    At a dull dinner party, a man conjures up an imaginary companion—“a woman in grey”—claiming she’ll haunt those he dislikes so he doesn’t have to deal with them. His fabrication starts having real consequences: people he dislikes begin to die, and he suspects his own creation has taken on a chilling existence!

  • CHRONICLES OF THE BLACK DEATH: Pus, Pee, and Plague Doctors – Medieval Medicine’s Worst Moments

    CHRONICLES OF THE BLACK DEATH: Pus, Pee, and Plague Doctors – Medieval Medicine’s Worst Moments
    Jun 16 2025
    #WeirdDarknessRadio WEEK OF JUNE 15, 2025: During the Black Death, medieval Europeans bathed in vinegar, slept on rotting straw, dumped waste in the streets — and still couldn’t figure out why everyone was dying.==========HOUR ONE: During the bubonic plague in the early Middle-Ages, those who became sick and were even suspected of having the plague, were forced to relocate to a quarantined island – Poveglia Island. The gruesomeness that took place there still continues today, with the island being illegal to visit – and reportedly, very haunted. (Inside Black Plague Island) *** We look at some of the bathing – and lack thereof – that took place during the bubonic plague, as well as some of the beliefs they had about diet and how it might protect from contagion. Some of the ideas of what people thought could protect them from the disease are nothing short of shocking. (Living With The Black Death)==========HOUR TWO: About 80 years after the black plague began, a different plague came upon England – a fatal one that would cause you to almost instantly perspire to death. (Death By Sweat) *** Most everyone is familiar with the plague in Europe in the early 1400s – but in the early 1900s it struck again. This time in San Francisco. If you’ve not heard that before, it could be because the U.S. government tried to cover it up. (The Plague of San Francisco) *** Of all the imagery that comes to mind when hearing the words “bubonic plague” the most prevalent is most certainly that of the doctors – and the odd, bird-like masks they would wear. Why they dressed that way is interesting – but what the doctors did while wearing those suits and in their labs as they tried to battle the illness is absolutely horrifying. (Plague Doctors) *** And it probably comes as no surprise that something so deadly and horrific as the black plague would leave behind some residual paranormal energy – and boy is there a lot of it. (A Plague of Ghosts)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: We look at some of the bathing – and lack thereof – that took place during the bubonic plague, as well as some of the beliefs they had about diet and how it might protect from contagion. Some of the ideas of what people thought could protect them from the disease are nothing short of shocking. (Living With The Black Death – CONTINUED) *** Europe just could not escape plagues of any kind – for example, the plague that made you, against your will, keep dancing until you dropped dead.

    THE ABDUCTIONS OF LYNDA JONES: Missing Time, Alien Pregnancy, Men In Black, and Decades of Terror
    Jun 16 2025
    Over four decades, Lynda Jones experienced multiple alien abductions beginning with a terrifying 1979 encounter that left her with 90 minutes of missing time, mysterious pregnancies she never remembered, and recurring visits from sinister men in trilby hats.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

(The Flight 191 Disaster) *** In 1966, Richard Speck committed a crime so horrific it gave birth to the term "random mass murder" and changed America forever. His brutal slaying of eight nursing students in Chicago shocked the nation. His time in prison, depraved. (The Original Random Mass Murderer) *** Decimation, was a horrifying practice, where one in ten soldiers would be randomly selected and beaten to death by their own comrades. It continued much longer than most think… well into the 20th century! (Death By Decimation) *** In the 19th century, a man named Samuel Rowbotham sparked a controversial movement by claiming the Earth was flat – and the flat Earth theory continues to attract people even today. (Rejecting The Curve) *** The Ark of the Covenant, a legendary religious artifact, has captivated imaginations for millennia, sparking countless theories about its true nature and whereabouts.
