A lonely Massachusetts crossroads has been claiming the lives of lawmen for over two hundred years—each one stabbed in the back in a spot so open no killer could possibly reach him, while the only sound in the dark is a woman's cold laughter.Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Marshall introduces wealthy executive Robert Bayswell, a man whose endless "business trips" to New York have quietly covered a five-year affair with his mistress, Lolly "Dolores" Harbison. When Bayswell decides to end the relationship and return to his wife Martha, a struggle over a loaded .38 revolver sets a chain of events in motion — one that draws in nightclub photographer Julie Palmer and homicide detective Sergeant DeLuca, both circling a death no one can quite explain.2000 Plus delivers the science-gone-wrong terror of "The Giant Walks," in which the obsessed Dr. Ellsworth, having used a pituitary revitalizer to breed giant rats four feet long, sets his sights on the next logical subject — a human being. His powerfully built test subject Barstow is grown to thirty feet of muscle and bone, while uneasy assistant Weston watches the experiment spiral past anything Ellsworth can hope to control.The Unexpected stars radio's Lurene Tuttle in "Nightmare," the tale of understudy actress Jenny, who answers her door to a hideous, dwarf-like old peddler selling two dolls — one that cries and one that laughs. Against the peddler's strange warning, she chooses the laughing doll, and its contagious, mocking laughter begins to follow her everywhere she goes, into the theater, the subway, and her sleepless nights.Unsolved Mysteries presents a true-style ghost story told by foreign correspondent Jackson, who recalls a visit to a centuries-old medieval castle in Northumberland, England, complete with drawbridge, moat, and turrets — and its resident phantom, the Lady Evelyn, said to warn the family of any impending disaster. Sleeping in the haunted wing, Jackson is roused by a figure who writes a message in letters of fire across the stone wall, a warning tied to the RMS Titanic.Dark Venture stars William Conrad in "Hideout," the confession of small-time gambler Sam, who sits in on one of Phil Collins's famous high-stakes poker games, wins and loses a fortune, and ends the night shooting political big shot Mike Barnes. Fleeing to Chicago and a rooming house run by Dave Jordan, Sam stumbles into a carnival fortune teller, Madame Zara, who reads the cards and tells him he will die within three days at the hands of a man with white hair — just as hired killer Whitey Burke begins closing in.The Weird Circle summons its bellkeeper for the immortal Robert Louis Stevenson tale "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," in which Dr. Henry Jekyll brews a potion meant to separate the good and evil halves of a single man. The draught gives life to the stooped, deformed, and wholly malevolent Edward Hyde, who terrorizes the streets of London while lawyer Mr. Utterson, Dr. Lanyon, and the faithful butler Poole try to understand what their friend has unleashed.The Whistler brings the Signal-sponsored noir "Danger Is a Beautiful Blonde," as bored construction engineer Van Stevens, killing time in a small coast city on a Saturday night, is picked up on the street by a beautiful young blonde in a slick convertible. She drives him to a seaside mansion full of priceless art, and the flirtation turns to ice the moment she asks him to look under her bed — where a dead man lies hidden.Strange Wills stars distinguished Hollywood actor Warren William as attorney John Francis O'Connell in "Madman's Diary," a probate-court reading of the last testament of the late Professor Lucifer Nicolai. The diary records the professor's decade-long obsession: an electromagnetic experiment to separate the human mind from the body and hurl it backward along light waves into the past. His subject, a young orphan named Alice, is sent first to the age of King Arthur and Guinevere, then far deeper — a quarter-million years before Christ.The Witch's Tale, narrated by 122-year-old Nancy, the Witch of Salem, and her wise black cat Satan, tells "The Haunted Crossroads," where state troopers keep dying at a barren Massachusetts intersection — each one stabbed in the back in a spot so open no killer could possibly reach him and flee unseen. After young Trooper Tom Fallon falls beside his uncle Sergeant Pat McGee and friend Gene Hardy, the only clue is a woman's cold laughter in the dark and a curse reaching back to 1721 and a hanged woman named Goody Fairfax.X Minus One, hosted by Isaac Asimov, presents "Hostess," the story of biologist Rose Smollett, who brings home a guest from another world — the Hawkinsite physician Dr. Harg Tolan, a six-limbed being who breathes cyanide from a cylinder at his mouth. Tolan has come to Earth to study the dreaded "inhibition death," the wasting illness that kills his people, and his quiet questions about the missing persons bureau begin to unsettle Rose's policeman husband, Drake.Masters of Mystery offers the island thriller "Four Fatal Jugglers," in which business partners Gordon Penrose and Dave Copeland — tangled together by Gordon's wife Lydia and her demands for a divorce — head off for a weekend of duck hunting on a tiny, isolated island in the middle of a lake. Lydia's protective brother Bob is drawn in too, and with old grudges, suspicions of murder-by-hunting-accident, and a hunting knife in play, the trip becomes a deadly game of who can be trusted.Strange Adventure closes the night with a desert tale of two weather-beaten prospectors, gangling Slim Sandstone and his stocky partner Geordie Gaines, who walk into the bank of George Alden and deposit a canvas sack half-filled with uncut diamonds. Their secret field out on the desert is rich beyond belief, and the greedy banker schemes to maneuver the pair out of their claim — never suspecting what a salted diamond strike can teach a smart financial tycoon.

