February 25 239: The Red Room (Classic Horror Stories)
THE RED TREEHOUSE IS DEDICATED TO MY DAD.
I LOVE YOU, POP.

Join me in The Red Treehouse as I narrate a terrific classic horror story--The Red Room, by H.G. Wells.
First published in 1896, The Red Room by H.G. Wells is a gothic horror story about a man who spends a night in an allegedly haunted room in Lorraine Castle.
A hardened skeptic, the man sets out to disprove the legends as nothing more than myth and fable; but as he settles in, he gets more than he bargains for.
A tight, psychological horror story, The Red Room reminds us that sometimes what scares us the most isn’t ghosts or spirits or demons or poltergeists—but our fear of the unknown.
Now it’s time to sit back, turn down the lights, pull up the covers, and pay close attention as I read The Red Room by H.G. Wells.

February 15 The Possession Files: 6 Demons, 67 Exorcisms
The Possession Files is a Red Treehouse exclusive series, where we go in-depth on the most harrowing--and often tragic--stories of alleged demonic possession.
In season 1, we're going to explore one of the most well-known cases: Anneliese Michel.

To this point, the line between faith and science, medicine and religious conviction have tracked side by side; but, as the summer of 1975 draws to a close, Anneliese, her family, and religious leaders, will lean into the strong conviction that the only way to save Anneliese was exorcise the demons possessing her.
In this episode of The Possession Files, we’re going to explore the exorcisms of Anneliese Michel.
Was she truly demon-possessed? And if so, were the exorcisms effective in bringing relief?
As Anneliese’s story progresses, we’re going to see that tragedy lies
just at the horizon, and every day that passes—and with every exorcism
performed—that horizon draws closer.
I’m your host, Will; and together, let’s explore The Possession Files: The Trials of Anneliese Michel.

February 11 236: The Moonlit Road (Classic Horror Stories)
THE RED TREEHOUSE IS DEDICATED TO MY DAD.
I LOVE YOU, POP.

Join me in The Red Treehouse as I narrate a terrific classic horror story--The Moonlit Road, by Ambrose Bierce.
First published in 1907, The Moonlit Road by Ambrose Bierce is a gothic horror story that tells of the murder of Julia Hetman—and the varying perspectives on the event.
Part psychological horror, part mystery, The Moonlit Road features
unreliable narrators—including the ghost of Julia Hetman.
Though one of Bierce’s less-known short stories, to me this is one of his best. With terror at the forefront, we discover how a snap-decision rooted in jealousy can destroy multiple lives—and how the mind may be the darkest and scariest place of all.
So, sit back, turn down the lights, pull up the covers, and pay close attention as I read The Toll-House

February 02 234: The Toll-House (Classic Horror Stories)
THE RED TREEHOUSE IS DEDICATED TO MY DAD.
I LOVE YOU, POP.

Join me in The Red Treehouse as I narrate a terrific classic horror story--The Toll-House by W.W. Jacobs.
First published in 1907, The Toll-House by W.W. Jacobs, is a classic ghost
story that tells of four friends who spend the night in an allegedly haunted house.
Skeptics by nature, the four undertake the challenge to test their courage.
But it’s been said, “if you play with spirits, they may play with you...”
And for Jack Barnes, Meagle, Lester, and White—they soon realize exactly what that means. This one is dark and will get under your skin.
So, sit back, turn down the lights, pull up the covers, and pay close attention as I read The Toll-House
