Terrifying & True | Mary Morris Murders: Two Houston Women, Four Days & an Unsolved Mystery Apr 01, 2024

Show notes

Two Houston-area women named Mary Morris were murdered four days apart in October 2000. Was their shared name a clue or a coincidence? Terrifying & True examines the deaths of Mary Lou Morris and Mary McGinnis Morris, the phone calls surrounding the cases and the theory that a hired killer targeted the wrong woman. That explanation remains unproved, and the episode follows the gaps between suspicion and evidence. Two families lost someone; a memorable theory did not give either of them an answer. What, if anything, connects the murders? We're telling that story tonight.

Unknown Broadcast | In Fear and Trembling: Mary Astor in a Mansion Mystery of Jealousy and Murder Mar 31, 2024

Show notes

Mary Astor plays a woman whose nightmares begin to resemble a murder plan in “In Fear and Trembling.” Lucia fears that her husband Gilbert and half-sister Beverly want her dead. A bitter medicine, an absent housekeeper and the isolation of a seaside mansion give every reassurance a darker meaning. Unknown Broadcast presents J. Donald Wilson’s Suspense drama, where jealousy and foreboding make the household difficult to trust. This Gothic crime mystery asks whether Lucia is recognizing a real threat—or whether fear has made the evidence mean something else.

Thrifting Fail — A Yard-Sale Bowl Brings a Ghost Home Mar 27, 2024

Show notes

A one-dollar ceramic bowl follows a couple home from a yard sale—and will not stay where they put it. In Bruce Haney’s “Thrifting Fail,” Sarah and Keith’s search for a vacuum cleaner ends with a strange piece of pottery stamped “Sylvester.” Moving objects become a presence in the bedroom, and research into the missing artist makes their bargain harder to explain. This haunted-object story turns secondhand shopping into domestic dread. Sarah and Keith only wanted something cheap. What do you do when the previous owner seems to have come with it?

Monthly Spooky | Vanishing Hitchhikers, Bugs in Your Nose, and a Ghostly Love Triangle! Mar 25, 2024

Show notes

A vanishing hitchhiker, an abandoned asylum and a claimed romance with a ghost lead Monthly Spooky’s March 2024 conversation. Henrique Couto and Michelle explore roadside folklore alongside stranger headlines: an Alabama radio station’s stolen tower and an unsettling report about insects in a nose. A spectral passenger may disappear, but some of these stories are much harder to get out of your head. The hosts bring curiosity and skeptical humor to supernatural love, places people fear and one very physical kind of invasion.

Terrifying & True | The Hinterkaifeck Murders — Six Deaths and Signs the Killer Stayed Mar 18, 2024

Show notes

Six people died at Germany’s Hinterkaifeck farm in 1922, and signs suggested someone remained there afterward. Terrifying & True examines the isolated household, reports of unexplained activity before the killings and the investigation that followed the discovery. Written by Morgan Moore, this episode distinguishes evidence from the rumors surrounding the attic, footprints and suspects. The crime scene drew crowds, but no conviction brought clarity to the family’s final days. Who approached the farm—and why might the killer have stayed to tend it? We're telling that story tonight.

Unknown Broadcast | The Tell-Tale Heart — Boris Karloff’s Nightmare of Heightened Hearing Mar 17, 2024

Boris Karloff plays a musician whose restored hearing becomes unbearable in this unusual version of “The Tell-Tale Heart.” Simon’s treatment lets him hear far beyond ordinary limits, while another patient’s sight has been similarly transformed. Unknown Broadcast presents an Inner Sanctum adaptation inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, expanding the familiar story into experimental medicine, jealousy and sensory terror. When sound becomes impossible to escape, even silence offers little comfort. This radio nightmare gives a heartbeat the power to turn a private crime into an accusation.
