Weird Darkness: Paranormal & True Crime Stories

When Anna receives a heart transplant, she expects a second chance at life — not a front-row seat to someone else's. But the memories flooding in from her donor's past are growing darker by the day, and the line between whose life she's living is starting to disappear. | #RetroRadio EP0589

IN THIS EPISODE: Ever since President Zachary Taylor died suddenly in 1850 after just 16 months in office, many have suspected foul play on the part of his political enemies. Is it possible that, despite what the history books say, Zachary Taylor was the first U.S. President to be assassinated? (The Mysterious Death of Zachary Taylor) *** Walking into an invisible wall or force field is a science-fiction trope… but perhaps it’s not so fictional as you think, seeing as there are numerous cases of people encountering that very thing in real life. (Invisible Barriers and Time Portals) *** According to numerous legends and beliefs, the “White Gods“ once came to Earth and helped humanity develop and prosper by offering knowledge in many ways. Could those white gods have been extraterrestrials? (The White Alien God of the Meso-Americans) *** Over a hundred children were found stalking a graveyard, armed with knives and sharpened sticks in order to kill a vampire that had already killed and eaten two children in Glasgow… and this one event snowballed into a crackdown on comic books. (Comics and the Gorbals Vampire) *** A scientist dies at the South Pole with a lethal dose of methanol in his blood, a government cover-up blocks the investigation, and somewhere out on the ice, a man who disappeared decades ago may still be walking. (Death and Disappearance at the Bottom of the World)
