I apologize for getting this week's “Thriller Thursday” posted on Friday! I thought I had plenty of time to narrate and produce this, but the more I got into it, the more elaborate it became and the time just got away from me. Hopefully it'll be worth your wait! – DarrenLeroy Johnston thought the worst part of his cruise would be the uncomfortable tuxedo on formal night — until a crimson storm hurled their ship into waters where the rules of reality no longer apply.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateComing up in this episode… it's #ThrillerThursday, with a tale by one of my favorite Creepypasta authors, Mark Lynch. It's entitled, “I am stranded on a desert island far from home. Please send help.” In the story, when Leroy Johnston embarks on what should be a routine ocean cruise, he's simply looking forward to a relaxing vacation and reconnecting with an old friend. But after a devastating storm strikes their ship, the passengers and crew find themselves completely cut off from the outside world, drifting in waters that seem to follow none of the familiar rules. As their situation grows increasingly desperate and the veneer of civilization begins to crack, Leroy must confront terrors beyond imagination while fighting to protect the woman he's just met and come to love. We're about to sail into some high seas horrors! ABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: If you came of age in Baltimore during the 50s and 60s, you probably heard the talk about Druid Ridge Cemetery's most famous grave marker. Just about everyone knew about “Black Aggie,” the statue of a draped, melancholy and mysterious woman seated at the Agnus family plot in the south-facing side of the cemetery in Pikesville. Word was that her stony eyes turned red at night. Sit on her lap at midnight and you would meet your own end within two weeks. Teens, often fueled by beer and bravado, travelled to Druid Ridge at night to test the rumor. It was terrifying, exhilarating and the stuff of Baltimore urban legends for years. By 1967, she was she had disappeared. We'll look at the legend of Black Aggie. (Black Aggie) *** The story of Morrow Road is one of Michigan's oldest and most enduring legends. There are many versions of the legend – but all of them contain two disturbing elements… a missing child, and a ghostly mother desperately looking for him. But the tragedy doesn't end there – as there have been some harrowing experiences for those who have gone searching for the spectral mother. (The Grieving Ghost of Morrow Road) *** Asylum 49, formerly the Tooele Hospital in Utah, is a place where the lines between the living and the dead blur in terrifying ways. Half abandoned medical facility turned haunted attraction, half functioning retirement home, this schizophrenic building is home to spectral nurses, mischievous child spirits, and a sinister man in black… and not just for Halloween – but all year round. The old hospital's haunted reputation has even drawn ghost hunters and mediums who claim it hides a portal to another dimension. (Asylum 49 – A Haunted Haunted Attraction) *** A family moves into a new home only to find they aren't alone. Items began disappearing, then reappearing later. The lights would turn on and off on their own. Typical poltergeist activity – but when they started to do renovations to the home, the paranormal activity escalated… and after some investigation, they found their ghost had a very sad story to tell.

Are John and Joyce Edmonds the unwitting guardians of a portal to another dimension? Is their story a descent into madness? Or are we all fascinated by what is just an elaborate hoax? (Interdimensional Intruders: The Mystery of Stardust Ranch) *** In the abandoned halls of Gartloch Hospital, a century-old psychiatric facility on the outskirts of Glasgow, two nurses recount chilling encounters with spectral figures from the past. From mysterious footsteps echoing in empty corridors to a ghostly matron disappearing through locked doors, their stories paint a picture of a hospital where the line between the living and the dead blurs. Do the spirits of Gartloch's past still roam its wards? (The Ghosts of Garloch) *** In 1954, a wave of panic swept through Washington state as thousands of motorists reported mysterious damage to their car windshields. What began as a local curiosity in Bellingham soon exploded into a statewide phenomenon, sparking wild theories ranging from cosmic rays to hatching sand fleas. But was this truly an epidemic of vandalism and unexplained phenomena, or a textbook case of mass delusion fueled by Cold War anxieties? (The Seattle Windshield Pitting Epidemic) *** In the depths of Switzerland's Lake Brienz, a drowned man's body was found astonishingly intact — despite having been dead for over 300 years. Preserved by the rare and eerie process of saponification, his remains were encased in a waxy substance formed from body fat under the right conditions. This eerie phenomenon transforms bodies into waxy time capsules, defying the natural process of decay. We'll look at the creepy but somehow natural reality of corpse wax. (Corpse Wax) *** For centuries, scholars and enthusiasts have speculated about hidden messages encoded within ancient texts, with recent claims suggesting that the Bible itself conceals secret prophecies waiting to be uncovered. From predicting historical events like World War II and the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin to foretelling the Oklahoma City bombing, proponents of the "Bible Code" believe these codes reveal divine insights. Are these hidden messages genuine revelations, or merely the result of overactive imaginations and random patterns?

