Creepy Door Room

Wear garlic around your neck. Carry a wooden stake. Hang a crucifix on the wall, and never, ever, open the door for Dracula. The superstitions that were meant to protect our ancestors from vampires taught them the most important lesson of all: never invite a monster inside. Yet with the birth of Spiritualism in the 19th century came a rise in the belief that the dead harbor secret knowledge from the living, and inviting a monstrous spirit into your home became easier than ever.    The Ouija board, printed with letters and numbers, has entranced generations as a gateway between this world and the next. Groups gather around the board, hands touching the planchette, and hope to make contact with lost loved ones or benevolent guides with insight that only comes from beyond the grave. But when you open the door into the darkness, you can’t control what may come slinking through. Murder, madness, and possession have haunted Ouija board users since its inception, but where does this evil really come from?    The spirit world? Or our own minds?  Episode Highlights:   Vampire lore and superstition  Usage and origins of the ouija board: Spiritualists &amp; talking boards  Pearl Curran and Emily Grant Hutchings: Spiritualist secretaries  1920s California madness  Manipulated into murder by spirits  Modern Ouija board possessions  The ZoZo demon  The Exorcist  The ideomotor effect   Resources:   The Exorcist  by William Peter Blatty  The Exorcist (1973 film)  Enjoyed this episode?

003: The Invitation

A haunted house should loom out of the darkness, its windows boarded up, ghosts and dust as the only occupants. But horror dwells inside two beautifully decorated homes in the Benedict Canyon of Beverly Hills. While its name means “heaven” in Spanish, 10050 Cielo Drive was nothing but Hell for the five victims brutally murdered by Charles Manson’s “Family” within its walls. Some say their spirits still haunt the area, having taken up residence in the nearby Oman House.   Two men, film director David Oman and Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor, have turned the blood-soaked history of Cielo Drive into a booming source of revenue. Both men show signs of struggling with their own inner demons – are the spirits still trapped within their homes disturbed and vengeful at the business created around their murders, or is it the morality of the situation haunting the living?   Episode Highlights:  History of the Oman House David Oman: homeowner, movie director, and tour guide Dr. Barry Taff investigates Trapped spirits in the Oman House Charles Manson &amp; The Family The Tate Murders on Cielo Drive Trent Reznor on 10050 Cielo Drive    Resources:   David Oman’s interview with Dread Central     The House at the End of the Drive (2014 Film)     The Oman House website for tour tickets, seances, and merchandise Listen to Dr. Taff’s radio interview with Dark Matter: “The Entity Hauntings, Poltergeists, &amp; the Manson Murders” “Gave Up” Nine Inch Nails music video  The Long Hard Road Out of Hell by Marilyn Manson    Enjoyed this episode?

023: Sins of the Father

The history of the Navajo goes back in time to the Four Corners region in Arizona. Where the spider grandmother spun a giant web and threw it into the night sky to create the stars. This area known as Canyon de Chelly is also known as the Canyon of the Dead after a misguided weaver’s warning resulted in a cruel cave massacre. Like the art and designs of the Navajo weaver’s blanket, the Navajo legends are intertwined with a ranch purchased by a Utah couple. The Sherman ranch seemed like an idyllic place to raise premium cattle, but strange things started happening almost immediately upon the family's arrival. This ranch is now known as the Skinwalker Ranch and the legends continue. Episode Highlights:  Spider rock and the legend of the weaver and Navajo blankets. Terry and Gwen Sherman purchase a Utah ranch in 1994. The Sherman’s experienced strange phenomena and decided to sell. Robert T. Bigelow purchases the ranch and dispatches the National Institute for Discovery Science to investigate. A terrifying dark force grabs one of the observers before fading away. Night vision goggles expose a tunnel through the light used by the black creature. The Ute Tribe and the legend of the Navajo Tribe in New Mexico. New Mexico, 1863 Kit Carson and his troops round up the Navajo for transport. Canyon de Chelly and “The Long Walk” of the Navajo. The legend of the skinwalker.

027: The Dark Path

The Salisbury Plain is the name for the 300 miles of grasslands located in Wiltshire, England. Home to Stonehenge, a rich history, and a wide variety of plants and animals, the Salisbury Plain is one of the most famous locations in England. For the residents of Wiltshire, however, the area is notorious for more than its archaeological features and mystical energy. The great grassy plains of Salisbury border the mansions of Wiltshire, whose walls are painted in blood and sorrow.  In these great houses, the dead refuse to rest.

020: True Horror

Mysteries are a rarity in our world. What used to be unexplainable is now quickly answered by the modern marvels of technology and science. So when a new mystery appears, we drive ourselves crazy searching for an explanation, haunted by what we can’t explain. One modern mystery is reasoning behind the strange events that took place on a Siberian mountain in 1959, in which a group of experienced hikers were found dead in bizarre circumstances. Since the day of the discovery, many have been tormented by one simple question: What happened on Dyatlov Pass? Was it a Yeti, an avalanche, a top secret military test gone horribly wrong that killed the group? Or was it something simply incomprehensible to modern listeners– an ill-fated encounter with goddesses and myths of old? Episode Highlights:  Dyatlov Pass Incident: Ski Tourists in Siberia The search begins First disturbing discoveries Nine sets of footprints in the snow Charred and frozen bodies Conflicting and confusing evidence Timeline of events: What went wrong? Theories and speculations Spheres of light in ancient lands  Resources:     Mountain of the Dead by Keith McCloskey      Dead Mountain by Donnie Eichar  Enjoyed this episode?

