    1D AGO

    Monthly Spooky | Evil Ghost Baby Exorcism, Boston Skull Mystery, and the New England Vampire Panic

    This time on Monthly Spooky, Henrique & Michelle tear into spooky news, true crime weirdness, and classic American vampire lore—the kind of stories that feel like they should be fake… but we're not so lucky.  Inside this episode: Galway exorcism: the headline that sounds impossible—“poltergeist of dead baby torments family”—and why it set the tone for the night. Rhode Island UFO sighting: a pilot report of an unexplained object over Rhode Island, and the eternal question—do you believe? Las Vegas escaped toucan: a rescue group tries to catch an escaped toucan before the desert weather does. Boston skull in concrete: a grim discovery that kicks up rumors, crime-history vibes, and that “what if it’s worse than we think?” feeling. New England vampire panic: how tuberculosis/consumption + grief + superstition became “vampires,” and how that lore echoes into modern horror.  New here? This episode stands alone—jump in for ghosts, UFOs, true crime, folklore, and horror history with plenty of laughs along the way. 🎧 LISTEN NOW and subscribe for spine-tingling horror stories every week! 🎉 Unlock exclusive bonus episodes and support the show on Patreon! 👉 WeeklySpooky.com/Join 📬 Contact Us / Submit Your Horror Story!

  3. Unknown Broadcast | Signals from the Dead Air: Four Classic Radio Horror Tales of Revenge and Ruin

    2D AGO

    Unknown Broadcast | Signals from the Dead Air: Four Classic Radio Horror Tales of Revenge and Ruin

    Unknown Broadcast slips into the Weekly Spooky feed again—bringing old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, and vintage radio mystery that feels like you found a station you were never meant to tune in. Tonight’s signal carries four tales where grifts rot into consequences, quiet rooms turn hostile, and the universe starts enforcing its own rules… with a smile: 📻 “Medium Rare” (CBS Radio Mystery Theater) — A fake medium sells comfort to the grieving—until the dead decide they’re done being good customers. What starts as a clever con turns into supernatural payback that’s equal parts cruel… and deserved.🔔 “Bells” (Suspense) — A home that should feel safe. A relationship that should feel warm. And a sound that keeps ringing like a warning you can’t unread. The longer it goes, the more it feels like the house itself is listening.👔 “Career Man” (The Whistler) — Ambition is a lovely mask—right up until it slips. When success becomes a hunger, someone always ends up on the menu… and The Whistler is delighted to tell you who.🐍 “Snake Doctor” (Escape to the Unknown) — Down around Cashier Creek, there’s money, secrets, and a man who knows snakes better than people. But folklore has a funny way of collecting interest—especially when you wander too close to what should’ve stayed buried. If you love classic radio suspense, OTR horror, and that delicious feeling of dread wrapped in velvet—this episode’s for you. Keep the dial close. If the static starts sounding like your name… don’t worry. Probably. 🎧 LISTEN NOW and subscribe for spine-tingling horror stories every week! 🎉 Unlock exclusive bonus episodes and support the show on Patreon! 👉 WeeklySpooky.com/Join 📬 Contact Us / Submit Your Horror Story!

    Edgar Allan Poe Horror Stories: The Black Cat, The Cask of Amontillado, and More Classic Gothic Tales

    Classic Edgar Allan Poe horror stories—gothic terror, madness, murder, and psychological dread—all in one chilling anthology. If you love classic horror, dark literature, and Victorian-era nightmares, this Poe compilation is built for you: guilt that won’t stay buried, revenge sealed behind bricks, obsession that rots the mind, and survival-horror fear sharpened to a razor’s edge. Inside this episode: • The Black Cat — a confession soaked in alcohol-fueled violence, guilt, and the uncanny feeling that something is watching from the dark. • Morella — grief, identity, and a haunting that crawls into the heart of a family and refuses to let go. • The Cask of Amontillado — Poe’s coldest revenge tale: a smiling invitation, a wine cellar, and a final brick laid in silence. • The Pit and the Pendulum — pure claustrophobic survival horror: imprisonment, panic, and the merciless countdown of the pendulum’s arc. • Berenice — obsession turns grotesque as love, memory, and fixation spiral into something unspeakable. Whether you’re here for classic ghost stories, murder confessions, or psychological horror that still hits hard today—press play, turn the lights down, and let Poe do what he does best. 🎧 LISTEN NOW and subscribe for spine-tingling horror stories every week! 🎉 Unlock exclusive bonus episodes and support the show on Patreon! 👉 WeeklySpooky.com/Join 📬 Contact Us / Submit Your Horror Story!

