  DON'T FEED IT: The Hungry Thing That Fell On A New York Farm | #MidnightInTheMacabre 03.10.2026 37min

  A grayish-black disk the size of a truck tire turns up in the ditch by a professor's front lawn in upstate New York, and whatever touches it, from a clod of dirt to the end of a spade, dissolves into it; by the next day, it's eight feet across. A blowtorch, and a sledgehammer don't do any better against it. EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/DontFeedItSOURCES and RESOURCES: “The Leech” by Robert Sheckley: https://amzn.to/3TXtU9NWeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.

It opens in Andrea Cordle's backyard, where the Grove City Messenger writer is brushing off a caller's push for a werewolf article when a howl rises from the tree line and something large gallops after her to the back door. From there it follows Sean Dyer, a homesick boy dropped off with his Uncle Curtis and Aunt Jade for Halloween weekend while his parents close on a new house in North Carolina; the town is under a sundown curfew that no adult will explain, and a police officer sends Sean and his uncle home from Tammy's Pizza on Broadway before dark. The next morning the TV news reports that a beast crashed through the front window of Skylark's Toys and Comics and attacked owner Darren Neff, and at the Grove City Visitor Center, Teresa Breckenridge quietly tells Sean that people all over town have seen a giant wolf walking upright on two legs. By Sunday a second attack has made the news, police are urging everyone to stay indoors, and Sean takes a fifty-dollar job helping Reese, the friendly neighbor with a dog named Bongo, clear out his cluttered attic.

  VILE VORTICES: The Bermuda Triangle, Sea Serpents, And Ghost Ships 02.10.2026 49min

  Five Navy bombers vanished on a routine training flight in 1945, and so did a rescue plane sent out to find them; the Bermuda Triangle is one of 12 Vile Vortices Ivan Sanderson mapped around the globe, and the oceans have their own sea serpents and ghost ships too.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/VileVorticesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/55c3tyxyFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The Bermuda Triangle, also called the Devil's Triangle, is a famous part of the ocean where many ships and planes have mysteriously disappeared. Located between Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the tip of Florida, this area has puzzled people for over 100 years. From the spooky disappearance of the USS Cyclops with 306 crew members in 1918 to the more recent sinking of the SS El Faro in 2015, the Bermuda Triangle becomes more mysterious year after year. Tonight we’ll look at some of the strangest events in the Triangle, like Flight 19, which vanished during a routine training mission; and the Witchcraft, a boat that disappeared just minutes after calling for help. We’ll look at other locations around the world similar to the Bermuda Triangle that don’t get the same recognition – but are just as mysterious. And while we’re in the water, we’ll touch on a few ocean ghost stories, and reports of sea monsters. So before we get started, if you tend to get sea sick, you might want to grab your Dramamine.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:01:21.662 = Show Open00:02:05.707 = Bermuda Triangle: A History of Mystery00:10:18.399 = Vile Vortices Around the World ***00:20:14.052 = Monsters Beneath The Waves ***00:38:09.122 = Ocean Ghost Stories00:47:18.818 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Other reports have the creature with no hair at all. Even stranger – whatever this creature, or creatures may be, it’s not always on the ground that they are spotted, but in the sky as well. (Hairy Humanoids of Texas) *** In October of 1973, two fisherman reported seeing a space ship – and two extraterrestrials emerge from the craft when it hovered near the ground. Was this a true case of a close encounter of the third kind, or was something else going on? (Close Encounter in Pascagoula) *** 
The subject of Interview with a Serial Killer — streaming on Netflix now — speaks out in his own chilling words. We’ll reveal the killer inside the thoughts of Arthur Shawcross. (Inside The Twisted Mind of Arthur Shawcross) *** The two most famous goat-like cryptids cause havoc in their respective American hometowns. We’ll look at both the Maryland Goatman and the Pope Lick Monster. (Cloven-Hoff Cryptids) *** Weirdo family member Tyler shares some of the numerous odd things that happened at his house while growing up. It sounds like the woman who used to live there may have decided to return after death to continue her residence.

  TERRIFYING TRUE FOREST HORROR STORIES: There Is Nowhere To Run To In The Woods 29.09.2026 1h 2min

  People living and working in remote areas often encounter things far creepier than just silence. These are real-life stories of unsettling encounters, from faces at the window to gruesome discoveries deep in the woods.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/ForestHorrorREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8cuh5yFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: People who live and work in remote areas know that sometimes too much quiet can make your mind race. 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 were at 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 of nightmares.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:01:39.734 = Show Open00:02:35.745 = Living In Remote Places00:21:34.077 = Park Ranger Scares ***00:40:20.539 = Backpacker Terrors ***01:00:46.336 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.
