IN THIS EPISODE: If you are convinced that someone you know is possessed, never try to exorcise the demon on your own – always call an expert. One woman didn’t do that. (My Couch Is Possessed By The Devil) *** When the unsinkable ship, the Titanic hit an iceberg and sent 1,500 people to an icy grave, why did many people blame it on the curse of a mummy – a mummy that wasn’t even onboard the ship, but was sitting in a British museum? (Did a Mummy’s Curse Sink the Titanic)...

How much truth is behind the story – and how does fit into the age-old narrative of soldiers, knights, and heroes battling against and vanquishing giants and monstrous creatures? (The Giant of Kandahar) *** Soon after the Cranmer family moved in to their new home on Brownsville Road, it became clear that they were not alone. (The Demon of Brownsville Road) *** The Elephant's Foot was created after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 when reactor 4 exploded, releasing a lava-like mass of radioactive material called corium. So radioactive that it’s still dangerous if you try and see it for yourself today. (The Elephant’s Foot of Chernobyl) *** When something horrifying happens, it’s natural to tell others about your experience. But what if, no matter how much you explain it, people simply don’t believe you? We’ll look at numerous stories from people who have true tales that they have a hard time getting even friends and family to take seriously.

Some people go out and get a second job. Others look at what they have to sell online, or look at what skills they have to offer to the public that they could charge money for. Or you can go the route of Georgia Tann – her entrepreneurial spirit brought her millions of dollars. And it was a simple idea. Steal other people’s children, and then sell them! (How To Get Rich By Stealing and Selling Children) *** We’ll look at some historic serial murderers and the strange and unusual ways they killed their victims. (Strange Predilections in Murder Methods) *** When it comes to planning the burial of someone, it’s always best to to keep in mind that whomever is watching how you treat the deceased might be in charge of deciding what happens to you when you die. Sadly, one undertaker, Millard F. Rodgers, apparently forgot about the golden rule – and committed gruesome acts against families. (Six Children, One Grave) *** Residents in the town of Blakeney are reporting something horrifying prowling around the neighborhood and backyards… something they describe as a devil dog… a hell hound… a black shuck.

Never Challenge A Suspected Witch – “EXORCISM” by Ray Bradbury, a Fun Creepy Story! #WeirdDarkness
Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicate Info on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScream IN THIS EPISODE: It’s Thriller Thursday where I bring you stories of sci-fi or horror fiction. The name Ray Bradbury immediately brings to mind such fictional tales – classics, many of them… some of which I’ve narrated here in the podcast such as “The Jar”, “Skeleton”, and a disturbing one I recently posted here called “The Small Assassin.” But as good as Bradbury was at writing about the paranormal, he could also write comedy – and in tonight’s story he combines the two. “Exorcism” is a fun short tale about a nosy housewife who suspects an older woman in town is studying to become a witch… and decides to confront the old lady to voice her disapproval. SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE… “Exorcism” by Ray Bradbury, from the book “The Stories of Ray Bradbury” from Rosetta Books:https://amzn.to/49nrJTG Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = = (Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
