“MYSTERY, MISMANAGEMENT, and MAYHEM on the SS MORRO CASTLE” #WeirdDarknessRadio WEEK OF MAR 16, 2025==========HOUR ONE: Jeannie Saffin already had a tough life, being born with a birth defect that stunted her mental growth, leaving her with the mind of a child, never getting married and having kids, never dating… but that all pales in comparison to how she died: bursting into flames for no apparent reason. Was Jeannie Saffin the victim of spontaneous human combustion? (The Spontaneous Combustion of Jeannie Saffin) *** Sometimes it's easy to get a girl to go out with you – just be polite and ask. Some men resort to cheesy pickup lines thinking it will help their chances. But one man chose to call upon a woman in a very unusual way… by purchasing a gravestone. (Pitching Woo With a Tombstone) *** If a man demands his girlfriend give up the baby they conceived, otherwise he would no longer be with the woman – what is that newborn's mother to do? Sadly, Emily Dunn made the wrong decision – with tragic results. (The Durbin Baby Murder) *** The transplanting of an organ is almost a routine procedure now in the 21st century – even doing a transplant of an arm or a leg isn't uncommon. But when you talk about transplanting a living head onto a dead body – that's when things get tricky. But Robert White thought it could be done – and even tried doing it. (The Man Who Wanted To Do a Head Transplant) *** Imagine getting onto a plane and once in the air finding out that the pilot wasn't qualified to fly that kind of plane – and that he was only there because the original pilot wasn't available due to being dead. That's what happened in 1934 on the boat, the SS Morro Castle. And it was the beginning of tragedy after tragedy. (Mystery, Mismanagement, and Mayhem on the SS Morro Castle)==========HOUR TWO: In June of 2009 a man calling himself Peter Bergmann checked in to a hotel in Sligo Town. Five days later his body was found on Rosses Point Beach. But Peter Bergmann was not Peter Bergmann – so who was he? (The Peter Bergmann Mystery) *** Sharing stories from people who are frightened by a bump in the night or a strange shadow on the wall in their bedroom is one thing, but when you get professional ghost hunters telling of the scariest experiences they've had, you know it has to be some freaky stuff. (Scariest Experiences of Ghost Hunters) ==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: More of the scariest experiences of ghost hunters! *** I'll tell you about that time when a dam failed – and because of it, people were legally allowed to marry the dead. And still do to this day. (That Time A Failed Dam Led to Marrying Corpses) *** Personal experiences of those who have stayed at the Wolf Creek Inn, plus some hard evidence, seems to indicate that spirits who haunt the place are not only benign in nature, but even protect the guests and owners from other malevolent spirits which roam there as well.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 9 of The Paranormal Rundown! The Gang of Nerds has been obliterated this month, Vic has Covid, David has neck problems, Fr. Mike is in a lot of pain, and JJ is taking in the fine dining and culture of Japan. Since we weren't able to get together and record a new episode, we thought we would do a recap of Season One. This started out as a simple idea of pull the top clips out of the season and make an episode out of it, but it turned into having about 9 hours or more of really great conversation! As a result, we decided to make it a four part series. We will be publishing an episode each Friday through the end of the year. Sort of a Paranormal Rundown countdown to 2025. Each episode will feature the best clips from five episodes last season. So that it is not just reruns, Vic and David will be adding a little commentary on each of the episode and history of the rundown as we go. This episode has conversation that covers Crop Circles, Hairy Hands, Ouija Boards, Estes Method, Azazel, Demons, Bamboo Chicken, Rocky Mountain Oysters, Cockroach Demon, Shared Stories, Hundredth Monkey Effect, The Antichrist, Bigfoot Encounter, Cheeseburger Cravings, Ghost Police Calls, and Spontaneous Combustion. Talk about a wide list of topics! We also have clips from our first guests, Father Michael Birdsong, paranormal writer Anna Maria Manalo, and retired police officer Val Zavala. We really enjoyed going back through these episodes and listening to some fascinating, and sometimes hilarious, conversation. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.We also have an ask of you the listener. David has been thinking of taking short clips like this out of each episode, and publishing it as it's own podcast. It would be maybe a 30-45 minute episode with some of the more interesting conversation from a full Rundown. If you have suggestions, or would like to see something like that, please email us at feedback@paranormalrundown.com. And as always, if you have any interest on joining us for a rundown, please let us know.The Paranormal Rundown is a partnership between the hosts David Griffith, JJ Johnson, Father Michael Birdsong, and Vic Hermanson.Be sure to check out our partner podcasts:You can find JJ at Southern Demonology, https://www.southerndemonology.comYou can find Vic at Trailer Trash Terrors, https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vic-hermansonYou can find Father Birdsong at https://www.becomingahouseofprayer.com, as well as hear his new podcast Ending the Curse at:https://open.spotify.com/show/5yL7ZAN4wcRKnMPAlalVXW Hosted on Acast.

