    TERRIFYING TRUE FOREST HORROR STORIES: There Is Nowhere To Run To In The Woods Sep 29, 2026

    People living and working in remote areas often encounter things far creepier than just silence. These are real-life stories of unsettling encounters, from faces at the window to gruesome discoveries deep in the woods.

    FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: People who live and work in remote areas know that sometimes too much quiet can make your mind race. However, some experiences stick with people long after they occur because of the degree of creepiness. On Reddit, plenty of people who live in rural areas or make their livelihood there, share their scary stories for the rest of us to freak out over. We know that often strange people linger around woods, parks, and other desolate areas. And we have all heard plenty of the kind of creepy stories that backpackers experience. However, in this episode, the stories are more than a little unpleasant, because the people who suffered them weren't just out and about anywhere; they were at their homes, or doing their jobs. Imagine living in the woods, and looking up from your bathtub to see a face looking back at you. Or imagine you are working as a forest ranger and come across a thumb nailed to a tree. Tonight I will share some of the terrifying real-life stories, stories that are the stuff of nightmares.

    Weird Darkness host Darren Marlar shares wilderness horror stories from Reddit, told by people who live out in the country, park rangers who work the backcountry, and backpackers from Alabama to the Adirondacks.
    It opens with a woman alone at night on a rural property who saw a man's face at her kitchen window, and the next day she and her husband found his makeshift cabin on their land, where he'd stashed canned goods from their kitchen and pinned up selfies taken in their bed. Others describe an intruder in rural Louisiana with a white sheet tied over his head and a peeper in the Australian desert who stacked wooden pallets under a bathroom window to see in.
    From there, the park rangers take over, starting with a trip leader on Mount Sterling in North Carolina who watched a man with no headlamp or gear sit under a tree and stare at a camp of middle schoolers until 3:30 in the morning. Rangers also came across a human thumb nailed to a tree, a child's stuffed animal hanging from a noose, and a cleanly severed deer head with no blood, lying on a trail in Yellowstone's Lamar Valley.
    The episode closes with backpackers, including a 12-year-old and his older brother who hid on an Alabama hilltop while hog hunters with dogs fired into the woods around their campsite, and two friends in the Adirondacks who watched a man with a shotgun search their tent. A solo hiker's Kodak disposable camera came back from Costco with ten pictures of the hiker asleep inside the tent, and another backpacker found a cell phone deep in the woods, still switched on, with 911 as the last number dialed.


    Fort Worth's Goat-Man And The Summer Texas Went Monster Hunting | #WDRadio Sep 28, 2026
    Show notes

    In July 1969, six frightened people told Fort Worth police they'd been attacked near Greer Island on Lake Worth by something half-man and half-goat, covered in fur and scales, and within days hundreds of armed hunters were combing the woods for a creature nobody has been able to put a name to in the more than fifty years since.
    ==========
    HOUR ONE: “Jerry Meets A Sasquatch” *** Greer Island, a small patch of land close to where the West Fork of the Trinity River flows into Lake Worth, is heavily shaded by tall oaks, cedar elms and cottonwoods. One of the quietest spots in Fort Worth, the island is home to egrets and owls, perhaps an alligator or two. And maybe, just maybe, the Lake Worth Monster. (The Lake Worth Monster) *** In 2017, Washington State Senator Karen Keiser was quoted as saying, “The incidents continue, they continue, and we have to consider that there is potential cosmic life over the island… it’s a very special place, with a cosmic presence.” What exactly happened on Maurey Island in 1947? (The Maurey Island Incident) *** Whether you’re a true believer or one of those skeptics, stories of spirits haunting the living from the confines of a Ouija board can chill you to the bone, and make you think twice before communicating with entities from another dimension. (True And Disturbing Ouija Board Stories)
    ==========
    HOUR TWO: Did she drown? Did she commit suicide? Despite her death in 1889, we still don’t know how Maggie Hourigan died. (The Mystery of Maggie Hourigan) *** In 1958 Gavin Gibbons wrote a children’s science-fiction novel By Space Ship to the Moon, which featured a UFO landing on Moel Sych in the Berwyn Mountains of North Wales. Sixteen years later, in a surreal case of life imitating art, those very same mountains would again be the focus for a story involving a downed UFO. But this time, some said, the story was for real. (The UFO Case That Refuses to Die) *** What if creatures like gnomes and imps aren’t just real – but also evil? (Nasty Gnomes, Evil Imps and Terrifying Tommyknockers)

    REANIMATOR by H.P. Lovecraft | #MidnightInTheMacabre Sep 27, 2026
    Show notes

    The story was written as a serial, published one chapter at a time from October 1921 to June 1922 in the amateur publication Home Brew. And because it was written during this time, you will hear language not considered politically correct today – particularly that of words used to describe people of color. But as I have done in the past, I am leaving it all intact to preserve the author’s words in their original form, and so we never forget our sometimes horrible history.
    ABOUT THE STORY: It’s a classic tale from H.P. Lovecraft entitled “Herbert West: Reanimator”. Herbert West is perhaps the best-known of Lovecraft’s human characters. Most people upon hearing the word “Reanimator” will automatically think of the film from 1985 of the same name – based upon the story you’re about to hear. But loosely based. Very… loosely… based. They went more in a comedy direction with the film. Some believe Lovecraft did intend his originally story to be a parody of Frankenstein. But it doesn’t really feel like a parody. At least, to the extent that parodies are supposed to be funny. Also, Herbert West is the antithesis of Victor Frankenstein. Whereas Mary Shelley’s scientist is mad only to the extent he is prone to wild flights of passionate emotion and expressing himself in florid romantic speeches, Herbert West is hyper-rational, dispassionate, amoral, and unsentimental. Where Frankenstein is wracked with debilitating guilt, West is a sociopath, driven by a desire to prove his theories correct no matter what the cost. Maybe Lovecraft’s point was that if anyone was going to bring dead bodies back to a kind of “life,” it would be a ruthless and unemotional scientist, not someone who sounds suspiciously like a lovesick poet. And, I guess he’s probably right. Still, if you’re after the big laughs like what was in the movie, “Herbert West: Reanimator” is not the place to find them. It’s a story in six parts, but each part is essentially the same as the others: West reanimates a corpse. Reanimated corpse starts wrecking everything. West and the narrator conceal their involvement. Rinse and repeat. The story was written as a serial, published one chapter at a time from October 1921 to June 1922 in the amateur publication “Home Brew”. And because it was written during that time, you will hear language not considered politically correct today – particularly that of words used to describe people of color. But as I have done in the past, I am leaving it all intact to preserve the author’s words in their original form, and so we never forget our sometimes horrible history.
