Welcome back, WIFs.This week, Lauren and Michelle continue their Bring Back the 90's series with a topic that feels almost impossible to imagine in today's world:When conspiracy theories were actually fun.Before social media rabbit holes, endless online debates, and doomscrolling your way into an existential crisis, conspiracy theories were the stuff of late-night conversations, tabloid headlines, and episodes of Unsolved Mysteries. They were weird, harmless, and just mysterious enough to spark your imagination.In this episode, the sisters revisit some of the biggest conspiracy theories of the 90's—from Bigfoot sightings and the Loch Ness Monster to Roswell aliens, Area 51, the Bermuda Triangle, Amelia Earhart, and crop circles.Most importantly, they reflect on the power of nostalgia and why revisiting simpler times feels so comforting right now. Sometimes it's not about whether the theories were true—it's about remembering a time when life felt a little lighter, a little slower, and a lot less complicated.Press play, get cozy, and join Lauren and Michelle for a nostalgic trip back to a decade when conspiracy theories sparked curiosity instead of anxiety.Because sometimes the mystery is more fun than the answer.Resources:⁠⁠⁠A Cozy Night For Readers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Us!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop Our Seasonal Candles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check Out Our Website⁠

In December 1935, Hollywood comedian and café owner Thelma Todd left a glittering night at the Trocadero, was driven home to the Pacific Coast Highway, and then simply disappeared into the dark. Two days later she was found slumped behind the wheel of her car in a hilltop garage, dead from carbon monoxide, in the same party dress and heels she'd worn Saturday night, no clear injuries in the official report, no suicide note, and a timeline that immediately made police call it an accidental death while almost everyone else smelled something far more sinister.Rumors of a staged scene, mob threats, jealous lovers, and a director who may have locked her out after a fight have kept her case alive for nearly a century, turning Thelma Todd's silent, lonely death into one of Old Hollywood's most enduring “did-someone-get-away-with-murder?” stories.

On 16 May 2006, 32 year old aspiring screenwriter Rey Rivera disappeared after receiving a phone call and suddenly running out of his Baltimore home. A week later, his body was discovered inside the historic Belvedere Hotel beneath a hole in the roof. Although authorities believed Rey died by suicide, the medical examiner ruled the manner of death undetermined due to the unusual circumstances surrounding the case.On the podcast, we take a look at multiple theories that could explain Rey's death, we also try to find any reason why Rey would have been targeted.Contact us at: weeknightmysteries@gmail.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/weeknightmysteriesTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@weeknightmysteries

In July 2006, eighteen-year-old Roxanne Paltauf vanished from a Budget Inn near Interstate 35 and Rundberg Lane in Austin, Texas. Just hours earlier, she had promised her mother she would be home the next morning.Roxanne was the oldest of five children and shared an immensely close relationship with her family. She was working toward her GED, holding multiple jobs, and planning for her future. But those closest to her worried about her volatile relationship. After she went missing, her boyfriend Louis Reginald Walls called and claimed the couple had argued and that she stormed out of their motel room carrying nothing. He said she left behind her purse, jewelry, clothing, and cellphone, a story that immediately alarmed her family, who knew Roxanne never went anywhere without her belongings.As detectives began looking into her disappearance, after initially treating her case as little more than a lover's spat, troubling details emerged. Walls waited nearly twenty-four hours to report Roxanne missing and continued using her cellphone in the days after she vanished. Friends and family also shared allegations of abuse and growing concerns about the relationship.Despite mounting suspicions, The Austin Police lacked the evidence needed to prove a crime had occurred.Twenty years later, Roxanne Paltauf remains missing.Part one of two.Roxanne's family is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to a conviction — or for information that leads to finding her remains. If you have any information about what happened to Roxanne Elizabeth Paltauf, you can submit a tip anonymously at roxannepaltauf.com or call the Austin Police Department at (512) 974-5250.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