    Deals with the Devil: Horror Stories of Demons, Curses, and Dark Bargains

    Devil deals, cursed bargains, crossroads temptation, and payback from hell — this Weekly Spooky horror compilation is packed with supernatural revenge, demonic contracts, and the kind of “too good to be true” offers that always come with blood in the fine print. Tonight’s theme: Deals with the Devil. Four stories. Four bargains. And every single one of them comes due. Stories in this compilation (in order): “The Deal Was Great, But The Payments Are Hell” — Joe Solmo: A paranoid man on the run thinks he’s being hunted… but the truth at his motel door is far worse than he imagined. “Even Witches Can Cry” — Charles Campbell: A grieving mother makes the one promise you never make… and the debt collector shows up when life finally feels normal again. “Gamble with the Devil” — David O’Hanlon: A would-be mercenary wants glory on camera—until a “simple” raid turns into an invitation to something ancient, hungry, and very real. “The Devil Knows Three Chords” — John Oak Dalton: Two bluegrass legends hit a breaking point backstage in 1968… and one of them may have gotten famous the wrong way.  If you love scary stories, demon lore, witchcraft horror, and crossroads mythology, press play… and remember: the devil doesn’t need your soul up front—just your signature. 🎧 LISTEN NOW and subscribe for spine-tingling horror stories every week! 🎉 Unlock exclusive bonus episodes and support the show on Patreon! 👉 WeeklySpooky.com/Join 📬 Contact Us / Submit Your Horror Story!

  6. Road Trip: Snowbound in a Small-Town Bar With Monsters and a Militia

    6D AGO

    Road Trip: Snowbound in a Small-Town Bar With Monsters and a Militia

    Road trip horror meets supernatural action in a snow-choked small town where bad decisions don’t stay personal for long. Caroline Quinn—government “Troubleshooter,” part vampire, and currently running from her own heartbreak—heads west to disappear for two weeks… only to end up in Germfask, Michigan, a place with failing cell service, bitter cold, and a neon sign that simply says BEER. Inside a rural dive called The Den, the locals aren’t just unfriendly—they’re organized. Armed. Watching. And when Caroline realizes she didn’t walk into a bar at all but something closer to a lair, the night turns into a brutal fight for survival against a violent crew tied to the Claw of the Northern Patriots. If you like creature-feature terror, small town nightmare vibes, winter horror, and a protagonist who can break steel but still can’t say the one thing that matters… buckle up. This one is fast, bloody, and freezing.

    FEB 16

    Terrifying & True | Stanley Hotel: The Shining Origin and America’s Most Haunted Hotel

    The Stanley Hotel isn’t just a famous haunted hotel in Estes Park, Colorado—it’s a place where real disaster and pop-culture horror fused into one unstoppable legend. Tonight, we trace the true story that begins with a stormy night in 1911, when acetylene gas silently pooled inside Room 217… and a single candle turned the west wing into a blast zone. A young head chambermaid, Elizabeth Wilson, is hurled through collapsing floors—and somehow survives.  From there, the Stanley’s history becomes a slow-burn nightmare: financial collapse, empty winter hallways, and decades of ghost lore—from whispers of F.O. Stanley still “checking in” on the lobby, to tales of Flora Stanley’s phantom piano echoing through silent rooms. Then comes the turning point: October 30, 1974—a nearly empty hotel, a writer in Room 217, and a nightmare that helps ignite Stephen King’s The Shining (without claiming ghosts as fact).  And once the Stanley becomes the pilgrimage site for horror fans, the modern era kicks the door in—paranormal TV, viral “evidence,” festivals, and a full-tilt business model built on one irresistible question: is it haunted… or is it just brilliantly haunted-by-storytelling?  A real explosion. A real survival. A real hotel that learned to live forever as a legend.We’re telling that story tonight.  🎧 LISTEN NOW and subscribe for spine-tingling horror stories every week! 🎉 Unlock exclusive bonus episodes and support the show on Patreon! 👉 WeeklySpooky.com/Join 📬 Contact Us / Submit Your Horror Story!
