Podcasts about true horror

In 1971, two boys found a pair of carved stone heads in their garden that unleashed a werewolf-like creature, baffled archaeologists, and vanished without a trace — leaving behind only terror and unanswered questions.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: Deep within the ancient limestone caves of Wookey Hole, a legendary witch once cast her dark curse over the nearby village, dooming all love to fail. Centuries later, the echoes of her magic still haunt the caverns, where eerie sounds and ghostly figures continue to baffle and terrify visitors. Is the petrified figure in the Witch's Kitchen truly the stone remains of the cursed sorceress, or does her spirit linger, waiting for someone to break the spell? (The Witch of Wookey Hole) *** In 1954, off the coast of Australia, a routine flight turned into one of the most compelling UFO encounters in history. When Royal Australian Navy pilot Lieutenant O'Farrell reported two mysterious lights outpacing his Sea Fury aircraft, he couldn't have imagined that his sighting, confirmed by multiple radar operators on the ground, would become a cornerstone case in UFO research for decades to come. (The Sea Fury UFO Mystery) *** "When two boys unearth strange stone heads in their backyard, they unknowingly trigger a series of eerie events, from ghostly encounters to bizarre werewolf sightings. As archaeologists and paranormal investigators examine the Hexham Heads, rumors of ancient curses and supernatural forces grow — but are the objects truly cursed, or is it all just legend?" (The Hexham Heads)ABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

In the summer of 1968, two young children, both under the age of five, turned up dead in Scotswood, a run down neighborhood of primarily government housing in the industrial English city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Initially, the first boy's death had been ruled an accident. But when the second died... they knew he had been strangled. And the coroner felt another child had been the one to do it. Sadly, he was right. Who would've thought a young girl, just ten years old when she killed her first victim, was capable of this? For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com

Tune in as we break down its uncompromising violence, eerie atmosphere, and the psychological torment that lingers long after the credits roll.As always, leave us a review, follow us on our socials and tell your friends about our show, so they can join in on the horror.

Hey Horror Fans!This week, We are joined by Emily C. Hughes, author of Horror for Weenies! In our conversation Emily shares her journey into horror, from the childhood moments that scared her away to the realization a decade later that she was hooked on the genre.We dive into the unique challenges faced by "horror weenies"—those who fear the screams on screen but still want to join the conversation as horror becomes increasingly more popular than every before. Emily's book bridges the gap, offering readers a friendly hand as they step into the void. While we were initially hesitant about the concept of enabling spoilers, Horror for Weenies won us over with its thoughtful approach and Why It Matters sections that explore the cultural and historical significance of each film.Whether you're a seasoned horror lover or a curious newcomer, this episode (and Emily's book) has something for everyone so... Come Hang Out!!!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

But I'm guessing what you never picture in your head is a Victorian woman named Madame Rachel. She never got her own movie, but she was the real deal.

IN THIS EPISODE: We'll explore chilling stories of haunted orphanages, where the echoes of heartbroken and lonely children linger long after the buildings have been abandoned. (Haunted Orphanage Stories) *** “If only these walls could talk,” we've heard people say. But what if the walls could talk? In the world of paranormal investigations, the “Stone Tape Theory” is gaining recognition – or at least raising eyebrows and intrigue. Could the walls of your home have recorded your horrific death – and then replay that scene as a haunting? (The Stone Tape Theory) *** One thing is for sure in this life – and that is, your life will eventually cease. How you go out could make or break your legacy. Freak accidents are something you'd probably want to avoid, but they happen – and I have a few examples to share. (Weird Deaths) *** In the misty expanse of Bodmin Moor, a tragic tale of love, jealousy, and murder unfolded in 1844. When Charlotte Dymond's lifeless body was found, all eyes turned to her lover, Matthew Weeks, whose subsequent execution left many questioning his guilt. (The Tragic Tale of Charlotte Dymond) *** The Urantia Book – a fascinating and controversial text that blends science, religion, and philosophy into a cosmic narrative of divine beings and celestial order. But no one knows who wrote it. (The Urantia Book Of Cosmic Thought) *** I'm trying something new by telling a true story of old murder in an old detective style… I call it “Murder Noir” and tonight's case will be the death of Jeanette Earnest in Fort Worth in 1954. (Murder Noir, Jeanette Earnest) *** On Monday 17th October 1814, a terrible disaster claimed the lives of at least 8 people. A bizarre industrial accident resulted in the release of a tsunami onto the streets of London… comprised entirely of beer.

IN THIS EPISODE: Although Valak is depicted in the films "The Nun" and in “The Conjuring 2” as a habit-wearing spirit, the real demon appears as a child riding a two-headed dragon — at least according to a 17th-century demon-hunting manual. (The Reality Behind The Demon, Valak) *** The Vatican is one of the most well-guarded areas in the world. But if rumors are to be believed, all that security isn't only to protect the pontiff… but some dark, disturbing secrets… and a machine that could change everything we know to be true. (The Vatican's Secret Machine) *** We'll look at that time a force field was accidentally created at a 3M plant. (3M's Accidental Force Field) *** In 1872 George Wheeler met and married May Tillson in Boston. He made a home for May and her younger sister Della, first in New York, then in California. Along the way, George fell in love with young Della and when she planned to marry someone else he was faced with a dilemma: he could not marry her himself and he could not bear to see her wed to another. The solution he chose pleased no one. (Thus She Passed Away) *** In the 1800s scientists and doctors needed cadavers to study human anatomy and practice their skills. To help accommodate the need, it was made legal to sell dead bodies. What could possibly go wrong?