When Deputy Luke Marbury rents the cabin above his to a woman named Enid Grant, Oscar becomes convinced that she is destroying the much younger man who joins her there, and his visions show him one killing after another. Fred Gwynne stars, with E.G. Marshall hosting.From there comes "Spirit Calling" from Tales From The Tomb, a short piece about a nine-year-old girl named Amy, alone in the house during a violent summer storm after her uncle Stanley's death, and the telephone call that comes through on a dead line.Next is Two Thousand Plus and "World's Apart," in which rocket engineer Jim Granger talks his way onto Flight 17, the first crewed voyage to Neptune, only for the spaceship Phoenix to be dragged off course by an uncharted comet. Crippled and lost, the ship limps to a landing at a place called Green Valley, where Commander Dijkstra can hear heartbeats across a room, the milk is green, and gravity does not behave the way it should.The Unexpected follows with "Heat Wave," starring Barry Sullivan as Whitey Malone, a fugitive sweating out a 110-degree heat wave in a fifth-floor garret while the police close in — and burning to settle accounts with the woman he thinks tipped them off.Then Unsolved Mysteries brings "Indian Fakir," a story told at the United Services Club in Simla, where a colonel recounts what happened when his young English bride, alone in their Bangalore bungalow, tried to outsmart a fakir who demanded a strand of her hair — and handed him threads pulled from a Chinese rug instead.Dark Venture presents "Elizabeth Is Frightened," with Joan Banks as a wealthy woman who marries Philip Bailey, a widower fascinated by the power of one mind to dominate another. As the whole town starts believing Elizabeth is ill and suicidal, only her housekeeper Flora and Dr. Davis suspect what her husband is really doing.The Weird Circle offers "Haunted Hotel," in which Henry Westwick travels to Venice and takes room fourteen at a converted castle to learn how his brother Philip died weeks after marrying the mysterious Countess Narona — and finds the answers coming to him in dreams.The Whistler tells "Murder Will Shout," the story of garage owner George Kramer, buried in debt to a man named Albion, and the small-time racketeer Peanut Marola who offers a black-market car racket, a partnership, and a solution to the Albion problem that goes very wrong on Miller Highway.Strange Wills, starring Warren William, tells "Emily," tracing a violin built by Antonio Stradivarius in Cremona in 1732 through the hands of gypsies, Niccolò Paganini, and the Heller family of Vienna, until it turns up at a barn dance in the Tennessee hills as a GI's war souvenir.The Witch's Tale delivers "Statue of Thor," in which sculptor Neil Redding, bored and cruel, mocks his enormous Swedish model Olaf, seduces Olaf's fiancée Hedwig, and takes the big man to the foundry to watch the statue of Thor cast in bronze — a casting that comes out of the mold wearing a face Redding never sculpted.X Minus One presents "Honeymoon In Hell," set in the late 1960s, when male births stop worldwide and the cybernetics machine known as Junior recommends sending a married couple to the moon. Rocket pilot Ray Carmody is wed to Eastern Alliance pilot Anya Borisovna hours before launch, and on the lunar surface they find an unidentified craft that does not belong to either alliance.ABC Mystery Time offers "Murder In Haste," in which Elbert Taylor kills his wife Ellen, flees Miami by train under an assumed name, and — after a derailment in Georgia — steals the identity of a dead mystery writer named Leslie Jameson, only to have Jameson's wife walk into his New York hotel room.The episode closes with Strange Adventure and "Death Rides The Carousel," where a lawyer named Jeffrey Ford is found stabbed through the heart on a merry-go-round chariot at a village carnival in Merrimack, and Inspector Jonathan Hawke spots the flaw in the ticket taker's account.