Avec Antho, Karim et Teddy !Et si l'un des symboles les plus célèbres de la piraterie n'était en réalité qu'une invention littéraire ?Dans ce Postillon du Vendredi, on s'attaque à deux mystères de culture générale aussi inutiles qu'indispensables. D'un côté, une plongée dans l'univers des pirates et de L'Île au trésor de Robert Louis Stevenson, un roman qui a profondément façonné l'image que nous avons encore aujourd'hui de la piraterie. De l'autre, une découverte surprenante sur un symbole mathématique que tout le monde connaît... sans savoir comment il s'appelle.Enjoy^^Marcus

Jim Hawkins successfully kills Israel Hands in self-defense, frees the Hispaniola, and steers her away from the pirates.He then hikes back to the stockade at night. Thinking it belongs to his friends, he sneaks in quietly to go to sleep. He steps on a sleeping man's leg, and Long John Silver's pet parrot, Captain Flint, gives him away. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911430/episodes/19360702I hope you have been enjoying these episodes as much as I enjoy bringing them to you. Reviews and shares make a huge difference.

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars,” Oscar Wilde wrote in his 1892 play Lady Windermere's Fan. This week, Elon Musk managed — not for the first time — to be simultaneously in the stars and the gutter. SpaceX's IPO valued his rocket company at $2 trillion — making Musk, officially, a trillionaire, the richest person in the world by a very large margin. The space Musk — the defiant genius who bet everything on a reusable rocket and the promise of a cosmic monopoly — is astonishing. The Wall Street Journal called the IPO a Goldilocks debut with Musk starring as the three bears. But there is another Musk — the one in the gutter, promoting white nationalist violence from his platform on X. This week Musk not only stoked the anti-immigrant riots in Belfast but reiterated his support for the English white supremacist gangster Tommy Robinson. So is this another Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella? Keith Teare, publisher of That Was the Week, certainly thinks so. While Keith is in awe of Musk's entrepreneurial genius at SpaceX, he seems to excuse Musk's support for Tommy Robinson's paramilitarism. “I'm not even sure I like him,” Keith confesses in his musings on “civilisation.” Nor do the rest of us. But I wonder if this good/bad Elon narrative is too convenient. There is an uncomfortable symbiosis between Musk's journey to SpaceX and to white nationalist violence. For all the utopian cornucopia of space, our earthly reality is one of scarce land and fear of immigrants — Trump, Tommy Robinson, and this weekend's Swiss referendum on capping its population at 10 million. For all the Muskian promise of cosmic abundance, today's Muskian politics is paranoid and exclusionary. So maybe it's not just Elon. Everyone these days is simultaneously in the gutter and looking up at the stars. Five Takeaways •       SpaceX: From El Segundo Warehouse to $2 Trillion Juggernaut: SpaceX is 25 years old. It started in a warehouse near Los Angeles, in an area with a concentration of rocket scientists. Musk bet almost all of his Tesla gains on the idea of a reusable rocket — and nearly lost everything. Then a rocket worked. Since then: iterative improvement, the rockets getting bigger and more reliable, a virtual global monopoly on delivering payloads to space, Starlink (satellite internet that actually works at gigabit speeds), and NASA subcontracting its launches. Now: $2 trillion at IPO, Musk a trillionaire. Wall-to-wall applause