Nothing was spared in bringing this historic re-creation to life.

This may be Mystic Sciences Theater’s crown jewel of action, drama, and historical re-creation — the story of Pompeii’s final hours, when Mount Vesuvius destroyed the ancient city on August 24, 79 AD.

For this cinematic production, voice actors were selected from the very region where the tragedy of Pompeii unfolded nearly two thousand years ago. Marcus Petronius is portrayed by Alessandro Ambrosio, a resident of modern Pompei, Italy, the city beside the ancient ruins themselves. Lucia Petronius is performed by Sandra S. from the Puglia region of Italy. Pliny the Elder, Admiral of the Roman Navy, is voiced by Marco Liguori, originally from Naples — only about 10 miles, or 16 kilometers, from ancient Pompeii.

Although the production is presented primarily in English, select lines are performed in Italian to heighten the authenticity of the re-creation and draw listeners more deeply into the world of ancient Roman Italy.

Nearly 15,000 people awaken beneath Mount Vesuvius. By nightfall, the sky will turn black, the mountain will explode, and only one in three will survive.

This is the story of Marcus and Lucia Petronius, their young son, and their desperate escape by donkey cart through darkness, ash, fire, and terror as Pompeii dies behind them.

Across the Bay of Naples, Pliny the Elder sees the monstrous cloud rising into the heavens. Rather than turn away, he sails toward the disaster, attempting to rescue those trapped near Stabiae as death rains from the sky.

With intense action, surreal volcanic sound effects, dramatic music, and a historically grounded story told with no holding back, this is more than an episode.

It is an immersive journey into the final hours of one of the most famous disasters in human history.

Close your eyes.

Listen carefully.

Experience the Last day of Pompeii.

Legends of London invites listeners deep into the shadowed heart of England’s most haunted city, where history refuses to stay buried. In this episode, we explore five of London’s most chilling supernatural legends—each rooted in real places where the past still whispers after dark.

We begin at the Tower of London, where the restless spirit of Queen Anne Boleyn is said to walk the ancient stones, head tucked beneath her arm, condemned to roam the fortress where her life was taken. From there, we journey north to the Spaniards Inn, a centuries-old coaching house haunted by highwaymen, duels gone wrong, and ghostly figures seen lingering by candlelight.

The trail continues to the Viaduct Tavern, long rumored to conceal something far darker beneath its foundations, and then to the infamous Ten Bells Pub, forever linked to Jack the Ripper and the final drinks of his doomed victims. We conclude at 50 Berkeley Square, once called the most haunted house in London, where witnesses have reported unearthly apparitions, madness, and even death.

Blending documented history, eyewitness accounts, and eerie atmosphere, Legends of London reveals a city where time bends—and some souls never leave.

The Mothman Chronicles – Mystic Sciences Theater

Step back into one of America’s most chilling legends with The Mothman Chronicles, presented by Mystic Sciences Theater. This episode transports listeners to Point Pleasant, West Virginia, where in 1966 and 1967 eyewitnesses reported a terrifying winged creature with glowing red eyes. Known as the Mothman, this being was said to haunt the skies near the old TNT plant and was later linked in eerie coincidence to the tragic collapse of the Silver Bridge.

Through immersive narration, voice actors, sound effects, and atmospheric music, we bring these haunting encounters vividly to life. You’ll hear the fear of the Scarberrys and the Mallettes as they confront the creature on a lonely road, and the escalating dread that swept through the town as more sightings followed. The story builds toward the fateful night when the Silver Bridge gave way, plunging cars and lives into the icy river below.

Is the Mothman a harbinger of doom, a misunderstood cryptid, or something far more otherworldly? Join us as we explore the mystery with gripping detail, dramatic reenactments, and a soundscape designed to make you feel as though you are there.
