ELMER VERSUS THE MUTANT RATS! | Paranormal, Mystery, and Crime Old Time Radio!

HOUR ONE: If their walls could talk, lighthouses could share many stories from the past. Unfortunately, these objects don’t have the ability to tell their tales – but the phantoms that haunt them just might. ========== HOUR TWO: Is it possible that the monster your child sees under the bed or in the closet isn’t imaginary after all? We look at some true stories of people coming face to face with monsters in their own home. (When The Monster in the Closet is Real) *** Even for those immersed in Ufology, for many, a certain controversial subject is so troubling and disturbing they choose to outright ignore it, and seldom speak of it. It’s the question – are UFOs stealing humans’ souls? (Soul-Stealing Extraterrestrials) *** Stories of prisons housing the spirits of the dead is already dreary, but in England there is a prison called “The Cage” - and the haunting spirits there are real-life witches. (The Prison Haunted by Witches) ========== SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: People have said they feel drained after seeing Black-Eyed Kids, or exhausted when speaking with whom they later discovered was a self-proclaimed vampire. Is it possible that otherworldly, ghostly entities, interdimensional creatures, and even occultist human beings are, in some way, literally feeding on us?

But on the flip side, there are books written who give all credit to the ghost writers… because those ghost writers are literally authors who are ghosts. (Paranormal Prose: Books Written By Ghosts) *** When getting married, it’s always best to tell your future spouse everything about yourself – no matter how sordid it might be. For if the news comes out after you’ve taken your vows, not only might it lead to divorce – but it could also lead to murder! (A Double Murderer Murdered) *** And while we’re on the subject of marriage device – it’s also never a good idea to cheat on your spouse, not matter how powerful and influential you are in society. That too can lead to brutal murder, very possibly your own, as Harvey Burdell found out. (Bond Street Tragedy) *** There are numerous eerie tales of the supernatural involving ghost brides and haunted wedding dresses. It makes you wonder if you plan on saying “I do”, if you’re not also welcoming a residual haunting once “til death do us part” arrives. (Ghostly Bride of America) *** It happened in September of 2022 – hundreds of students all across the country of Mexico just fainted with no warning, while those around them were perfectly fine. Authorities still aren’t sure they have found the explanation. (The Case Of Passed Out Pupils) *** Berkely Square is one of the most famous places in London, known for its beautiful garden and upscale living. Winston Churchill once lived here, as did Charles Rolls – cofounder of Rolls-Royce. The location has also been used for works of fiction, such as the television miniseries “Berkeley Square”, and even the home of fictional character Cathy Lane – Patty Lane’s “identical cousin” from “The Patty Duke Show” on television. But Berkely Square also has a dark side – a building in the middle of the square, said to contain something not of this earth. (The Indescribable Beast of Berkely Square) *** But first… look out men, if you are approached by a beautiful woman seemingly out of nowhere – remember the saying: “if it’s too good to be true, it probably is.” She may be less interested in your looks or money – and more interested in whats on your insides. Literally. We begin there! (Kidney Crooks) ABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

In 1896, Pearl Bryan's headless body was found in Kentucky—but her missing head has never been recovered, and locals claim her ghost still haunts the infamous Bobby Mackey's nightclub where Satanic rituals may have cursed the ground.

But does history bear out the disdain we have for him? (Does the Marquis de Sade Deserve The Hate?) *** Connie Converse wrote and performed trailblazing music in the 1950s, but one day in 1974, she drove off looking for a fresh start — and was never seen again. (The Strange Disappearance of Singer-Songwriter Connie Converse) *** Jack Pyle was a hermit and a recluse, living in a tiny shack – selling the fish he caught out of the river to supplement his income. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t have money, which might’ve been the reason someone killed him. (Death of a Miser) *** Napoleon Bonaparte is known as one of the greatest military commanders in history, and his battles and ambitions changed the shape of Western Europe. But it seems that the only foe that could best this great man was small and fluffy. (Napoleon Versus The Bunnies) *** For centuries, bizarre physical conditions, strange health-based occurrences, and questionable treatments have gained widespread attention, only to be exposed as frauds. We’ll look at some of the strangest! (Medical Hoaxes) *** In 1896, 22-year-old schoolteacher Pearl Bryan was found dead. But after her killers were found, tried, and hanged, her story continued to fascinate the public even to the point of having folk songs sung about her. But it wasn’t her beauty that inspired the songwriters so much as it was that she was found without her head.