from the startup world. Wall-to-wall pylon on social media. Both simultaneously true. •       The Grimace vs the Applause: Andrew vs Keith's Media Diet: Keith says most commentators are grimacing at the valuation and Musk's net worth. Andrew says the serious press — the Wall Street Journal, even the New York Times — is largely applauding. The exchange reveals the media bifurcation: mainstream outlets cover the achievement; social media — X, Facebook, LinkedIn — is wall-to-wall outrage about a trillionaire in a world of growing inequality. Keith's verdict on Musk: he doesn't care whether people like him. Neither, in Keith's view, should we. You judge him not on likability but on criteria: civilization or net worth. Different criteria, different judgment. •       California and Europe: The Failure of Government: Fareed Zakaria in the Washington Post: California is a case study in failed government. Andrew had Jonathan Weber on the show this week — City on the Edge, the historic dysfunctionality of San Francisco city government. Fukuyama is trying to be optimistic about Europe's liberal future. Keith's counter: Fukuyama ignores the structural problem — top-heavy EU bureaucracy that overrides countries, producing dislike of the EU in every European nation, even France, which built it. Populism, Keith argues, is not the disease. It's the symptom. The disease is twenty years of bad policy. •       Bernie Sanders Finally Had an Insight: The Sovereign Wealth Fund: Sanders has proposed a sovereign wealth fund owning 50% of all high-growth AI companies, giving every citizen ownership shares. Keith, who last week said 50% wasn't enough, this week credits it as the first genuine insight Sanders has had. The kicker: David Sacks — arch right-winger, former PayPal Mafia, Andreessen Horowitz — agreed on his podcast and said it should be 75%. Keith's observation: when David Sacks and Bernie Sanders can agree on the direction, left-right labels stop helping. The question is just how to make capitalism's gains flow to everyone. •       Planning Beats Complaint: Keith's editorial closer. The choice is not between liking Musk and hating Musk, not between celebrating SpaceX and resenting its valuation. The choice is between complaining and planning. John O'Farrell, former general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, resigned and wrote an op-ed in the New York Times: “We can't let my former venture capital colleagues buy off democracy.” Gary Tan organised an Asian-American reaction against San Francisco's school board and won. Citizens who act beat citizens who complain. That's the week's lesson. That's Keith's lesson. Andrew is away next week. About the Guest Keith Teare is a British-American entrepreneur, investor, and publisher of the That Was the Week newsletter. He is a co-founder of TechCrunch and Andrew's regular TWTW co-host. References: •       That Was the Week by Keith Teare. •       Fareed Zakaria, “How California Became a Case Study in Failed Government,” Washington Post — referenced in the conversation. •       John O'Farrell, “We Can't Let My Former Venture Capital Colleagues Buy Off Democracy,” New York Times — referenced in the conversation. •       Francis Fukuyama on the liberal vision of Europe — referenced in the conversation. •       Episode 2938: Jonathan Weber on City on the Edge — referenced at the opening. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic. With nearly 2,900 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting. WebsiteSubstackYouTubeApple PodcastsSpotify Chapters: (00:31) - Introduction: SpaceX IPO, ...

