IN THIS EPISODE: We spend plenty of time watching the stars and listening to radio signals. We hope we can finally find the evidence we are not alone in the Universe. We eagerly await our first official contact with extraterrestrials, but nothing ever happens. Sometimes we learn an odd signal has been picked up in space and we get our hopes up again, only to be told later it was nothing more than a neutron star with a very large magnetic field, throwing off the bursts, or something similar. So, where are the aliens we want to hear from and possibly meet? If we assume that we are not the only intelligent species in the universe, then they must be out there. There are many theories, but one stands out as particularly disturbing.

“THE WENDIGO” by Algernon Blackwood #WeirdDarkness

If you like the podcast, please leave a review in the podcast app you listen from, and share a link to the podcast on Facebook and Twitter to invite others to become Weirdos too!
IN THIS EPISODE: “The Wendigo” is a novella written by Algernon Blackwood. It was originally published in the 1910 collection “The Lost Valley and Other Stories” which I’ve placed a link to in the show notes. The story involves a hunting party that gets separated in the Canadian wilderness in search for moose. One of the party members is abducted by the legendary Wendigo. Fellow author Robert Aickman once said of the story, it’s "...one of the (possibly) six great masterpieces in the field". Here’s hoping you agree with him.

“JOSEPH BELL: THE REAL LIFE SHERLOCK HOLMES” and More True and Strange Stories! #WeirdDarkness

If you like the podcast, please leave a review in the podcast app you listen from, and share a link to the podcast on Facebook and Twitter to invite others to become Weirdos too!
IN THIS EPISODE: According to some ancient beliefs people born under certain hours, known as chime hours, are gifted with special abilities, like seeing beyond the visible realm. (Born In The Chime Hours) *** Weighing just 75 pounds, he was billed as both the Ossified Man and the Living Skeleton. We’ll look at the tragic real-life story of Jonathan R. Bass and others who have suffered the same malady known as ossification. (History of the Ossified) *** It doesn’t take long before a family discovers the house they just moved into might have another entity already living there. (Jensen Street) *** She wanted to be the next Marilyn Monroe – but instead, Dorothy Stratten got pulled into a deadly world of fame, porn, and violence, and the men who kept on exploiting her even after she was dead. We’ll look at the tragic life and death of Dorothy Stratten. (Death of a Centerfold) *** Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes first appeared in print in “A Study in Scarlet”, in 1887. But in reality, Holmes had already been alive for decades. Literally alive – and was, in fact, a man named Joseph Bell. (Joseph Bell, The Real Life Sherlock Holmes)

“WORKING FOR H2O” (PARTS 1 & 2) #WeirdDarkness #CreepypastaThursday

If you like the podcast, please leave a review in the podcast app you listen from, and share a link to the podcast on Facebook and Twitter to invite others to become Weirdos too!
IN THIS EPISODE: Last May, Weirdo family member Sarah Faith sent a story that I narrated called “Working for H2O”. It was a short story, but there was a lot of feedback on it, to the point people were asking if there was a sequel. Well… now there is. But for those of you who have not yet heard the first story, I’m including it here first – and then after the break I’ll return with Part 2!

“WHY ARE YOU SO POSSESSED WITH ME? #WeirdDarkness

If you like the podcast, please leave a review in the podcast app you listen from, and share a link to the podcast on Facebook and Twitter to invite others to become Weirdos too!
IN THIS EPISODE: It’s April 1st, All Fools Day! Rather than doing a prank episode as many other podcasts will likely do today, I thought I’d take a slightly different route and instead tell a story that fits the day and is both dark and comedic. It’s a tale created specifically for this April Fool’s Day episode; written by Mary Eitzenberger. Adapted from an original story by Nicholas Paul Pontoski. It’s called, “Why Are You So Possessed With Me?”

If you like the podcast, please leave a review in the podcast app you listen from, and share a link to the podcast on Facebook and Twitter to invite others to become Weirdos too!
IN THIS EPISODE: By all observable accounts, Herb Baumeister was an admire-able family man, living on a beautiful million-dollar estate and farm with his lovely wife and three children. But they were also sharing that estate with a very dark secret that would eventually be revealed thanks to on of their children accidentally stumbling upon the grave of one of Herb’s numerous murder victims. (The Serial Killer Next Door) *** Behind his quiet demeanor lurked a brutal killer. He was eventually caught, but perhaps not brought to complete justice. Though Robert Hansen admitted to murdering seventeen people, one woman most all are sure he murdered is Beth van Zanten – but he insists she was not one of them. (Robert Hansen, The Alaskan Serial Killer) *** He's confessed to a staggering 93 murders thus far—and the FBI believes all his confessions are credible. (Samuel Little, The Prolific Killer) *** Numerous women met a gruesome end on Robert Pickton's isolated pig farm. He confessed to the killing of 49 – but there could be more. (Pickton The Serial Killing Pig Farmer)

“CLOSE ENCOUNTER ON POT MOUNTAIN” and More Terrifying True Paranormal Stories! #WeirdDarkness

IN THIS EPISODE: Have you heard of the “Death Positive” movement? Would you visit a Death Cafe? Would you join a Coffin Club? Why the sudden positive twist on what is typically so morbid? What’s so great about death? (Discourse At The Death Diner) *** When it comes to homes, the ghosts go bump in the night. When it comes to automobiles, do they go honk in the night? (Cursed Cars and Haunted Hoopties) *** Airline pilots in the UK are reporting strange objects in the sky. Not just one pilot, but several. And not just one UFO, but many. And the sightings were close. Very close. So close that they are being described as “near misses”. (Airliners Almost Crash Into UFOs) *** In today’s world, parents often worry about whether their kids are eating healthy and getting a good education, and in the case of long car trips, whether the children have their phones fully charged. It’s tough being a modern parent, but at least you don’t have to worry like Europeans did about your spawn being snatched by fairies. (Child Snatching Fairies) *** Two men go out for a weekend of elk hunting – and come back with the story of a creature so strange they don’t know what to call it. (Close Encounter at Pot Mountain) *** At a downtown Chicago church, people are turning up in droves – not for the preaching or the powerful worship band – but to see a painting of the Virgin Mary, crying real tears. (The Crying Madonna)
