Something lifted out of Horseshoe Lagoon on a north Queensland banana farm in January 1966, and what it left floating on the surface was still there days later when the reporters, the air force, and ufologists arrived to investigate it.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/TullyNestAffairREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2tuf57reFEATURED STORIES 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.

From the moment she first stepped inside her friend's old house, something about it felt wrong. Strange things happened often enough that the family had almost become accustomed to them, including sightings that were difficult to dismiss as imagination.But one night, while a group of friends sat together talking, something happened that unsettled everyone in the room.She asked her friend's brother a question and clearly heard him answer. So did everyone else.There was just one problem: he hadn't spoken.His mouth never moved; he wasn't even looking at her—and the voice that sounded exactly like his seemed to come from somewhere just behind him.Love real ghost stories?

She'd lived in plenty of places before and never believed a house itself could be haunted. If anything strange happened, it always seemed connected to her—not the building.Then she moved into a townhouse where one bedroom felt wrong from the very beginning.The uneasy feeling never spread beyond that room, but it also never went away. After a terrifying encounter beside her bed, she decided to cleanse the space, convinced it would finally bring some peace. Instead, the very next night, she woke to the overwhelming sensation that something was leaning over her in the darkness... and she couldn't shake the feeling that whatever had been there wasn't happy she'd tried to make it leave.#RealGhostStories #HauntedBedroom #GhostStories #Paranormal #Smudging #GhostEncounter #HauntedHouse #SpiritActivity #TrueGhostStory #GhostlyEncounters #ParanormalActivity  #UnexplainedLove real ghost stories?

Late one moonless night in rural Mexico, a young couple slipped away together and began walking miles through the darkness toward a new life.Then a glowing ball of fire appeared beside the road.It seemed to launch from the trees, disappear ahead of them, and return again and again as they walked through the night. It never came close. It never seemed to threaten them. But it also didn't seem willing to leave.For decades, the family wondered what had accompanied them that night.Then, more than 60 years later, someone heard their story—and had a startling reaction.#RealGhostStories #Paranormal #Unexplained #StrangeEncounters #UFO #BallLightning #UnexplainedPhenomena #TrueStories #Mystery #HighStrangenessLove real ghost stories?

In the days after her uncle died, the family stayed close together, sharing memories and trying to get through the grief. More than once, they had the feeling he was still nearby. A curtain moved without a breeze. The dog reacted strangely near the basement where he had spent so much of his time.Then, the morning after the funeral, her aunt noticed a terrible smell coming from the kitchen and traced it to a forgotten bag of potatoes sitting on the hardwood floor.When she lifted the bag, everyone came running.Because underneath it was an image so specific—and so closely connected to the man they had just lost—that the family immediately wondered if this was more than a strange coincidence.#RealGhostStories #GhostStories #SignsFromBeyond #AfterDeathSigns #Hummingbird #Paranormal #LifeAfterDeath #LovedOnes #Unexplained #GhostStory Love real ghost stories?

In a small Wisconsin town, everyone seemed to know the story of the girl who had died at an old country church—and the legend that said she could still be seen if someone rang the bell after dark.So one night, a group of teenage girls decided to find out for themselves.They drove out to the isolated church, wandered around the cemetery, and eventually managed to strike the bell high above them. The sound rolled through the darkness, and for a moment they simply waited to see if anything would happen.Then one of them looked up.What she saw in the bell tower sent them racing for the car—and she soon discovered she wasn't the only one who had seen it.#RealGhostStories #GhostStories #HauntedChurch #BellTower #UrbanLegend #Paranormal #TrueGhostStories #HauntedWisconsin #ScaryStories #GhostStory Love real ghost stories?

