It's the official day of romance (at least according to Hallmark Cards). Valentine's Day bring up feelings of love and adoration, moments of affection, gifts to show one's heartfelt emotions for another. But February 14th doesn't always bring the warm and fuzzies. Sometimes the day brings tragedy, heartbreak, or just something of the bizarre and strange.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:10.731 = A Freak Love Story00:11:12.851 = Ghost Love Stories ***00:27:41.588 = Bloody Story Behind Valentine's Day ***00:32:00.771 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakHELPFUL LINKS & RESOURCES…https://WeirdDarkness.com/STORE = Tees, Mugs, Socks, Hoodies, Totes, Hats, Kidswear & Morehttps://WeirdDarkness.com/HOPE = Hope For Depression or Thoughts of Self-Harmhttps://WeirdDarkness.com/NEWSLETTER = In-Depth Articles, Memes, Weird DarkNEWS, Videos & Morehttps://WeirdDarkness.com/AUDIOBOOKS = FREE Audiobooks Narrated By Darren Marlar SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“A Freak Love Story” by Rachel Souerbry for Ranker.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4kr4ep45“Ghost Love Stories” posted at NotebookOfGhosts.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/345vwf54, and BurroughsOfTheDead.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4hcjbps8“The Bloody Story Behind Valentine's Day” by Avani Raj for ED Times: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/c759fnnyWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Behind the grandeur of New Orleans' infamous LaLaurie Mansion lies a chilling legacy of cruelty, paranormal hauntings, and the lingering memory of Madame Delphine's horrific acts.IN THIS EPISODE: IN THIS EPISODE: We're all familiar with, thanks to Stephen Spielberg, the concept of a close encounter of the third kind. 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. So much so that even after leaving the mansion and it burning down, there are still terrors taking place there, thanks to Madame Delphine LaLaurie, the Monster of Royal Street.

HOUR 1 Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with intensity as John Rush is joined by Dr. Kelly Victory, an independent physician known for challenging mainstream medical narratives. Together, they tackle explosive questions about medical ethics, patient trust, and whether ideology is creeping into health care decisions. Can patients be treated differently based on political beliefs—and who holds providers accountable if that happens? The conversation pivots to a disturbing trend: the sharp rise in aggressive colon cancer among adults under 50. Why now? Dr. Kelly breaks down immune dysfunction, delayed screening guidelines, and why early detection may matter more than ever. They also examine vaccines through a strict risk-versus-benefit lens, questioning long-term effects, unresolved scientific gaps, and why so many questions were never answered before the mandates were rolled out. As the hour closes, the focus shifts to personal choice versus government control, including whether states should set their own vaccine rules—and what that could mean for families deciding where to live. Is the public finally asking the questions it should have asked years ago? HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason is a fast-moving, no-filter breakdown of viral memes, cultural flashpoints, and the history many headlines leave out. John takes on trending social media claims—from Super Bowl halftime outrage to religious and political memes—asking a simple question: do these slogans survive even basic fact-checking? Drawing on history, economics, and plain logic, Rush challenges comparisons to segregation, reframes the debate over free markets and choice, and explains why competition—not conformity—drives excellence. Listeners also weigh in, connecting today's talking points to the Civil Rights era, immigration policy, and modern definitions of “choice,” especially when government mandates force others to pay the bill. The hour presses on a recurring theme: are we debating facts anymore, or just narratives? If history, data, and personal responsibility matter, why do some arguments collapse the moment scrutiny is applied? This hour equips listeners with context, counterpoints, and questions the memes don't want you asking. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason moves fast and wide, with Jerzee Joe and Larry Burns joining John Rush for a conversation that blends humor, policy, and hard consequences. Jerzee Joe (https://www.jerzeejoe.com/) breaks down government programs that never seem to end, skewers media narratives, and challenges double standards on voter ID, gun ownership, taxes, and public safety. From Super Bowl “jock taxes” to states losing wealth and residents, the question keeps surfacing: when policies punish success, who actually stays? Larry Burns (https://www.powerthefuture.com/) then zeroes in on energy and regulation, explaining why rolling back sweeping EPA rules could lower costs, improve reliability, and reshape everything from cars to power plants. The hour closes by turning to artificial intelligence, where sudden breakthroughs raise urgent questions about jobs, productivity, and the massive energy demands ahead. Are we prepared for how fast things are changing—or are we still debating yesterday's rules?

