La rana (The Frog) es un relato de terror del escritor norteamericano Henry Kuttner (1915-1958), publicado originalmente en la edición de febrero de 1939 en la revista Strange Stories. La rana, posiblemente uno de los cuentos de Henry Kuttner menos conocidos, relata la historia de Norman Hartley, un artista de Nueva York que decide pasar una temporada en el campo para recuperar su productividad. Alquila una casa rural muy cerca de Monk's Hollow, o la Hoya del Monje, y en su jardín descubre una gran roca con extraños grabados. Los lugareños la llaman La Piedra de la Bruja, y aseguran que en realidad es la lápida de Persis Winthorp, una bruja que fue oportunamente asesinada por los antiguos pobladores del lugar. SPOILERS. A pesar de las advertencias de los lugareños, Norman Hartley es un tipo escéptico. No cree en absurdas supersticiones. Por otro lado, la Piedra de la Bruja ofende su sensibilidad artística, ya que arruina la delicada simetría del jardín, de modo tal que contrata a un par de sujetos para que quiten la lápida. Naturalmente, esto fue una muy mala idea. Persis Winthorp regresa, no ya como una odiosa bruja, sino más bien como una criatura híbrida, mitad mujer, mitad batracio (ver: El cuerpo de la mujer en el Horror). Bajo esta forma monstruosa aterroriza a Norman Hartley y a la gente de la Hoya del Monje, irrumpiendo en sus casas en medio de la noche y haciéndolas pedazos. Los aldeanos se apresuran a organizar una partida para defender a sus familias y cazar al monstruo. Sin embargo, todo parce indicar que la bruja está interesada únicamente en Norman Hartley, a quien eventualmente persigue hasta sus dominios en el pantano. La rana de no es un relato brillante, pero sí competente, la clase de pieza que uno espera de un autor con el oficio de Henry Kuttner. La escena final, donde Persis Winthorp persigue al protagonista hasta el pantano, es realmente escalofriante, así como la frondosa descripción que hace el autor de esta monstruosa criatura híbrida. Si bien La rana de Henry Kuttner no pertenece a los Mitos de Cthulhu (ver: Henry Kuttner en los Mitos de Cthulhu), hay algunos aspectos que lo vinculan directamente con la obra de H.P. Lovecraft, entre ellos, el tema del mestizaje, el tratamiento que el autor le da a Persis Winthorp, y lo reptiliano (ver: Reptilianos en la obra de Lovecraft). Henry Kuttner estuvo trabajando en La rana mucho antes de que finalmente apareciera. Tres años antes, le escribió a Lovecraft comentándole a grandes rasgos el argumento de la historia. El 18 de mayo de 1936, el maestro de Providence le respondió: Tu mención de La rana me interesa mucho, porque parece mi clase de cuento. Si Wright lo rechaza (Lovecraft se refiere aquí a Farnsworth Wright, editor de Weird Tales), confío en que me dejarás leerlo, porque no quiero perderme el tipo de historia que parece ser. La atmósfera de persecusión onírica es sin duda ideal para cualquier cosa de esta naturaleza. Tal como lo anticipó Lovecraft, Farnsworth Wright rechazó La rana de Henry Kuttner, tal vez porque el argumento se parecía demasiado a otro cuento del autor: El horror de Salem (The Salem Horror). Pasaron tres años antes de que apareciera en Strange Stories, una de las revistas que rivalizaban con Weird Tales. Lovecraft, lamentablemente, murió en 1937. No sabemos si Henry Kuttner le envió una copia de La rana antes de esa fecha, pero estimamos cualquier miembro del Círculo de Lovecraft le concedería tal solicitud al Maestro de Providence (ver: Los Mitos de Khut-N’hah) Análisis de: El Espejo Gótico https://elespejogotico.blogspot.com/2020/08/la-rana-henry-kuttner-relato-y-analisis.html Texto del relato extraído de: https://elespejogotico.blogspot.com/2020/08/la-rana-henry-kuttner-relato-y-analisis.html Musicas: - 01.

Join me as I take a deep dive into the life and legacy of Franz Mesmer, the man who invented a strange and mysterious healing method that would inspire modern hypnosis and change the world forever. In the 18th century, Mesmer's daring, radical experiments with "animal magnetism" quickly catapulted him to the status of a celebrity, then plunged him into scandal. Was Mesmer a visionary ahead of his time, or simply a talented showman? Listen, and decide for yourself -- and prepare to be Mesmerized!