Her parents were the very first people to live there. There were no previous owners, no tragic stories tied to the property, and no obvious reason for anything paranormal to happen.Yet over time, small unexplained events slowly became impossible to ignore.Years later, a quiet family conversation revealed something even more unsettling—several relatives, without ever comparing notes, had all seen the exact same dark figure inside the house.If the house had no history... where did it come from?#RealGhostStories #HauntedHouse #ShadowFigure #GhostStories #Paranormal #TrueGhostStory #Supernatural #NewHouse #HauntedHome #Hauntings #UnexplainedActivity #ParanormalActivity #Unexplained #GhostEncounterLove real ghost stories?

For decades, the belongings connected to the unsolved murder of a teenage girl had remained stored away as evidence. Then one afternoon, they were brought out again.She wasn't involved in examining them. She was simply working nearby when an intense, unusual headache suddenly forced her to leave early. She went home, climbed the stairs, collapsed onto her bed—and within minutes felt an unmistakable hand grab her.That was only the beginning.Soon, strange things were happening both at work and inside her house, eventually becoming frightening enough that she and her young daughter refused to sleep upstairs for years. But after everything that happened, one question remained impossible to ignore: Had something always been inside that house… or did the haunting begin when something connected to an old murder was disturbed?#RealGhostStories #GhostStories #TrueGhostStories #Paranormal #HauntedHouse #Haunting #UnsolvedMurder #ParanormalActivity #ScaryStories #GhostStory Love real ghost stories?

When a stubborn husband showed up for another overnight shift despite being seriously ill, he expected to battle exhaustion—not whatever was watching him from the rafters overhead.At first, it looked like nothing more than a strange shadow in the corner of a brightly lit building. But as the night wore on and his condition worsened, the figure became clearer... and seemed to move closer with every passing hour.Oddly, every time his wife stopped to check on him, it retreated. By the end of the shift, it had reached the floor.Was severe illness playing tricks on his mind? Or had he caught a glimpse of something that normally remains unseen?#RealGhostStories #GhostStories #TrueGhostStories #ShadowFigure #DarkEntity #NightShift #ParanormalEncounter #MilitaryVeteran #HauntedWorkplace #BeyondTheVeilLove real ghost stories?

It sounded like every dish, every glass, and every pot in the kitchen had crashed to the floor at the exact same time.The whole family ran to see what had happened, expecting to find broken cabinets and shattered dishes scattered everywhere. Instead, everything was exactly where it belonged.A couple of weeks later, the impossible crash happened again. Once again, nothing had fallen, nothing was broken, and there wasn't a single clue explaining what all four family members had heard. Then, just days later, another strange discovery left them with even more questions.The crashes never returned, but decades later the mystery remains. If nothing actually fell... what made a sound that loud? And why did it seem as though something in that kitchen wanted their attention?#RealGhostStories #GhostStories #TrueGhostStories #Paranormal #Unexplained #HauntedHouse #Poltergeist #ParanormalActivity #PoltergeistActivity #ResidualHaunting #UnexplainedMysteriesLove real ghost stories?

She had been seeing strange things for as long as she could remember, and one of her earliest experiences began in a small house in the Midwest.Her father would hear her talking alone in her bedroom and ask who she was speaking to. Her answer was always the same: the woman who came through the wall. For a child, it seemed almost normal.Then one night, she woke to a scratching sound at her bedroom window. The window sat several feet above the ground, with no trees or bushes nearby that could have caused it. She turned on the light and slowly approached the curtains. Whatever was making the sound was still there.And when she finally pulled the curtains open, she saw something that changed the way she remembered that house forever.#RealGhostStories #TrueGhostStories #GhostStory #Paranormal #HauntedHouse #GhostEncounter #Apparition #ParanormalActivity #ChildhoodHaunting #Haunting Love real ghost stories?