Treasure Island, Kidnapped, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and his wonderful short stories like Markheim, The Body Snatcher, and The Bottle Imp to name a few.  Today we begin an episodic journey through the novel Catriona, published as David Balfour in the US. Though the name looks to be spelled Catriona, apparently it's correctly pronounced as Katrina. So that's what we'll do.   This second volume of David Balfour's story is less a straightforward adventure story, and is more of a novel of manners with some adventure sprinkled in. To me it feels like a natural progression as the youth gets older, has more responsibility, and learns to make his way in the wider world of Scottish traditions.     And now, David Balfour, Part 1 of 9, by Robert Louis Stevenson   Follow this link to get The Audiobook Library Card for a special price of $9.99/month   Follow this link and get Multiple Licenses for The Audiobook Library Card   Follow this link and watch the new video walkthrough using PocketBook.       Follow this link to subscribe to our YouTube Channel:       Follow this link to subscribe to the Arsène Lupin Podcast:     Follow this link to follow us on Instagram:     Follow this link to follow us on Facebook:

This summer, I thought of something a little different. Robert Louis Stevenson, my gateway drug to the classics, wrote a sequel to Kidnapped that is quite good, but not as well known. I've been wanting to do it for some time, but the time didn't seem right. This summer I think we'll give it a go.   So that you all can refresh yourselves on David Balfour's story, I'm planning a few more robust vintage episodes during the next few weeks, where we'll hear the entire novel of Kidnapped in three episodes.   Now, here's the thing – this is like, one of the first audiobooks I've ever recorded. So while it still gets a fair rating on Audible, you'll hear that I'm still getting my sea legs. Kidnapped has never appeared on The Classic Tales Podcast and has only been available in our retail outlets.   And if you've never heard it before, you're in for a real treat.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “One's own self is well hidden from one's own self.”~Friedrich Nietzsche  “Man is not truly one, but truly two.” “I knew myself, at the first breath of this new life, to be more wicked, tenfold more wicked, sold a space to my original evil; and the thought in that moment, braced and delighted me like wine.”~Robert Louis Stevenson, The Strange Case of Dr. Kekyl and Mr. Hyde “All of life is a battle between two selves. But there is a different war before you become a Christian and from the war that happens after you become a Christian. There's a war between the selves before you meet Christ and there's a different war between the selves after you meet Christ. The war before is without hope, but the war after, you cannot lose!” ~Tim Keller  “One must be joined to Christ for salvation, not simply follow the law. The law shows how sinful people are, but only Christ can save by His perfect life and His perfect righteousness.” ~Martin Lloyd-Jones “It is when I turn to Christ, when I give myself up to His Personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.”~C.S. LewisSERMON PASSAGERomans 7:1-13 (ESV) 1 Since I am speaking to those who know the law, brothers and sisters, don't you know that the law rules over someone as long as he lives? 2 For example, a married woman is legally bound to her husband while he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law regarding the husband. 3 So then, if she is married to another man while her husband is living, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law. Then, if she is married to another man, she is not an adulteress. 4 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you also were put to death in relation to the law through the body of Christ so that you may belong to another. You belong to him who was raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions aroused through the law were working in us to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we have been released from the law, since we have died to what held us, so that we may serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the old letter of the law. 7 What should we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! But I would not have known sin if it were not for the law. For example, I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, “Do not covet.” 8 And sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind. For apart from the law sin is dead. 9 Once I was alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life again 10 and I died. The commandment that was meant for life resulted in death for me. 11 For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good. 13 Therefore, did what is good become death to me? Absolutely not! But sin, in order to be recognized as sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment, sin might become sinful beyond measure.