The margins of sacred texts contain creatures that academic study rarely addresses—vampiric Estries who recover only through their victim's bread and salt, and demons born from unfinished divine work on the first Friday. These beings emerge from centuries of Jewish mysticism and folklore, where the line between protective magic and terrifying consequence grows dangerously thin.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: In a case that shocked Tehachapi, California, the murder of Robert Limon unraveled into a sordid tale of open marriage, religious awakening, and deadly betrayal. What began as a seemingly random killing at a railyard soon revealed a chilling conspiracy involving Robert, his wife Sabrina, and her firefighter lover Jonathan. It's a story of faith, infidelity, and fatal attraction. (The Deadly Trinity of Love, Faith, And Murder) *** In the heart of the Bolivian Amazon, paramedic Paul Parada's routine night shift takes an extraordinary turn when he treats an injured seven-foot-tall, pale-skinned stranger with telepathic abilities. What begins as an unusual medical emergency evolves into a close encounter of the third kind, complete with a hovering UFO and robotic alien companions. (The Medic And The Martian) *** In the early hours of a June morning in 2007, a routine newspaper delivery in Raleigh, North Carolina, stumbled upon a scene that would haunt the community for years to come. The brutal murder of Jennifer "Jenna" Nielsen, a pregnant 22-year-old mother of two, left investigators baffled and a family shattered. Since then, the trail of evidence has gone cold and a killer is still at large… and the quest for justice continues to go unfulfilled. (No Justice For Jenna) *** In the early 1900s, a charming Hungarian tinsmith named Bela Kiss concealed a horrifying secret behind his amiable facade. When authorities uncovered 24 pickled corpses in metal drums at his residence, they exposed a chilling tale of deception, murder, and possible vampirism that would haunt Hungary for decades. But the most terrifying aspect of Kiss's gruesome legacy may be that despite an intense manhunt, the "Vampire of Cinkota" vanished without a trace, leaving the world to wonder if he truly escaped justice or if his dark practices granted him an unnaturally long life. (A Different Vampire Named Bela) *** The world of Jewish folklore is chilling – with nightmarish creatures lurking in the shadows. From vampiric Estries and demonic Agrat bat Mahlat to the colossal Leviathan and the mysterious giants called Nephilim, Jewish teachings and beliefs are full of supernatural beings that have not been satisfied to only haunt the Torah… many have made their way into the world at large, invading our literature and even pop culture.

For nearly three centuries, the Jersey Devil has terrorized New Jersey's Pine Barrens with its glowing red eyes and leathery wings, but the monster's true origins lie not in supernatural birth, but in a 17th-century religious scandal. When Quaker settler Daniel Leeds was branded "Satan's harbinger" for publishing controversial almanacs, his family name became forever linked to the devil—transforming a community dispute into America's most enduring cryptid legend.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

