The website is fighting back. The good news — the problems are partly due to high traffic, which means you people keep showing up and I appreciate that more than I can say. The bad news — bots and spiders are crashing the party. Between server overloads, bot invasions, and what may or may not be an actual spider problem, Weird Darkness is running at reduced capacity this week. Morning episodes and Retro Radio are on hold while I get everything moved to better servers. Regular episodes will post when possible, and Weird DarkNEWS will pop up in short bursts as the admin dashboard cooperates. Thanks for your patience — and if you're looking for me in the meantime, I'll be updating my Tiddlywinks resume.

When Alison Conklin woke up with a stranger's heart beating in her chest, she also woke up with a stranger's appetite — a lifelong meat eater who suddenly couldn't stomach the thought of it, along with memories of songs she'd never heard and moments she'd never lived. She's not alone. Nearly 90 percent of transplant recipients in one study reported personality changes after surgery — new food cravings, unfamiliar emotions, even fragments of someone else's life bleeding into their own. *No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast* IN THIS EPISODE: On a Saturday night in 1948, Boston cab driver Samuel Paris was shot in the back of the head by a passenger — and investigators believe he knew it was coming, because in his final seconds he quietly slid his wristwatch up his sleeve to hide it, then deliberately crashed his cab into a parked car to make sure someone would see the man who killed him. The killer walked away. The meter was still running when police arrived. It's never been solved. (The Unexplained Mystery and Unsolved Murder of a 1948 Taxi Driver) *** Most people assume UFOs mean alien visitors, but researchers are uncovering evidence that points to possibilities far stranger — from classified black projects and reverse-engineered Nazi technology to time travelers, interdimensional beings, and ancient civilizations that predate recorded history. The answer to what's really in our skies may not come from the stars at all, but from somewhere much closer to home. (What If UFOs Aren’t From Space) *** Scientists have discovered that humans possess a previously unknown ability to sense objects buried in sand before physically touching them — a skill previously observed only in shorebirds like sandpipers. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London tested volunteers who were asked to drag a finger through sand to locate a hidden cube, and found they succeeded far more often than random chance would predict. Even more impressive, human participants outperformed a sophisticated robotic arm equipped with AI, achieving 70.7% accuracy compared to the robot's 40%. (The Hidden Seventh Sense In Humans) *** A heart transplant saved Alison Conklin's life — but it also gave her someone else's memories, someone else's favorite songs, and someone else's stomach, because the moment she woke up from surgery, she could no longer eat meat. Scientists call it cellular memory, the theory that organs carry traces of their donors into new bodies, and the evidence is harder to dismiss than mainstream medicine would like to admit.

As of March 24, 2026, Nancy Guthrie's location and condition remain unknown. Anyone with information is asked to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324), call 520-351-4900, text 88-CRIME, or submit a tip at tips.fbi.gov. Investigators now believe someone was casing Nancy Guthrie's Tucson home weeks before she was kidnapped — and the FBI's own analysis of her doorbell camera is what pointed them to the exact date. *No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast* WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.

Researchers in Japan have built a working virtual copy of the human brain — personalized to each individual — and the results are raising serious questions about what medicine might look like in the near future. *No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast* PRINT VERSION: https://weirddarkness.com/DigitalBrain WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.
