NOTE: I mention in the audio that the story was edited by Winslow Swan. I was incorrect in that - it was Crimson McKenzie who did the amazing audio adaptation writing! IN THIS EPISODE: I bring you a production for my friends at the YouTUbe channel, “Doorway to Nightmare”. Since we discovered each other recently I’ve had the privilege to play voice roles in many of their productions, including this one… Edgar Allan Poe’s “Masque of the Red Death”. While I’m about to share with you the audio version, Doorway To Nightmare is a YouTube channel and they do produce videos for each of their stories – so if you’re interested in seeing the video version of this story, I’ve placed a link to it in the show notes.

And it’ll likely show up again somewhere this year as well. In this episode we’ll look at how Nosferatu isterrifyingly relevant even still today, the controversial making of the film – and the lawsuit by Bram Stoker’s wife, how the director of the film was involved in the occult… and how you would not have wanted to miss the film’s premiere which was an unforgettable, epic event all by itself. That and a whole lot more about 1922’s Nosferatu, on this episode of Weird Darkness.

Scholars believe that these tragedies gave birth to the story of Hansel and Gretel. (The Grim True Story Behind Hansel and Gretel) *** Cultures all around the world have stories of tiny humans – elves, leprechauns, fairies, hobbits… but how can so many different communities have such similar descriptions of tiny people? Could there be evidence to prove the existence of tiny humanoids? (Little Human Subspecies) *** Traveling to the Superstition Mountains in search of the rumored treasure hidden there is not only a bad idea… it could be a fatal one. (Mysterious Visitors From Other Realms) *** Seeing an unidentified flying object in the sky is pretty common – even in cases where several people see the flying whatever-it-is at the same time. But when is the last time you and everyone around you looked up and saw an entire city flying in the sky? That’s what happened in 2011 in the Nigerian village of Bauchi. (UFO City) *** But first… according to GPS, off the California coast there are dozens, possibly hundreds of ships moving around in circles. But the ships, while clearly visible on the GPS system, are nowhere to be seen by the human eye. Are these ghost ships from the past? The oceanic version of crop circles? Sailing ships from a different dimension?Or could it be something more disturbing, like a new type of cyber attack? We begin with that story.
