    EPISODE BEING DISCUSSED: https://weirddarkness.com/NazisVsNessie

    TEASE: The Weird After Dark “Ghost Hosts” unpack Darren Marlar's latest episode where WWII propaganda turned deadly serious when Mussolini claimed Italy bombed and killed the Loch Ness Monster to prove Allied weakness, a 40-year career criminal's wife disappeared in 1879 only to be found 14 years later strangled under the kitchen floorboards, and Mali's Dogon tribe possessed impossible knowledge about Sirius B—a star invisible without telescopes—centuries before Western science discovered it, claiming fish-like aliens gave them the information. But the real bombshell? NASA astronauts have been seeing UFOs since 1962, leading the agency to institute the code-word 'Santa Claus' and five-second broadcast delays after Neil Armstrong allegedly radioed from the moon in 1969: 'These babies are huge...they're on the moon watching us.

  • Unexplained: Witchcraft, Poltergeists, and the Man Who Wasn't Murdered
    2025/10/17
    EPISODE BEING DISCUSSED: https://weirddarkness.com/ManWhoWasNotMurdered

    SYNOPSIS: The Weird After Dark ghost hosts dissect Darren Marlar's episode "The Man Who Was Not Murdered," exploring four interconnected stories about reality-bending phenomena. The main focus is the 1958 case of James Eugene Harrison, whose blood-soaked station wagon was found in Jacksonville, Florida, leading serial killer Roy Victor Olson to confess to murdering and burying him with accomplice James Leach—only for Harrison to mysteriously appear alive in Phoenix three months later with no memory of his disappearance, leaving authorities unable to explain whose blood saturated his car or what happened during his missing months. The episode examines the 1626 trial of Joan Wright in Essex, England, accused of witchcraft for causing deaths and illness through cursing, but ultimately acquitted when investigators determined her real crime was incompetent sewing that led to poorly-made garments. The hosts analyze the 1938 case of Alma Fielding, a London housewife experiencing violent poltergeist phenomena including flying objects, phantom coal, and psychic shoplifting, investigated by psychologist Nandor Fodor who theorized her repressed trauma from a brutal rape manifested as physical disturbances—essentially arguing her unconscious created an "estranged alter ego" that externalized her internal turmoil. Finally, the discussion explores "Darklings" or shadow people from folklore traditions, described as malevolent entities that move through walls, possess victims, and commit violence, with particular emphasis on New Orleans voodoo queen Marie Laveau's theory that Darklings are literally the evil thoughts of good people made manifest—suppressed darkness that coalesces into physical form. Throughout, the hosts argue these stories share a common thread: the barrier between internal psychological states and external physical reality may be far more porous than we believe, with intense emotions and unacknowledged darkness potentially leaking out to manipulate the world or take monstrous shape.

  • Haunted Queen Mary, Spies, Beards, and Ouija Boards

    EPISODE BEING DISCUSSED: https://weirddarkness.com/queenmary/

    SYNOPSIS: Darren Marlar explores haunted maritime history and tales of persecution in this episode of Weird Darkness. The main feature examines the RMS Queen Mary, a 1936 luxury liner that carried celebrities like Bob Hope, Elizabeth Taylor, and the Kennedys before being drafted as the "Grey Ghost" troop transport during WWII. Now permanently docked in Long Beach, California as a hotel and museum, the ship is considered one of the most haunted structures in America, with up to 150 spirits reported aboard. Notable ghosts include "Half Hatch Harry" (18-year-old crew member John Pedder, crushed by door 13 in 1966), a young girl named "Dana" who allegedly died in a murder-suicide in room B-474 and haunts the cargo hold crying for her mother, a woman in white dancing alone in luxury suites, and numerous spirits in 1930s garb near the pools. The episode details specific paranormal encounters including disembodied voices, temperature drops, phantom figures, and the ship's collision with the HMS Curacoa during WWII that killed 239 sailors. Weirdo family member John Parrish shares a cautionary tale about using a Ouija board in his apartment, which brought three entities into his home: a helpful spirit named Dennis, a prankster named Neela, and a malevolent Shadow Man who terrorized his family until he performed a binding spell after his wife's death. The episode concludes with the remarkable story of Joseph Palmer, a Massachusetts farmer and War of 1812 veteran who was violently attacked in the 1830s by four men with scissors and razors for wearing a full beard—unfashionable at the time. When Palmer defended himself with a knife, he was arrested for "unprovoked assault," fined, and jailed for fifteen months when he refused to pay the $700 bond (nearly $20,000 today). Palmer documented prison abuses, eventually gained release, and spent his remaining decades advocating for prison reform and abolition, living to see beards return to fashion before his death in 1873. His tombstone reads "Persecuted for wearing the beard."