Anatol Lieven: The discussion highlights a dystopian shift in modern naval combat, where the Russian ghost fleet employs Mad Max tactics, using netting and spikes, to defend against Ukrainian drone attacks. Anatol Lieven describes a global spread of drone technology that threatens energy prices and international stability. Both Russia and Ukraine suffer from the illusion of an imminent total victory, despite a grinding stalemate in which Russia holds a stronger economic position because of its self-funded war effort while Ukraine remains dependent on precarious European aid. Lieven warns of a potential sea war escalation if Russia retaliates against the seizure of its ships, potentially drawing NATO and the US into a direct naval clash. The conversation also touches on British politics, noting that Prime Minister Andy Burnham faces immense pressure regarding immigration and military spending despite his desire to focus on domestic issues.

TABLE OF CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-23-3036.Anatol Lieven: The discussion highlights a dystopian shift in modern naval combat, where the Russian ghost fleet employs Mad Max tactics, using netting and spikes, to defend against Ukrainian drone attacks. Anatol Lieven describes a global spread of drone technology that threatens energy prices and international stability. Both Russia and Ukraine suffer from the illusion of an imminent total victory, despite a grinding stalemate in which Russia holds a stronger economic position because of its self-funded war effort while Ukraine remains dependent on precarious European aid. Lieven warns of a potential sea war escalation if Russia retaliates against the seizure of its ships, potentially drawing NATO and the US into a direct naval clash. The conversation also touches on British politics, noting that Prime Minister Andy Burnham faces immense pressure regarding immigration and military spending despite his desire to focus on domestic issues. (1)Mary Anastasia O'Grady, Wall Street Journal editorial board: Venezuela is grappling with the aftermath of severe earthquakes while navigating a complex political transition under the Trump administration's influence. Despite increased oil production, major oil companies are hesitant to invest because of a lack of contractual assurances, bureaucratic overreach, and the absence of a legitimate rule of law. Mary Anastasia O'Grady explains that the current provisional government, led by Delcy Rodríguez, is associated with the previous narco-terror regime, creating a transparency crisis regarding oil profits held in US escrow accounts. While the administration pursues a three-phase plan of stabilization, recovery, and a return to democracy, O'Grady argues the regime is simply buying time to stay in power. As long as oil prices remain high and the US is preoccupied with conflicts in the Middle East, the illegitimate regime has little incentive to hold the free and fair elections demanded by popular opposition leader María Corina Machado. (2)Veronique de Rugy: Veronique de Rugy critiques the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, commonly known as the Jones Act, which requires cargo moved between American ports to be transported on ships that are US-built, US-owned, and US-crewed. Originally intended to protect the American merchant marine after World War I, the act has instead caused domestic shipbuilding costs to skyrocket, making American vessels four to five times more expensive than those built in Asia. Consequently, the US fleet has dwindled, and consumers face higher prices for goods as transportation shifts to more polluting methods such as trucking. Despite its failure to achieve its stated goals, the act is sustained by special interests, including unions and specific shipyards, which exert significant political influence. Current efforts to maintain waivers for energy and fertilizer transportation are facing strong opposition from 52 House Republicans. (3)Craig Unger: Craig Unger explores a sidetracked FBI counterintelligence investigation into Donald Trump's decades-long ties to Russian interests. Unlike criminal inquiries, counterintelligence investigations focus on national security breaches and the laundering of influence, even when no explicit crime is proven. Unger asserts that Russian mafia figures, acting as adjuncts to state intelligence, began bailing out Trump's failing real estate ventures as early as 1984. These transactions, often involving cash purchases of condominiums in Trump Tower, allegedly turned the former president into an asset of Russian intelligence. Unger argues that the Robert Mueller investigation was a dud because it focused narrowly on criminal acts rather than this broader compromise. The discussion concludes by noting Trump's consistent, long-standing hostility toward NATO, which Unger says mirrors Soviet-era talking points and raises ongoing concerns regarding US national security. (4)Graham McAleer: Pope Leo has issued a bold encyclical addressing the ethical and social threats posed by artificial intelligence. Graham McAleer explains that the Pope uses the biblical image of Nimrod and the Tower of Babel to characterize AI as a manifestation of human darkness and godlike pride. A primary concern is the asymmetry of wealth, in which a small, secretive class of Silicon Valley oligarchs controls a technology that operates largely outside state law. While the Church acknowledges AI's potential benefits in medicine and education, it warns that the oligarchic structure of the industry challenges state power and treats users as livestock for data farming. The Pope explicitly calls for government regulation to protect human dignity, yet McAleer notes the fundamental contradiction of expecting the state to control private entities that have already become more powerful than many governments. (5)Alex Wright — Multi-Part, Part One: Alex Wright, author of Empire of Ink: The Printers and Radicals Who Invented the American Newspaper, details the uniquely American invention of the newspaper, beginning with Mary Katherine Goddard's printing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Early printing was a grueling, high-status trade where printer's devils, or apprentices, worked with lead and ink balls. Technological evolution was driven by necessity; rag shortages in the nineteenth century led to bizarre experiments, including turning imported Egyptian mummy linen into paper. The Penny Press, pioneered by Benjamin Day, revolutionized the industry by catering to the working class with tabloids and hoaxes, much to the horror of elitists such as Charles Dickens. Wright emphasizes that early American journalism thrived on a sharing economy in which newspapers were exempted from copyright and postal subsidies encouraged editors to cut and paste each other's work, effectively networking the young nation together. (6)Evan Ellis, US Army War College and a State Department voice: Professor Evan Ellis provides a comprehensive update on Latin American stability, starting with Chile's President Kast, who is tackling immigration and the rise of gangs such as Tren de Aragua while balancing economic ties with China. In Colombia, President De la Espriella is implementing a hardline approach against narco-terrorists following a devastating 7.4 earthquake. The situation in Venezuela remains critical; while oil production has increased to 1.16 million barrels per day, there is zero transparency regarding the $13 million in monthly profits allegedly flowing to the Rodríguez gangsters. Opposition leader Dinora Figueroa is negotiating a gradual return to trust, but the regime shows no intention of relinquishing power. Finally, Ellis notes that El Niño poses a severe threat of drought to the Panama Canal, which will likely disrupt international shipping and further strain regional economies. (7)Wright's Part Two runs tomorrow and takes its own tail in that day's sequence.

