Final Broadcast: Paranormal Horror Stories & Eerie Broadcasts May 20, 2026

Show notes

The callers on Lost in the Void know more than overnight radio host Randall Burr expects—and their stories are starting to connect. Final Broadcast by Henrique Couto celebrates Weekly Spooky's 400th episode with a feature-length horror audio drama featuring Duane Whitaker of Pulp Fiction and The Devil's Rejects. Haunted highways, impossible encounters, and voices reaching places they shouldn't turn a call-in show into a threat to the man at the microphone. As the signal slips beyond his control, Randall must work out who is really listening. Stay tuned for a night inside the static.

Terrifying & True | Beast of Bray Road: Wisconsin Werewolf Folklore & Cryptid Horror May 18, 2026

Show notes

Drivers near Elkhorn, Wisconsin, reported a wolf-headed figure beside Bray Road. Linda Godfrey's reporting helped turn those accounts into the Beast of Bray Road, one of America's best-known dogman legends. Terrifying & True follows the early-1990s sightings, the newspaper investigation, and the werewolf folklore that gathered around a rural road. Witness claims meet possible explanations involving bears, wolves, and mistaken identity, with no physical proof establishing a monster. What makes a frightening roadside encounter become a legend that survives long after the headlights pass?

Unknown Broadcast | Three Women & Sire de Maletroit’s Door — Gothic Horror and Murder May 17, 2026

A writer's creation refuses to stay on the page, and a stranger steps through a door he may not be allowed to leave. Unknown Broadcast gathers Three Women, Sire de Maletroit's Door, The Last Letter of Dr. Bronson, and The Man Who Waited. More than two hours of old-time radio suspense move through obsessive fiction, a gothic trap involving marriage and honor, a doctor's confession, and a household poisoned by jealousy. These four vintage mysteries make letters, invitations, and quiet patience dangerous. Listen for the moment a polite exchange becomes a threat no one can take back.

Scary Real-Life Hauntings | Urban Legends & Eerie Paranormal Mysteries May 15, 2026

Show notes

Bloody Mary waits in the mirror, sleep paralysis brings waking terror, and Kansas City's Room 1046 holds an unsolved murder. Seven Terrifying & True investigations connect these subjects with the Poltergeist film curse, chain letters, the Corpsewood Manor murders, and the Herrmann family poltergeist reports. This collection explores how rumors grow around real deaths, frightening experiences, and homes. Over two and a half hours of folklore, dark history, and true crime ask why some stories keep spreading. Reported hauntings and curse legends remain distinct from documented events.
