When Conrad King and his father unlocked the secret to manipulating atoms, creating a groundbreaking technology that could shape the very elements, he never imagined it would be reduced to a game—or that he’d find himself trapped inside it, facing a demon, in a desperate bid to stop it from unraveling the world.

Paramedics might not admit it, but spend enough nights in an old, abandoned hospital, and even the toughest start believing in ghosts.

*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*

IN THIS EPISODE: Tonight it’s a story I found just a few days ago at Creepypasta.com called “The Doctor” by a talented new horror author who goes by the moniker TechniGoth (link below). Paramedics are trained to face life and death with calm precision, but what about the unseen forces lurking in the spaces between? In an abandoned hospital nestled deep in the woods, one rookie EMT learns the truth about the profession’s superstitions. Some say the dead don’t clock out, and tonight, she’ll discover just how true that is. This is a bit different than most stories I narrate, as the protagonist is a female – but rather than try to put on a false voice for her, I’ll just use my normal speaking voice for her character. I’m sure that will be the less-annoying way to go. But I’ll still try to create different voices for the rest of the characters as I come to them.

Australia's biggest UFO sighting happened in broad daylight in front of over 200 witnesses — and by the end of that same day, someone made sure every one of them stayed quiet about it.

A family went to DeForest Park in Long Beach, California, on Easter Sunday to hunt for eggs. What they found among the brightly colored plastic shells scattered across the grass was a skull protruding from the dirt.

Between the Texas towns of Denton and Copper Canyon lies Goatman’s Bridge, a haunted relic steeped in sinister legends of lynching, black magic, and a red-eyed demon said to terrorize all who dare to cross.

*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*

IN THIS EPISODE: Legend has it that a brutal lynching and a series of Satanic rituals transformed Goatman’s Bridge in rural Texas into a paranormal hotspot. (The Haunting of Goatman’s Bridge) *** Over six decades later, the brutal, unsolved murders at Lake Bodom continues to haunt Finland... and beyond. (The Lake Bodom Murders) *** A man finds his neighbor laying in the snow, frozen solid – yet somehow she survives. I’ll tell you the miraculous story of Jean Hilliard! (The Hibernating Woman) *** We like to think that 21st Century medicine has brought us more into science and further away from superstition and magic – and that’s mostly true, for the Western World. But in South Africa they’ve not given up the chanting, the dancing, and in some cases… the sacrificing of human lives… all in the name of healing. (Muti Medicine: Ritual Human Sacrifice) *** For anyone who has used a ride-share service like Uber or Lyft, it’s probably happened to you at least once. You’re waiting on your ride to pick you up, you see a car coming your way and you think it’s there for you – only to find out a few seconds later that it’s not. One college girl had this same experience – only she got in to that wrong vehicle, and ended up being murdered for her mistake. (An Uber Mistake) *** The history of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin is wrapped up in Chicago’s wealthiest families having their summer homes there. But even as early as 1912, when people were writing about the city, they said the second most significant thing about this town was the sanitariums. (The Lake Geneva Sanitariums) *** Some old documents were found recently that tell the story of the first time in recorded history that someone was struck by a meteor! (Hit By a Meteor)

A group of children, their mother, and a teenage National Guardsman went looking for a crashed UFO on a West Virginia hillside in 1952 — and found something in the dark that nobody has been able to fully explain since.

*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*

IN THIS EPISODE: The early 1950s was a time of flying saucer mania, with reports coming in from all over on a regular basis – but one particular incident involving a UFO and then a monster sighting in Braxton County, West Virginia is one of the most intriguing and entertaining encounters on record.

SOMETHING SHOT BACK! | During the Korean War, an American soldier opened fire on a strange craft hovering over his regiment — and what happened next left an entire company of men hospitalized, and one man permanently changed for the rest of his life. | #WDRadio APRIL 05, 2026
==========
HOUR ONE: In 1882 the Ma’amtrasna murders, the brutal killing of several members of the Joyce family in rural Galway, caused outrage in Irish society and remains one of the most notorious homicides in Irish history. However a few years later Cork was rocked by an equally heinous case which has largely been forgotten. We’ll look at the brutal murders of four family members that took place in Castletownroche, Ireland. (The Castletownroche Murders) *** An Arizona family encounters a creature from the dark side of a Navajo legend. (The Arizona Skinwalker) *** John Blair liked to keep things “in the family”. But in his case, it wasn’t just a saying. It was literal. Because John was infamous for being bigamous. (Bigamous Blair) *** Dozens of Korean War GI’s claimed an unidentified flying object made them all sick. Theories range from high-tech Soviet death rays to extraterrestrials studying how we engage in battle to combat-stress-induced hallucinations. What actually happened? (The Korean War UFO)
==========
HOUR TWO: In 1761, a young Frenchman died violently. This tragedy would lead to what is still one of that country's most famous cases of judicial injustice. Assuming, of course, that it truly was an injustice at all. (The Mysterious Death of Marc Antoine Calas) *** Most know them as “The Hidden Folk.” The elusive and magical residents of Iceland, who live inside rocks and sometimes play games with unsuspecting passers-by. Are they real? That’s a complicated question, if you ask Icelanders. (The Elves of Iceland) *** As two boys were walking back to the house on their farm, a small stone rolled past them. Then a second one. They immediately thought some other boys were hiding in the scrub and throwing stones for a joke.  They couldn’t have been more wrong. (Stone Throwing Spirits) *** Belle Gunness lured numerous suitors to her Indiana farm. Not to entertain them or to be courted by them. She simply wanted to kill them in cold blood and dump their bodies in her hog pen. (Belle Gunness – The Black Widow of the Midwest) *** "They're going to steal your organs!" screamed Sabina Eriksson, before running toward oncoming traffic on the M6 highway, having already been hit head-on by a Volkswagen. Her twin sister, Ursula, legs crushed by the truck that had just run her over, was spitting and screaming at paramedics on the side of the road. Now, many years after these events, we’re still no closer to understanding the chaos that occurred over two days in 2008 involving psychotic twin sisters on a UK highway.
