(Haunted Roads and Spook Lights) ========== HOUR TWO: More than a hundred years ago, reports described it as “the most weird and gruesome apartment in the world.” Why display an entire room full of grotesque items and open it to the public? (New York Charnel House) *** Kell’s Irish Pub in Seattle has a creepy vibe to it, even if the displays and decorations inside aren’t meant to be. Perhaps that’s because the building started its life as a massive mortuary. (The Beaux Arts Butterworth Building) *** Early one February morning in 1897, John Mars jumped out of bed from a sound sleep, and while the smell of breakfast cooking downstairs wafted up to the second level of the house, he inexplicably grabbed his pistol and went on a shooting spree of his own family.

John Hartley Robertson) *** A woman comes home to find her visiting sister murdered – and police were convinced she was the one who committed the crime. So what went wrong with the case to allow her to get away with it? (Did Ida Do It?) *** A bordello, pizza, and a haunting. You can find them all at the Red Onion Saloon. (Red Onion Saloon) *** Plus, I’ll share two Creepypastas from Weirdo family members. “A Brief History of Egberting” from Louise Latham, and “Dreamality“ from Kara Raisch. ========== SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT’S SHOW: “The Lady Laughing In My Bedroom” by Geof James: https://tinyurl.com/yd4uddnx “New York Charnel House” posted at: https://tinyurl.com/ybsfs68x “The Beaux Arts Butterworth Building” by Meg van Huygen: https://tinyurl.com/y7h2mkyr “The Act of a Madman” by Robert Wilhelm: https://tinyurl.com/y9757b7d “A Malaysian Haunted House to Sell” by Brandon Grimes for Paranormality Magazine: http://weirddarkness.com/magazine “The Conjure Chest” for The Unexplained Mysteries: https://tinyurl.com/m9w2ffg “The Haunting of Drish House” by Amanda Penn for Horror Media: https://tinyurl.com/y8bovtwp “Haunted Roads and Spook Lights” by Brent Swancer for Mysterious Universe: https://tinyurl.com/ydfwg875 “The Strange Return Of Master Sgt.

Headless riders, vengeful skinwalkers, demon dogs guarding abandoned mines — the frontier may be gone, but its ghosts are still out there. IN THIS EPISODE: First up, we’ll sit around the virtual campfire and I’ll tell you about a few ghosts and legends in the Old West. (Ghosts In The Old West) *** Aspiring actress Milicent Patrick finally found success in front of the camera – but not with her own face, but a face that she created… the Creature From the Black Lagoon. (The Actress Who Created A Legendary Universal Monster) *** You don’t hear of werewolf sightings much anymore – but that doesn’t mean they don’t happen.
