezed through four-inch pipes, and seemed to deliberately stop at people's front doors.IN THIS EPISODE: One morning in 1855, citizens of the English town of Devon were surprised to find strange footprints about town in the snow – not just on the street and sidewalks – but on their doorways, and on the house roofs, haystacks, walking up walls, and through pipes. The tracks covered over 100 miles and there was no explanation of how the prints were made – but many had a theory about who made the prints. They say it was the Devil. (The Devil Came To Devon) *** Picture this, you are called to the scene of a murder. The victim's shotgun was found in his room. It had been used some time recently, and there was an empty cartridge on the floor. There was, however, no blood or any other obvious signs of violence in the house. And something else odd, a pot in the kitchen was discovered to contain large amounts of strychnine. It sounds like one of those murder-mystery party games you solve with friends, but this is from a true murder mystery in Australia that still fascinates those who study the case. (The Wonnangatta Murders) *** What do a Jesuit missionary and a former slave have in common? The answer is… Bigfoot. (The Missionary, The Slave, and Bigfoot) *** The FBI described Israel Keyes as one of the most meticulous and vile serial killers in American history – so much so, he even had the FBI scratching their heads.

When a Maine radio reporter counted 30 unmarked jets laying persistent white trails across the sky in 45 minutes and an air traffic controller admitted off-record he'd been ordered by "higher civil authority" to reroute commercial flights away from a military exercise no one would explain, it sparked a global debate that would divide scientists, military officials, and millions of observers across 14 countries for the next two decades.IN THIS EPISODE: The chemtrail conspiracy theory posits the belief that long-lasting condensation trails, also known as “contrails” are in fact "chemtrails" consisting of chemical or biological agents purposefully left in the sky by high-flying aircraft, sprayed for nefarious purposes and undisclosed to the general public. The scientific community has dismissed the theory, but others insist the truth is simply being covered up. Who is telling the truth? What is the truth? We'll look at the controversy over contrails. (Contrary Chemtrails) *** In 1947, Major Jesse Marcel was sent to a crash site near Roswell, New Mexico to investigate what happened. We all know the story from there – the strange metal, the alien bodies, the confiscated extraterrestrial technology, the weather-balloon story we initially believed and then didn't believe. Now, more than seven decades later, Jesse Marcel's grandchildren are speaking up about their knowledge of what happened at Roswell. (The Roswell Grandchildren) *** If you look up the term “water babies” on the net, you might find something akin to swim classes for newborns and toddlers. But if you mention the term “water babies” near Pyramid Lake in Nevada, a much, much darker scene comes to mind. (Water Babies Aren't As Cute As They Sound) *** According to the Bible, no man knows the day Christ will return. But that didn't stop William Miller from predicting anyway. Not once, but three times – and he was wrong, three times.

A family's day at Sydney's Luna Park ended in flames when a Ghost Train fire killed seven people—including six children—but the last photograph taken before the tragedy has sparked theories of something far more sinister than an accident.IN THIS EPISODE: Some of the most unsettling of urban legends can take place in some of the happiest places on earth. Ghostly children swinging in a playground, phantom-like warriors coming out at night in beautiful Hawaii, but there's one I never heard of until just this morning that I had to look up… it has to do with a boy, a theme park, and a man with horns, (Damien and the Horned Man) *** In 1944 Dorothy Forstein came home from shopping and was attacked by an intruder, beat within an inch of her life. Nothing was stolen, no fingerprints left, no clue as to how the person entered the house to begin with. Dorothy recovered from her injuries… but years later she found her grim fate wasn't done with her. (The Disappearance of Dorothy Forstein) *** SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence is continually scanning the heavens on the lookout for life elsewhere in the universe. But is it possible that somewhere on another planet out there, those beings are doing the same thing – and could actually be watching us? Scientists say that not only is it possible, but they suspect it could be over 1,000 extraterrestrial space stations are watching our every move! (Are We Being Watched By Alien Space Stations?) *** Eighteen-year-old Ellen Lucas was to be married on October 3rd – but the evening of October 2nd she went out with her fiance, never to be seen alive again. Did a horrible accident destroy the chances of this couple's happy life together? A random act of violence? Or was it something even more sinister? (The Bridgeport Tragedy) *** She seemed the perfect American, even born to a US military doctor, graduating from a prestigious American college, and working tirelessly, doing her part to serve her country as a military analyst.

He robbed 28 stagecoaches without firing a single shot, left poetry at crime scenes, and vanished into legend—this is the strange tale of Black Bart, the gentleman bandit.IN THIS EPISODE: Black Bart – just the name conjures up an image of a rugged man willing to mow you down in a hail of bullets if you looked at him wrong, especially during one of his infamous stagecoach robberies. But legends can be wrong, and the real Black Bart might not have been so black in the heart as we've been led to believe.

Martin Willis welcomes Kelly Hughes and Sam N. Milodragovich, co-creators of the Frightday and Visitors podcasts, for a fascinating deep dive into UFOs, conspiracies, cryptids, and the enduring legacy of Art Bell's Midnight in the Desert. Kelly Hughes has been fascinated by the paranormal since childhood—growing up listening to Art Bell with her father. As a longtime voice on the Frightday horror podcast (syndicated on the Dark Matter Digital Network), Kelly's reporting and interviews led to VISITORS, a 2025 spinoff exploring UFOs, abductions, and the people behind the phenomena. Her warmth and curiosity have made her a standout in the UFO and paranormal community. Sam N. Milodragovich, Frightday co-founder and VISITORS host, brings a deep appreciation for the macabre and a skeptical yet open-minded perspective on the unexplained. With roots in horror, true crime, and high strangeness, Sam has interviewed remarkable figures from science, government, and beyond—unraveling the stories that linger between the known and the unknown. Together, Kelly and Sam bring their signature intelligence, humor, and insight to this conversation—touching on historical UFO cases, media narratives, and why the unexplained still matters today.  SHOW NOTESSupport the Show & Stay Connected!

Interview with a John Brennan!

IN THIS EPISODE: Luther Kross brings us the story of a son who rushes to his mother's deathbed to say goodbye, but the hardest conversation still awaits him when he returns home to face his father. It's “The Day Maw Died”. *** Janine Franks sent in the tale, “The Basement Door” in which a woman inherits her childhood home and finally discovers why her parents forbade her from ever opening the mysterious boarded-up door in the basement. *** A seasoned monster hunter tracks a terrifying creature through the Irish countryside, but nothing could prepare him for the nightmarish battle that awaits in an old barn. It's “The Bogbody Boogyman” by H.J.