Send us a textMark Marinaccio, founder of Strange Story Co. (@strangestoryco on Insta) and the premiere producer of non-fiction TV and streaming series such as Ghost Hunters, Alien Encounters: Truth or Fiction and The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch and many many many more, shares his profound insights on all things mystical and unexplained in our interdimensional metaverse. Marinaccio is a veteran producer and creator of streaming and TV contaent in what is typically known as paranormal phenomena. However, Marinaccio explains how the terms ghosts and aliens seems out of sync with his own understanding of what is probably a difference in dimensions....other organic or sentient or conscious beings existing in another dimension in a way that as humans we have yet to fully explain and understand. HIs first venture into the unexplained was in Leap Castle in Ireland, one of the country's most haunted locations., for the long-running series Ghost Hunters. There Druids once celebrated their initiations and the O'Bannon clan fought for domination. But among the many haunted and alien-rich locations Marinaccio is familiar with in his career is Skinwalker Ranch in Utah. As showrunner of Series 3 of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, Marinaccio's investigative sense of curiousity and understanding of portals, interdimensional travel and high frequency interference deepened. Marinaccio openly shares his thoughts and experiences with what he feels lis likely a portal regularly traveled by interdimensional beings to and from Skinwalker Ranch. Listen for more details and inside scoop on this, the Jersey drones and Marinaccio's own adventures into the desert to site UAP's. Hope you love this fun, intriguing, mind bending interview with one of television's most prolific unexplained producers. Hopefully, Marinaccio will soon turn his talent to the episodic and theatrical!! We all love a good alien movie, don't we? Please remember to like and subscribe to THE SOULFAM PODCAST!!! Thank you.

Dhruv and Cris take a minor detour from the endlessly mysterious world(s) of David Lynch to a somewhat more familiar one in their second (of they don't know how many) eps on David Lynch. And joining them is a returning guest, Arijit Paul, who is thankful to Lynch (especially his work in "Eraserhead") for not only inspiring him to pursue a career in (film) sound but also for validating his love for cigarettes.We listen to Arijit's wonderfully strange stories of discovering Lynch and the strange memories his films inspire in him before talking in detail about one of Lynch's more "conventional" movies -- "The Elephant Man" (1980), which both Dhruv and Cris are decidedly more mixed on than Arijit. Listen to the full episode to hear them talk about why they love half the movie and not the entirety of it and why David Lynch -- even minus all the bursts of surrealism -- is an incredible filmmaker.

Would you choose to have an identical twin? Someone who looked so much like you, that even your own mother couldn't always tell the two of you apart?  Someone whom friends and even lovers couldn't distinguish you from? Someone who experienced the world in a way so similar to your own, that no one else could ever possibly be able to relate to you quite like they could. Could be fun! But as you'll see... it could be also dangerous.For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com

Send us a textThe Helen Duncan seances at Portsmouth during WW2, allegedly called the spirit of a sailor who died aboard the HMS Barham which had been lost with almost 900 onboard.  The spirit sailor told Duncan of the loss. It was top secret and nobody was supposed to have knowledge of it, so was this proof that spirits called at the séance were genuine? Well of course not,  but other documentaries on the subject were coy about telling the story suggesting or hinting that it may be the case that it was a spirit. I found this ambiguity rather annoying and wanted to get to the truth of the case. So I made this podcast based on the court papers.

Dhruv and Cris are entering the endlessly mysterious world(s) of David Lynch for the first time (of many!) this year. And joining them, in his very first (QID) outing, is Devarsi Ghosh (@devarsighosh), a film journalist doubling as their Lynch guide for this trip to Lynch's nightmarish evocation of Philadelphia in his feature-length debut film, "Eraserhead" (1977).Before reaching there, however, they all describe their introductions to Lynch Land, what it feels like being there, and why nobody can even come close to creating a similar feeling of that today. (They do question if they themselves are “grumpy cynics," but that's only to conclude that that's the only appropriate response to have given the drek they're served up today). Listen to the full episode to hear them then talk about their experience of "Eraserhead" - intended very much NOT as an “ending explained” breakdown of it; the objective - throughout all our episodes on Lynch's films - will be to preserve the mystery of his works, not undermine it!Regardless, major spoilers for “Eraserhead”!TIME CODES Introductions to David Lynch: [00:00 - 31:51]The "Dune" Caveat: [31:51 - 34:05]Impossibility of "Intuitive" Filmmaking Today: [34:05 - 56:06]"Eraserhead" (1977): [56:06 - 01:46:18]Outro: [01:46:18 - 01:50:47]TEXT REFERENCED REPEATEDLY"Room to Dream" (David Lynch & Kristine McKenna).AUDIO/VIDEO EXCERPTS REFERENCED EXTENSIVELY1.