SF Kritik: "Luna inconita" von Axel Kruse - besprochen von Udo Klotz(Hördauer 05 Min.)Die Schatzinsel von Robert Louis Stevenson, wer kennt sie nicht? Hier kommt sie in neuem Gewand. Die faschistische Erdregierung wurde von den Aliens in die Knie gezwungen. In der Ideologie der Verlierer fühlt sich Jim Hawkins sichtlich wohl. Für ihn sind die Aliens an allem schuld: Am verlorenen Krieg sowieso, an der Arbeitslosigkeit, der wirtschaftlichen Misere und überhaupt … Er ist zwar noch nie einem Alien persönlich begegnet, aber seine Meinung steht unverrückbar – oder doch nicht? Denn dann erlebt er ein Abenteuer, das seine Einstellung hart auf die Probe stellt, und nach und nach kommen die Selbstzweifel, die sein Weltbild infrage stellen.Udo Klotz organisiert seit rund dreißig Jahren die Wahl und die Verleihung des Kurd Laßwitz Preises, kurz KLP genannt, einem der wichtigsten Literaturpreise auf dem Gebiet der phantastischen Literatur in Deutschland. Im Gespräch erzählt er, wie die Nominierungen zustande kommen, wer zur Wahl berechtigt ist und wie und wo die Verleihungen stattfinden.Außerdem ist Udo Klotz gemeinsam mit Christian Hoffmann Herausgeber des Magazins !TIME MACHINE, das mit bisher sechs Ausgaben beim Wurdack Verlag erscheint und sich vor allem an SF-Fans wendet, die sich nicht nur für Neuerscheinungen interessieren, sondern auch für die Geschichte des Genres. Münchner PhantastenWenn dich diese Sendung interessiert hat, dann schau doch auch mal hierhttps://literaturradiohoerbahn.com/kalt-wie-die-luft-von-orjan-n-karlsson-rezension-von-constanze-matthes/ Tontechnik und Realisation: Uwe Kullnick

Mitten im Pazifik, rund 550 Kilometer vor der Küste Costa Ricas, liegt eine Insel, die kaum jemand je betreten hat – und die dennoch die Phantasie von Menschen auf der ganzen Welt beflügelt. Cocos Island: dicht bewaldet, von Wasserfällen durchzogen, von tosender Brandung umgeben. Und angeblich voller Schätze. War es diese Insel, die Robert Louis Stevenson als Vorlage für seine „Schatzinsel“ diente? Was steckt hinter den Legenden von vergrabenem Piratensilber? Und was trieb den deutschen Abenteurer August Gissler Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts dazu, ausgerechnet hier eine Kolonie zu gründen? Wir haben uns die Geschichte von Cocos Island genauer angesehen – von Piratenmythen und Stevenson über Gisslers gescheitertes Kolonieexperiment bis hin zu einem der bestgeschützten Meeresschutzgebiete der Welt. 24.06.2026 Online-Vortrag bei der VHS Hannover „Scrollen, Swipen, Sorgen: Soll der Staat Kinder vor Social Media schützen?“ zur kostenfreien Anmeldung Wie man uns unterstützen kann, könnt ihr hier nachlesen.

Full Text of Readings Sixth Sunday of Easter Lectionary: 55 The Saint of the day is Saint Damien de Veuster of Moloka'i Saint Damien de Veuster of Moloka'i's Story When Joseph de Veuster was born in Tremelo, Belgium, in 1840, few people in Europe had any firsthand knowledge of leprosy, Hansen's disease. By the time he died at the age of 49, people all over the world knew about this disease because of him. They knew that human compassion could soften the ravages of this disease. Forced to quit school at age 13 to work on the family farm, Joseph entered the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary six years later, taking the name of a fourth-century physician and martyr. When his brother Pamphile, a priest in the same congregation, fell ill and was unable to go to the Hawaiian Islands as assigned, Damien quickly volunteered in his place. In May 1864, two months after arriving in his new mission, Damien was ordained a priest in Honolulu and assigned to the island of Hawaii. In 1873, he went to the Hawaiian government's leper colony on the island of Moloka'i, set up seven years earlier. Part of a team of four chaplains taking that assignment for three months each year, Damien soon volunteered to remain permanently, caring for the people's physical, medical, and spiritual needs. In time, he became their most effective advocate to obtain promised government support. Soon the settlement had new houses and a new church, school and orphanage. Morale improved considerably. A few years later, he succeeded in getting the Franciscan Sisters of Syracuse, led by Mother Marianne Cope, to help staff this colony in Kalaupapa. Saint Damien contracted Hansen's disease and died of its complications. As requested, he was buried in Kalaupapa, but in 1936 the Belgian government succeeded in having his body moved to Belgium. Part of Damien's body was returned to his beloved Hawaiian brothers and sisters after his beatification in 1995. When Hawaii became a state in 1959, it selected Damien of Moloka'i as one of its two representatives in the Statuary Hall at the US Capitol. Damien was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on October 11, 2009. Reflection Some people thought Saint Damien was a hero for going to Moloka'i and others thought he was crazy. When a Protestant clergyman wrote that Damien was guilty of immoral behavior, Robert Louis Stevenson vigorously defended him in an “Open Letter to Dr. Hyde.”Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Hoi Mitenand!Willkommen zu einer neuen Folge des Schweizerdeutsch Hörbuchs!

