Raven Mockers: The Cherokee Spirits That Steal A Dying Man's Time | #WDRadio
Something arrives at a Cherokee deathbed wearing the face of a very old man or woman, and the witches and demons want nothing to do with it. They call it the Raven Mocker. ========== HOUR ONE: They're powerful in the supernatural. Witches, demons and poltergeists fear them because they are not from our world. The Cherokee call them the Raven Mockers. (The Raven Mocker) *** Betsy’s Mysterious Flowers *** A girl’s younger sister keeps seeing things that don’t exist – until the truth is revealed when older sis is moving out. (Secrets Between Sisters) *** It’s called the Chronovisor – and it is said the device can look into events in the future as well as the past. Is it true? We may never know – the Vatican, the supposed owners of the device, are refusing to cooperate when questioned. (Does The Vatican Have a Time Machine?) *** An Alaskan hunter claims to have found a boy that had been kidnapped… not by humans or aliens, but by a mysterious creature knows as the ircenrraat. (Abducted By The Ircenrraat) *** It is considered to be one of the most beautiful lakes in the United States. But there are also tales of ghosts, a giant lake monster, unexplained disappearances, and murders. That’s only a sample of what you might find at Oregon’s Crater Lake. (The Creeps of Crater Lake) *** Weirdo family member Candice Cardenas tells of a haunting in her mobile home. (This Ghost Loves Brass) *** Dreaming About Owls ========== HOUR TWO: It all started one night in June 2018. The screams coming from underneath the house. It was so intense, the homeowners simply abandoned the property. I’ll even share audio of the screams so you can decide for yourself if it’s real. (Screams From The Basement) *** Weirdo family member Elis Helmersson shares a story passed down the generations about a true ghost sighting in her family. (My Great Grandfather Saw a Headless Ghost) *** Have investigators finally solved the strange disappearance of Pan Am’s Flight 914? (The Mystery of Flight 914) *** Plus, “Werewolves On The Prowl!” ========== SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT’S SHOW: “Betsy’s Mysterious Flowers” by Brandon Grimes for Paranormality Magazine: (link no longer available) “The Raven Mocker” by Jeramy Neurign: (link no longer available) “Secrets Between Sister” posted at BackpackerVerse: (link no longer available) “Does The Vatican Have a Time Machine” posted at Disclose.TV: (link no longer available) “Abducted By The Ircenrraat” originally published in the Anchorage Daily News: (link no longer available) ““The Creeps of Crater Lake” by Christopher Schulz: http://bit.ly/2LxmZ4N “This Ghost Loves Brass” submitted by Weirdo family member Candice Cardenas “Dreaming About Owls” by Nicole Whitney for Paranormality Magazine: (link no longer available) “The Mystery of Flight 914”: JJ Foster (link no longer valid), Hoax or Fact (link no longer valid) and Snopes: http://bit.ly/2RS2voI “Screams From The Basement” written by Robert Harries (link no longer available); captured audio by Alan Tait:http://bit.ly/2RUdyxv “My Great Grandfather Saw a Headless Ghost” by Weirdo family member Elis Helmersson “Werewolves On The Prowl” by John Beale for Paranormality Magazine: (link no longer available) ========== (Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
