  • Monthly Spooky | America’s Most Haunted Lake? Ghost Stories, Dark History & Bizarre Spooky News

    Monthly Spooky | America’s Most Haunted Lake? Ghost Stories, Dark History & Bizarre Spooky News
    Apr 27 2026
    Lake Lanier’s haunted history takes center stage in this episode of Monthly Spooky, as we dive into one of America’s most infamous bodies of water: a man-made Georgia lake built over abandoned communities, graves, tragedy, folklore, and decades of eerie legends. Is Lake Lanier truly haunted, or is its chilling reputation the result of real history, preventable danger, and stories too disturbing to sink quietly beneath the surface?

    Inside this episode:

    • Lake Lanier’s dark origins — flooded towns, displaced communities, cemeteries, and the unsettling history behind one of the South’s most infamous lakes.
    • The Lady of the Lake and ghostly legends — eerie apparitions, mysterious drownings, haunted water, and folklore that refuses to stay buried.
    • Real danger beneath the ghost stories — boating accidents, disappearances, negligence, alcohol, safety concerns, and the tragic reality behind the lake’s reputation.
    • Captain Dave’s haunted lake tour stories — local ghost lore, eerie sightings, and the strange appeal of Lake Lanier as a haunted destination.
    • How folklore becomes reality — why places marked by tragedy often turn into legends, curses, and ghost stories.

    Plus fresh spooky news:
    • A haunted swingers club with paranormal investigators called in.
    • Pluckley, England, the “most haunted village in Britain,” reportedly packed with ghosts.
    • A hiker discovering a human skull in a remote California desert.
    • Mysterious explosions and strange lights near Lake Ontario.
    • A hot air balloon making an emergency backyard landing.
    • A professional cornhole player arrested for murder.
    • Strange space debris, meteor talk, and recent horror movie riffing.

    Whether you’re here for ghost stories, haunted places, true crime, bizarre news, urban legends, dark history, or creepy comedy, this episode stands alone as a full spooky deep dive into the mysteries of Lake Lanier and the weirdest stories of the month.

    So what do you think: is Lake Lanier cursed, haunted, dangerously misunderstood… or all of the above?

  • Unknown Broadcast | Five Old-Time Radio Horror Stories of Love, Murder, and Suspense

    Unknown Broadcast | Five Old-Time Radio Horror Stories of Love, Murder, and Suspense
    Apr 26 2026
    Unknown Broadcast slips back into the Weekly Spooky feed with more old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage mystery radio, murder, supernatural bargains, gothic dread, crime, and dark escape drama. This episode opens with Mother Love, a chilling Radio Mystery Theater tale in which Paula Richards, devastated by the certainty that she can never bear a child, turns to a fortune teller and dealer in the macabre for a bargain that promises hope at a terrible price.

    🕯️ Mother Love — Desperation, longing, and the supernatural curl together in a story about impossible motherhood and the danger of asking fate to bend. It is intimate, eerie, and cruel in exactly the way classic radio horror should be.
    🥂 The Weakling — From the shadows comes “the unusual story of The Weakling,” following young Clyde Banning, son of a district attorney, stepping out of a nightclub after a New Year’s Eve party and into trouble that feels doomed from the start. This one has the bite of noir weakness curdling into tragedy.
    🕷️ Will You Walk into My Parlor — The title alone drips with invitation and menace, and placed here it feels like a trap disguised as courtesy. It suggests seduction, danger, and the old fatal mistake of stepping willingly toward what should have been feared.
    🕰️ Mr. Markham, Antique Dealer — Suspense takes us into the cold dark preservation of the past, where antique clocks, deep carpets, and old secrets rustle behind polished surfaces. By the end, it becomes a tale of murder, guilt, and the terrible practicality of hiding a body.
    🌊 The Fourth Man — The night closes with Escape, inviting us to flee from Noumea in John Russell’s The Fourth Man, a story steeped in peril, survival, and the kind of desperation that makes men show their true natures. It is a strong, hard finish with salt, fear, and doom in the air.

    For listeners chasing classic OTR horror, vintage suspense radio, supernatural bargains, murder stories, old-time radio crime, and eerie anthology storytelling, this transmission has all the right shadows — and some doors should never have been opened in the first place.

  • Cryptids, Chupacabras, Demon Dogs, and Future Monsters: 4 Scary Horror Stories of Beasts and Survival

    Cryptids, Chupacabras, Demon Dogs, and Future Monsters: 4 Scary Horror Stories of Beasts and Survival
    Apr 25 2026
    Cryptid horror, monster stories, demon dogs, chupacabra terror, survival horror, and futuristic creature nightmares collide in this brutal Weekly Spooky compilation. If you love creature features, deadly folklore beasts, wilderness horror, paranormal monsters, and stories where something inhuman is hunting in the dark, this episode is stacked with claws, teeth, blood, and pure nightmare energy.

    Tonight’s lineup runs from a summoned hellhound with murder on its leash, to a terrifying mystery stalking the African wild, to a school trip that turns into a face-to-face encounter with El Chupacabra, and finally to a far-future wasteland filled with mutant monstrosities and post-apocalyptic beast combat. These stories hit from every angle: occult cryptids, survival panic, creature-feature thrills, and monsters that do not care whether you believe in them.

    • The Hellhowler — by Joe SolmoA paranormal investigator named James Becker is pulled into a case involving wealth, suspicion, occult magic, and a hellhound summoned from the Abyss. It’s pulpy, funny, dangerous, and packed with demon-dog dread and supernatural detective energy.
    • The Monster’s Not Real — by Charles CampbellTwo wildlife documentarians in South Africa discover that the thing hunting the plains is far worse than any predator they were prepared for. This one is tense, strange, and relentless, mixing wilderness survival horror with a genuinely unnerving cryptid vibe.
    • The Beast of Roca de Vaca — by Morgan MooreA class trip to a ranch becomes a full-on monster hunt when livestock start turning up dead and the legend of El Chupacabra turns out to be very real. It’s fast, fun, creepy, and loaded with classic creature-feature excitement.
    • Future Taibon — by Rob FieldsIn a ruined future world, Cassillia Taibon awakens in a transformed body and immediately finds herself battling bizarre werewolf-scorpion hybrids and other horrors in the shadow of apocalypse. This one blends monster action, horror sci-fi, and Halloween-night chaos into something wild and larger than life.

    From demon howls in the hills to blood-drained livestock, impossible machines, and something waiting in the grass, this collection is all about what happens when the monster is real after all—and far too close to outrun.
