Weird Darkness: Paranormal & True Crime Stories

Mom and Dad are downstairs watching a movie, so the figure standing at the edge of the woods outside the bedroom window can't be either of them. It's shaped like a man, but it's far too tall, and when Dad finally looks out the window himself, he grabs his baseball bat and a flashlight and goes out into the dark.

Twins Timmy and Cici fly in from Los Angeles to spend Halloween with their grandparents in Chicago, and a boy named Joey they meet at the library offers to take them to three haunted places around the city: Death Alley at the Nederlander Theatre, the ballroom of the Drake Hotel, and Graceland Cemetery on a full-moon night. Every time Cici calls for a ride, the same Uber driver pulls up, hardly saying a word and smiling at her in the rearview mirror the whole way.

A hail of gunfire ended the life of Depression-era outlaw Frank “Jelly” Nash in 1933—but nearly a century later, it seems his ghost still refuses to leave Union Station.

FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Weirdo family member Kara Moore tells us about the town she grew up in – with too many ghosts and specters to count. (“The Ghost of St. Clair’s Defeat”) *** Gangsters, guns and ghosts… they’ve all resided at Kansas City’s Union Station. (“The Kansas City Massacre”) *** If you live in a house that seven generations of your family have lived and died in, you have to expect there might be a little bit of paranormal activity. (“The Spirit Of Our Grandfather Won’t Leave Us Alone”) *** Dorothy Dingley haunted a young farm boy back in the 1600’s. But now it appears she has come back… or she has never left. (“The Cornish Ghost of Dorothy Dingley”) *** Ghosts have been seen in bathroom… but do ghosts ever need to use the bathroom? It appears one did. (“The Ghost Who Used Our Bathroom”) *** AND MORE!
