Listen to ““POLTERGEISTS: SUPERNATURAL OR NOT?” and More True Terrors! #WeirdDarkness” on Spreaker.
IN THIS EPISODE: We’ll look at several cases of reported poltergeist activity and try to determine if it’s supernatural, human in nature, or possibly a little of both. (Poltergeists) *** Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, the Abominable Snowman… unexplained and unproven two-legged hairy beasts are seen all over the world. But there is another strange hairy ape like creature in North America that doesn’t get the same amount of press – but is just as mysterious and frightening as the others. (The Mysterious Devil Monkeys of North America) *** Weirdo family member Danny Rendon tells the true story of… (The Horror on Harbor Lights Drive) *** For over a century, mysterious lights were seen bobbing up and down along the railroad tracks near Maco Station, a few miles west of Wilmington, North Carolina. To this day no one knows what they were. (The Maco Light) *** The tragic Tina Resch case started with the claims of a poltergeist haunting… and ended with the death of a child. (The Tina Resch Poltergeist Case) ***
Weirdo family member Alana describes her childhood home where she heard strange footsteps and banging on doors when no one was home, and a crucifix which refused to stay upright. (The Fallen Crucifix) *** An Australian man tells of a fishing trip where he and a couple of friends come across what appears to be a Yowie or Bigfoot… but more humanlike. (The Hairy Man of Kowmung River) *** Haunting the historic Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia are eerie tales of anguished soldiers, an eternal watch dog, and one hideous vampire with jagged teeth and hanging skin. (The Ghosts of Richmond’s Hollywood Cemetery) *** Were Jack the Ripper’s victims killed to cover up a Royal scandal? (The Royal Ripper Conspiracy)
