DON'T FEED IT: The Hungry Thing That Fell On A New York Farm | #MidnightInTheMacabre

3 October - 37 mins
Podcast Series Weird Darkness: Paranormal & True Crime Stories

A grayish-black disk the size of a truck tire turns up in the ditch by a professor's front lawn in upstate New York, and whatever touches it, from a clod of dirt to the end of a spade, dissolves into it; by the next day, it's eight feet across. A blowtorch, and a sledgehammer don't do any better against it.

It opens in Andrea Cordle's backyard, where the Grove City Messenger writer is brushing off a caller's push for a werewolf article when a howl rises from the tree line and something large gallops after her to the back door. From there it follows Sean Dyer, a homesick boy dropped off with his Uncle Curtis and Aunt Jade for Halloween weekend while his parents close on a new house in North Carolina; the town is under a sundown curfew that no adult will explain, and a police officer sends Sean and his uncle home from Tammy's Pizza on Broadway before dark. The next morning the TV news reports that a beast crashed through the front window of Skylark's Toys and Comics and attacked owner Darren Neff, and at the Grove City Visitor Center, Teresa Breckenridge quietly tells Sean that people all over town have seen a giant wolf walking upright on two legs. By Sunday a second attack has made the news, police are urging everyone to stay indoors, and Sean takes a fifty-dollar job helping Reese, the friendly neighbor with a dog named Bongo, clear out his cluttered attic.

HAUNTED HALLS AND CURSED CLASSROOMS: True Ghost Stories From America’s Most Haunted Colleges

From phantom students and haunted dorm rooms to ghostly professors and cursed frat houses, these college campuses prove that “school spirit” can have more than one meaning – where classes might get dismissed, but some students never leave. EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/HauntedColleges READ or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8tjcym FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Classes are now back in full-swing for college students, and many high school juniors and seniors are already in the process of choosing a college to attend in the future. But after hearing about some haunted college campuses, you might choose to change your mind about your chosen universities… or change your major to parapsychology. (Haunted Colleges) *** Weird stories about Area 51 almost all stem from the belief that the government is most likely hiding UFO technology or aliens there. You probably know most of your Area 51 knowledge from movies like “Independence Day” or television programs such as “The X-Files”. But what about the real world? Are any of these stories based on truth? (Tales and Legends of Area 51) *** Weirdo family member Alex shares how fleeing an abusive father brought some comfort from an unexpected source. (Guardian Angel) *** Soon after her disappearance, Dorothy Jane Scott's family began receiving chilling calls from an unidentified caller.  (A Killer Calls) CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)… 00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding 00:00:41.497 = Show Open 00:02:34.322 = Haunted Colleges 00:24:26.294 = Guardian Angel *** 00:26:06.791 = Tales And Legends of Area 51 00:34:45.911 = A Killer Calls 00:40:12.100 = Show Close *** = Begins immediately after inserted ad break LISTEN ON PODCAST APPS:  Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.
