Diana Gonzalez says a stranger on the steps of the Arctic Club Hotel in downtown Seattle called her "the inferior race", grabbed her, and bit a piece of flesh about an inch across out of her forehead; on Monday, a judge ordered a competency evaluation for the woman charged, 36-year-old Kamilia Chadli.

People living and working in remote areas often encounter things far creepier than just silence. These are real-life stories of unsettling encounters, from faces at the window to gruesome discoveries deep in the woods. EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/ForestHorror READ or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8cuh5y FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: People who live and work in remote areas know that sometimes too much quiet can make your mind race. However, some experiences stick with people long after they occur because of the degree of creepiness. On Reddit, plenty of people who live in rural areas or make their livelihood there, share their scary stories for the rest of us to freak out over. We know that often strange people linger around woods, parks, and other desolate areas. And we have all heard plenty of the kind of creepy stories that backpackers experience. However, in this episode, the stories are more than a little unpleasant, because the people who suffered them weren't just out and about anywhere; they were at their homes, or doing their jobs. Imagine living in the woods, and looking up from your bathtub to see a face looking back at you. Or imagine you are working as a forest ranger and come across a thumb nailed to a tree. Tonight I will share some of the terrifying real-life stories, stories that are the stuff of nightmares.

In July 1969, six frightened people told Fort Worth police they'd been attacked near Greer Island on Lake Worth by something half-man and half-goat, covered in fur and scales, and within days hundreds of armed hunters were combing the woods for a creature nobody has been able to put a name to in the more than fifty years since. ========== HOUR ONE: “Jerry Meets A Sasquatch” *** Greer Island, a small patch of land close to where the West Fork of the Trinity River flows into Lake Worth, is heavily shaded by tall oaks, cedar elms and cottonwoods. One of the quietest spots in Fort Worth, the island is home to egrets and owls, perhaps an alligator or two. And maybe, just maybe, the Lake Worth Monster. (The Lake Worth Monster) *** In 2017, Washington State Senator Karen Keiser was quoted as saying, “The incidents continue, they continue, and we have to consider that there is potential cosmic life over the island… it’s a very special place, with a cosmic presence.” What exactly happened on Maurey Island in 1947? (The Maurey Island Incident) *** Whether you’re a true believer or one of those skeptics, stories of spirits haunting the living from the confines of a Ouija board can chill you to the bone, and make you think twice before communicating with entities from another dimension. (True And Disturbing Ouija Board Stories) ========== HOUR TWO: Did she drown? Did she commit suicide? Despite her death in 1889, we still don’t know how Maggie Hourigan died. (The Mystery of Maggie Hourigan) *** In 1958 Gavin Gibbons wrote a children’s science-fiction novel By Space Ship to the Moon, which featured a UFO landing on Moel Sych in the Berwyn Mountains of North Wales. Sixteen years later, in a surreal case of life imitating art, those very same mountains would again be the focus for a story involving a downed UFO. But this time, some said, the story was for real. (The UFO Case That Refuses to Die) *** What if creatures like gnomes and imps aren’t just real – but also evil? (Nasty Gnomes, Evil Imps and Terrifying Tommyknockers) ========== SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT’S SHOW: BOOK: “UFO Down?” by Andy Roberts: https://amzn.to/2WYffOY BOOK: “By Spaceship To The Moon” by Jack Coggins: https://amzn.to/2UTayDp BOOK: “The Lake Worth Monster of Greer Island” by Sallie Ann Clarke: https://amzn.to/2JuWICg PHOTO: “Lake Worth Monster” photo by Allen Plaster: https://tinyurl.com/v9xsgwa “The Mystery of Maggie Hourigan” by Robert Wilhelm for Murder by Gaslight: https://tinyurl.com/y4rkkm66 “The UFO Case That Refuses to Die” by Nick Redfern for Mysterious Universe: https://tinyurl.com/tsxhnvu “Nasty Gnomes, Evil Imps and Terrifying Tommyknockers” by Brent Swancer for Mysterious Universe: https://tinyurl.com/Something Small, Something Evil | Demonic Gnomes That Terrorize and Torment the Living: https://tinyurl.com/wk36c2j “The Lake Worth Monster” by Chris Vaughn for NBC 5 in Dallas/Ft.