In June of 1987, eighteen-year-old Michael Jefferson "Mike" Adams seemed to have everything going for him. A recent early graduate of Cooper High School, Mike had already enrolled at Texas Tech University to study architecture, worked full-time to save for college, and had purchased his own car through hard work and determination.On the night of June 8, after closing the grocery store where he worked, Mike drove to his family's home in Abilene. His stepsister watched from a window as he stepped out of his car and casually spoke with someone waiting in another vehicle parked along the street. The interaction appeared completely normal.Mike was never seen again.When his family awoke the next morning, his car remained in the driveway, his wallet and cash were still inside the house, and his bed had never been slept in. Detectives quickly concluded that Mike had likely believed he was leaving for only a short time with someone he knew and trusted.Over the years, police have explored numerous theories surrounding Mike's disappearance. Despite decades of investigation, none of those leads have ever provided definitive answers.Nearly forty years later, Mike Adams remains missing. His father spent the rest of his life searching for answers before passing away in 2024, never learning what happened to his youngest son.If you have information about the disappearance of Michael Jefferson Adams, please contact the Abilene Police Department at (325) 673-8331.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

In 1900, a relief ship arrives at the remote Eilean Mòr lighthouse expecting to find three keepers waiting. Instead, the station is silent, the light is out, and there's no sign of the men anywhere. As the investigation unfolds, disturbing details emerge: damaged railings, missing equipment, and conflicting clues suggesting something sudden and violent may have happened on the island. But no bodies are ever found, and the official records don't fully explain what occurred. It's almost like James Ducat, Thomas Marshall, and Donald McArthur had vanished into thin air. For over a century, the world has wondered: Was it a freak "rogue wave" that swept them all away? Did one man snap and take the others with him? Or is there something even darker about the island the locals refused to share? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This daily comedy episode starts with a huge thank-you to everyone who came out for Operation Food Search and helped absolutely crush the food drive. The listeners showed up, stayed all morning, and filled trucks with donations because apparently our audience enjoys doing good deeds almost as much as they enjoy making poor decisions.Then things get weird.A listener decides that "leash laws" are more of a suggestion than an actual rule and lets his dog roam free through a crowded event full of kids, other dogs, and enough audio cables to shut down an entire broadcast. Somehow the dog behaves better than its owner.Meanwhile, one of us spends the weekend at Innsbrook, where a mysterious painting crashes to the floor at 4:15 in the morning immediately after watching old episodes of Unsolved Mysteries. Was it gravity? Was it ghosts? Was Robert Stack involved? We may never know.And then comes one of the wildest stories we've heard in a while. A heavily armed prepper moves into a new rental home, goes to sleep, and wakes up to find a man standing over his bed. The story somehow gets even crazier when it turns out the "intruder" is a realtor innocently showing the house because of a paperwork mistake. Nobody gets hurt, but everyone involved definitely needs a nap and probably therapy.Elsewhere in this daily comedy chaos:We debate whether Innsbrook is basically the Hamptons of St. Louis.Tim goes full cowboy mode at a Taylor Swift and Dolly Parton-themed party.Riz and Rafe perform a deeply uncomfortable rendition of "Islands in the Stream" at a wedding.Father's Day gifts range from practical torches to futuristic neck fans that look slightly ridiculous but feel amazing.We discuss alpha-gal syndrome, heat waves in Paris, and why every town in southern Illinois suddenly seems to be thriving.Basically, if your week has already gone off the rails and it's only Monday, this daily comedy episode is here to remind you that everyone else is figuring it out as they go too.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Between 1987 and 1991, an unidentified offender known only as Mr Cruel terrorized Melbourne, Australia, carrying out a series of meticulously planned home invasions, child abductions, and assaults. Despite one of Australia's largest investigations, Mr Cruel has never been identified. On the podcast, we look at the evidence that Mr Cruel left behind, and take a closer look at several of the leading suspects, including Robert Keith Knight and Normie Lee, also known as "Chops" Lee.Contact us at: weeknightmysteries@gmail.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/weeknightmysteriesTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@weeknightmysteries

