It’s the creepy case of Theo Durrant – better known in San Francisco as the Demon of the Belfry. (Demon of the Belfry) *** In 1989 a man anonymously claimed he had worked at Area 51 where alien technology was being reverse-engineered for the Pentagon. It sounded like the crazed thoughts of a madman at the time. But now, thirty years later, it does not seem so absurd.(Bob Lazar, The Pentagon, And UFOs) *** One of our Weirdo family members tells the true story of a young child told not to be sad when her grandfather passes away… before anyone knew he had died. (The Old Woman In The Basement) *** Some very strange things have been taking place in Sedona Arizona – including ghosts, UFOs, and even people supposedly seeing living dinosaurs. (Strangeness at the Bradshaw Ranch) *** Is it possible that the reason Jack The Ripper was never caught, is because he was only visiting London at the time and then returned to his home in Missouri, USA?

IN THIS EPISODE: Weird stories about Area 51 almost all stem from the belief that the government is most likely hiding UFO technology or aliens there. You probably know most of your Area 51 knowledge from movies like “Independence Day” or television programs such as “The X-Files”. But what about the real world? Are any of these stories based on truth? (Tales and Legends of Area 51) *** Weirdo family member Alex shares how fleeing an abusive father brought some comfort from an unexpected source. (Guardian Angel) *** Soon after her disappearance, Dorothy Jane Scott's family began receiving chilling calls from an unidentified caller. (A Killer Calls) *** Classes are now back in full-swing for college students, and many high school juniors and seniors are already in the process of choosing a college to attend in the future. But after hearing about some haunted college campuses, you might choose to change your mind about your chosen universities… or change your major to parapsychology.

IN THIS EPISODE: Was Zigmund Adamski really the victim of murderous extraterrestrial visitors? If so, why would they choose to kill a human and leave his body for all the world to see? (The Zigmund Adamski Extraterrestrial Incident) *** A Weirdo family member shares her hair-raising incident with an invisible phantom’s hand. (Hair Raising Experience) *** “I just wanted to see what it felt like to kill Grandma.” “When I see a pretty girl walking down the street, I think two things. One part wants to be real nice and sweet, and the other part wonders what her head would look like on a stick.” “If I killed them, you know, they couldn’t reject me as a man. It was more or less making a doll out of a human being… and carrying out my fantasies with a doll, a living human doll.” “With a girl, there’s a lot left in the girls body without a head. Of course, the personality is gone.” These are just some of the actual phrases serial killer Edmund Kemper III used to describe his joy in mutilating women.

However, some experiences stick with people long after they occur because of the degree of creepiness. On Reddit, plenty of people who live in rural areas or make their livelihood there, share their scary stories for the rest of us to freak out over. We know that often strange people linger around woods, parks, and other desolate areas. And we have all heard plenty of the kind of creepy stories that backpackers experience. However, in this episode, the stories are more than a little unpleasant, because the people who suffered them weren't just out and about anywhere; they wereat their homes, or doing their jobs. Imagine living in the woods, and looking up from your bathtub to see a face looking back at you. Or imagine you are working as a forest ranger and come across a thumb nailed to a tree. Tonight I will share some of the terrifying real-life stories, stories that are the stuff ofnightmares.

In this Weekend Archive Episode I’m reaching back to a #CreepypastaThursday from last year when I shared three stories. First, I’ll share the traditional creepypasta “I Wish I Wasn’t a Member” by Boothworld. Then it’s an original creepypasta story from Weirdo family member Randy Hogan called “The Dinner Party From Hell”. And finally, we’ll wrap up the episode with a classic bit of horror from M.R. James called “Lost Hearts”. WANT TO ADVERTISE ON WEIRD DARKNESS OR BE A SPONSOR? Weird Darkness has partnered with AdvertiseCast to handle our advertising/sponsorship requests.

IN THIS WEEKEND ARCHIVE EPISODE ORIGINALLY AIRED JANUARY 09, 2020: I’m reaching back to a Creepypasta Thursday episode. In January of last year, Weirdo family member Brianna Allegra sent me an email saying, “I wanted to recommend a really good creepypasta/no sleep story that still actually somewhat haunts me (because it never clearly stated what the truth actually IS and it’s so frustrating!) It’s called The Showers, and it’s written by clover10176. It’s kinda long, but definitely worth it!” So… that’s the story I’m sharing with you tonight!
