That's when you not only see a UFO, but you also see the extraterrestrials. The fourth kind of encounter is when you are abducted. A close encounter of the fifth kind is when you communicate with the alien – either verbally or telepathically. But then there is a close encounter of the sixth kind – the kind of encounter not even die-hard Ufologists and lovers of anything extraterrestrial want to experience… because nobody comes back from it alive. (Close Encounters of the Sixth Kind) *** In 1908, Charles Luard found his wife Caroline shot dead at a neighbor's country house. But who killed her? (The Seal Chart Murder) *** Madame Delphine LaLaurie, made popular by Kathy Bates in TV's “American Horror Story: Coven” was a first class monster. A figure of high society, she was well known for her mistreatment of slaves. But no one knew just how sick she truly was.

In tonight's Creepypasta, a peaceful neighborhood on Maple Crescent becomes the epicenter of a horrifying transformation—one that turns residents into something feral, violent, and not entirely human.

January 20th sits on the calendar like a date with unfinished business. It's the day America permanently changed how presidents leave office, the anniversary of a week when an entire state armed itself against something that left impossible tracks in the snow, and the exact moment a foreign government executed one of the most precisely timed acts of political spite ever recorded. Three stories. One date. None of them end quite the way you'd expect.EPISODE PAGE: https://WeirdDarkness.com/MWD20260120NOTE: Some of this content may have been created with assistance from AI tools, but it has been reviewed, edited, narrated, produced, and approved by Darren Marlar, creator and host of Weird Darkness — who, despite popular conspiracy theories, is NOT an AI voice.WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.