The Patty Stallings case is a nightmare of bad science turned into a murder charge and a rare example of TV saving the day. In 1989, when Patty's newborn fell violently ill, lab results were misread as antifreeze poisoning, and she was swiftly branded a baby‑killer, arrested, and convicted even as her second child showed the same terrifying symptoms.After her story aired on Unsolved Mysteries, watching doctors recognized the pattern as a rare metabolic disorder, methylmalonic acidemia, that only looks like antifreeze poisoning on tests, proving her children were sick because of genetics, not abuse. Patty was eventually cleared, but only after losing a child and years of her life, making her case a stark warning about how quickly “clear evidence” can collapse and how a single TV episode can sometimes do what the justice system failed to do.

On the morning of February 9, 1855, residents across Devon, England awoke to a baffling sight. Strange hoof-like footprints stretched through fresh snow for miles, appearing in dozens of towns and villages. According to contemporary reports, the tracks crossed walls, rooftops, frozen rivers, and other obstacles, fueling rumors that the Devil himself had walked the countryside overnight.Nearly 200 years later, the Devil's Footprints remain one of history's most enduring unsolved mysteries.Get Lunatics Merch here.

In this episode of Unsolved Mysteries Rewind I am joined by Diana and we revisit the tragic 1968 death of 18-year-old Leroy Drieth. After leaving a party at his fiancée's home in Mead, Colorado, his car crashed into a tree. Initially ruled a suicide by the coroner based on hearsay, the case unraveled decades later when his sister Vickie pushed for answers. A 1993 exhumation revealed shocking knife wounds to his neck, pointing to foul play possibly tied to a racially motivated dispute over his interracial relationship.

A broke private eye rides south to explain away a little girl's imaginary friend, and walks out of a pine-country farmhouse convinced the old man pushing her on the swing has been dead for years.EPISODE PAGE (includes list of sources): https://weirddarkness.com/noir-oldmanonsutterlaneTRANSCRIPT: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p84f78kTHE REAL CASE BEHIND THIS STORY: In February 1989, Andy and Lisa Wyrick moved into a brick ranch house on Swint Loop in Ellerslie, Georgia, a small town in Harris County about a hundred miles south of Atlanta. The land had once been an antebellum plantation, and the previous owners had walked off and left the house abandoned long enough for it to go to auction. The following month, the Wyricks' three-year-old daughter Heidi began describing visits from an elderly man she called Mr. Gordy — silver-gray hair, dark suit, top hat, shiny black shoes — who pushed her on the backyard swing. Not long after, a wounded man she called Con appeared at the front door, a bloody bandage on his arm and blood soaking his shirt.Both were eventually tied to deceased local figures. James S. Gordy had run a real estate company in Columbus, Georgia, served for years as Sunday school superintendent at Ellison Methodist Church, and was connected to the Swint Loop property as executor and caretaker before his death. (His death year appears inconsistently across sources, with some citing 1972 and most citing 1974; either way, he died well over a decade before Heidi was born.) Lon "Con" Batchelor had lost his hand in a cotton gin accident as a teenager, returned home in bloodied clothing with his arm in bandages, and died of cancer in 1957. Heidi, who could not yet read, picked Gordy out of a blind photo lineup and walked directly to his grave among hundreds of headstones in a local cemetery. She identified Batchelor — whose name she'd heard as "Con" — from a family photograph brought to the house by Catherine Ledford, who had previously owned the adjacent property and knew the family history.Beginning in 1993, the activity escalated sharply. Heidi and other family members began seeing a black, hooded, faceless figure that moved through the house, stood in Heidi's closet, and appeared at the foot of her bed. Objects moved on their own; a kitchen chair pulled itself from the table in front of two witnesses; scratches appeared on Heidi and her father Andy across consecutive nights. The Wyricks' second daughter, Jordan, born February 3, 1994, later began reporting interactions with an unseen child. Parapsychologist Dr. William Roll — an Oxford-educated psychologist who had spent eight years researching at Oxford before building a scientific reputation studying haunting phenomena — investigated the case. He recorded an electromagnetic field spike to over forty milligauss in the parents' bedroom against a residential baseline near one-tenth of a milligauss, found elevated positive ion concentrations near Heidi's room, and tied her perceptions to environmental sensitivity and documented seismic activity in the Columbus region. He could not explain the scratches. Roll also traced a reported family history of psychic sensitivity across several generations, extending back to Lisa's mother and to land in north Georgia along the Trail of Tears route.Roll brought in medium Amy Allan — later known to television audiences through The Dead Files — who walked the property under blind conditions and identified three entities in the back rooms: two older men and a faceless dark presence. A second psychic, brought in separately by the family, named the same three entities in the same locations and identified the fireplace as a portal. Years of mounting medical bills kept the Wyricks in the house long after they wanted to leave. After Heidi was found suspended upside down above her bed by an unseen force, they sold the property when she reached her mid-teens. She reported seeing apparitions in the homes that followed.Andy Wyrick died in 2012 at age 45; no cause of death has been widely reported. Dr. William Roll died the same year, in February 2012. Heidi Wyrick married a man named Aaron, relocated to Columbus, and built a career in the medical field. She stopped seeing Mr. Gordy around age eight but still reports seeing the dark figure, and has said in interviews across many years that not a day passes when she doesn't wish the events had never happened. The case was featured on Unsolved Mysteries in 1994, profiled in the Discovery Channel's 2002 documentary A Haunting in Georgia, and served as source material for the 2013 film The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia. Heidi's aunt Joyce Cathey published a firsthand account in The Veil: Heidi Wyrick's Story.WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark. Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: June 28, 2026

