(Bizarre Sounds in the Poconos) *** In the deep dark holes in the waters of the Bahamas, locals speak of a mysterious and terrifying marine creature shaped like a gaping, tooth-filled mouth of a shark, with an array of tentacles like an octopus, and massive in size – up to 200 feet in length. What is this leviathan that people are seeing? (Bahamas Monster of the Deep) *** A man is out driving and finds himself in a predicament; the truck that was following him has disappeared. (The Vanishing Truck) *** They say “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” That was never more true when it came to the murder of Annie Wheeler. (Insane Jealousy) *** People often speak of feeling a sudden cold or chill when experiencing the paranormal. But what if the chill lasts, unstopping, for years on end? (Ice Box Mystery) *** A noisy spirit invades a home in Tennessee. (You Don’t Have To Be Seen To Be Heard) *** Many people kill for love, profit, or revenge, but Michael and Suzan Carson shocked California in the early 1980s when they admitted they killed because they were on a “holy war against witches.” (The New Age Murderers Who Went On a Witch-Killing Spree) *** Tales of Bigfoot, the dogman, and other hairy bi-pedal cryptids usually come from normal people like you and me out minding their own business. Occasionally an unexplained creature will be sighted by someone of a bit more notoriety or position, such as someone in the military – or even a celebrity. Usually these creatures are docile or even frightened of humans – but other times they are bloodthirsty savages. But the story of the most violent, dangerous, man-killing unknown mystery creature of all might possibly have been told directly to a former U.S. President… Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt. (The Most Violent Mystery Animal of All) *** The ghost of a caring teacher and widow appears to supernaturally give her own life to save the life of a dying child. *** Even the dwelling of fundamental Christians isn’t immune to having an evil entity as a resident. *** In 1969, did a man named Sid Hurwich build a working time-machine? Many believe so – but if it’s true, what happened to it? And what happened to him? *** A young boy’s music box turns out to be something more than just a trinket. *** It is reportedly the most haunted castle in Britain, but how did Pengersick Castle get that reputation?SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Bizarre Sounds in the Poconos” submitted by SH: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/munh9vpn“Bahamas Monster of the Deep” by Brent Swancer: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8fed5p“You Don’t Have To Be Seen To Be Heard” submitted by Robert Keys: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p9ba3t7“The New Age Murderers Who Went On a Witch-Killing Spree” by Matt Gilligan: (Link no longer available)“Ice Box Mystery” submitted by Steve Heisenburg to WeirdDarkness.com“The Vanishing Truck” submitted by Bruce Harrison: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4dr46wvh“The Most Violent Mystery Animal of All” by Nick Redfern: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2t3tmba6“Insane Jealousy” by Robert Wilhelm: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/u3a98cpe“The Apartment” by Cindy Parmiter, from her book “True Stories of the Paranormal, Volume 1”: http://a.co/hzE9mDT“Mystery Of Sid Hurwich And His Time-Altering Machine That Could ‘Freeze Time’”from Message to Eagle: http://ow.ly/Xx1U30a1zuG“A Music Box” (Fiction) by Ken DaSilva-Hill, Kent Mysteries for WeirdDarkness.com“Pengersick Castle” by Alan Toner, from his book “100 True Ghost Stories”: http://a.co/6Brgcu7“The Ghost of Annie Whipple” by David Dominé from his book “True Ghost Stories and Eerie Legends From America’s Most Haunted Neighborhood”: http://a.co/3wF7KtjWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
