  • THE WENDIGO | Terrified Men Sharing The Woods With Something Unholy, Wearing A Dead Man's Face!

    THE WENDIGO | Terrified Men Sharing The Woods With Something Unholy, Wearing A Dead Man's Face!
    Apr 21 2026
    In the remote Canadian wilderness, an ill-fated hunting trip turns into a nightmare when one of the guides vanishes into the night, leaving behind only his screams of burning feet and a trail of something far more terrifying than any beast of the forest.

    FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: “The Wendigo” is a novella written by Algernon Blackwood. It was originally published in the 1910 collection “The Lost Valley and Other Stories” which I’ve placed a link to in the show notes. The story involves a hunting party that gets separated in the Canadian wilderness in search for moose. One of the party members is abducted by the legendary Wendigo. Fellow author Robert Aickman once said of the story, it’s "...one of the (possibly) six great masterpieces in the field". Here’s hoping you agree with him.

  • They Died of Hunger, Their Pockets Full of Cash! | What Was Killing These Old Men?

    They Died of Hunger, Their Pockets Full of Cash! | What Was Killing These Old Men?
    Apr 20 2026
    “The Old Die Rich”: They found him in an alley, dead of hunger, with seventeen thousand dollars sewn into the lining of his coat. He wasn't the first. He wouldn't be the last. Every one of them old. Every one of them starved. Every one of them carrying a bank book whose entries went back fifty years — in ink only months old. Private investigator Mark Weldon has chased the pattern across the city, and the pattern keeps leading back to a brownstone on Eldridge Avenue, and a beautiful red-haired physicist with ice-blue eyes and a want-ad that only hires men nobody will miss. Her name is May Roberts. Her laboratory hums behind a locked door. And the old men who walk through it come home rich — just in time to die. | #RetroRadio #WeirdDarkness | EP0634

  • I Saw A UFO Over Iowa | And Most Christians Would Handle This Wrong!

    I Saw A UFO Over Iowa | And Most Christians Would Handle This Wrong!
    Apr 20 2026
    Last Wednesday, somewhere over Iowa, I watched a shiny object make a ninety-degree turn inside a cloud and then reverse course back into it. I don't know what I saw. But I know that the two responses most Christians would have to a sighting like mine are both wrong — and Scripture actually commands a third way that almost nobody practices.
