    Unknown Broadcast | Ghosts, Curses, and Deadly Secrets: Four Old-Time Radio Horror Stories
    2026/03/08
    Unknown Broadcast returns, creeping once more through the cracks in the Weekly Spooky feed with four old-time radio horror stories carried in on grief, blood, confession, and candlelight. Tonight’s transmission wanders through classic OTR horror, ghost stories, gothic suspense, and vintage radio nightmares — the sort of tales that do not merely entertain, but wait. Patiently. Like something at the foot of the bed pretending not to breathe.

    👻 The Ghost at the Gate
    Here, a widow keeps faith with the dead a little too faithfully. She sets a place for memory, pours tea for longing, and opens the door just wide enough for sorrow to step back inside. But the dead are poor houseguests, and poorer rivals. They do so hate being replaced.
    🩸 Blood of Cain
    Then to New Orleans, where old sins have old roots, and family history is written less in ink than in stain. Some inherit fortunes. Others inherit grudges, curses, and the steady tread of vengeance climbing the stairs. Blood remembers. Blood always remembers.
    📝 Statement of Employee Henry Wilson
    Next comes a statement, neat and proper on its face, which is often how guilt prefers to dress. A man explains what happened, and with each careful word the air grows colder, the walls draw nearer, and the truth begins to show its teeth. Confession can be such a generous thing… especially when it delivers a soul gift-wrapped to the gallows.
    🕯️ Jane Eyre
    And at last, a governess arrives at a great dark house full of locked doors, guarded glances, and secrets with the good manners not to introduce themselves right away. Romance flickers in one corridor, dread breathes in another, and the whole place seems to listen when no one is speaking. Which, I think, is terribly rude in a home.

    So settle in for a strange little procession of classic radio horror, supernatural suspense, gothic drama, and old-time ghosts who have not yet exhausted their interest in the living. Four tales. Four thresholds. Four chances to decide whether the voice calling from the dark means to warn you… or welcome you home.

  • Ides of March: Four Horror Stories of Revenge, Backwoods Violence, and Roadside Monsters

    Ides of March: Four Horror Stories of Revenge, Backwoods Violence, and Roadside Monsters
    2026/03/07
    Ides of March horror stories are all about the moment trust breaks—and someone decides to settle the score. In this March compilation from the Weekly Spooky horror podcast, four tales spiral from small-town cruelty to wilderness terror, from viral fame to blood-soaked karma, and from a lonely highway to something not quite human waiting in the dark.

    In this episode (in order):

    • Hell Hath No Fury — by Aaron Michael Cook
    A perfect evening curdles into humiliation and rage—until payback arrives with a smile and a blade hidden behind it.
    • Valley Rat — by Charles Campbell
    A simmering feud in a hard-scrabble town turns vicious, and the cost of cruelty comes due when the past won’t stay put.
    • Fortune Falls — by David O’Hanlon
    Two friends chase a wild view and a quick thrill—then realize the woods don’t forgive mistakes… and something out there is counting steps.
    • ROADKILL — by Travis VanHoose
    A late-night road, a predatory stranger, and a pickup that stops for the wrong reason—because the highway has teeth, and it remembers.

    If you love revenge horror, backwoods nightmare suspense, and roadside creature terror, this compilation is built for you. Keep your headlights bright… and don’t stop for anything you can’t explain.

  • Best of 2025: Ed and Lorraine Warren: The True Story Behind Annabelle, Amityville and The Conjuring

    Best of 2025: Ed and Lorraine Warren: The True Story Behind Annabelle, Amityville and The Conjuring
    2026/03/06
    This Friday on Weekly Spooky, we’re bringing back one of the biggest and most exhaustive episodes of Terrifying & True we’ve ever produced.

    In this special episode we take a long, hard look at the couple who became the most famous names in American paranormal investigation. From Amityville and Annabelle to the cases that helped inspire The Conjuring, this episode explores how the Warrens built their legend — and why that legend remains so controversial.

    We follow their rise from local investigators to national figures in the world of hauntings, possessions, and demonology, then dig into the doubts, criticism, and conflicting accounts that have followed them for decades. It’s a deep dive into belief, fear, fame, folklore, and the uneasy space where the paranormal collides with performance.

    Because this is a Best of 2025 re-air, it’s the perfect chance to catch an episode that listeners may have missed the first time around — especially if you’re fascinated by haunted history, real-life paranormal cases, or the truth behind some of horror’s most famous stories.

