    INTERViEW WITH THE WANNABEE VAMPIRE! #WeirdDarknessRadio WEEK OF MARCH 03, 2024
    Mar 4 2025
    HOUR ONE: Ever heard of Shadrack Ireland? No, it’s not a place – it’s a person, actually. A preacher – and one of the most bizarre religious leaders ever to walk the soil of New England. And as strange as his religious practices and teachings were – his death was just as crazy. (The Perfect Man) *** Lisa woke up to find her boyfriend staring at her. When she asked him what was wrong, he replied, “I’m going to kill you and drink your blood.” Is it possible that the film, “Interview With The Vampire” made Daniel Sterlin turn into a real-life bloodthirsty monster? (Interview With The Wannabee Vampire) *** Gerald Foos built a secret passageway in his motel – not to smuggle drugs or store weapons, but so he could spy on his motel guests having sex. And it gets even creepier than that. (Peeping Tom Motel) *** A family loses two children by apparent poisoning… and then the mother’s death two months later under the same mysterious circumstances. Obviously there was a murderer living amongst the family, or somewhere in the town. Wasn’t there? (The Mystery of the Garrett Family’s Tragic Deaths)==========HOUR TWO: Is it possible that in 1927 we picked up signals from an artificial satellite sent to our planet by an extraterrestrial intelligence? Some believe the evidence is overwhelming. (Mystery of the Alien Satellite) *** When a great famine struck Europe in 1314, mothers abandoned their children and in some cases, even ate them. Could this be the gruesome beginnings of the story we know as Hansel and Gretel? (The Grimm Reality Behind Hansel and Gretel) *** But first… I doubt there’s a single person over the age of twelve living in the modernized world that hasn’t at least heard of Bigfoot. A large portion of them have probably heard it’s other name – Sasquatch – as well. But far fewer are familiar with his even more reclusive Siberian cousin: the Russian Bigfoot that’s we’ve come to know as the Yeti, or more fondly… the Abominable Snowman. We’ll begin with that story! (Why They Call This Snowman Abominable)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: In 1938, stories of a "killer ghost" began to be told in eastern Kentucky. Even though no one ever saw this malevolent apparition, it was said to have caused five very similar and unexplained deaths. (The Ghost That Killed With Chains)==========SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT’S SHOW:PHOTO: Dyatlov Pass Frame 17 Photo: https://tinyurl.com/ycvcts35BOOK: “Yeti, Sasquatch and Hairy Giants” by David Hatcher Childress: https://amzn.to/3rA4mQuBOOK: “Bigfoot and Other Mysterious Creatures” by Rupert Matthews: https://amzn.to/38O4RhoBOOK: “Yeti: The Abominable History” by Graham Hoyland: https://amzn.to/2WRFqFVBOOK: “The Third Horseman – A Story of Weather, War, and the Famine History Forgot” by William Rosen: https://amzn.to/3rAEofHBOOK: “Beyond the Grave, A History of America’s Most Haunted Graveyards” by Troy Taylor:https://amzn.to/34PEpTf“The Mystery of the Garrett Family’s Tragic Deaths” from Pennsylvania Oddities: https://tinyurl.com/yxagv9uo“The Perfect Man” by Dr. Romeo Vitelli for Providentia: https://tinyurl.com/y5c7j66y“Peeping Tom Motel” by Rachel Souerbry for Ranker’s Graveyard Shift: https://tinyurl.com/y6hbepuh“Interview With The Wannabe Vampire” from The Scare Chamber: https://tinyurl.com/y5evjtca“The Grimm Reality Behind Hansel and Gretel” by Joseph Williams for All That’s Interesting: https://tinyurl.com/qkemcwg“The Ghost That Killed With Chains (Carl Pruitt: The Killer Ghost)” by Troy Taylor from the book, “Beyond the Grave, A History of America’s Most Haunted Graveyards”: https://amzn.to/34PEpTf“Mystery of the Alien Satellite” by Ellen Lloyd for the now defunct UFOarea.com“Why They Call This Snowman Abominable” by Marcus Lowth for UFO Insight: https://tinyurl.com/y86xfgbw

  • “The TRUE Origins of VALAK, The Horrifying REAL DEMON Behind The NUN”: More Terrors! #WeirdDarkness

    “The TRUE Origins of VALAK, The Horrifying REAL DEMON Behind The NUN”: More Terrors! #WeirdDarkness
    Mar 4 2025
    Long before ‘The Conjuring’ franchise twisted Valak into a terrifying nun, this ancient demon haunted medieval grimoires as a sinister child atop a two-headed dragon—commanding serpents and leading an army of demons.IN THIS EPISODE: Although Valak is depicted in the films "The Nun" and in “The Conjuring 2” as a habit-wearing spirit, the real demon appears as a child riding a two-headed dragon — at least according to a 17th-century demon-hunting manual. (The Reality Behind The Demon, Valak) *** The Vatican is one of the most well-guarded areas in the world. But if rumors are to be believed, all that security isn’t only to protect the pontiff… but some dark, disturbing secrets… and a machine that could change everything we know to be true. (The Vatican’s Secret Machine) *** We’ll look at that time a force field was accidentally created at a 3M plant. (3M’s Accidental Force Field) *** In 1872 George Wheeler met and married May Tillson in Boston. He made a home for May and her younger sister Della, first in New York, then in California. Along the way, George fell in love with young Della and when she planned to marry someone else he was faced with a dilemma: he could not marry her himself and he could not bear to see her wed to another. The solution he chose pleased no one. (Thus She Passed Away) *** In the 1800s scientists and doctors needed cadavers to study human anatomy and practice their skills. To help accommodate the need, it was made legal to sell dead bodies. What could possibly go wrong?