Olympics, Lent, Friendships, Bad Bunny, and "THAT" meme by 2Pastors - Kate and Eulando

In 1920, a young man on a fishing trip in the Canadian wilderness stumbled upon an injured stranger trapped in a rocky crevice — and the "plane" parked nearby was no plane at all. What followed was a lifelong friendship that revealed humanity's ancient past and an alien perspective on where we're headed as a species.IN THIS EPISODE: We all love cute pet photos – so often those photos almost make our furry friends look human – even smiling in some cases. But one particular type photo being shared via email – a photo of a smiling dog – would never be described as cute, as it drives some people literally insane. Is it real, or just another cyber-located urban legend? (Smile.Dog) *** Being kidnapped by gypsies is a somewhat negative stereotype towards those who truly live the lifestyle. They don't typically go out of their way to snatch people away… but in one particular circumstance it truly did happen – and it created an incredibly strange tale. (Kidnapped By Gypsies) *** Albert Coe's story sounds more like a Stephen Spielberg film as opposed to a true story. But Coe insists it really did happen – that he saved the life of an extraterrestrial – and it resulted in them becoming lifelong friends. (I Saved E.T.'s Life) *** Pennhurst Asylum was shuttered in 1987 – but that doesn't mean there aren't any souls still living there.

Sea monster tales have existed for thousands of years, with stories of giant squids and octopuses being especially common. But where's the last place you'd expect to find such a creature? The desert of Oklahoma, perhaps?IN THIS EPISODE: Tales of sea monsters go back millennia, tales of giant squids and octopus are particularly prevalent. But where is the last place on earth you'd expect to find such a creature? How about the desert landscape of Oklahoma? (The Oklahoma Octopus) *** Parental hostility drove a girl out of her home and into the arms of her cousin. As I'm sure you can guess, that was not a wise decision. (Kissing Cousins) *** I'll read a short passage from G. Michael Vasey's book, “Chasing the Goddess”, a chapter called “Strange Things Happen To Me”. *** Margaret Allen was hanged to death. But it's the strange life she lived and the odd nature of her crime that still interests people in her case. (The Hanging of Margaret or Bill) *** 12-year-old Gabriel enjoyed playing games with an online friend. But when he borrowed less than two dollars for an in-game purchase from this friend, then ignored his requests to continue playing, he found himself dying the most horrifying murder you can imagine. And despite law enforcement knowing who the murderer is, he is free now – and no one knows where to find him. It is a brutally horrible story you do not want children in the room for. (A Deadly Gaming Friendship) *** Being the victim of a stalker is terrifying – not knowing when or where the person might show up next, or what they'll do to you when they do show up. But there are those who have an even more terrifying situation – where the stalker follows them their entire lives, and there's nothing they can do to stop it – because the stalker is paranormal. (Phantom Stalkers) *** The 1725 newspaper headline read “Bloodsucker Devastates Village!” And thus began a great vampire epidemic.

In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable podcast the guys recap the Super Bowl: Bad Bunny, bad football and the Turning Point USA Alternative show. They discuss the Truth Social posting of a meme that shows the Obamas as apes--why did this happen? Do we need to waste time talking about it? The guys take a look at Trump's allegedly falling poll ratings--are the numbers real? What are GOP odds for the midterms and can Trump hold onto both houses given recent runoff election results?

Plus, big cities going broke, a local teen killed by an illegal and it gets zero media coverage, truckers will now need to know English and be legal to drive, and more.