But not all who lived there ever truly left.Historian and storyteller Holt Saulsgiver takes listeners through the plantation's storied halls, where the echoes of the past linger like the scent of old wood and tobacco.

One quiet morning, a mother settled onto the couch with a cup of coffee while her children's play tent still sat in the living room from the weekend.A quick movement out of the corner of her eye made her think the family cat had wandered inside again. Instead, she found herself staring at a little boy sitting silently inside the tent. He looked completely real. He didn't speak, move, or fade away. He simply disappeared.Weeks later, a friend stopped by the house and watched someone walk into one of the children's bedrooms—even though the entire family was somewhere else.Were the two encounters connected, or had something been quietly sharing the house all along?#RealGhostStories #GhostStories #TrueGhostStories #Paranormal #ChildGhost #HauntedHouse #Apparition #Supernatural #Unexplained #CreepyStories #GhostBoyLove real ghost stories?

One quiet morning, a mother settled onto the couch with a cup of coffee while her children's play tent still sat in the living room from the weekend.A quick movement out of the corner of her eye made her think the family cat had wandered inside again. Instead, she found herself staring at a little boy sitting silently inside the tent. He looked completely real. He didn't speak, move, or fade away. He simply disappeared.Weeks later, a friend stopped by the house and watched someone walk into one of the children's bedrooms—even though the entire family was somewhere else.Were the two encounters connected, or had something been quietly sharing the house all along?#RealGhostStories #GhostStories #TrueGhostStories #Paranormal #ChildGhost #HauntedHouse #Apparition #Supernatural #Unexplained #CreepyStories #GhostBoyLove real ghost stories?