IX En este episodio de LLDLL, nos adentramos en uno de los territorios más inquietantes y desconocidos de la mente humana: los sueños. La Frontera con lo Imposible. Este programa reúne experiencias reales que desafían la lógica, relatos que se mueven entre la psicología, el misterio y lo paranormal, y una pregunta constante que nos acompaña durante todo el viaje: ¿son los sueños simples construcciones del cerebro o pueden ser una puerta hacia algo más? A lo largo del episodio, escuchamos testimonios impactantes enviados por oyentes que han vivido experiencias oníricas difíciles de explicar. Historias como la de Beltrán, quien desde niño sufrió pesadillas recurrentes hasta que un día decidió enfrentarse a ellas dentro del propio sueño, descubriendo así el fenómeno del sueño lúcido y el control consciente del mundo onírico. O el caso de Antonio, que vuelve a compartir una vivencia profundamente personal donde el sueño se convierte en un espacio de conexión con lo inexplicable. También conocemos el relato de María, quien asegura haber recibido visitas de familiares fallecidos en sueños, aportando datos concretos, mensajes y detalles imposibles de atribuir al azar. El programa se enriquece además con colaboraciones y referencias dentro del mundo del misterio, como el podcast La Gata Cristy de Lola Velasco. Pero este viaje no se limita a experiencias personales. También exploramos algunos de los sueños más influyentes de la historia, aquellos que cambiaron la ciencia, la literatura y la música. Desde Dmitri Mendeléyev, quien soñó la estructura de la tabla periódica, hasta Elias Howe, cuya pesadilla le dio la clave para inventar la máquina de coser. Pasamos por James Watson y Francis Crick, vinculados a la visualización de la doble hélice del ADN, y por August Kekulé, quien descubrió la estructura del benceno tras soñar con una serpiente que se mordía la cola. La literatura también nace del mundo onírico con Robert Louis Stevenson, que concibió El extraño caso del doctor Jekyll y Mr Hyde tras una pesadilla, y Mary Shelley, quien imaginó Frankenstein en un sueño que la aterrorizó profundamente. En la música, encontramos el caso de Giuseppe Tartini y su Trino del Diablo, inspirado por un sueño en el que el propio demonio tocaba el violín, y el de Paul McCartney, quien soñó la melodía de Yesterday en 1963 y más tarde la frase que daría origen a Let It Be, vinculada a la aparición de su madre fallecida, Mary. Sin embargo, uno de los bloques más perturbadores del episodio nos traslada a un caso real que dejó desconcertada a la ciencia en los años 80: el fenómeno vivido por la etnia Hmong. Tras huir de Laos durante la Guerra de Vietnam, especialmente tras la retirada de Estados Unidos en 1975, muchos refugiados comenzaron a morir de forma inexplicable mientras dormían en países como Estados Unidos, en lugares como Minnesota, Wisconsin o California. Este fenómeno, conocido médicamente como SUNDS (Síndrome de Muerte Súbita Nocturna Inexplicable), fue interpretado por los Hmong como el ataque de una entidad llamada Dab Tsog, un espíritu que se posa sobre el pecho durante el sueño, provocando parálisis, terror extremo y, en algunos casos, la muerte. Estos sucesos no solo marcaron a la comunidad, sino que también inspiraron a Wes Craven tras leer casos reales en el Los Angeles Times, dando origen a uno de los iconos del terror moderno: Freddy Krueger y la saga Pesadilla en Elm Street. Un ejemplo más de cómo el miedo que habita en los sueños puede trascender hasta la cultura popular. A lo largo de este episodio, se plantea un equilibrio constante entre la explicación científica, que interpreta los sueños como procesos neurológicos relacionados con la memoria, el trauma o el deseo y la experiencia subjetiva de quienes aseguran haber vivido algo mucho más profundo. ¿Puede una creencia provocar una reacción física capaz de detener el corazón? ¿Son los sueños una vía de comunicación con lo que ya no está? ¿O simplemente una forma en la que el cerebro procesa la realidad? Sueños de los Oyentes es un programa sobre sueños lúcidos, sueños premonitorios, parálisis del sueño, experiencias paranormales, mensajes del más allá y relatos reales que exploran los límites entre la mente y lo desconocido. Un episodio pensado para quienes buscan historias de misterio, casos reales, fenómenos inexplicables y ese punto en el que la ciencia ya no tiene todas las respuestas. Esta noche, cuando cierres los ojos, recuerda: tal vez no todo lo que sueñas es solo un sueño. Escúchame en iVoox. Suscríbete en tu plataforma preferida.