Send us a textI am sure nobody listening would have ever heard about this case. The actual case files will not be released until 2057, 100 years plus after the case so there is something to be kept secret. It is a short podcast, with a lot of padding because there is no information. Recorded in lo-fi in one take with no editing. I will post some photos on the F/B site, not however the corpses which were quite horrifying. Hubert Douglas, If still alive would be 87 today, he seemed brutalised by his upbringing, he must have been to commit parricide.

The Sign of Four by Arthur Conan Doyle chapter 12 The Strange Story of Jonathan Small, narrated by Isaac BirchallSubscribe on YT or Join the Book Club on Patreon and support me as an independent creator :Dhttps://ko-fi.com/theessentialreadshttps://www.patreon.com/theessentialreadshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOFfvo05ElM96CmfsGsu3g/joinSUMMARY: Watson heads back to Baker Street and shows Jones and Holmes the empty Treasure Chest. Small barks a laugh, and says that he emptied the gems into the river when he realised that they were going to catch him, and says that the only people with a right to the treasure and the men that make up "the Sign of the Four."Holmes then presses Small to start his story. He was born into a poor farmer family in Worcestershire. He joined the British army after getting into some trouble with a girl, and was sent to India. After leaving training, his leg was bitten off by a crocodile, and was forced to leave the forces. After recovering, his superior got him a job on a plantation looking over the workers. His boss was kind, but soon a revolt started in India, and the workers turned against the masters and Small was forced to flee to Agra. In Agra he joined a volunteer corps set up in an old fort. He served here as a guard, and had two Punjabi men under his command. One night, the two ambushed him, and told him to be either with or against them. When he agreed, they told him about the treasure, and told him that a man was coming that night to Agra. When the man arrived, they attacked the man with the chest, and hid both the body and the treasure after making a tally of the jewels inside. Sadly for the men, the body was soon found, and they were all arrested and sent to work camps, and after a while were sent to the Andaman Islands. Here, Small was given a bit more freedom, and became close to the doctor. He over heard the doctor and the army guards playing cards, and heard two of them slowly lose more and more money, Morstan, and Sholto.Small then told the two about the treasure, and said that if they could go and get the treasure and help the members of the Sign of the Four escape, then they could have their fair share of the treasure too. Sholto goes to collect the Treasure, and then doesn't return... Small knows that he has stolen the Agra Treasure, and vows to get his revenge. He soon came into contact with one of the Natives, and helped heal him back to health after being wounded. He soon told the man, Tonga, of the Treasure, and asked to help him escape in his canoe. The two escape, and after a long while, make their way to London. Small finds out about Sholto, and goes to investigate; Sholto passes away when he see's Small's face in the window. Small then employs a man inside the house to give him information about the Treasure. One day he hears that it was found, and he takes Tonga with him to take it back. They get the treasure, Sholto is taken out, and then Holmes' chase began.SEO stuff that I really don't want to have to do...Join me for another immersive narration of this classic detective story from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

When the supernatural seeps into our world, it doesn't just leave behind fear—it can also leave sickness. From shadowy visitors to ominous dreams, some eerie paranormal encounters suggest that the price of witnessing the unknown may be paid in flesh and blood.IN THIS EPISODE: When the supernatural intrudes into our lives, it's not just our minds that are affected. We'll delve into a few bizarre cases where individuals fell gravely ill after brushes with the paranormal. Is it coincidence? Or something more sinister? And could these illnesses be due to the paranormal literally draining us of life? (Supernaturally Sick, Paranormally Poisoned) *** Helen Duncan made a living from conducting séances—until her uncanny knowledge of classified World War II tragedies spooked British authorities. (Britain's Last Witch) *** Jeremy Bentham was a philosopher whose ideas about mortality and utility extended beyond death. Bentham's wish for his body to be preserved and displayed as an "auto-icon" – so it could be seen publicly by all. And while his wishes were granted, it came with a few hiccups along the way… mostly with his poor head. (The Strange Story of Mr. Bentham's Corpse) *** Annie Dorman was discovered lifeless with a gunshot wound, sending shockwaves through her tight-knit community. Suicide seemed improbable, leaving detectives baffled and family perplexed. Was it a crime of passion, an accident, murder… or truly suicide? In a similar case, just a few years later, in the serene countryside of Greenwich, New York, the lifeless form of Maggie Hourigan is found, floating in a tranquil pool, speculation runs rampant. Were these cases suicide, as hastily concluded, horrible accidents… or sinister murders?

What can Saint Augustine tell us about attitudes to grief in the Middle Ages? What made women steer clear of the shrine of Saint Cuthbert? And why did pilgrims bring gifts of wax to the dead saint William of Norwich? In his new book Medieval Saints and their Sins, Luke Daly examines the lives and afterlives of venerated holy people. Speaking to Emily Briffett for today's episode, he reveals what saints can tell us about the thoughts and fears of the Middle Ages.
