  • THE MAN WHO WAS NOT MURDERED: A Confessed Killer, An Arrested Accomplice, A Victim Still Alive
    Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEWhen Florida businessman James Harrison disappeared in 1958 and his blood-soaked car was found abandoned, serial killer Roy Olson confessed to murdering him and police arrested accomplice James Leach—until three months later when Harrison walked into an Arizona police station alive, with no memory of where he'd been, leaving authorities with an unsolvable puzzle of whose blood was in the car and where Harrison spent those missing months.IN THIS EPISODE: What do you get when you mix auto theft, disappearances, amnesia, murder, and far too many tattoos? You get one of the craziest true crime cases you’ll ever hear. It’s the disappearance and apparent murder of James Eugene Harrison, but just wait for the twist. (The Man Who Wasn’t Murdered) *** The first witch trial in the Americas took place in 1626 – and I’ll tell you the story of how poor Joane Wright came to be accused, and what the verdict came down as. (America’s First Witch) *** In 1938, 34-year-old Alma Fielding reported objects mysteriously flying around her home. In 2017, Kate Summerscale, author of the true crime classic “The Suspicions of Mr Whicher”, set out to investigate the unexplained case of the Croydon poltergeist. (The Housewife, The Ghost Hunter, And The Croydon Poltergeist) *** When you hear a knocking in the closet, or footsteps in the attic. When you hear a door to the basement creak open, or a plate crash to the floor in the middle of the night… is it a ghost? An intruder? Or could you be dealing with a darkling?

Starbright becomes alarmed when, during a stroll in a cemetery, he is shown a tombstone bearing his name and a date of death one year in the future. His wife and his physician (who is later revealed to be her lover) dismiss his concerns.

  • DISNEY INVENTED A QUEEN MARY GHOST STORY: They Didn’t Know 40+ REAL Ghosts Were Already Aboard
    Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEWhen Disney bought the Queen Mary in 1988 and tried to manufacture a ghost story for room B-340 to enhance their haunted tour, they didn't realize the luxury liner-turned-troopship already harbored decades of documented paranormal encounters—from the spirit of 18-year-old John Pedder crushed in Door 13 to the giggling ghost of little Jackie in the abandoned swimming pool.IN THIS EPISODE: Although the Queen Mary's rich history may have garnered the vessel some impressive titles, she has recently earned a more notorious designation. Ghost stories from the Queen Mary suggest that it may be one of the most haunted ships in the world. (Haunted History of the Queen Mary) *** One of the last mezzo-sopranos of the 19th Century, Elena Theodorini was also one of the most beloved. Except for that time when… well… when she was accused of being a spy. (The Spy Who Came In From The Sea) *** Joseph was walking down the street, minding his own business, when he was jumped by a group of men armed with scissors and razors… they were after his long, luxurious beard. And that’s just the beginning of the insanity that Joseph Palmer had to go through simply because he refused to shave. (Joseph Palmer and the Beard of Justice) *** Weirdo family member and paranormal researcher John Parrish shares a true story with a simple lesson – don’t ever use a Ouija board.

    Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEWhat started as a night when Celts genuinely believed the dead could drag the living into the spirit world, has transformed into children dressed as superheroes demanding fun-size Snickers. What happened?IN THIS EPISODE: The night is coming. Porch lights and decorations won't change what moves through the darkness on October 31st. Every plastic skeleton dangling from a suburban tree, every polyester witch costume hanging in a store window, every carved pumpkin glowing on a doorstep - they're echoes of something that began long before any of us were born, something older and more terrifying than most people realize.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Lead-In00:02:44.639 = Show Open00:04:00.391 = Part One: The Night Between Worlds00:19:16.974 = ***Part Two: The Great Candy Panic00:45:54.099 = ***Part Three: Hollywood’s Dark Magic01:06:40.243 = ***Part Four: Digital Ghosts01:27:35.158 = Part Five: American Monsters01:33:53.550 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakPRINT VERSION to READ or SHARE (Includes Resources):https://weirddarkness.com/HalloweensHeinousHistory=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
