    1963: The Year DARK FORCES Invaded England And America - UFOS, HAUNTINGS, and More! #WeirdDarkness
    Mar 8 2025
    Strange lights in the sky, eerie creatures lurking in the shadows, and dark rituals unfolding in the dead of night—1963 was a year drenched in mystery, terror, and the unexplained.

    IN THIS EPISODE: A “gigantic cigar-shaped UFO” is spotted over the Atlantic in 1963, but the witness is so terrified by her experiences that it takes her twenty years to come forward to tell her story. And in that same year, elsewhere in the United Kingdom, people were dealing with dark, paranormal, even satanic forces - with numerous events that still remain unexplained.

    “WHITEWATER’S HAUNTED HISTORY: Supernatural to Second Salem”: And More True Tales! #WeirdDarkness
    Mar 8 2025
    The Morris Pratt Institute was built to study the spirit world—but in Whitewater, some believe it opened doors that were never meant to be unlocked.

    IN THIS EPISODE: Whitewater legend says that the bizarre experiments conducted at the Morris Pratt Institute of Spiritualism in Wisconsin, to communicate with the dead, have left the town cursed by witches and haunted by restless spirits. It’s no wonder it has garnered the nickname of “Second Salem.” (Whitewater: The Second Salem) *** The Wild West had many drifters with troubled pasts. One found himself at the heart of one of the most infamous crimes in American history. Ben Kuhl went from horse theft, to stagecoach robbery, to murder – from notoriety to infamy – all in pursuit of elusive riches. Finally arrested and convicted due to a bloody handprint (The Last Stagecoach Robbery) *** Fred West was just a regular boy, or so it seemed. But behind closed doors, in reality, he was becoming evil incarnate. And upon meeting his future wife Rose, it only expanded his predatory predilections. Fred and Rose descended from petty crimes to unspeakable horrors of rape and murder – even of the most young and innocent. From their "House of Horrors" the depths of their depravity was acted out — hidden from site. But as the walls closed in and the truth emerged, the true horror of their crimes was laid bare. (The Evils of Fred And Rose West) *** AND MORE!

    “WHEN THE CIRCUS CAME TO TOWN” and “THE ALONE SHOW COVERUP” #WeirdDarkness #ThrillerThursday
    Mar 7 2025
    The circus came overnight, but when it left, three boys were dead—and I was no longer human. *** There are contestants from TV’s reality show “Alone” whom you’ve never seen—because they never made it back.

    IN THIS EPISODE: In this Thriller Thursday episode, Stephanie Scissom writes of when a circus unexpectedly arrived in a small city, and along with the fun, merriment and laughter, there was a dark, dreary, and dangerous element. It’s “When The Circus Came to Town.” And, an author who goes by the alias 5yn brings a story of what happened on the set of History’s show, “Alone” - something that they covered up. It’s no wonder he’s writing under an assumed name. The story is simply called, “Alone.”