For years, the end of every shift looked the same.As employees headed home, the hotel's longtime security guard, Kenny, would be standing near the front entrance, keeping an eye on the parking lot before everyone drove away. It became such a familiar sight that no one ever thought twice about it.A few weeks after Kenny unexpectedly passed away, one employee finished a long Friday night, climbed into her car, and glanced back at the hotel.Kenny was standing exactly where he'd always stood. She smiled. She waved. Then, just a second later, she remembered there was no possible way it could have been him.Was it simply a familiar routine playing tricks on her mind... or did she really see Kenny one last time?#RealGhostStories #GhostStories #TrueGhostStories #HotelGhost #Paranormal #LifeAfterDeath #GuardianSpirit #HotelStories #Unexplained #Supernatural #Haunting #RealParanormal Love real ghost stories?

She was still a child when her family moved into their first house, and at first the strange things were easy to dismiss. Keys disappeared, she occasionally heard her mother calling when she hadn't, and her bedroom closet seemed to have a habit of opening or slamming shut on its own.Then one night, she woke to find a tall, thin figure standing beside her bed, silently looking down at her. She said little about it, especially because her mother made it clear that moving simply wasn't an option. But the activity wasn't limited to her bedroom.One evening, while the children were home without their parents, her younger brother suddenly came screaming down the hallway. When he finally described what had been standing in his room, she realized something terrifying.She had seen it too.#RealGhostStories #TrueGhostStories #GhostStory #Paranormal #HauntedHouse #ShadowFigure #GhostEncounter #ParanormalActivity #ChildhoodHaunting #Haunting Love real ghost stories?

She had grown up in a family where stories about spirits weren't considered particularly unusual, but living in her first apartment brought experiences of her own.It began with sounds coming from the kitchen. She would hear cabinets opening and closing even when no one appeared to be using them. Then her roommate began noticing something different.Late at night, she could hear footsteps outside her bedroom door. They didn't simply pass by once. They seemed to pace back and forth through the hallway, as though someone was wandering around just beyond the room.With both roommates hearing activity in different parts of the apartment, an unsettling question began to emerge. Were they simply dealing with the strange sounds of a building—or was someone else moving through their home after dark?#RealGhostStories #TrueGhostStories #GhostStory #Paranormal #HauntedApartment #GhostEncounter #UnexplainedFootsteps #ParanormalActivity #Haunting #UnexplainedLove real ghost stories?

The house was brand new, so strange noises were easy to dismiss at first.But one night, after waking to the sound of loud, steady breathing, a young boy assumed it was his little brother sleeping nearby. When he looked, the crib was empty. The breathing continued anyway.He searched every corner of the room until he realized the sound was coming from the foot of his bed. There was no one there.A week later, his parents woke to the exact same sound in their own bedroom. They searched the room just as he had, and the moment they announced that nothing was there...the breathing stopped.Whatever was making that sound has never been explained.#RealGhostStories #GhostStories #TrueGhostStories #Paranormal #HauntedHouse #Unexplained #Supernatural #ParanormalActivity #CreepyStories #GhostlyEncounters #HauntingsLove real ghost stories?

Operation Midnight Hammer through the eyes of the F-16 Wild Weasel fighter pilots who flew into Iran. Ghost" Trembly and "Cash" Croghan were the wing and squadron weapons officers for the 55th Fighter Squadron, the F-16 Wild Weasels who flew Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses ahead of the B-2 strike on Iran.