A laundry basket full of cash, a secret mob connection, and grandparents who may have been murdered by their own children — these are the secrets families never wanted anyone to find.IN THIS EPISODE: Haunted and spooky places are located all around the world, and Colorado is no exception. It's one high elevation state that offers some high paranormal activity (Ghosts of Colorado) *** People share some of the dark secrets they discovered about a family member after that person's death. (Death Revealed Their Secrets) *** The evil eye is a glance believed to have the ability to cause injury or death to those on whom it falls. It's told there was a woman in North Walsham who was so wise and powerful she could repel the evil eye! We'll also look at how to get rid of the evil eye if you have it – and how to avoid getting it in the first place! (The Wise Woman of North Walsham) ***They say it's actually safer to fly than to drive on our country's highways – and seeing how Chicagoans drive, I might tend to believe it. But when something goes wrong in your car, you don't plunge 30,000 feet to your demise. And while it may be safer than driving, there are still a lot of things that can not go as planned and leave you screaming towards your doom. (Scares in the Skies) *** Sightings of a strange flying creature have been reported in Maryland since back in the 1700s… but even stranger is the unfortunate name this creature has been tagged with. What the heck is a Snallygaster? (What The Heck Is a Snallygaster?) *** Of course, more can go wrong on a flight than just you dying – although that probably should be at the top of the list of things to avoid when traveling by air.

In this no-holds-barred segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards teams up with Andrew Gasser for a deep dive into America's cultural rifts exposed by the Super Bowl. They break down the battling halftime shows—Bad Bunny's divisive spectacle versus Turning Point USA's patriotic counterpunch—and how the NFL's global push is alienating fans while shoving agendas down throats. The duo tackles real distractions like Epstein files, massive fraud schemes in states like Minnesota, and the quiet offloading of U.S. weapons abroad. Plus, they unpack the viral "monkey meme" frenzy tied to Trump, calling out faux outrage, media manipulation, and Never-Trumpers using it for cover. Raw takes on division, purity tests, and fighting for America's soul—unfiltered and unapologetic.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 8, 2026 is: meme • MEEM • noun Meme is used popularly to refer to an amusing or interesting picture, video, etc. that is spread widely online. It can also refer to an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture. // Though the two friends now live on opposite coasts, they still keep in touch constantly, texting and sending their favorite funny cat memes back and forth. See the entry > Examples: “Shane Hinton, a meteorologist for CBS News Miami, posted a Facebook meme earlier this week that showed a 70-degree spread between Miami's near record 85 and Minneapolis' 15.” — Howard Cohen, The Miami Herald, 5 Dec. 2025 Did you know? In his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, British scientist Richard Dawkins defended his newly coined word meme, which he defined as “a unit of cultural transmission.” Having first considered, then rejected, mimeme, he wrote: “Mimeme comes from a suitable Greek root, but I want a monosyllable that sounds a bit like gene.” (The suitable Greek root was mim-, meaning “mime” or “mimic.” The English suffix -eme indicates a distinctive unit of language structure, as in grapheme, lexeme, and phoneme.) Like any good meme, meme caught on and evolved, eventually developing the meaning known to anyone who spends time online, where it's most often used to refer to any one of those silly captioned photos that the Internet can't seem to get enough of.

For years, each new racial controversy surrounding Donald Trump has been met with the same refrain: “This is not who we are as Americans.” But what if that reassurance is the real illusion? This video confronts the uncomfortable truth behind Trump's latest racist controversy—his reposting of a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes—and situates it within a lifelong pattern of racial grievance, dehumanization, and political reward. Far from an isolated lapse, the incident exposes how racism is routinely minimized, deflected, or absorbed by American political institutions until accountability disappears. Trump didn't invent racism in American politics—he stripped away the euphemisms. His success raises a harder question than his intent: why has this worked, repeatedly, with so few lasting consequences? If America wants to claim this is not who it is, the claim has to be proven—through action, not repetition. Independent media has never been more important.
