“THE LANDLADY” BY ROALD DAHL #WeirdDarkness #ThrillerThursday Please SHARE Weird Darkness with someone who loves paranormal stories, true crime, monsters, or unsolved mysteries like you do! Recommending the show to others helps make it possible for me to keep doing the show! IN THIS EPISODE: "The Landlady" is a short horror story by Roald Dahl. It initially appeared in The New Yorker, on November 28, 1959. Dahl once said that he had always wanted to write a ghost story but never quite been able to. The closest he came, in his opinion, was the story about to share with you… “The Landlady.” But after reading through his own story afterward, he doesn’t think he really succeeded with this effort. Nonetheless, the tale won "Best Short Story Mystery" at the 1960 Edgar Awards. So for this Thriller Thursday episode, I bring you “The Landlady” by Roal Doah.

A child goes missing and against all odds is found a few years later across the world. But what would happen next no one could even believe. (The Unbelievable Case of Nicholas Barclay) *** The most detailed description of a lake monster in recent history is one from Lake Okanagan – and it’s a story you likely have never heard. (Ogling Ogopogo) *** “However frightening they look at first, they are not demonic, and they do not seriously injure people or spread plague; on the contrary, they long for forgiveness and peace, but being unable to take any initiative themselves must wait for a living man to ask what the trouble is, and offer help; they can then confess, be absolved, and find rest through Masses and prayers offered on their behalf.” A quote about the ghosts of Byland Abbey. (The Ghosts of Byland Abbey) *** Sixty years after the Hills said they encountered extraterrestrials, their story still packs a punch. It’s a case that is all about firsts and it changed the world.

IN THIS DARKIVE EPISODE WITH STORIES FROM MAY 2018: In spring of 2015, the Great Barrington Historical Society & Museum formally inducted the infamous Reed case of alien encounters. But is the Reed family alien abduction a valid historical fact - or UFO fan fiction? (Reed Family Alien Abduction) *** Weeping statues are nothing new, and believers claim they are miracles without much investigation. However, the Vatican proves them to be hoaxes almost 100% of the time. The latest is the statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe in New Mexico. Will this be the one that finally convinces the Vatican of a true miracle? (Weeping Statue) *** Had Leonarda Cianciulli's life not been so muddled by superstition, curses, and Romani fortune tellers, she may never have murdered at all. (She Turned Her Victims Into Soap and Teacakes) *** The mysterious Men in Black… are they government agents? Time travelers? One man who experienced them first-hand has a different theory. And we’ll look over a few separate incidents of people experiencing the Men in Black. (The MIB: I Knew They Were Evil) *** A family keep seeing black creatures in their home with no explanation of where they came from – or where they go. (Black Creatures on the Isle of White) *** On May 30, 1883, a stampede took place on New York's Brooklyn Bridge, killing 12 people -- all because of a bizarre rumor! But the bridge has always had a strange history. (Death On The Brooklyn Bridge) *** If humanity were to receive a message from an extraterrestrial civilization right now, it would be the single greatest event in the history of civilization. But according to a new study, such a message could also pose a serious risk to humanity. (If We Receive A Message From Aliens Should We Delete It Without Reading?) *** With as many people that pass on while being treated by EMTs, it should probably be no surprise that phantoms might be encountered in an ambulance. (Haunted Ambulance) *** There was no doubt that Thomas Joy was murdered by gunshot – but the witnesses all had different stories, as did the police. What really happened? (Who Shot “Tonce” Joy?) *** If you believe your house is haunted, it’s best not to try and confirm it by using a Ouija board. Nothing good can come from that. (Ouija Halloween) *** In 1928, a young boy mysteriously disappears after his mother gives him a dime to spend on admission to the local theater. But that is just the beginning of this very twisted true story.