In this conversation, they explain why a fourth-generation fighter flew into Iran alongside the B-2s and F-35s, how the squadron reconfigured from the Yemen fight in a matter of hours, and why nobody in the squadron believed the mission was real until it was. Before Iran, the 55th Fighter Squadron fought over Yemen in Operation Rough Rider, a sustained air campaign against Houthi surface-to-air threats. What they learned there is the reason the F-16 Block 50 and the AGM-88 HARM were part of the strike package on June 21st, 2025. These interviews were recorded between December 2025 and January 2026 and preserve firsthand accounts from pilots, maintainers, intelligence officers, and logistics airmen who were there. 0:00 Preparing the Squadron for Deployment 5:16 New Equipment: AESA Radar and the F-16 Block 50 8:52 Operation Rough Rider: Counter-UAS Over Yemen 15:31 Mission Planning on a Folding Table 21:14 Five Days Out: Nobody Believed It Was Real 28:49 Reconfiguring the Jets From Rockets to HARMs 31:45 The Night "Glitch" Shot a SAM in 8 Seconds and saved "Cash" 41:21 Why the F-16 Was the Only Jet That Could Do It 46:38 The 15-Minute Brief Before Flying Into Iran 49:47 A 300 Mile Ingress Into Iranian Airspace 1:05:50 Is That a Missile Coming Off the Ground 1:12:41 How Tight the Fuel Really Was 1:20:40 Bunker Diving and Life on the Base Please leave us a review on Apple/Spotify Podcasts: Apple - https://apple.co/3dLradT Spotify - https://spoti.fi/3SAeSUr Afterburn Podcast Links: Website – https://www.theafterburnpodcast.com Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/theafterburnpodcast Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rainwaters27/?hl=en Have a story?

With a new album, Eventide, set for release soon, they're exploring the intersection of retro-futurism, storytelling, and immersive electronic music.In today's conversation, we'll dive into the creative process behind crafting synthwave, explore sound design, modular synthesis, and the art of building rich sonic landscapes. We'll also talk about what it takes to produce music as an independent artist, where inspiration comes from, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Eventide.Whether you're a musician, producer, synth enthusiast, or just curious about how electronic music comes to life, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.Links:https://www.instagram.com/deco.luxe.musichttps://open.spotify.com/artist/72aD0IzEMrVLikEYMepqam?si=zh_Jn7BFTfOXiofonENe9Q&utm_source=copy-linkTags:podcast for creatives,creative podcast,podcast creator interviews,professional podcast,creative podcasts,podcast host interviews,creative podcast ideas,Music,Musician,Music Producer,Music ProductionSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rssSubstackhttps://substack.com/@phantomelectricghost?utm_source=edit-profile-page

Risk, Rears, and ReverbMarv reunites with two old friends from the Nottinghamshire music scene — Dolby Atmos mixing engineer Kurt Martinez and music educator/dementia-charity worker Rob Huskinson — for a wide-ranging chat about immersive audio, career risk-taking, and what it actually means to teach music in 2026.Kurt walks through how he backed into podcast/audio-drama mixing via Audible's early Atmos launch, why documentaries and scripted drama get treated completely differently in the mix (stage-setting vs. free-roaming immersion), and the gunshot-and-bullet-trajectory example that shows just how precisely spatial audio storytelling can get. He also talks through mixing Kylie Minogue's latest album in Atmos — commuting with it on AirPods Max, checking it on a Sonos speaker while doing housework, and revisiting it recently on 7.1.4 headphones to see how it's held up.Rob brings the conversation into music education, talking about designing a curriculum that starts from what's relevant to students now rather than working backwards from music history, and his work with Open Door, a Nottinghamshire dementia day service, where he helps organise carer support events (money management, physiotherapy, nutrition) alongside the day-to-day group sessions. There's also a candid stretch on ADHD, time management, and the different but complementary ways Kurt and Rob each work in a studio.The three of them close on the value of informal networking ("smooshy events"), the risks each of them took to build a freelance/portfolio career, and what's next for each — including Season 2 of I Am Not Nicholas, out now.In this episode:How Kurt got into Dolby Atmos, from a Guinness cinema ad to mixing I Am Not Nicholas for BBC/AudibleThe difference between mixing music, scripted audio drama, and documentary in AtmosMixing Kylie Minogue's latest album in immersive audioBuilding a curriculum around student relevance vs. music historyOpen Door — a Nottinghamshire dementia day service, and Rob's work with carersADHD, time management, and studio workflowCareer risk-taking, freelancing, and the value of informal networkingWhat's next: I Am Not Nicholas S2, new Alfie Duke and Meek singles, The Script's new albumGuests:Kurt Martinez — Dolby Atmos mixing engineer (Audible, BBC, I Am Not Nicholas, Kylie Minogue) — find him on LinkedIn and InstagramRob Huskinson — music lecturer and grants/events lead for Open Door dementia day service — find him on LinkedIn

