Between the Texas towns of Denton and Copper Canyon lies Goatman’s Bridge, a haunted relic steeped in sinister legends of lynching, black magic, and a red-eyed demon said to terrorize all who dare to cross. *No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast* IN THIS EPISODE: Legend has it that a brutal lynching and a series of Satanic rituals transformed Goatman’s Bridge in rural Texas into a paranormal hotspot. (The Haunting of Goatman’s Bridge) *** Over six decades later, the brutal, unsolved murders at Lake Bodom continues to haunt Finland... and beyond. (The Lake Bodom Murders) *** A man finds his neighbor laying in the snow, frozen solid – yet somehow she survives. I’ll tell you the miraculous story of Jean Hilliard! (The Hibernating Woman) *** We like to think that 21st Century medicine has brought us more into science and further away from superstition and magic – and that’s mostly true, for the Western World. But in South Africa they’ve not given up the chanting, the dancing, and in some cases… the sacrificing of human lives… all in the name of healing. (Muti Medicine: Ritual Human Sacrifice) *** For anyone who has used a ride-share service like Uber or Lyft, it’s probably happened to you at least once. You’re waiting on your ride to pick you up, you see a car coming your way and you think it’s there for you – only to find out a few seconds later that it’s not. One college girl had this same experience – only she got in to that wrong vehicle, and ended up being murdered for her mistake. (An Uber Mistake) *** The history of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin is wrapped up in Chicago’s wealthiest families having their summer homes there. But even as early as 1912, when people were writing about the city, they said the second most significant thing about this town was the sanitariums. (The Lake Geneva Sanitariums) *** Some old documents were found recently that tell the story of the first time in recorded history that someone was struck by a meteor!

A group of children, their mother, and a teenage National Guardsman went looking for a crashed UFO on a West Virginia hillside in 1952 — and found something in the dark that nobody has been able to fully explain since. *No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast* IN THIS EPISODE: The early 1950s was a time of flying saucer mania, with reports coming in from all over on a regular basis – but one particular incident involving a UFO and then a monster sighting in Braxton County, West Virginia is one of the most intriguing and entertaining encounters on record.  HELPFUL LINKS & RESOURCES… https://WeirdDarkness.com/ALBUMS = Songs and Videos by our Weird Darkness punk band, #DarkWeirdness https://WeirdDarkness.com/STORE = Tees, Mugs, Socks, Hoodies, Totes, Hats, Kidswear & More https://WeirdDarkness.com/HOPE = Hope For Depression or Thoughts of Self-Harm https://WeirdDarkness.com/NEWSLETTER = In-Depth Articles, Memes, Weird DarkNEWS, Videos & More https://WeirdDarkness.com/AUDIOBOOKS = FREE Audiobooks Narrated By Darren Marlar EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/FlatwoodsMonster SOURCES and RESOURCES:“The Flatwoods Monster Event” by Marcus Lowth for UFO Insight: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/35m63825 (Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
