This one comes from the book, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Stories Not For The Nervous” published in 1965. However, the story I’ll be telling tonight, “The Abominable History of the Man with Copper Fingers,” was originally published in 1928 in a collection of stories by Dorothy L. Sayers called “Lord Peter Views the Body” – with each story in that anthology centering around the character of Lord Peter Windsor.  SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE… “The Abominable History of the Man with Copper Fingers” by Dorothy L. Sayers.

“INNER SANCTUM MYSTERIES” Multi-Episode Marathon 05 #WeirdDarkness #RetroRadio

“INNER SANCTUM MYSTERIES” Multi-Episode Marathon 05 #WeirdDarkness #RetroRadio

Get full-length pulp audiobooks, pulp eBooks, and old-time radio shows ABSOLUTELY FREE FOR IMMEDIATE DOWNLOAD by emailing WeirdDarkness@RadioArchives.com! A creaking door and a chorus of haunting organ music. No radio show opening is more memorable for many fans than the one heard on Inner Sanctum Mysteries. This disturbing simple salvo led people into thirty minutes of suspense and horror sprinkled with puns from a creepy host, all of which can now be heard again in sparkling audio quality from Radio Archives. Inner Sanctum Mysteries was the brainchild of producer Himan Brown, inspired by the unsettling creaking door in the basement of a studio where he once worked. Brown took that inspiration and built around it a formula that lived on beyond the show itself. Listeners tuned in every week to hear that door open and be welcomed by the sinister, yet often humorous host to join him in a chair near the fire inside the Inner Sanctum for a story sure to chill them to the bone. Stories on Inner Sanctum Mysteries originally included both classic and original tales, the new stories taking center stage as the show continued. With writers like pulp scribes Emile Tepperman and Robert Newman, as well as Robert Sloan, Milton Lewis, and others, it is little surprise that Inner Sanctum is still beloved by fans today. Utilizing numerous clichés and literary devices, Inner Sanctum Mysteries carried listeners into the heart of horror, a liberal dose of camp often thrown in. Using voices ranging from star Boris Karloff to a veteran crew of New York radio actors, Inner Sanctum set the standard for horror programs both on radio and even inspired decades of horror hosts on television. Inner Sanctum Mysteries features some of the best of fright, terror, and fantastic storytelling old time radio has to offer! 00:00:00.000 = INTRODUCTION 00:01:54.794 = Silent Hands (May 13, 1944) 00:27:22.570 = Color Blind Formula (February 06, 1944) 00:54:04.079 = Desert Death (January 09, 1945) 01:23:28.344 = Death Is An Artist (January 23, 1945) 01:53:04.463 = Death In Depths (February 06, 1945) 02:22:41.875 = No Coffin For The Dead (February 20, 1945) 02:51:22.581 = The Bogoak Necklace (April 10, 1945) 03:21:04.222 = Judas Cock (April 17, 1945) 03:51:01.269 = Song Of The Slasher (April 24, 1945) 04:20:17.344 = Girl And The Gallows (May 01, 1945) 04:48:36.847 = Black Art (May 15, 1945) SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS… This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.com Weird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46 Find out how to escape eternal darkness at https://weirddarkness.com/eternaldarkness WeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

“THE TRUE STORY OF THE POLTERGEIST GIRL” and More True Stories! #WeirdDarkness

“THE TRUE STORY OF THE POLTERGEIST GIRL” and More True Stories! #WeirdDarkness

IN THIS EPISODE: In 1846, a 14-year-old peasant girl from rural France caught the attention of the country and eventually the world because of a strange current of electricity running through her. Angelique Cottin, a girl of small stature, was suddenly and uncontrollably moving furniture weighing hundreds of pounds across the room. In the end, over 2,000 witnesses saw the unexplainable phenomenon. Of the few recorded cases of psychokinesis throughout history, even fewer are as bizarre as the story of Angelique Cottin, AKA the Poltergeist Girl. (The Poltergeist Girl) *** The Codex Gigas... a colossal manuscript steeped in mystery. Not just in it’s pages, but in its origin. Is it true that a monk penned the pages after striking a deal with the devil in order to complete it? (Codex Gigas: The Devil’s Bible) *** When you think of people living in medieval times, what do you see? People with bad teeth and breath? Witches being burned? Women had no rights or jobs? People tossed their urine and feces in the street? They thought the earth was flat? Hold up… are you sure about that last one? (The Dark Ages And The Flat Earth) *** In 1941, in the quiet town of Media, Pennsylvania, a horrific crime shocked the community. Two elderly sisters, Elizabeth Watson and Belle Geary, were brutally attacked, leading to Elizabeth's death and Belle's prolonged suffering. As authorities honed in on a suspect, 14-year-old John Leeds emerged as the prime candidate. Despite his confession, his mother staunchly defended him, sparking a legal battle that gripped the nation. (The Octogenarian Murders) *** Are whales dangerous? Most would note that, given from the danger associated with such a large animal, there is a certain risk in getting close to one. But most would also note that whales have a curious, gentle temperament and physical violence from one is very unlikely. Unless, that is, you consider those times when they literally explode.

“TOO EVIL TO LIVE” and More Tales of True Crime and the Paranormal! #WeirdDarkness

IN THIS EPISODE: He was described as a man “too evil to live”. We’ll look at the brutal life of crime of Carl Panzram, a man some said was the personification of rage. (Too Evil to Live) *** Did a Nikola Tesla experiment cause the Tunguska Blast? (Tesla’s Death Ray) *** Bizarre happenings were centered around the Eddy home. The house was reported to be infested with supernatural beings of such numbers that had never been reported before, or since. The events were so powerful and strange, people came from all over the world to witness them. (People From Other Worlds) *** A woman’s newfound ability to astral project has her coming face-to-face with someone she never expected to see. (Astral Projection and Mom’s Message) *** The Mountain Meadows Massacre has been hailed by historians as "the most hideous example of the human cost exacted by religious fanaticism in American history until 9/11." Ironically, it too occurred on September 11th – in 1857. (The Mountain Meadows Massacre) *** If you spend the night amongst the dead in a graveyard, don’t be surprised if something supernatural happens to you. (I Spent The Night In a Graveyard) *** An old man regrets not obeying his wife’s dying wish. (The Stubborn Piano) *** Over 200 lobotomies were performed at the Ridges Asylum – without anesthesia or an operating room. Is it any wonder why it’s now considered to be haunted? (The Ridges Asylum) *** A Vietnam veteran has his first paranormal investigation in a Nevada town with a population of more dead souls than alive. (Marine Protectors) *** In a quiet Virginia cemetery is a peculiar tomb that has mystified visitors for nearly two hundred years. Who is buried there? No one seems to know. (The Grave of the Female Stranger) *** Demons hitchhiking, reports of a mysterious entity, strange suicides… SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE… “Too Evil to Live” by Orin Grey: http://ow.ly/KxrA30mP1GM “Tesla’s Death Ray”: https://tinyurl.com/v7scbe7 “People From Other Worlds” by Troy Taylor: https://tinyurl.com/u6snqa3 “Astral Projection and Mom’s Message” by CuriousDee: https://tinyurl.com/rkwkbd3 “The Mountain Meadows Massacre”: https://tinyurl.com/sdgbvsv “Walking Sam” by Brent Swancer: https://tinyurl.com/rkbd29c “I Spent a Night In a Graveyard” by Michael McKean: https://tinyurl.com/up2vvgn “The Stubborn Piano” by J.
