“Silent Shock”: She rented the house for the view — for the ageless, indifferent sea outside every window, for the poems she planned to write, for the phone calls to the men she used to love. But the housekeeper wasn't a housekeeper. The groundsman wasn't a groundsman. The little pink pills weren't vitamins. And somewhere out past the fog, a great white ship was drifting closer to shore… carrying the one man she'd been waiting fifteen years to kill. | #RetroRadio EP0638 CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)… 00:00:00.000 = Show Open 00:01:30.028 = CBS Radio Mystery Theater, “Silent Shock” (September 07, 1977) 00:45:58.247 = Everyman’s Theater, “Cat Wife’ (October 18, 1940) 01:14:57.244 = Murder By Experts, “The Big Money” (July 25, 1949) 01:44:22.965 = Exploring Tomorrow, “Secret That Cannot Be Cracked” (April 23, 1958) 02:04:00.956 = Faces in The Window, “Black Cat” (November 22, 1952) ***WD 02:27:40.978 = Dark Fantasy, “Superstition Be Hanged” (March 13, 1942) 02:51:54.169 = BBC Fear on 4, “Snowman Killing” (January 03, 1988) 03:20:34.628 = Five Minute Mysteries, “Murder Under Tent” (mid 1940s) 03:25:28.740 = Future Tense, “A Pail of Air” (May 20, 1974) ***WD 03:52:41.177 = BBC Ghosts From The Past, “Black Stockings and Broken Mirrors” (April 08, 1992) 04:36:22.865 = BBC Haunted Tales of the Supernatural, “Legal Rites” (May 15, 1982) 05:04:21.055 = Show Close (ADU) = Air Date Unknown (LQ) = Low Quality ***WD = Remastered, edited, or cleaned up by Weird Darkness to make the episode more listenable.

In 1921, the thriving Black community of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was turned to ashes in one of the deadliest and most deliberately buried acts of racial violence in American history. FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Greenwood Avenue featured luxury shops, restaurants, movie theaters, a library, pool halls and nightclubs… until late May and early June of 1921. Then a brutal race riot took place in thissuburb of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Which is tragically ironic, watching the news and seeing what is happening all over the USA today. You could almost think that nothing has changed. We’ll look at what happened in Greenwood, Oklahoma over 100 years ago.
