Terrifying & True | Annie Börjesson: The Unsolved Death on a Scottish Beach May 12, 2025

Show notes

Annie Börjesson was found dead on a beach at Prestwick, Scotland, in December 2005. Her family questioned the official account and sought answers about her final movements near the airport. Terrifying & True follows the timeline, disputed interpretations of the evidence, and the struggle to obtain records. It also examines cover-up and mistaken-identity theories as claims, without treating them as established explanations. This account centers on the gap between an official conclusion and the questions left with those who knew Annie. What can the surviving record actually tell us?

Show notes

A voice turns to Mary, Queen of Angels, for guidance through sorrow and darkness. This brief dramatic reading of Edgar Allan Poe's Catholic Hymn, also known as Hymn, offers a quieter encounter with the author of The Raven. Prayer, memory, and the hope of protection give the poem its solemn movement. Listen for the images of light that answer the speaker's hours of care, and for a devotional side of Poe beyond his tales of terror. A three-minute literary interlude for listeners exploring Gothic poetry, nineteenth-century verse, and the emotional range of a familiar writer.

I Love the Cold — Winter Roadside Entity and Blizzard Transformation Horror May 07, 2025

Show notes

Jerod Styles' late-night rideshare ends off an icy road with an elderly passenger, dead batteries, and a storm that seems to hide someone waiting for them. I Love the Cold by Jonathan Lumpkin turns a blizzard survival story into a frightening invitation to surrender. The car still runs, but phones and other devices fail. A fire reveals shapes in the snow, while a stranger's comforting presence makes the danger harder to resist. Cold, isolation, and unreliable memory close around a driver who needs to keep moving. What if the thing that could kill you feels like the warmth you need?