Send us Fan MailMost horror movies begin as fiction. But sometimes the truth is even more terrifying.In April 1990, Marilynn DePue, a respected Michigan high school guidance counselor and mother of three, vanished after an encounter with her ex-husband, Dennis DePue. What followed was a shocking murder investigation, a terrifying eyewitness account involving a body dumped behind an abandoned schoolhouse, and a desperate cross-country manhunt that captivated the nation.Along the way, we'll explore the chilling encounter experienced by Ray and Marie Thornton, the role that Unsolved Mysteries and legendary host Robert Stack played in helping bring the case to national attention, and the dramatic police pursuit that brought Dennis DePue's flight from justice to an end.We'll also examine how these real-life events inspired the unforgettable opening sequence of the 2001 horror film Jeepers Creepers, and discuss the controversial history of the film's director, Victor Salva.This is the tragic story of Marilynn DePue—a story that proves real life can sometimes be more frightening than fiction.Support the show

Months later, four of them were found dead deep in the wilderness, miles from their abandoned car, while the fifth remained missing. Nearly fifty years later, the Yuba County Five remains one of America's strangest unsolved mysteries—a baffling case filled with unexplained decisions, bizarre clues, and theories ranging from tragic misadventure to murder and conspiracy.

If your idea of a relaxing weekend includes a rogue pit bull at a charity event, a haunted A-frame cabin, and a guy waking up to a stranger standing over his bed, congratulations—you've found your people.This daily comedy episode starts with a huge thank-you to everyone who came out for Operation Food Search and helped absolutely crush the food drive. The listeners showed up, stayed all morning, and filled trucks with donations because apparently our audience enjoys doing good deeds almost as much as they enjoy making poor decisions.Then things get weird.A listener decides that "leash laws" are more of a suggestion than an actual rule and lets his dog roam free through a crowded event full of kids, other dogs, and enough audio cables to shut down an entire broadcast. Somehow the dog behaves better than its owner.Meanwhile, one of us spends the weekend at Innsbrook, where a mysterious painting crashes to the floor at 4:15 in the morning immediately after watching old episodes of Unsolved Mysteries. Was it gravity? Was it ghosts? Was Robert Stack involved? We may never know.And then comes one of the wildest stories we've heard in a while. A heavily armed prepper moves into a new rental home, goes to sleep, and wakes up to find a man standing over his bed. The story somehow gets even crazier when it turns out the "intruder" is a realtor innocently showing the house because of a paperwork mistake. Nobody gets hurt, but everyone involved definitely needs a nap and probably therapy.Elsewhere in this daily comedy chaos:We debate whether Innsbrook is basically the Hamptons of St. Louis.Tim goes full cowboy mode at a Taylor Swift and Dolly Parton-themed party.Riz and Rafe perform a deeply uncomfortable rendition of "Islands in the Stream" at a wedding.Father's Day gifts range from practical torches to futuristic neck fans that look slightly ridiculous but feel amazing.We discuss alpha-gal syndrome, heat waves in Paris, and why every town in southern Illinois suddenly seems to be thriving.Basically, if your week has already gone off the rails and it's only Monday, this daily comedy episode is here to remind you that everyone else is figuring it out as they go too.