Spooky Times with Eric D

Tonight, 25 years after the crime took place, Eric welcomes back true-blue Spookaroo Susan Barrett to give a book report on if I DID IT: Confessions of the Killer by O.J. Simpson.    This book was written by a ghostwriter working off interviews he'd conducted with Simpson. In it, Simpson goes on at length detailing his issues with ex-wife Nicole and then goes on to, hypothetically, explain how he WOULD have killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman IF he'd done it. O.J. now denies he had anything to do with this book, however recently released interviews and the details contained in the book strongly suggest otherwise.   spookyas.com facebook.com/spookyas   Music by Occultic Overtones

Eric welcomes back Brian Toney to discuss The Most Haunted House in England: Borley Rectory! According to legend, the history of the place goes back to some murders that took place between 1300's-1600's. Murderous monks, wayward nuns, headless gardners and phantom coaches have all been said to haunt the property since then.  From the 1920's through the 1940's the site was investigated by a self-proclaimed paranormal investigator by the name of Harry Price. Price claimed to have made communication with various spirits lurking in the house, but is Mr. Price legit or just another woo-woo hoaxer looking for fame and a payday?

Tonight Eric welcomes his broth Dan Dwinnells back to the show as they talk about Devils and Demons. Sure, we all have a loose idea of what these evil creatures are and we're pretty sure we know who runs the show down in Hell...but it turns out the way most of us think of it is totally wrong!  We'll dive into detail about the differences between THE Devil, devils and demons. Lucifer was the leader of the rebellion against God in Heaven. He is the number one fallen angel...but does that mean he is THE Devil? If so...who is Satan? Or Beelzebub? Tonight we'll get into all that plus discuss some of the better and lesser known members of the evil army. We'll also try to pick our patron devil!

Lord knows I tried, but although many people told me how much they love 1989's Teen Witch, nobody was willing to come on and talk about it with me! Is it such a guilty pleasure??? With a special intro from the film's star, Robyn Lively, tonight I'm rewatching Teen Witch for the first time in at least a decade. Does it hold up as the cult classic it's said to be? Why don't more people go crazy over little brother Richie's performance (it's masterful)? Was I Like Boys legit supposed to be a cheer? Who will be the most popular girl? And of course, did they ever top that? All this and more on tonight's Spooky A S! spookyas.com facebook.com/spookyas Original Music by Occultic Overtones

In a confession supposedly written by Metheny, he claims to have killed at least 7 people. Some, he claimed, we butchered and served as hamburgers at his roadside sandwich stand. These claims have never been verified, and Eric has his doubts about their factualness, but...it does make for one hell of a story!

You asked for it, and Eric delivers! We're diving into some little local legends that may not have enough information to create an entire episode based on, but when combined together the form Myths of Massachusetts Vol. 1!   We begin in Westford, MA, where some strange clues about the founding of America may lay written in stone. The town is home to what has become known as The Westford Knight: a supposed figure of a Scottish Knight holding his shield and sword carved into a slab of stone. Is it possible that a clan of Knights Templar fled Europe in the 14th century to make a new home in Westford? People have been disagreeing over what the design is and who could have created it since at least the late 19th century. If you visit the knight today, you'll see it has been given a very grand viewing area complete with a probably untrue history presented as complete fact!   Next stop, the scariest road in Billerica, MA: the haunted Dudley Road! Why should this semi-rural, forested road be considered so scary? According to the legends, there is an old abandoned insane asylum just off the road. Some say tortured should still linger and possibly seek revenge! Or maybe it has to do with the old abandoned convent. Stories about that place vary, but most involve a combination of nuns and witches...or witch-nuns!   spookyas.com facebook.com/spookyas  Music by Occultic overtones

Enough about that Manson guy, let's take it easy on this episode! Tonight's episode was supposed to be a loving tribute to America's Horror Theme Park: Spooky World..but that did quite pan out so instead Eric Dwinnells and Brian Toney are hitting the road without a script to bring you the almost non-existent yet strangling intriguing story of Ponyhenge in Lincoln, Massachusetts. What is it? Toy ponies in a circle. Why is it? Good question! We'll also travel to the haunted Longfellow's Wayside Inn of Sudbury, Massachusetts to learn about it's ghost, Jerusha! Her story is probably deserving of it's own episode, and maybe one day we'll get to it, but tonight you'll get the bare bones before we travel down the road to visit the famous schoolhouse that figures into the famous nursery rhyme, "Mary Had A Little Lamb". Oh yes, it's a true story...maybe. Eric and Brain learned way more than they ever wanted to know about this classic tail and they pass that knowledge on to you, Spookaroos! spookyas.com facebook.com/spookyas Music by Occultic Overtones

Sure, we all know the story of Little Red Ridinghood...or at least we think we do! In the Brother's Grimm version, a little girl in a red cap is swallowed whole by a devious cross dressing wolf, but she is then rescued by a noble huntsman and she lives happily ever after. But unfortunately for Red, in most versions of the tale, that's not how the story ends. Tonight, based on a version of the story told by Professor Hannah B. Harvey in her course, The Art of Storytelling, Eric adds his own take on the fairytale and breaks down the symbols and themes found in the story. Strap in, theres a lot to unpack!   Also, Eric will talk about the show's gofundme campaign and it's possible heavenly origins as well as update you on the possibility of changing the shows name! spookyas.com facebook.com/spookyas Music by Occultic Overtones

Back from vacation and a ton of technical difficulties, Eric is here to tell you all about what he learned on his recent trip to The Dominican Republic. Tonight you'll learn all about The Ciguapa! The ciguapa are beautiful but deadly wild women who are said to live in remote areas of the DR. If you are not careful, they could lure you into their cave and eat you! Or they could just braid your horse's tail. You never know with those wacky ciguaps. Eric will also talk about similar creatures from European folklore and what such similar descriptions may tell us about ourselves. Plus he'll tell you more than you ever wanted to know about his trip and recent dance contest victory. spookyas.com facebook.com/spookyas Music by Occultic Overtones