Hey Horror Rewind fans!
Tonight, my special guest is author and researcher Larry Arnold who's here to discuss his book called Ablaze. The book details his research into astonishing cases surrounding people who literally ignited and burned to ashes. Get his book now on Amazon. In this amazing book are hundreds of unbelievable examples of The Fire Within, culled from long-forgotten obscure medical journals and never-before-published interviews with witnesses to the impossible. What is the evidence? How do firemen react to mounds of human ashes found inside unburned buildings, even inside unscorched clothing? Are these merely "smoking mishaps" as coroners claim, or deaths far less easily explained away? Why do facts crying out for answers meet with suppression of evidence; denial; debunking? If no other explanation can resolve these human fireballs, then SHC must be added to the growing catalog of mystery ailments that plague mankind. Thus more questions are raised. Can the human body cremate itself biochemically? Or by its own electrical energy within? Is there a new form of energy (energies) being revealed that may herald limitless non-polluting power? What is the role of geography, quantum physics, and - indeed - human consciousness in outbreaks of SHC Show Us Some Love!

Have you ever heard of spontaneous combustion? It's a fascinating phenomenon where fire ignites without an external heat source. But what if I told you there's a similar concept regarding generosity? Join me as we observe an encounter from Genesis where Jacob is spontaneously generous. There’s transformative power in spontaneous generosity where you can embrace a life of impactful giving with blessings beyond measure. In this episode, John discusses: Fascinating facts of spontaneous combustion The opportunity of spontaneous generosity Giving from a place of deep gratitude and faith Cultivating spontaneous and consistenty generosity Key Takeaways: Spontaneous combustion occurs without external heat sources due to chemical, biological, or physical processes, resulting in fires like those from dirty rags, hay bales, or compost piles. Spontaneous generosity mirrors this phenomenon, arising from internal gratitude and love for God, leading to bold and immediate giving without hesitation or calculation, driven by an internal force beyond logic. Cultivating spontaneous generosity involves being prepared to give, seeking counsel and wisdom, and trusting in God's guidance while leaving the outcome to Him, and acknowledging the limits of personal judgment. Embracing spontaneous generosity opens opportunities for miracles, transforming lives and multiplying blessings beyond measure, making giving a central and impactful part of one's life. “Let your giving go big and bold, and watch God show up in some incredible forms of blessings that will simply amaze you.” Resources Mentioned: Fire Prevention 52: Spontaneous Combustion–Fact or Fiction?: https://www.nps.gov/articles/fire-prevention-52-spontaneous-combustion.htm CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!

IN THIS EPISODE: When police found her in 1951, she was almost entirely ash. But mysteriously, the rest of her apartment remained almost perfectly intact. We'll look at the death of Mary Reeser – which became known as “The Cinder Woman Case”. (Did Mary Hardy Reeser Spontaneously Combust?) *** Most crimes are pretty ordinary – assault, robbery, the occasional murder, but once in a while a crime is committed in a strange, shocking way – to the point it's almost hard to believe what you are hearing is a true story. I'll share a few of those strange crimes. (Creepy Crimes and Crazy Criminals) *** One of the reasons we find chimpanzees so interesting is because they are so much like humans – in body shape, the way they express themselves, it's eerie sometimes. But still, we know they are just apes. Then there is the strange case of Oliver – a chimpanzee that also appeared to be human. Or was he a human that appeared to be a chimpanzee? Or, is it possible, that Oliver was a genuine genetic hybrid of the two? We'll look at his incredibly strange story. (Oliver, The Humanzee) *** Some hauntings are more terrifying than others – and some are stranger than others. What happened to the Palzon family in Zaragoza, Spain possibly qualifies for both. They didn't have a typical haunting – this was no poltergeist or spirit of a recently passed person… they were terrorized by a horrifying goblin. (The Zaragoza Goblin) *** Most haunted paintings are hundreds of years old – but one in particular was painted in the late 20th Century, and to many, it is the most disturbing painting they've ever laid eyes on.