In the Shadow of Oz

The stories of Charleston, South Carolina are composed of a tangled web of dreams and memories. They’ve been passed through historians, artists, writers, and tour guides, twisting into a new shape with each retelling. Deep within the historic city lies a graveyard. Cloaked in ivy and wildflowers, the cemetery is a tranquil spot for a walk and a popular sightseeing destination… as long as the sun is shining. In the dark of night, the graveyard belonging to the Unitarian Church of Charleston transforms from peaceful to terrifying, leaving late-night tour participants shrieking in fear at the ghostly woman lurking behind tombstones. Are the stories surrounding the graveyard’s mistress a true account of a pair of star-crossed lovers still searching for each other beyond the grave, or are they nothing but a spooky story to tell in the dark? Where does fact begin and fiction end? Episode Highlights:  Mike Brown’s graveyard The history of Charleston, South Carolina Ghostly residents of King and Queens Street The curse of King’s Street Gate at the Unitarian Church of South Carolina A scream in the graveyard What is folklore? Life and times of Edgar Perry Star-crossed lovers Annabel Lee Folklore, facts, and fiction  Resources:     Doctor to the Dead: Grotesque Legends and Folk Tales of Old Charleston by John Bennett  The Gold Bug by Edgar Allan Poe  Kingdom By the Sea, Mark Robert.

Cloaked in ivy and wildflowers, the cemetery is a tranquil spot for a walk and a popular sightseeing destination… as long as the sun is shining. In the dark of night, the graveyard belonging to the Unitarian Church of Charleston transforms from peaceful to terrifying, leaving late-night tour participants shrieking in fear at the ghostly woman lurking behind tombstones. Are the stories surrounding the graveyard’s mistress a true account of a pair of star-crossed lovers still searching for each other beyond the grave, or are they nothing but a spooky story to tell in the dark? Where does fact begin and fiction end?

009: The Mourner's Curse

Alyson Horrocks from the Strange and Unusual Podcast took me on a tour of a historical site with a dark past. The site sits in a town called Danvers, but it was once Salem Village. This site was the culmination of a strange mix of religion, superstition, folklore, slavery, patriarchy, truth, and lies. A place where people’s imagination or secret motives ran wild and story or lie or desperate attempt at redemption led to the basis for one of the darkest times in colonial American History. What started as a search for freedom to pursue religion and all things good, and ended in a nondescript historical site and archaeological dig, has a sinister history with a story that is hard to tell and even harder to understand.  Salem Village was settled in the late 1600s In 1970, Richard B. Trask started excavating the “Danvers Dig” 1688 Samuel Parris moved into the house that once stood at the dig. Parris brought an enslaved South American couple named John and Tituba. In 1692, the invisible world began to close around the Parris family. Using Venus Glass and taking a peek into the invisible world. How it’s human nature to be drawn to what is forbidden In January of 1693, Betty Parris daughter of Samuel, and cousin Abigail were stricken with mysterious illnesses. Sarah Good and her daughter visit the Parris home. Dr. Griggs determines the affliction of Betty and Abigail is supernatural in nature. Thomas Putnam goes to the Salem Town magistrates to file claims of witchcraft. A woman's final plea for freedom opens the floodgates of imagination and evil to begin a dark era of lies and persecution.

028: Strange Terrors

Werewolves have been portrayed in folklore, books, movies and television for centuries. Rageful howls under the full moon. Fangs, claws, fur, muscle and legend. Is it a monster? A ghost or a demon? Is it real? Historic folk tales about werewolves often evoke images of crisp nights in dark ages of Europe. Yet in the United States, the state of Georgia has one of the longest histories of werewolf encounters in the country. This is the story of the Georgia Werewolf. Personal accounts and anecdotes in modern times give us a glimpse of this creature, not yet verified by science. Small-town legends passed down since the 1800s led ghost-hunters to the local cemetery. Rumors swirled around a well-known farm and the unusual behavior of a young family member. What if the monster was not in the woods, but amongst us? Episode Highlights:  Personal accounts of close encounters with werewolves in Georgia Author Linda S. Godfrey’s research on the American Werewolf Ghost-hunters investigate the cemetery linked to the monster Livestock slaughters and oral history in rural Georgia Hunting parties searching for a killer wolf The troubling story of Isabella Burt Theories on the origins of a werewolf  Resources:  Hunting the American Werewolf by Linda S.

005: Shadow of the Wolf

The idyllic Fox Hollow Farm boasts of a basement-level swimming pool and sprawling acres of land. But all is not as it seems. A man creeps through the woods nearby, his legs transparent in the flashlight’s beam. There is an incessant knocking at the front door by hands unseen. Night swims in the pool end with ghostly fingers clenched tight around a throat. For Joe Leblanc, Fox Hollow Farm was meant to be an escape from a long commute and skyrocketing rent. For the dozens of men buried on its grounds, Fox Hollow Farm had come to represent something much more sinister. Episode Highlights:  Joe Leblanc Fox Hollow Farm and the Graves family The man with no legs Herb and Julie Baumeister A knock in the night Herb’s dark history Bones in the yard Twisted games An altar in the woods  Resources:   “While Julie Was Away” People Magazine Article, 1996  Where the Bodies are Buried by Frannie Weinstein and Melinda Wilson “Fox Hollow Farm” Paranormal Witness, Season 2, Episode 8    Enjoyed this episode?
