    When Madge and Arthur arrive at Mrs. Meadowsweet's country guesthouse, they're unsettled by the unnatural bliss and vague detachment of the other guests. As Mrs. Meadowsweet works to draw them into the same serene state, they realize that accepting the guesthouse's strange comforts might mean losing something far more precious than their worries… they might lose their individuality. BBC’s Spine Chillers presents, “Mrs. M!” | #RetroRadio EP0512

  • HORROR ON CHASE STREET: The Smurl Family’s Thirteen Years of Hell, Hauntings, and Demonic Possession
    For thirteen years, the Smurl family reported being terrorized by invisible forces in their Pennsylvania duplex - entities that threw their German Shepherd against walls, sexually assaulted both Jack and Janet, and somehow knew to hide whenever priests came to investigate. The Catholic Church sent multiple clergy who witnessed nothing, the Warrens recorded hours of supposed evidence, and neighbors threw bricks at the house during the media circus, but no one could definitively prove whether the Smurls were victims of a genuine haunting or something else entirely.

    When Lord Cameron's archaeological team pried open the sealed tomb of an ancient Egyptian king, they laughed at the hieroglyphic warnings of death carved above the entrance. Within days, the expedition's laughter turned to screams as one by one, the curse claimed them all, proving that some doors between the living and the dead should never be opened. | #RetroRadio EP0511

  • WHAT THE HECK IS A HUMPTY DOO POLTERGEIST? #WDRadio WEEK OF SEPT 14, 2025
    HOUR ONE: We are all familiar with humans’ desire to fly. There are many legends about flying horses in various parts of the world, and they all have common characteristics that make them difficult to dismiss as only aviation dreams of the ancient people. Do some myths and legends reveal ancient people had sufficient technical knowledge to produce sophisticated flying machines? (Ancient Mechanical Flying Horses) *** A man in China claims to have been abducted by aliens not just once… not just twice… but three times. But will you believe his story after hearing the details? (Flying on an Alien’s Back) *** There’s an odd grave marker at Riverside Cemetery in Wahpeton, North Dakota – and an odd story that goes along with it. I’ll tell you about the strange obelisk draped in rope and chains. (The Wahpeton Circus Grave) *** Those who walk along the wooded Hinds Road in Gadsden, Alabama should be wary, for there is a legend that residing there is a witch who sold her soul to the devil. (The Gadsden Witch of Alabama) *** You may think that a ghost referred to as ‘Humpty Doo’ might be fun-loving and perhaps even a little goofy. However, Humpty Doo is an Australian slang term that means everything is being turned upside down...and, fittingly, it is also the name of the town where some bizarre poltergeist events took place. (The Humpty-Doo Poltergeist) *** Plus, from Paranormality Magazine - “Haunted Rockville, Indiana!”

    HOUR TWO: 
We travel to the Antarctic – onto it, over it, and under it… and find some strange, and often terrifying things during the trip. (Antarctic Apparitions And Eerie Enigmas)

  • THE YUBA COUNTY FIVE: 5 Men Disappeared on a Mountain Road - What Happened Next Makes No Sense
    Five men went to a basketball game in 1978 and somehow ended up on a mountain road 70 miles in the wrong direction, where they abandoned their working car and vanished into the wilderness. When searchers found some of them months later, the evidence made even less sense than their disappearance… including finding the body of one man who died of starvation despite being surrounded by food.

  • TIME TRAVEL IN THE BIBLE: Real Biblical Examples That Defy Physics
    Scientists say time travel requires bending space-time, manipulating gravity, or approaching light speed. The Bible says God did it with a word - and the evidence might surprise you. From boats that teleport instantly to shadows that run backward on sundials, the Bible contains documented cases of time manipulation that mirror modern quantum physics. In this message, we explore what happens when the Creator of time decides to break His own rules of space and time.