A three-year-old girl's imaginary friend turned out to be a real man – one who had been dead for fifteen years before she was born.BOOK: “They Told Me My Newborn Died – They Lied: A Global History of Stolen Babies” by Darren Marlar: https://amzn.to/45fNXptEPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/heidiwyrickREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/5a4fwj7tFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Deep in the Balsam Mountains of North Carolina, a shaggy eight-foot creature has been stealing gems and watching women bathe since the early 1900s — and the word used to name him came from a Lewis Carroll poem written the moment after a sleepless night at a dying man's bedside. (The Boojum) *** In 1980, a group of artists in Baltimore took out an ad in a major international magazine — not to sell anything, and not to promote a show. They were sending an invitation. The guests they were hoping to attract just hadn't been born yet. (Krononauts Party) *** A three-year-old girl in rural Georgia started playing with an imaginary friend — and then her family found out he was real, and had been dead for fifteen years. The question that nobody has been able to answer isn't whether she knew him. It's how.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: August 11, 2026Weird Darkness moves through three cases this episode: a decade-long haunting in rural Georgia that a university parapsychologist wired with scientific instruments, an eight-foot gem-hoarding creature that Appalachian locals have hunted for over a century, and a 1980 Baltimore art stunt that advertised a party for time travelers.It opens with the Wyrick haunting, which began in March of 1989 when three-year-old Heidi Wyrick walked in from the backyard of her family's new home on Swint Loop in Ellerslie, Georgia, and asked to keep swinging with an old man her mother couldn't see. The friend Heidi called Mr. Gordy matched James Gordy, a former caretaker of the property who had died in 1974, down to his silver hair, dark suit, and top hat; a second, wounded visitor she named Con matched Lon Batchelor, a man who lost his hand in a cotton gin accident and died in 1957. Before she could read, Heidi ran straight to Gordy's headstone in a cemetery of hundreds and later picked his face from a blind photo lineup. By 1993 the activity had turned violent, with a faceless dark figure, claw marks appearing on Heidi and her father Andy across consecutive nights, and a ribbon found wound around the throat of infant daughter Jordan, and the family brought in Dr. William Roll, a parapsychologist known from Unsolved Mysteries, who recorded an electromagnetic spike past 40 milligauss, elevated positive ions, and nearby seismic activity, then admitted he could not explain the scratches. Medium Amy Allan, later of The Dead Files, and a second psychic working separately placed the same entities in the same rooms, and the Wyricks finally left the house after Andy and Lisa found Heidi suspended upside down above her bed. The case appears in the Discovery Channel's 2002 film A Haunting in Georgia and the 2013 movie The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia, and in The Veil: The Heidi Wyrick Story, the firsthand account written by Heidi's aunt Joyce.From there the episode climbs into the Balsam Mountains of western North Carolina for the legend of the Boojum, a creature said to stand six to eight feet tall, covered in shaggy gray hair, with a disturbingly human face. According to Haywood County lore, the Boojum hoards the region's real gemstones – North Carolina is the only state that holds all four major precious gems, and the 1,869-carat uncut emerald pulled from the North American Emerald Mine in Hiddenite in 2003 is a matter of record – stashing them in moonshine jugs buried in hidden caves. The first written accounts cluster around the Eagle Nest Hotel, a forty-room hay-fever resort that opened on Eagle Nest Mountain in 1900 and burned in 1918, where guests were warned that the Boojum hid in the mountain laurel to watch women bathing in the forest pools. At the center of the legend is a woman named Annie, who chose to live with him as his wife and whose calls across the ridges are said, in local folk etymology, to have given the word "hootenanny" its name. The segment traces the creature's name back to Lewis Carroll's 1876 nonsense poem The Hunting of the Snark, sets the story against the Cherokee removal along the Trail of Tears and the eviction of Appalachian families to create Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and lands in present-day Waynesville, where Boojum Brewing carries the legend's name.The episode closes with the Krononauts, a group from Baltimore's avant-garde art scene who, in January of 1980, ran an advertisement on page 90 of Artforum magazine inviting time travelers to a party in Baltimore on March 9th, 1982, a date chosen because all nine planets would line up more closely than they had in nearly two hundred years, an alignment popularized by the 1974 book The Jupiter Effect. Hundreds of people came, the New York Times covered it and described the scene as an epidemic of temporary lunacy, and no one produced any evidence of time travel, since the organizers' real aim was the permanent paper trail, built on the logic that a documented invitation could be found and answered from any point in the future. The segment follows the same experiment forward through MIT graduate student Amal Dorai's 2005 Time Traveler Convention and physicist Stephen Hawking's 2009 reception at Gonville and Caius College in Cambridge, where Hawking mailed the invitations only after the party had ended and took the empty room as evidence for his chronology protection conjecture, and it ends with an original song, "Krononauts Party," by Dark Weirdness.LIKE WHAT YOU'RE HEARING?