The Jersey Devil, a creature of nightmares with leathery wings and glowing red eyes, was born from a curse in the 1700s and has endured ever since – with sightings still taking place. (From Leeds to Lore, The Jersey Devil) *** In the mid-1970s, a terrifying predator stalked the streets of Oakland County, Michigan, abducting and murdering four innocent children. For nearly half a century, the identity of the Oakland County Child Killer has eluded investigators, leaving a trail of anguish, conspiracy theories, and unanswered questions in its wake. It's a cold case that continues to haunt the community, as justice never came. (The Child Predator of Oakland County) *** The Sabretooth Clan… a group of modern-day vampires who blend seamlessly into society by day but embrace their nocturnal alter egos by night. With custom fangs, vintage attire, and a unique philosophy, these "lifestylers" host extravagant balls, perform rituals, and even have their own spiritual pantheon – all while maintaining a strict no-blood-drinking policy. What is it like to live as a vampire? (What Is It Like To Live As a Vampire?) *** In 1864 Canton, Ohio, a romance between German immigrant Ferdinand Hoffman and local girl Caroline Yost spiraled into a tale of deception, abuse, and ultimate tragedy. Their ill-fated union, marred by Hoffman's criminal past and violent tendencies, culminated in a shocking church stabbing and a dramatic manhunt. (The Canton Church Murder) *** From fiery pits to Satan's domain, our modern conception of hell is a tapestry woven from centuries of art, literature, and religious interpretation. But how much of what we believe about the underworld actually aligns with biblical teachings?

Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: It's #ThrillerThursday and this time I bring you a strange story from master storyteller, Ray Bradbury. The story is odd in the beginning and gets slowly darker as it progresses. Our protagonist, Mr. Harris, has slowly become more and more obsessed with his own skeleton – which he only sees as a symbol of death, as an enemy. He sees his skeleton not as a part of him, but as a separate entity continually working against him… eventually coming to believe his skeleton is trying to kill him. While it's obvious the man is quite mad, it's still an interesting journey as he plunges further down into his madness as the story moves forward.SOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Skeleton” by Ray Bradbury: https://amzn.to/3TY0esqWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. =====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Before the crown even touched his head, the dying had already begun. (The English Sweat) *** Long before the word “cryptid' was coined, people were already burying the victims of a thing in the woods that doesn't run, doesn't speak, and doesn't hesitate – it kills, and then it's gone. From the Rockies to the West African forests, the stories don't just describe sightings — they describe actual killings. (When Cryptid Creatures Turn Violent) *** Clinical death was once considered the end, but new data — and what the revived remember — suggest otherwise. Medical researchers studying patients who died and returned to life have documented consistent reports of consciousness surviving clinical death, with experiences that remarkably match biblical descriptions of the afterlife. (What Happens When We Die) *** Researchers studying ancient Middle Eastern texts about fire-based entities called Djinn now believe these beings might actually be plasma-based interdimensional creatures that have been masquerading as everything from UFOs to shadow people. (The Djinn and Aliens) *** Scientists have discovered that the cosmic objects we've been calling black holes might actually be tunnels to other parts of the universe, and we may have been watching doorways to distant worlds without realizing it. (Could Black Holes Be Hidden Doorways?) *** But first… medical examiners and coroners have witnessed some of the most unusual and shocking deaths imaginable, proving that truth can be far stranger than any horror story.

Her fellow hiker/hunter claimed Theresa was abducted by Sasquatch, but authorities suspected foul play. Decades later, Theresa remains missing. (She Was Kidnapped By Bigfoot) *** In the early 1980s, Australia became a hotspot for extraordinary UFO sightings and alien encounters, rivaling those reported in the United States and Europe. From mysterious orange orbs flying in formation to shape-shifting spacecraft and enigmatic beings, these lesser-known incidents suggest that the Land Down Under may hold a special significance for extraterrestrial visitors. Could Australia's unique geography and vast, uninhabited areas be the key to unlocking the secrets of an alien presence on Earth? (Outback Extraterrestrials) *** From 1953 to 1973, the CIA conducted a top-secret mind control program known as Project MKUltra, pushing the boundaries of ethics and legality in the name of national security. Using LSD, hypnosis, and even torture, the agency experimented on unwitting citizens and its own personnel, leaving a trail of controversy and damaged lives in its wake. Decades later, the full extent of MKUltra's operations remains shrouded in mystery, with only fragments of its dark history coming to light through declassified documents and survivor testimonies.
