Spooky Times with Eric D

Tonight host Eric Dwinnells takes you to Wisconsin to meet The Beast of Bray Road, a supposed werewolf living off roadkill in the town of Elkhorn.

We'll discuss Linda Godfrey who named the unknown creature and wrote a book about it based on many eyewitness accounts. We'll also learn what local law enforcement has to say about the beast and how it's sudden fame in the early 1990's affected the community.

We'll also try to discover just what people could really be seeing on Bray Road and how both Will Smith and Mick Fleetwood are tied to the story. Plus Eric will tell of his own recent encounter with a mystery creature on a dark country road.

Werewolf, dogman, wolf man, bigfoot, wendigo...whatever it is, you'll learn all about it. All this and more on tonight's Spooky A S!

Tonight's episode is not for the especially sensitive. It deals with some very intense subject matter and NOT in the normal way. Listener discretion is advised.

This week Eric takes on one of the most taboo subject of all time: Necrophilia. Necrophilia is the sexual attraction to human corpses and, happily, cases of nercophiliacs acting on their impulses are fairly rare...but the attraction its self may be far more common than society is willing to admit.

Tonight we'll go over the case of Francois Bertrand, the 19th century necrophiliac who was captured after exhuming multiple corpses and having his way with them. But why did he do it? And how? But mostly WHY?!?!

We'll also discuss some suspected causes and possible therapeutic treatments which may help those with these compulsions.

It's a nasty, morbid and taboo subject, but hey, they can't all be about Punky Brewster!!!

Eric Dwinnells is back to deliver a tribute the pioneering artist, Basil Gogos who created numerous iconic images of some of the sliver screen's most legendary monsters and boogeymen. Many of these images were used to grace the covers of Famous Monsters of Flimland magazine, but he also did artwork for numerous other magazines, western novels, movie posters, and rock album covers including Rob Zombie, The Misfits, and Electric Frankenstein.

Unfortunately, Gogos passed away earlier this month, but on this episode we'll celebrate his life's work and find out why he chose to use so much color in a genre that normally sticks to black, white and grey...with a little red occasionally thrown in. We'll also discover what he considered to be the secret that made his art so impactful and find out what advice he has for aspiring artists.

Also discussed on this episode: Why Eric likes having guests, Salem, MA, Kirk Hammet (of Metallicia) and his love for Basil Gogos as well as his It's Alive horror art exhibit at The Peabody Essex Museum (PEM), Bobby the Brain Heenan, Chiller Theatre, and more!

After battling another summer cold, Eric Dwinnells is back to tell you all about his trip to Salem, NH to visit Mystery Hill aka America's Stonehenge!

The owners of the site would have you believe the caves (well..at least the foundations of them) date back as far as 4,000 years ago. Although they admit that they could have been built by Native Americans, they seem to really want you to believe a yet unknown race of Europeans set up shop in this remote forest in NH THOUSANDS of years before Columbus sailed the ocean blue. But what evidence do they have to support this claim?

There's no doubt it's an interesting spot...but what exactly are the mysteries of Mystery Hill? Is it history or just a hoax?

Also discussed tonight: A possible ghost sighting at George Washington's home (Mount Vernon in Virginia), the sacrificial table and your bedroom, and the underground railroad.

Dipping into the vaults, host Eric Dwinnells presents you with an episode recorded over a year ago! His guest? Tristyn Sepersky. The subject: A very 80's Halloween with Kate & Allie!

Eric held this episode back because he was afraid the subject would only appeal to a select handful of listeners, but encouraged by the success of the recent Punky Brewster episode, he's decided to finally release this "lost episode". And he's happy to do so...he's been watching the Halloween episode of Kate and Allie for 31 years straight! And it's a good one too: It's got 80'd halloween decorations, 80's Halloween masks and costumes, pranks, a ghost, poltergeist activity, messages on mirrors, a seance, the beautiful Ari Meyers, and much more!

Also on this episode: Eric's 1986 Halloween tape, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is The Simpsons a sitcom?, Suicide Squad, Friends, My So Called Life, and "very special episodes".

Eric Dwinnells and guest co-host Kristen Mystery are back with another listener request: Black Eyed Children!

Eric was hesitant to cover the topic as a stand alone episode because he didn't feel there was much to it. After all, they are an internet invention...just another creepypasta not based on any true events...right?

Join Eric and Kristin as they direct the motives and meanings behind the story that brought Black Eyed Children (aka BEC's) into the internet mythos. They will discuss stories about the black eyed children and pay special attention to the tale told by paranormal enthusiast Brian Bethel about his 1996 encounter.

Also discussed on thus episode: bumps in the night, the trend of violent bigfoot stories lately, and the convenience of live streaming paranormal encounters.

DON'T SKIP THIS EPISODE! I know it's not about ghosts or vampires, but hear us out:
Tonight host Eric Dwinnells has invited his nearly life-long friend Jennie Lecesse (aka Blades) over to discuss a childhood trauma that nobody seems to talk about or even remember: The Nightmare World of Punky Brewster!

If you're a child of the 80's, there is a good chance you have fond memories of the precocious little rainbow girl in pigtails known as Punky Brewster...but hold on. How much do you really remember about the show? There was A LOT of creepy stuff going on in several episodes. Sure, you remember when Punky and her friends made their own workout video, or when her foster father, Henry, took her to see The Cubs play, and you may even remember the infamous episode where Punky's friend Cherie got stuck inside a refrigerator. But it got WAY more serious than that.

What about the one where Punky has to fight a demon in a cave? Or the one about a serial killer? Those are the ones we'll be focusing on tonight and warning: it may bring up childhood trauma you've blocked out all these years.

We'll also discuss what REALLY happened to Punky's mom. They say she simply abandoned Punky....but we think she was murdered and we even name a suspect tonight on Spooky A S!