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Nothing says pop culture nostalgia quite like revisiting the movie that accidentally traumatized half of Generation X and Millennials.     This week on Put Your Books Down, Natalie Sanderson Jones and Angela Bingham revisit the 1993 cult classic Fire in the Sky—the "based on a true story" alien abduction thriller that left viewers sleeping with one eye open. The duo unpacks the infamous Travis Walton case, debates whether they would actually believe a loved one claiming to have encountered extraterrestrials, and revisits the horrifying abduction scene that still ranks among the most disturbing moments in TV and film analysis.     As if UFOs weren't enough, Natalie launches an impromptu Unsolved Mysteries segment featuring the bizarre "Rain Man" case involving spontaneous indoor downpours, demon theories, and Robert Stack nostalgia.     Join Natalie and Angela for humorous commentary, generational perspective, and the kind of viral-culture rabbit holes that remind us why sometimes the smartest thing you can do is put your books down.

What really happened in the Berkshires on Labor Day weekend in 1969? This week, we explore one of the most unsettling UFO cases ever featured on Unsolved Mysteries. Multiple witnesses across western Massachusetts reported seeing the same strange object in the sky, and for some the encounters went far beyond a simple sighting. We dig into personal accounts of missing time, glowing orbs, telepathic messages, paralyzing beams of light, and childhood memories of being aboard a craft that still haunt witnesses more than fifty years later.

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.

Suspect #1 /// Part 2 /// 936 Part 2 of 2   www.TrueCrimeGarage.com On January 22, 1993 a man walked into the Maple Leaf Motel and attempted to rob and kill the owner operator. Hamid Jebailey, owner of the Maple Leaf Motel was somehow able to fight off 24 year old Curtis Huff Junior after being shot at and struck with a tire iron repeatedly. Before he could flee the scene, Huff was taken into custody in Kissimmee, Florida.  By this time Curtis Huff Junior had already earned his habitual offender status after a series of robberies throughout the Midwest in the late 1980's. After his arrest at the motel, police detectives began to take a close and hard look at Curtis, his history, and his possible connection to four unsolved homicides -    Ruth Haut - February 26, 1992  Mary Ellen Wise - November 2, 1992  Antonio Zucco - November 20, 1992  Bonnie Goodson - November 30, 1992    Curtis Huff Junior a man who reportedly had a reputation for charm and sudden violence entered a plea to avoid additional robbery charges. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison and was released July 1, 2005. Since then he has remained a suspect in multiple murder cases and has been looked at for possible involvement in the 2006 unsolved homicide of Helen McPherson in Vero Beach.

On a December night in 1991, four teenage girls gathered at an Austin frozen yogurt shop for what should have been an ordinary evening of work, pizza, friendship, and weekend plans.

