    IN THIS EPISODE: David Bowie was no stranger to the occult – he even went so far as to have his swimming pool, which he believed to be possessed, exorcised not by a priest – but by a woman named Walli Elmlark who claimed to be a witch. (David Bowie’s White Witch) *** The gruesome true story of two people whose love caused their insanity to grow darker with each passing day, eventually sending them on a crusade to kill anything they deemed evil or immoral – but resulting in the murders of innocent people.

    WHAT IF IMAGINARY FRIENDS ARE REAL?: The Chilling Question – Can Children See What We Don’t?

    IN THIS EPISODE: Most people had imaginary friends when they were younger. These "friends" were usually nice, funny, and even comforting. They took the form of animals, other humans, and sometimes larger-than-life characters that defy classification. And sometimes they were extremely creepy and downright scary, especially when examined in hindsight.

    Apr 14 2025
    #WeirdDarknessRadio WEEK OF APRIL 13, 2025

    HOUR ONE: What caused complete darkness to engulf the New England town of Newburyport in 1871 – and what were the strange lights seen by dozens of students and their teacher? *** Engineers working to link Scotland and England with cables on the floor of the ocean have stumbled across an amazing find from Word War 1… a submarine that was sunk due to a sea monster! (The Submarine Sunk by a Sea Monster) *** “The Mira Theater Haunting” by Bili White
    ==========
    HOUR TWO: “MJ12: JFK and UFOs” *** No one likes uninvited guests – and it appears, neither do those in the afterlife. (Dead Village) *** Ask Pedro Rodrigues Filho and he’ll tell you he’s a nice guy. After all, he may be a serial killer – but he only kills bad guys. (The Real-Life Dexter) *** What caused the sky to go dark in the middle of the day back in 1780? (New England’s Dark Day)