    Inside this episode
    :• The rise of Ed and Lorraine Warren
    • The real stories connected to Amityville, Annabelle, and The Conjuring
    • Their occult museum and public image
    • The skeptics, critics, and controversies surrounding their work
    • Why their legacy still shapes paranormal culture today

    Lady Frankenstein Returns: A Vampire Horror Chase (Scary Supernatural Thriller)
    2026/03/04
    Vampire horror story meets supernatural thriller in this scary story of a daylight predator and a mother-daughter escape that turns into a high-speed chase. When Madelyne “Maddy” Donnerly recognizes a towering vampire woman in a parking lot, panic hits fast—because the monster from last winter is back, and she’s moving like she already knows who she wants.

    What follows is mall horror, small-town dread, and a desperate run for safety as buried family secrets start clawing their way to the surface. Set in the Strickfield universe, Lady Frankenstein Returns is tense, fast, and relentlessly creepy—where survival isn’t just about getting away… it’s about what wakes up inside you when the nightmare returns.

  • Terrifying & True | Bonnie Hood Murder at Camp Nelson Lodge (1990): The California Double Jeopardy Case

    Terrifying & True | Bonnie Hood Murder at Camp Nelson Lodge (1990): The California Double Jeopardy Case
    2026/03/02
    A remote mountain lodge in the Sierra Nevada. A busy wedding weekend. And a violent break-in after midnight that leaves one woman dead and a key witness barely alive.

    On August 19, 1990, in Camp Nelson, California, Bonnie Hood (46) is shot and killed inside a cabin at Camp Nelson Lodge, a secluded retreat in Tulare County. Her handyman, Rudy Manuel, is shot in the head—but survives long enough to describe what he says happened. Investigators initially believe it’s a robbery… until the details don’t fit: nothing of value is taken, and the attack feels targeted.

    The evidence leads prosecutors to Bruce (Edward) Beauchamp, and the case barrels toward trial. But when the jury returns a stunning verdict on March 29, 1991—not guilty on all charges—the investigation hits a legal wall. Under double jeopardy, Beauchamp can never be tried again for Bonnie Hood’s murder, no matter what new suspicions emerge.
    And then the story turns again.

    About a year later, on March 22, 1992, Beauchamp confronts Jim Hood, Bonnie’s husband. The encounter ends in gunfire—and this time the courtroom battle focuses on Jim Hood, not the man once accused of the original cabin murder. The trials that follow spiral into a web of motive, credibility, and forensics, culminating in a final verdict on December 9, 1993 that seals Jim Hood’s fate.

    Inside this episode
    • The Night of the Cabin Shooting: what happened at Camp Nelson Lodge and why it didn’t look like a typical robbery
    • The Surviving Witness: Rudy Manuel’s account—and why it becomes so contested
    • The Suspect & The Trial: how the case centers on Bruce Beauchamp… and what the jury ultimately decides
    • Double Jeopardy: how one verdict can permanently lock a murder case
    • The Second Shooting: the confrontation between Beauchamp and Jim Hood that ends with another homicide
    • What’s Proven vs. What’s Alleged: separating courtroom facts from lingering theories

    If you’re drawn to California true crime, unsolved murders, and cases where the justice system itself becomes part of the mystery, this one is a chilling ride through a crime that never truly got its ending. We’re telling that story tonight.

  • Unknown Broadcast | The Coin That Won’t Spend: Four OTR Tales of Theft, Dread, and Deep Water

    Unknown Broadcast | The Coin That Won’t Spend: Four OTR Tales of Theft, Dread, and Deep Water
    2026/03/01
    Unknown Broadcast is your strange little frequency of old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, and vintage radio mystery—the kind of signal that crackles with laughter one second and turns cold the next. Tune the dial just a hair too far…and you’ll catch the stories that weren’t meant to survive the night.

    Tonight’s broadcast drifts from absurd crime to buried dread, from cursed good fortune to open-water peril—four classic radio tales where greed, fear, and bad timing all make the same sound: footsteps behind you.

    Inside this episode:
    • 🐘 “The Stolen White Elephant” — A ridiculous, escalating caper that turns into a full-blown hunt: detectives, headlines, and the impossible task of recovering a stolen white elephant before the whole city becomes the punchline.
    • ⛏️ “The Digger” — Down in the dark where secrets go to rot, someone keeps digging… and the past starts pushing back. A tight, grim suspense tale where the ground feels alive.
    • 🪙 “The Golden Penny” (The Whistler) — A shiny little promise of luck—until it starts behaving like a lure. A fortune that buys trouble, and a trap that snaps with a smile.
    • ⚓ “Clear for Action” (Escape) — A maritime nightmare at full speed: danger on the water, enemy pressure closing in, and a desperate push to survive the next command… and the next blast.
    Some nights the dial lands on comedy, some nights on terror—but the signal is always the same: something is missing, something is digging, something is buying time… and something is closing in.
