Show notes

Project Blue Book investigated 12,618 UFO reports, leaving 701 unidentified when the U.S. Air Force closed the program. Terrifying & True follows the Cold War search for explanations through radar contacts, witness accounts and disputed sightings. From the Washington, D.C., incidents to “swamp gas,” the episode explores the gap between official conclusions and public suspicion. Unidentified reports did not establish alien visitors, but incomplete evidence left plenty of room for questions. What did the investigators learn—and what remained beyond their reach? We're telling that story tonight.

Book Return — A Cursed Book Unleashes a Demon in a Library Aug 28, 2024

Show notes

A forbidden book hidden inside a library wall turns the night shift into a demonic emergency. In Douglas Waltz’s “Book Return,” a Battle Creek librarian finds a leather-bound volume marked “Interitus”—destruction. Opening it gives a late-night patron something far worse than a good read. With the quiet stacks becoming a battleground, local history and the mysterious Jerome Blackwell may hold the only useful clues. This occult horror story makes an ordinary library mishap feel like the worst possible reason to break a book’s spine.

A menacing doll in an Edinburgh charity shop, wild monkeys disrupting a Thai city and ghost hunters in an abandoned school lead Monthly Spooky’s August 2024 conversation. Henrique Couto and Michelle also visit the legends surrounding Greyfriars Kirkyard before turning to myths about the Moon. Haunted objects, alleged voices and lunar folklore offer plenty to question—and laugh about. Why do ordinary places and familiar sights become so unsettling once someone gives them a ghost story?

A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe: Lost Joy, Memory & a Light in the Darkness Aug 23, 2024

Show notes

A vanished happiness returns in sleep, offering a lonely speaker more comfort than the waking world. Edgar Allan Poe’s “A Dream” is a brief poem about lost joy, memory and the distant light that can guide someone through darkness. This atmospheric reading reveals a quieter side of Poe: grief and hope share the same image, and the dream matters precisely because it cannot last. For listeners drawn to Gothic poetry and melancholy rather than a monster or a murder, this short episode makes room for the feeling that the past can be both painful and precious.
