But I’m guessing you’ve not heard about what some call “The Vampire Beast” of Bladenboro.

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.
