A Strange Darkness Radio Holiday Event — Hosted by Benson

Step into the frost-covered shadows of Christmas night as Strange Darkness Radio presents a chilling holiday anthology hosted entirely by our spectral guide… Benson.

In this special Christmas edition, Benson returns with a lantern in hand to lead you through seven haunting folklore legends drawn from ancient winter traditions. These are the spirits the carols forget, the shadows the lights try to chase away, and the reminders that in winter… anything is possible.

Journey with us as we encounter:

❄️ Gljúpni — The Hollow Boy of Ice

A frozen child who measures kindness in the cold.

❄️ Hodeken — The Goblin of Secrets

A tiny Christmas spirit who exposes hidden truths.

❄️ The Kallikantzaroi — Greek Underworld Goblins

Creatures who nearly destroy the world every year.

❄️ The Mari Lwyd — The Horse Skull That Wants In

Lose a rhyme, and she crosses your threshold.

❄️ The Christmas Bell Witch

A voice you miss… calling from the frosted dark.

❄️ The Red Dancers

Crimson frost spirits who wait for one misstep.

❄️ The Phantom Sleigh of the Dutch Marshes

Silent… soundless… deadly.

Each tale flows into the next like a cinematic winter journey, culminating in an original haunted Christmas carol: “Winter Things That Walk.”

From Bobby Washington and all the hosts of Strange Darkness Radio —

thank you for an incredible year of mysteries, stories, and supernatural adventures.

We hope you enjoyed this Christmas folklore special.

Merry Christmas… and may your shadows stay outside.

Hosts: Bobby Washington • Vanessa Scaduto • Ed DonGilli

Special Guest: Author Tim Moon

Tonight, something familiar returns… and something brand-new steps into the light.

We welcome back author and explorer Tim Moon, the mind behind the eerie and unforgettable Tomato Fields. Tim teases the hidden shape of his upcoming follow-up book and shares stories from his continued search for Bigfoot—those wild-footed mysteries that wander the borders between our world and something older, deeper, stranger.

But Tim’s journey has also taken him somewhere unexpected—

not into the woods… but into the glow of the digital frontier.

Tim reveals how he now uses artificial intelligence as an ally—a companion, a creative friend, a tool that walks beside him as he explores new ideas. Nothing replaces the human spark, but AI has become another lantern he carries into the dark.

And that’s where the conversation sharpens.

The panel leans into the question:

When does partnership become reliance? And when does reliance start to blur the line?

A gentle friction rises, a push-and-pull between excitement for what AI can do… and caution for what it might do in a world racing toward the unknown.

Tonight also marks a milestone:

Ed DonGilli makes his main show debut, stepping up from the Bonus Show with passion, sincerity, and that unmistakable “Larry David of Strange Darkness Radio” charm—

a blend of heartfelt truth, offbeat timing, and grounded wisdom that brings a whole new frequency to the studio.

He’s real. He’s thoughtful. And he’s here to stay.

Together—Bobby, Vanessa, Ed, and Tim—

we explore the intersection where folklore meets futurism,

where Bigfoot’s shadow crosses paths with the rising light of artificial intelligence.

This is Strange Darkness Radio… where the past and future meet in the dark.

In this Thanksgiving Special, host Bobby Washington sits down with cohosts Amy Tydeman, Marlee Grounds, Ed DonGilli, and Kyler Jackson for a rare and intimate round-table conversation about how the show has shaped their beliefs, their curiosity, and their personal growth.

Instead of sharing a traditional holiday meal, the team reflects on the moments that challenged their assumptions about the supernatural — the stories that stirred old memories, shifted their perspectives, or opened doors to possibilities they hadn’t considered before. Together, they explore the balance between skepticism and wonder, and what it means to walk the line between what’s explainable and what remains a mystery.

Bobby also pays tribute to the voices who helped build the show’s foundation: Tony Carr, Frankie Franks, Vanessa Scuduto, and Carolyn Grey — honoring the journey, the contributors, and the spirit that helped shape its evolution.

This episode is thoughtful, candid, funny, and deeply human — a warm Thanksgiving reflection on belief, growth, teamwork, and the mysteries that keep them returning to the mic.

The bonus crew returns with another strange dive into the unknown — this time, into the dark waters of Lake Lanier, a man-made lake in northern Georgia with a history as deep as it is haunted.

Before the episode begins, the hosts catch up on life. Ed DonGilli’s been busy scouring yard sales and estate cleanouts, uncovering rare curiosities — including a few items bought from a funeral home liquidation. Only Ed could make that sound like a normal weekend.

Then, we head below the surface of Lake Lanier — a lake built in the 1950s that swallowed whole towns, cemeteries, and memories. Over the years, it’s earned a grim reputation: strange drownings, ghostly sightings, and rumors of restless spirits from the flooded past. Marlee, Kyler, and Bobby peel back the layers — the history, the hauntings, and the questions no one can quite answer.

What lingers beneath those waters? What happens when the past is buried but not gone?

🎧 Strange Darkness Radio – Bonus Episode: Lake Lanier

Hosts: Bobby Washington | Marlee Grounds | Ed DonGilli | Kyler Jackson

The bonus crew dives into the dark legend of Lake Lanier, one of America’s most haunted lakes.