When her family moved into the house, they had already heard that previous residents never seemed to stay very long. Someone even joked that the place might be haunted. Before long, the joke became harder to laugh off.Footsteps traveled through empty hallways. Faucets turned on in the middle of the night. Children's voices could be heard when everyone was asleep, and one bedroom developed such an unsettling reputation that eventually almost no one wanted to sleep there.As the activity grew stronger, so did the tension within the family, leaving them to wonder whether the two were somehow connected. But beneath the fear was something else—a powerful sense of sadness that seemed to linger in the house.What had happened there before they arrived, and why did one room seem to hold onto it more than anywhere else?#RealGhostStories #TrueGhostStories #GhostStory #Paranormal #HauntedHouse #ShadowPerson #GhostChildren #ParanormalActivity #GhostEncounter #Haunting Love real ghost stories?

The house was brand new, so strange noises were easy to dismiss at first.But one night, after waking to the sound of loud, steady breathing, a young boy assumed it was his little brother sleeping nearby. When he looked, the crib was empty. The breathing continued anyway.He searched every corner of the room until he realized the sound was coming from the foot of his bed. There was no one there.A week later, his parents woke to the exact same sound in their own bedroom. They searched the room just as he had, and the moment they announced that nothing was there...the breathing stopped.Whatever was making that sound has never been explained.#RealGhostStories #GhostStories #TrueGhostStories #Paranormal #HauntedHouse #Unexplained #Supernatural #ParanormalActivity #CreepyStories #GhostlyEncounters #HauntingsLove real ghost stories?

She was only a teenager when she began having dreams that felt unusually vivid, although at first she had no reason to believe they meant anything.Then something happened involving someone close to her, and parts of it seemed disturbingly familiar.Not long afterward, she experienced another moment that stopped her in her tracks. She had been going about an ordinary day when she suddenly realized she remembered what was happening—not from an earlier experience, but from a dream. After that, she began paying much closer attention to the dreams that stayed with her.Were they simply coincidences that felt more meaningful afterward, or was she occasionally seeing pieces of events before they happened? And if a dream really could offer a glimpse of what was coming, could knowing about it actually change anything?#RealGhostStories #Paranormal #Premonition #PrecognitiveDreams #Dreams #PsychicExperiences #Unexplained #DejaVu #ParanormalStories #DreamPremonition Love real ghost stories?
