March 27, 2024 Thrifting Fail — A Yard-Sale Bowl Brings a Ghost Home
A one-dollar ceramic bowl follows a couple home from a yard sale—and will not stay where they put it. In Bruce Haney’s “Thrifting Fail,” Sarah and Keith’s search for a vacuum cleaner ends with a strange piece of pottery stamped “Sylvester.” Moving objects become a presence in the bedroom, and research into the missing artist makes their bargain harder to explain. This haunted-object story turns secondhand shopping into domestic dread. Sarah and Keith only wanted something cheap. What do you do when the previous owner seems to have come with it?

March 25, 2024 Monthly Spooky | Vanishing Hitchhikers, Bugs in Your Nose, and a Ghostly Love Triangle!
A vanishing hitchhiker, an abandoned asylum and a claimed romance with a ghost lead Monthly Spooky’s March 2024 conversation. Henrique Couto and Michelle explore roadside folklore alongside stranger headlines: an Alabama radio station’s stolen tower and an unsettling report about insects in a nose. A spectral passenger may disappear, but some of these stories are much harder to get out of your head. The hosts bring curiosity and skeptical humor to supernatural love, places people fear and one very physical kind of invasion.

March 18, 2024 Terrifying & True | The Hinterkaifeck Murders — Six Deaths and Signs the Killer Stayed
Six people died at Germany’s Hinterkaifeck farm in 1922, and signs suggested someone remained there afterward. Terrifying & True examines the isolated household, reports of unexplained activity before the killings and the investigation that followed the discovery. Written by Morgan Moore, this episode distinguishes evidence from the rumors surrounding the attic, footprints and suspects. The crime scene drew crowds, but no conviction brought clarity to the family’s final days. Who approached the farm—and why might the killer have stayed to tend it? We're telling that story tonight.

March 17, 2024 Unknown Broadcast | The Tell-Tale Heart — Boris Karloff’s Nightmare of Heightened Hearing

Unknown Broadcast presents an Inner Sanctum adaptation inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, expanding the familiar story into experimental medicine, jealousy and sensory terror. When sound becomes impossible to escape, even silence offers little comfort. This radio nightmare gives a heartbeat the power to turn a private crime into an accusation.

March 11, 2024 Terrifying & True | Bill Sparkman — The Census Worker Death Staged to Look Like Murder
Bill Sparkman’s death in a Kentucky cemetery initially looked like an attack on a census worker. Terrifying & True revisits the 2009 investigation, the “FED” marking that fueled speculation and the forensic findings that challenged the first interpretation. Police concluded that Sparkman had staged his suicide to resemble a homicide, a finding some loved ones struggled to accept. This episode examines how an alarming scene became a national political story before the evidence was understood. What happens when the apparent message of a death obscures its cause? We're telling that story tonight.