For more than a year, a seven-foot creature with glowing red eyes and folded wings terrorized Point Pleasant, West Virginia—and just weeks after the sightings stopped, the Silver Bridge collapsed and killed 46 people, leaving the town to wonder whether the Mothman had been a monster, a warning, or something far worse.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/RedEyesOfMothmanREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8s2fxtFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Most everyone is familiar with the King James Bible, but did you know that King James also wrote a book on demonology during the witch hunts and trials?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November 15, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness, hosted by Darren Marlar, moves from a winged cryptid haunting a West Virginia river town to a Georgia teenager found dead inside a rolled wrestling mat, a Minnesota newlywed who vanished from a restaurant parking lot, and a king of England who wrote a manual on demons.It opens with the Mothman, first reported on November 15, 1966, when two young married couples driving past an abandoned World War II TNT plant near Point Pleasant, West Virginia, spotted a six- or seven-foot gray figure with folded wings and glowing red eyes that rose into the air and pursued their car down Highway 62 at over 100 miles per hour. That same night, contractor Newell Partridge of Salem watched his television fill with a strange pattern before his dog Bandit chased two red eyes toward the hay barn and disappeared forever, and the next day Roger Scarberry described passing a large dog's body near the city limits that was gone minutes later. Over the following year roughly 100 people, including Marcella Bennett, reported the creature alongside UFO sightings and men in black, and on December 15, 1967, the 700-foot Silver Bridge linking Point Pleasant to Ohio collapsed during rush hour and killed 46 people, cementing the belief that the Mothman had been a harbinger of the disaster.From there the episode turns to Kendrick Johnson, the 17-year-old three-sport athlete found dead on January 11, 2013, stuffed head-down inside a rolled wrestling mat in the old gym at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia. Investigators ruled the death an accidental positional asphyxia, theorizing the boy fell in reaching for a shoe, but his 19-inch shoulders could not fit through the mat's 14-inch opening, an hour of footage from all four gym cameras was missing and altered, and his organs were found removed and replaced with newspaper. A second and third autopsy revealed blunt force trauma to his neck and right chest, a fabricated confession recording sold to his family for $1,000 was exposed as a hoax by Sheriff Ashley Paulk, and the case, which once entangled FBI agent Randy Bell's sons Brandon and Brian Bell, was officially reopened on March 10, 2021.Vanishing from a restaurant parking lot is what happened next to Jerrilyn Mullins, a 28-year-old Oakdale, Minnesota, newlywed who left the dinner table at a Chi Chi's in Richfield around 9:00 p.m. on November 15, 1978, and was last seen by her husband's coworker Patrick Melbourne, who said he drove her 22 miles back to a Howard Johnson's and left her there. Her decomposed body surfaced in a Lake Elmo swamp on June 30, 1979, identified through dental records and jewelry, with two autopsies unable to determine a cause of death though her stomach contents placed her killing within an hour of leaving the restaurant. Melbourne, who carried a long record of sexual assault allegations and was later convicted of crimes against a 10-year-old girl, remained the prime suspect; husband Ron Mullins lost a 1989 wrongful-death civil suit for lack of evidence, and the Washington County case stayed unsolved when Melbourne died in 2015.The episode closes with King James VI and I, who returned from a 1589 trip to Denmark obsessed with witchcraft and published Daemonologie in 1597, the only treatise of its kind written by a reigning monarch. In its pages he catalogued the signs of demonic possession, describing superhuman strength exceeding six men, iron-hard skin that could not be pierced, and victims speaking languages they never learned, while arguing that demons inhabit the corpses of the pious and that only prayer and fasting, not Catholic ritual, could repel them. He acknowledged werewolves as men suffering an excess of melancholy rather than cursed creatures, dismissed fairies as illusions sent by the Devil, fixed the ratio of female to male witches at 20 to 1 by reasoning that women were more easily deceived as Eve had been, and produced a work that fueled the European and colonial witch hunts and shaped the weird sisters of William Shakespeare's Macbeth.
