Terrifying & True | Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield & the Crimes That Inspired Horror Aug 19, 2024

Show notes

Ed Gein’s crimes in Plainfield, Wisconsin, helped shape some of horror cinema’s most recognizable monsters. Terrifying & True examines the disappearance of Bernice Worden, the discovery at Gein’s farmhouse and the grave robberies behind its disturbing contents. The episode follows the real case alongside its influence on “Psycho,” “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” and “The Silence of the Lambs,” keeping fiction distinct from the people and crimes that inspired it. How did one isolated farmhouse cast such a long shadow over horror? We're telling that story tonight.

Four Murder and Revenge Horror Stories — Blood Rage, Cannibals & Obsession Aug 16, 2024

Show notes

Four horror stories bring murderous appetites uncomfortably close to home. “Blood Rage” by Rob Fields, “The Dinner Guests” by Shane Migliavacca, “The Fall of Man” by David O’Hanlon and “Deb Debbie Deborah” by Migliavacca explore revenge, dangerous encounters and obsession. Narrated by Henrique Couto, this collection includes cannibal killers and supernatural bloodlust alongside human cruelty. These are people who can look like a neighbor, a lover or a welcome guest—until the ordinary encounter takes a lethal turn. Nearly two hours of murder fiction and unnerving reversals.

Twenty-Two Minutes: A Ghostly Lumberjack & a Countdown to Survival Aug 14, 2024

Show notes

A ghostly lumberjack is hunting Laura, and the 911 dispatcher says help is twenty-two minutes away. In Bruce Haney’s “Twenty-Two Minutes,” a proposal hike has already ended in bloodshed. Now Laura is hiding in a remote ranger station while an axe strikes the trees outside. Bear spray cannot stop an apparition, the trailer offers little protection, and every question costs time. This Pacific Northwest ghost story combines wilderness survival, grim humor and an emergency call that may outlast its caller. How do you hold off something you cannot hurt?

Terrifying & True | Bermuda Triangle: Flight 19, USS Cyclops & the Facts Behind the Legend Aug 12, 2024

Show notes

Flight 19 and the USS Cyclops helped turn the Bermuda Triangle into a legend of vanished ships and aircraft. Terrifying & True revisits the losses, the stories built around them and explanations involving weather, navigation and the difficulty of searching open water. The episode follows how separate maritime mysteries became one supposed paranormal zone, while distinguishing unresolved evidence from claims of aliens or impossible forces. Why does this stretch of ocean remain so powerful in the imagination, even when the legend outruns the record? We're telling that story tonight.

She calls him Johnny, asks for “Stardust” on the radio and awakens a memory he wants buried.

Camping Alone Can Be Terrifying, Especially When Something’s Hunting You! Aug 07, 2024

Show notes

Screams in the forest ruin a solo camping trip before the narrator ever sees what made them. In Michael Kelso’s “Camping Alone Can Be Terrifying, Especially When Something’s Hunting You!”, an abandoned fire and a bloodied trail lead toward an antlered creature that even a bear cannot easily stop. This wilderness horror story follows a camper whose familiar gear offers little comfort against an unfamiliar predator. Reaching the trailhead suddenly matters more than reaching the campsite.