In this episode, “The Invisible Dan” and “Monster Mike” finally dive into their first genuine adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic gothic novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and boy, it's a doozy! Join them as they discuss Paul Massie's unique dual role as the homely Dr. Jekyll and the handsome Mr. Hyde, the return of horror icon Christopher Lee in a non-monster role, plus another big screen icon making his first Hammer appearance, Hammer's trademark use of bold colors, what constitutes a monster movie, and why The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll is far and away the most salacious film they've discussed so far!

It's Hammer Time once again on WTH, and it's the turn of 1971's “Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde”. A film in which we learn that two's company, three's a positive deviation; that Burke and Hare were time travellers; and that an alias inspired by a newspaper headline isn't always the best idea (just ask Mrs Freddie Starr Ate My Hamster). A title that began as a joke has probably not helped the reputation of this late period Hammer movie, with many dismissing it as an unnecessary watch from a studio long past its prime. But this is a mistake, from the combo of stalwart director Roy Ward Baker and Avengers writer Brian Clemens comes an interesting and vibrant film, that feels more modern than a lot of its stablemates, with bags of atmosphere, a line of still effective gore, some lovely directorial flourishes, and a blackly comic streak in both its characters and dialogue. Ralph Bates and Martine Beswick are a brilliant paring as the two aspects of our protagonist, ably supported by a strong cast, notably Gerald Simm's disreputable Professor and Philip Madoc's lugubrious mortuary attendant. Whilst “Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde” ultimately fails to adequately explore the concept at its heart, it is certainly the most entertaining of the studio's few attempts to adapt Robert Louis Stevenson's classic, and another example of the less well-known Hammer Films being surprising gems that deserve a much greater appreciation.

