I thought moving into my grandparents' cabin would bring peace and solitude — but now, every creak, shadow, and whisper tells me I'm not alone. As the nights grow colder, an unseen presence stalks me from the darkness, waiting for the moment I let my guard down. Perfect for fans of True Scary Stories, Deep Woods Horror Stories, and unsettling tales that blur the line between reality and nightmare.

When a mother heard her own voice from five hours earlier coming through her baby monitor, she realized she was witnessing something that shouldn't be possible—a tear in time itself. What would you do if you walked into a movie theater and suddenly jumped three hours forward, or if your car transported 20 miles in an instant to escape a traffic stop? A Victorian man appears in 1950s Times Square, two women slip back to Marie Antoinette's era, and a father and son lose an entire day in five minutes. These people swear they've experienced time slips, dimensional rifts, and impossible jumps through time—and their stories might make you question reality itself.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE for the ad-free version: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: Time travel, time slips, lost time, traveling to other dimensions and realities.

Send us a textHere at EBC we're no stranger to creepy campfire tales. And we love a good urban legend. But for kids growing up in Staten Island in the 80s, the spooky lore was a little too specific. Fireside tales warned of a mysterious killer named 'Cropsey', who was said to live in the tunnels under the abandoned psychiatric facility nearby, and would sneak out at night to steal children. Kids were taught to stay out of the woods, and watch out for Cropsey hiding in the shadows.  It was a fun and thrilling tale, until children started disappearing. This week on EBC, we cover the truly twisted tale of Cropsey aka Andre Rand, the scariest serial killer you've never heard of.

vægmaleriet.En: There it was, behind her - the mural.Da: Et øjebliks månelys brød ind gennem et smadret vindue og afslørede værkets skønhed.En: A moment of moonlight broke through a smashed window, revealing the beauty of the work.Da: Farverne, figurerne og det skjulte budskab var overvældende.En: The colors, the figures, and the hidden message were overwhelming.Da: Freja stod stille, fanget af det ukendte kunstners talent.En: Freja stood still, captivated by the unknown artist's talent.Da: Med ny energi skyndte hun sig tilbage til Mads og Kasper, der engsteligt ledte efter hende.En: With renewed energy, she hurried back to Mads and Kasper, who were anxiously searching for her.Da: "Jeg fandt det!"En: "I found it!"Da: råbte hun.En: she shouted.Da: Hendes støvler sparkede blade op, mens hun hastigt løb hen til dem.En: Her boots kicked up leaves as she quickly ran to them.Da: "Det er fantastisk."En: "It's amazing."Da: De kiggede lettede på hende.En: They looked at her with relief.Da: Sammen forlod de lageret, hun forrest med et smil, bredt som skyerne.En: Together, they left the warehouse, with her leading the way and a smile as wide as the sky.Da: Turen havde skubbet hende ud af sin komfortzone, men hun stod nu stærkere, mutigere og med en ny forståelse for det, der kan findes, når man vover at kigge det ukendte i øjnene.En: The trip had pushed her out of her comfort zone, but now she stood stronger, braver, and with a new understanding of what can be discovered when daring to look the unknown in the eye.Da: Frejas indre ild glødede.En: Freja's inner fire glowed.Da: Hvis dette var skattene, hun kunne finde i det glemte bylandskab, hvad ville der så vente næste gang?En: If these were the treasures she could find in the forgotten urban landscape, what would await next time?