There have been a few hundred cases of spontaneous human combustion reported, with some reported instances from as early as the 17th century. They were highly debated as to whether they were truly a case of spontaneous combustion or something else - and the vast majority went ignored, written off as nothing more than an urban legend. However, when 67-year-old Mary Hardy Reeser was discovered completely reduced to a pile of burnt debris and ashes, law enforcement stepped in to investigate what had happened. The FBI even became involved in the case, documenting evidence that just didn't seem to add up. Still to this day, it isn't clear what happened to Mary.

I asked him about what brought him to become a freemason, afterwards we discussed life's inherent magic and the operative order of nature. From there Ike described theurgy and its distinction from other forms of magic. Plato and his teachings and their influence took the next phase of conversation and from there I asked Ike how Modern schools would be judged by Plato if he were alive today. Ike described the ideal state of Plato's academia and the true nature of the mystery schools that are often discussed in psychedelic circles. Next we discuss Kundalini Energy, Spontaneous Combustion, Entities, Archangels, Daimons, Demons, and the value of an initiatory path within an organization comprising of trained individuals is an essential step toward truly grasping the hermetic and esoteric knowledge that has been maintained within secret societies for thousands of years.

PLEASE SHARE WEIRD DARKNESS® in your social media and with others who loves paranormal stories, true crime, monsters, or unsolved mysteries like you do!IN THIS EPISODE: Most crimes are pretty ordinary – assault, robbery, the occasional murder, but once in a while a crime is committed in a strange, shocking way – to the point it's almost hard to believe what you are hearing is a true story. I'll share a few of those strange crimes. (Creepy Crimes and Crazy Criminals) *** One of the reasons we find chimpanzees so interesting is because they are so much like humans – in body shape, the way they express themselves, it's eerie sometimes. But still, we know they are just apes. Then there is the strange case of Oliver – a chimpanzee that also appeared to be human. Or was he a human that appeared to be a chimpanzee? Or, is it possible, that Oliver was a genuine genetic hybrid of the two? We'll look at his incredibly strange story. (Oliver, The Humanzee) *** Some hauntings are more terrifying than others – and some are stranger than others. What happened to the Palzon family in Zaragoza, Spain possibly qualifies for both. They didn't have a typical haunting – this was no poltergeist or spirit of a recently passed person… they were terrorized by a horrifying goblin. (The Zaragoza Goblin) *** Most haunted paintings are hundreds of years old – but one in particular was painted in the late 20th Century, and to many, it is the most disturbing painting they've ever laid eyes on. (The Hands Resist Him) *** When police found her in 1951, she was almost entirely ash. But mysteriously, the rest of her apartment remained almost perfectly intact. We'll look at the death of Mary Reeser – which became known as “The Cinder Woman Case”.

Find Weird Darkness wherever you listen to podcasts: https://linktr.ee/weirddarkness IN THIS EPISODE: Imagine getting onto a plane and once in the air finding out that the pilot wasn't qualified to fly that kind of plane – and that he was only there because the original pilot wasn't available due to being dead. That's what happened in 1934 on the boat, the SS Morro Castle. And it was the beginning of tragedy after tragedy. (Mystery, Mismanagement, and Mayhem on the SS Morro Castle) *** Jeannie Saffin already had a tough life, being born with a birth defect that stunted her mental growth, leaving her with the mind of a child, never getting married and having kids, never dating… but that all pales in comparison to how she died: bursting into flames for no apparent reason. Was Jeannie Saffin the victim of spontaneous human combustion? (The Spontaneous Combustion of Jeannie Saffin) *** Sometimes it's easy to get a girl to go out with you – just be polite and ask. Some men resort to cheesy pickup lines thinking it will help their chances. But one man chose to call upon a woman in a very unusual way… by purchasing a gravestone. (Pitching Woo With a Tombstone) *** If a man demands his girlfriend give up the baby they conceived, otherwise he would no longer be with the woman – what is that newborn's mother to do? Sadly, Emily Dunn made the wrong decision – with tragic results. (The Durbin Baby Murder) *** The transplanting of an organ is almost a routine procedure now in the 21st century – even doing a transplant of an arm or a leg isn't uncommon. But when you talk about transplanting a living head onto a dead body – that's when things get tricky. But Robert White thought it could be done – and even tried doing it. (The Man Who Wanted To Do a Head Transplant) *** Plus, I'll tell you about that time when a dam failed – and because of it, people were legally allowed to marry the dead. And still do to this day.

This week we look at the history of one of the scariest and most confusing phenomena known to man, and try to unravel the mystery surrounding it.