This week on the Scary Spirits Podcast, we draw back the velvet curtain to commemorate the U.S. release anniversary of Hammer Horror's 1971 classic, Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde, released on April 15th. With scholarly precision and a suitably macabre twinkle, hosts Karen and Greg examine the film's daring reimagining of Robert Louis Stevenson's tale—where science, repression, and identity intertwine in true Hammer fashion. Expect thoughtful discussion of the film's performances, atmosphere, gender-bending shock, and its enduring place in the golden age of British horror cinema. Naturally, such an elegant descent into madness demands refreshment. As the clock strikes midnight, our hosts raise a glass to the good doctor with a themed Brandy Old Fashioned cocktail, rich, refined, and just a touch dangerous—much like the film itself. If you are a devotee of Hammer Horror films, classic 1970s horror cinema, or simply relish intelligent conversation steeped in Gothic charm, then join us… because some experiments are far too fascinating to resist. Listen now to Scary Spirits Podcast — where classic horror meets wickedly good spirits. Brandy Old Fashioned • 2 oz brandy• 1/2 oz simple syrup• 3 dashes aromatic bitters• 2 dashes orange bitters• Garnish: orange peel and brandied cherry Instructions: Add brandy, simple syrup, aromatic bitters, and orange bitters to a glass with ice and stir until well chilled.

Source: ohlq.com A Brief Synopsis: Blackly comic variation on the classic tale, in which the good doctor, experimenting with ways to prolong life, tests the formula on himself and metamorphoses into a beautiful woman. His alter ego turns out to have a very nasty streak, killing prostitutes who, terrified of Jack the Ripper, believe they have nothing to fear from a woman. Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include: We learn about the original novella by Robert Louis Stevenson that inspired the film. The history of the White Chapel murders is discussed. Dr. Karen tells us all about the use of Lime in mass burials. Karen gives us stats about the murder rate of men.

Robert Louis Stevenson was a Scottish writer famous for adventure stories like Treasure Island and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. As a child, he loved imagination and storytelling, which later shaped his writing career. Stevenson traveled widely and used his experiences to create exciting tales of pirates, mystery, and exploration. His stories remain popular today and helped shape modern adventure fiction.

On the morning of November 7, 1878, it was discovered that the tomb of wealthy Gilded Age merchant A. T. Stewart had been opened and his body taken.    Although this was shocking, the idea of graves being opened and bodies stolen was not new, and in fact, it became a fairly common occurrence during the 19th century and before. Bodies were snatched for a variety of reasons, including ransom, but more often to serve as specimens for the expanding medical profession to use in research and training.   In this episode, cemetery historian and tour guide James Henry takes us on a journey through the 19th century, sharing tales of the most infamous bodysnatchers, Burke and Hare in 1820s Scotland, the attempted body snatching of President Abraham Lincoln, and the lengths 19th-century folk went to to ensure their loved ones' graves were safe from criminals.   Additionally, we'll examine how the practice of body snatching influenced writers such as Mark Twain, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Charles Dickens.    And James shares the mysterious ending of the curious tale of just what happened to the body of A.T. Stewart.  This episode was produced and edited by Kieran Gannon Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send a textPass the smelling salts! Readers of the Victorian Era eagerly (or furtively) set scruples aside to read Mary Elizabeth Braddon's 1862 sensation novel Lady Audley's Secret — the title of which was enough to tempt even the most puritanical schoolmarm into sneaking a peak. But it was Braddon's sumptuous prose, eye for drama and sophisticated understanding of social mores which won her the admiration of contemporaries like William Makepiece Thackery, Alfred Lord Tennyson and Robert Louis Stevenson. Booklist reviewer and television writer Kristine Huntley joins us this week to discuss Braddon's remarkable prowess in navigating scandalous secrets … including her own!Mentioned in this episode:2026 Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Fiction and Nonfiction shortlist and longlistBooklistLady Audley's Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon“Abducted by my Teacher” Lifetime movie“Freakish” on Hulu“Mind Games” on ABC“Two Sentence Horror Stories” on the CWThe real case that partially inspired Lady Audley's SecretJohn MaxwellAurora Floyd by Mary Elizabeth BraddonThe Woman in White by Wilkie CollinsThe Doctor's Wife by Mary Elizabeth BraddonThe Trail of the Serpent by Mary Elizabeth BraddonThree Times Dead by Mary Elizabeth BraddonDaniel Deronda by George EliotLost Ladies of Lit Episode No. 268 on Rosalind AsheSupport the showFor episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.comSubscribe to our substack newsletter.