Before we wade into those eerie waters, we catch up with the crew — and of course, Ed DonGilli’s been out treasure-hunting again. From yard sales full of oddities to a funeral-home liquidation, Ed’s been collecting the kind of strange relics only he could find.

Then we turn to the mystery beneath the surface — a man-made lake built over once-living towns, cemeteries, and roads. Since its creation in the 1950s, Lake Lanier has claimed hundreds of lives and spawned countless ghost stories: the Lady of the Lake, phantom boats, and spirits said to rise from the depths.

Join Bobby, Marlee, Ed, and Kyler as they explore the chilling history, hauntings, and unanswered questions surrounding the lake that refuses to stay quiet.

🕯️ Another eerie and entertaining journey with the Strange Darkness Radio bonus crew.

This Halloween, Strange Darkness Radio welcomes back Carolyn Grey for a night of eerie reconnection. We explore the chilling phenomenon of “Phone Calls from the Dead,” inspired by the work of D. Scott Rogo and Raymond Bayless, who first documented true cases of people receiving calls from beyond.

Between discussions, we share three real listener stories from Reddit—each one a haunting encounter with voices that shouldn’t exist. Amy Tydeman also returns with her Creepy Questions: Halloween Edition, adding the perfect twist of darkness to an already spectral night.

It’s a séance through sound and a reminder: when the phone rings this Halloween, think twice before you answer.

Step right up… if you dare.

This Halloween, Strange Darkness Radio returns with its most unhinged tradition yet — The Slasher’s Gauntlet. Hosted by the ever-chaotic Whispers the Clown, the Gauntlet pits horror’s most feared killers against one another in a battle soaked in screams and satire. Leatherface, Ghostface, and Chucky stalk the arena once more — but in this twisted game, no blade stays dull for long.

Whispers leads you through each round with his own brand of sinister humor, testing who has what it takes to survive the night. It’s equal parts bloodbath and circus — a Halloween ritual where the laughs are as sharp as the knives.

🩸 The Halloween Special 2025 — Slasher’s Gauntlet Edition is officially open. Step into the ring… but don’t expect to walk out clean.

Episode 69 – Listener Stories: Danny Coleman’s Paranormal Experiences | Strange Darkness Radio

In this episode of Strange Darkness Radio, we welcome one of our own listeners — Danny Coleman — who steps out of the audience and into the spotlight to share his true paranormal experiences.

From playing in old cemeteries as a child to witnessing haunted apparitions within his own home, Danny’s life has been shadowed — and perhaps guided — by the unseen. His journey through the strange and supernatural parallels his passion for sound, as the longtime host of the acclaimed music program Rock On Radio, heard Sundays at 7 p.m. EST on ThePenguinRocks.com.

In this conversation, we explore the echoes between haunted mysteries— where frequencies blur, and the living world hums with the ghost of another.

Welcome to the Strange Darkness Radio family.

What happens when the paranormal isn’t the only shadow you’re facing—when the weight of real-world change calls you into the unknown?

In this bonus installment, hosts Bobby Washington, Kyler Jackson, and Ed DonGilli revisit Ed’s full story of leaving California behind. Along the way, they reflect on the late Dan Rivera and his eerie tour experience with the infamous Annabelle doll, while Bobby hints that Carolyn Grey may return to Strange Darkness Radio.

The conversation stretches into the road ahead—Ed shares plans to explore haunted sites in Pennsylvania and attend the Mothman Festival, opening doors to future investigations. The hosts also look back at last year’s Halloween special featuring the original Slasher’s Gauntlet, a chilling game show created for listeners. This year, Slasher’s Gauntlet returns for Halloween 2025 with a new lineup of horror icons: Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Ghostface from Scream, and Chucky from the Child’s Play films.

On this bonus episode of Strange Darkness Radio, host Bobby Washington is joined by co-hosts Ed DonGilli and Kyler Jackson for an unforgettable journey into the world of the paranormal—told entirely through Kyler’s own chilling experiences.

For the first time, Kyler opens up about his childhood sensitivities to the unseen, a terrifying encounter with moving and whispering picture frames, and a life-changing out-of-body experience that redefined his understanding of reality. Together, the hosts unpack these stories with a balance of open-minded curiosity and critical thought, exploring the science, spirituality, and mystery behind such encounters.

This episode dives deep into:

• Kyler’s early experiences sensing unseen forces and what it means to be spiritually sensitive as a child.

• The chilling story of the “whispering pictures” that appeared alive, speaking in hushed voices, and reacting when caught watching.

• A vivid, transformative out-of-body experience and what science and spirituality say about OBEs.

• Related phenomena including sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming, astral projection, and psychic abilities.

• How these moments shaped Kyler’s fascination with the paranormal and changed him on a personal level.

• A thoughtful discussion about skepticism, intuition, and validating supernatural experiences.

Listeners are also invited to reflect on their own paranormal encounters, share their stories, and join the conversation about the mysteries that surround us all. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, this is a haunting and deeply personal episode you won’t forget.
