  1. Unknown Broadcast | Four Vintage Tales of Family Ruin, Wartime Espionage, Mad Science, and a Strange Little Visitor

    3H AGO

    Unknown Broadcast | Four Vintage Tales of Family Ruin, Wartime Espionage, Mad Science, and a Strange Little Visitor

    Unknown Broadcast returns with more old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage radio drama, eerie mystery anthologies, and dark audio storytelling slipped loose from the static. This week’s transmission moves from a prison-bred family wound that never healed, to occupied France and a dangerous OSS operation, to a miracle cure that may be something far worse, and finally to the soft, impossible footsteps of a child-sized presence that does not belong in any ordinary room. Four stories. Four distinct kinds of dread. All of them patient. 💰 “Accounts Receivable” — A son forced back into the orbit of his dying criminal father finds that old hatred is easier to carry than forgiveness. Prison, buried money, generational damage, and a home already cracking under financial strain turn this into a bitter family reckoning where every debt comes due. ⚜️ “Operation Fleur de Lys” — Occupied France, the underground, OSS planning rooms, and a mission tied to the coming push into Normandy give this one the charged pulse of wartime espionage. It moves with secrecy, danger, divided loyalties, and the feeling that love and duty may not survive the same operation. 🧠 “The Kettler Method” — A celebrated doctor’s brain operation promises wonders, but the very phrase “the Kettler Method” carries the chill of obsession, pride, and terrible consequences. Mad medicine, professional vanity, and surgical dread make this one feel like science stepping over a line it should never have approached. 👣 “Little Fellow” — Quiet, intimate, and deeply uncanny, this final tale trades overt violence for the hush of something impossible drawing near. A tiny voice, a tiny presence, and the eerie innocence of the title itself make it feel less like a haunting than an intrusion from some smaller, stranger corner of reality.  So settle in for classic radio suspense, vintage horror, old-time radio mystery, and eerie supernatural drama from a feed that never entirely explains itself. Some ghosts come back for revenge, some secrets return for history, and some things arrive so softly you only notice them once they are already in the room.  🎧 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!

    Ghosts, Werewolves, Zombies, and Haunted Houses: 4 Small-Town Horror Stories

    Ghost stories, werewolves, zombies, haunted houses, and small-town horror collide in this creepy collection of four scary stories packed with eerie legends, supernatural terror, and backwoods nightmares.

Tonight’s lineup drags you through cursed water, alien chaos, full-moon bloodshed, and one deeply wrong house that should have been left alone. These stories all share that perfect campfire-horror feeling: ordinary people, local legends, and one terrible night where everything goes bad. • The Spirit of Langley Pond — by Charles CampbellA hot summer night at the water turns into a chilling encounter with an old local legend that never truly died. This one has Southern ghost story energy, eerie atmosphere, and the kind of revenge-from-beyond-the-grave terror that sticks with you.   • Alien Zombie Punks from Upstate New York — by Dan WilderA punk show, New Year’s chaos, falling meteors, and undead weirdness collide in a blood-soaked blast of horror-comedy and cosmic mayhem. It’s wild, nasty, funny, and unlike anything else in the lineup.  • The Beast of Fagan County — by David O’Hanlon A string of brutal killings in a small town leads to paranoia, folklore, and the awful possibility that the monster is closer than anyone wants to believe. This is pure werewolf horror with a gritty small-town edge and a strong coming-of-age nightmare vibe.   • Ghost Story — by A.N. Onimus A trip from the county fair to a strange old house becomes a full descent into dread, apparitions, and things no one should ever see in the dark. This one delivers classic haunted house terror with the intensity of a bad dream you never quite wake up from.  From haunted local folklore to creature-feature carnage, this compilation is all about what waits just outside the glow of town lights. Put on your headphones, lock the doors, and step into a night of ghosts, monsters, and pure Halloween-all-year dread.

    Unknown Broadcast | Four Old-Time Radio Stories of Fear, Deception, and Doom

    Unknown Broadcast returns with more old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage radio mystery, and eerie anthology drama slipping out of the dark and into your speakers. This week’s transmission drifts from a lonely house haunted by more than nerves, to a mad dream of kingship, to a secret criminal chamber with its own whispered password, and finally to a single letter that ruins lives from Vienna to Paris. Four tales. Four doors. None of them should be opened. 🐈 “The Resident” — An elderly woman seeking safety and solitude finds both slipping away when a strange cat appears, a younger intruder settles in far too comfortably, and the house itself begins to feel less like a refuge than a trap. 👑 “The Man Who Would Be King” — Two charming scoundrels chase empire at the edge of the world, gambling everything on nerve, fraud, and destiny until the dream turns savage and the crown grows much too heavy. 🗝️ “The Cave of Alibaba” — Secret societies, hidden rooms, criminal rituals, and a deadly mechanical trick turn this stylish thriller into a locked den of thieves where one wrong word can bury a man alive. ✉️ “The Letter” — In the shadow of Nazi terror and paranoia, a gentle scientist is destroyed by accusation, betrayal, and a single handwritten lie that keeps killing long after it is sent. If you love classic radio suspense, vintage horror anthologies, creepy mystery drama, and old-time radio thrillers, this broadcast was waiting for you. Some doors open with a password, some with a knock, and some with nothing more than curiosity. The trouble, as ever, is what chooses to answer. 🎧 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!

  7. Ides of March: AI Horror, Demonic Deals, Graveyard Horror, and Undead Revenge Stories

    MAR 28

    Ides of March: AI Horror, Demonic Deals, Graveyard Horror, and Undead Revenge Stories

    AI horror, demonic deals, graveyard horror, undead revenge, and creepy psychological terror collide in this Ides of March installment from the Weekly Spooky horror podcast. If you love scary stories, supernatural horror, occult suspense, vampire-style graveyard chills, and modern nightmares about technology turning against us, this collection is built to hit every nerve. In this episode, a writer discovers that artificial intelligence can become something far more invasive—and far more dangerous—than a helpful tool. A deadly mistake on a dark road spirals into an occult revenge nightmare that refuses to stay buried. A promising night out twists into a demonic first date from hell, where desire, danger, and ritual all collide. And deep in the cemetery, greed leads two men straight into a grave-robbing horror story where the dead are anything but powerless. In this episode (in order): • “I used to think AI was wonderful. Now I know it’s evil.” — by Michael Kelso  A writing shortcut becomes a nightmare when the tech starts watching… predicting… and finally acting. • “Dead Ahead” — by Joe Solmo  A body in the pines. A shoveled secret. And a ritual that turns guilt into something that can walk back out of the dirt. • “The Blind Date” — by Joe Solmo  A goth romance fantasy curdles into a graveyard pact—because some dates aren’t looking for love… they’re looking for a third soul. • “The Grave Robbers” — by Bruce Haney  A quick cemetery score turns into old-world hunger, blood-soaked greed, and a ride that doesn’t come with brakes—or mercy. This Ides of March compilation is packed with creepy AI horror, dark supernatural fiction, demon horror, graveyard terror, undead suspense, and the kind of doom-soaked consequences that make horror so satisfying. If you like your horror stories with cursed choices, sinister turns, and punishments that come crawling back out of the dark, press play and keep the lights low. 🎧 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!
