• The Man Whose Face Matched a 1,000-Year-Old Stone God

  “Jobo” — a big-boned, simple-minded man from Texas – bears a striking resemblance to the mysterious stone figures of Easter Island. When an archaeologist (and later his daughter) catch wind of this uncanny likeness, each sets off on their own journey to uncover what it might mean. Along the way they encounter strange and compelling clues — including shiny silver medallions — that hint at an astonishing connection between Jobo and the ancient gods of that remote Pacific island. | #RetroRadio EP0569CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:30.028 = CBS Radio Mystery Theater, “Jobo” (March 17, 1977) ***WD00:45:35.995 = The Whistler, “Death Sees Double” (November 20, 1944)01:15:02.317 = Witch’s Tale, “The Spirits of the Lake” (January 07, 1936) ***WD01:43:53.184 = X Minus 1, “Student Body” (July 31, 1956)02:11:46.867 = ABC Mystery Time, “Death By Proxy” (June 07, 1956) ***WD02:35:47.833 = Strange Adventure, “The Man From Montmerte” (1945) ***WD02:39:01.667 = Appointment With Fear, “Pit And The Pendulum” (September 18, 1943) ***WD03:06:09.100 = BBC Radio 7 Ghost Stories, “Crewe” (December 2010)03:34:42.568 = Beyond The Green Door, “Matador’s Brother Killed” (1966)03:38:21.334 = The Black Book, “On Schedule” (February 17, 1952) ***WD03:52:50.502 = Let George Do It, “Graystone Ghost” (March 24, 1952) ***WD04:22:51.987 = Box 13, “Extra Extra” (September 19, 1948)04:49:27.311 = Show Close(ADU) = Air Date Unknown(LQ) = Low Quality***WD = Remastered, edited, or cleaned up by Weird Darkness to make the episode more listenable.

• ADVENT OF EVIL: Wednesday, December 10 – Throughline

  The advent calendar arrived nine days ago. No sender. No explanation. Just twenty-four numbered doors and a carved face with empty eyes that seemed to know exactly who Matthew Klein used to be.Since then, Marshport has become a graveyard.Three people are dead. A teenage boy has been twisted into a puppet for murder. A phantom child wrapped in ash and embers stalks the shadows, demanding obedience. And Matthew Klein — the man who ran while his family burned thirty years ago — has been branded with a wound that will not let him forget.He tried to destroy the calendar. The ocean spat it back. He refused to open a door. His youngest son woke screaming, wrapped in the coils of a python that should not exist.Now a mysterious hooded figure haunts the edges of Matthew's world. A bearded man who appears at funerals and vanishes into crowds. Someone who knows the rules of this game — perhaps even someone who wrote them.Pastor Russell Hart has offered to help – but has made a caveat… don’t open the next door until he’s in the room with the calendar to see it for himself. Get the print version of the novel: https://weirddarkness.com/AdventOfEvil#WeirdDarkness #ChristmasHorror #HolidayHorror #SupernaturalThriller #HauntedCalendar #DarkChristmas #HorrorStory #DemonicEvil #CreepyTales #YuletideTerror

• Hundreds of People Have Reported Seeing Santa — Here's What They Might Actually Be Encountering

  #HolidayHorrors | Hundreds of people have reported encounters with what looks exactly like Santa Claus — and they weren't children dreaming on Christmas Eve. If the real Santa doesn't exist, what are these witnesses actually seeing... and why does it want to be seen?IN THIS EPISODE: Many of us are familiar with the flip side of Father Christmas – the darker entity who visits and kidnaps bad children, Krampus. But when it comes to true fear, even Krampus would run in terror at the sight of Iceland’s Gryla, the Christmas Witch! With roots dating back to the 13th century, Gryla is not to be messed with! (Iceland’s Christmas Witch) *** It was Christmastime, 1938, and 19-year-old Margaret Martin had just graduated from Wilkes-Barre Business College with honors and was eager to secure a secretarial job. Her eagerness would lead to her disappearance. (The Murder of Margaret Martin) *** Ask anyone over the age of twelve what they think about the existence of Santa Claus and you’ll most assuredly get the same answer. But that has not stopped people of all ages reporting sightings of the jolly old elf, and some of the stories are downright creepy. (People Who Swear They've Seen the Real Santa Claus) *** Two murders committed in the same house during the holidays of 1928 appear to have resulted in the spirits of Christmas past haunting the place today.