In 1940s Italy, a desperate mother believed that turning three women into soap and tea cakes would save her son from dying in World War II.HOUR ONE: "It was a terrible sight… I have seen horrible sights, but never anything like this.” Those were the words of the local undertaker after seeing the results of a triple murder laying before him in 1932 Pennsylvania. (The Axe Murders of Lykens) *** A gypsy once told Leonarda that all of her children would die before her.  A different fortuneteller  told her that she faced either a future in prison or in a criminal asylum. And the reason she gave for becoming a serial killer is something you'd hear out of a bad direct-to-video horror film. And that's a tiny sample of this woman's insanely dark life – which began even before her birth. (The Woman Who Made Soap) *** Ireland's Loftus Hall is considered by many to be the most haunted location on all the Emerald Isle. But the most infamous story of Loftus Hall begins not with terror, but with romance… with a beautiful young girl falling madly in love with… the devil. (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) ==========HOUR TWO: 7-year-old Maria went missing in 1957, and while her body was later found, her murder was never solved and the case went cold – until 50 years later when the case was finally solved and closed. But it turns out everybody was wrong. (A Cold Case Finally Solved… Then Unsolved) *** If you take State Route 375 through Nevada you will pass by the infamous Area-51. But of course they are not going to let you in, even if you ask nicely. But State Route 375 isn't called the Extraterrestrial Highway just because of one area you can't visit – there's a lot more to it than that. (The 98-Mile Extraterrestrial Highway) *** Hikers sometimes get lost in the woods, as do children of course. But those on bikes almost never disappear; but there is one tragic case of a fat tire rider who couldn't be found. (The Vanished Mountain Biker) *** In 1910 two witnesses see a pair of lights that transform into radiant beings with “human form.” You might dismiss the report as misidentification of ball lightning or some other natural explanation – but in 1952 those radiant humanoid beings of light were seen again! (Close Encounters of the Fairy Kind)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: More of the story of Ireland's Loftus Hall and the young girl who fell in love with the devil! (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) *** Chlorosis was a frequently diagnosed disease during the 19th century that gave the skin of the afflicted a greenish tinge. As a cure, doctors told young women to get married and reproduce. As you can probably surmise, the cure was not in the least bit effective. (The Girls Who Turned Green) *** Have you heard of the poor girl who was bullied and pushed down into a sewer by those whom she thought were her friends? I'll tell you the story. And while this episode is not a creepypasta episode, so all the stories are supposed to be non-fiction, that is… true, I will be sharing this urban legend anyway – because when it comes to urban legends, sometimes it's best to err on the side of caution and simply assume they are true. (The Urban Legend of Carmen Winstead) *** Weirdo Family member Brad Hicks describes the experience as “cool… and creepy as hell”. We'll tell you his story. (The Thing In The Light) *** More of the story of Ireland's Loftus Hall and the young girl who fell in love with the devil! (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil)==========SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT'S SHOW:BOOK: “The Fairy Faith in Celtic Countries” by W.Y.

In 1950, a teenage babysitter's frantic call to police was cut short by her brutal murder - a real-life horror that would evolve into one of America's most chilling urban legends and inspire countless retellings, including the classic horror-thriller film "When a Stranger Calls."Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: Joyce Vincent was a 38-year-old woman from London with a family and friends. So why did it take over two years for people to realize she had died? (No One Noticed She Was Dead) *** A castle in Scotland is so cursed that it has continued for several generations. (The Centuries Old Curse of Fyvie Castle) *** Year after year a 1950 photo from a German newspaper has continued to circulate amongst Ufologists and UFO enthusiasts.

Auch fast 50 Jahre nach dem viel zu frühen Tod von Elvis Presley im August 1977 mit nur 42 Jahren gibt es Menschen, die nicht akzeptieren können oder wollen, dass der King of Rock ’n‘ Roll nicht mehr unter uns weilt. Immer wieder gibt es Sichtungen, und es gibt zahllose Bücher und Erzählungen, die uns erklären wollen, warum der „King” seinen Tod nur vortäuschte und heute, von der Öffentlichkeit zurückgezogen, lebt. Endlich haben wir uns dieser prototypischen Verschwörungserzählung angenommen und ganz genau hingeschaut. Ihr findet unsere Umfrage hier. Wie man uns unterstützen kann, könnt ihr hier nachlesen.

First, Ben and Celestia discuss the needle-spiking panic fallout, missing kids in Virginia, screw worms, radioactive shrimp and seeing double in Las Vegas. Then our main segment is secret signs and signals! Real or legendary, these signs and markers are throughout human history to tell "those in the know" what to expect (food, sex, danger). From secret codes sewn into quilts to help the Underground Railroad effort to rock cairns and inukshuks, there are many tales of people making an effort to show others a safe path. We also look at the ancient bro code known as Masonic symbols, which manly men have been putting on their erections for generations. And of course we must touch on the world of swinger symbols, where anything from pineapples to a toe ring might be sending signals -- or just giving people a laugh.
