  • Dark Witness: Joan of Arc, Execution by Fire & a Modern Alien Encounter
    Dec 16 2025

    History remembers Joan of Arc as a saint, a martyr, and a symbol of faith.


    This episode remembers her as a frightened teenage girl, tied to a post in Rouen in 1431, as the fire climbed and the crowd watched. Told through the eyes of a clerk who stood close enough to feel the heat, this Dark Witness account strips away legend and leaves only what it was like to be there.


    The second story shifts to rural Oregon in the late 1990s. A quiet forest road. A stalled truck. Three lights in the sky. An hour of missing time — and an encounter that follows the witness home.


    Separated by centuries, these two testimonies share the same truth: when you stand too close to history or the unknown, it never truly lets you go.


    Dark Witness presents first-person accounts of execution, fear, and encounters that defy explanation — where horror is not imagined… only remembered.

  • Dark Witness: The Voice Behind the Door & The Man at the Bottom of the Stairs
    Dec 10 2025

    Two terrifying witness accounts in one episode — one supernatural, one all too real.


    In The Voice Behind the Door, a woman staying alone in a remote farmhouse begins hearing whispers at night… soft, cold, and coming from behind her bedroom door. But the voice isn’t just calling her name — it’s trying to get in.


    In The Man at the Bottom of the Stairs, a man living alone wakes to the unmistakable sound of breathing in his house. Over three nights, the presence becomes bolder… until he finally sees the stranger who has been living above him, waiting for the right moment to show himself.


    A double-feature of pure dread — one paranormal, one human — both unforgettable.

  • Dark Witness: The House on Thresher Road & Lights Over Alder Crescent | True Horror & Real UFO Encounter
    Dec 4 2025

    In this chilling episode of Dark Witness, Fraser brings you two terrifying new accounts sent in by listeners — one grounded in eerie, human-level horror, and the other reaching into the unknown world of UFOs and alien encounters.


    The first story, “The House on Thresher Road,” follows a man who moves into a supposedly abandoned countryside property… only to learn he is not the only one living there. Footsteps, doors moving on their own, and footprints that lead into a room with no exit raise one horrifying question: was someone hiding inside that house the entire time?


    The second story, “Lights Over Alder Crescent,” is an extraordinary — and deeply unsettling — witness report from a man who believes a series of strange lights did more than hover above his home… they entered it. What follows is a terrifying encounter involving his young son, glowing orbs inside the house, objects activating by themselves, and scorch marks left behind by something that shouldn’t exist.


    These stories are told exactly as they were submitted.

    No embellishment.

    No fiction.

    Just raw, disturbing accounts from real people who insist their experiences happened exactly as described.


    If you enjoy true horror stories, paranormal witness accounts, alien encounters, and grounded storytelling designed to chill you to the bone, this episode is for you.
