On the morning of June 28th 1959 the torso of a white male was found just outside of Attalla Alabama near Gadsden. Just eleven days later they would find another one up the highway in Asheville. The faces of the men were so badly disfigured they were referred to simply as Mr. X and Mr. Y.
Newspapers shouted headlines about the Torso murders from every corner. The entire state of Alabama was in such a frenzy,  that no one even suspected that an unassuming farm girl could be the culprit.

The University of Florida’s campus was on high alert during the fall semester of 1990. That summer, right before school began, two freshman had been brutally murdered by a man named Danny Rolling, but most knew him by the name given to him by the media: the Gainesville ripper.

Typically being murdered by your son in front of 8 family members is considered a bad thing. When you’re part of a deranged mountain cult, it’s just a sacrifice gone horribly wrong.

You wake up in the middle of a still black night and have that strange feeling like someone was just in your room. You can almost feel the breeze their body would have created waft past you. 

Your eye’s dart from corner to corner searching the darkness for anything out of place but find everything as it should be. You sink back into your pillow, yawning your worries away as sleep takes you under. In the morning you stretch and run your fingers through your hair. Your stomach drops and a scream escapes your lips as you realize a chunk of your tresses is missing.

The green hills of Kentucky are no stranger to a spring shower or two. But on March 3rd, 1876, the town of Olympia Springs in Bath County got a shower of a different kind. Large chunks of flesh rained down from the sky in what has come to be known as The Great Kentucky Meat Shower.

Santa Clause. St. Nicholas, Krampus, Black Peter, Belsnickle. This time of year we always hear about the naughty and nice men of the Yuletide season, but what about the wicked ladies of the holidays? 

If Santa gets Mrs. Clause, who does Krampus get to go home to after a long night of punishing bad children?

Tonight’s tale is a short ghost story written by Algernon Blackwood for Pall Mall Magazine in December 1908 called The Kit Bag.

Shortly after Christmas a young man named Johnson, a law clerk for lawyer named Arthur Wilbraham, witnesses a grotesque murder trial that haunts him.

So, cuddle up, dim the lights, and let me read to you.
