    The Government Asked Me to Interview People for a Fake Job…

    I thought I was being asked to conduct a few routine job interviews. Then I received one strange instruction: Check for yellow nails. I wasn’t told why. I wasn’t supposed to ask questions. I was simply supposed to follow the instructions and keep track of anyone who matched what they were looking for. At first, it seemed bizarre more than anything else. Then I found someone with yellow nails. And I began to realize that I had stumbled into something I was never supposed to understand. Check for Yellow Nails, written by D.D. Wikman, is a slow-burning horror story about a strange assignment, an unsettling secret, and the danger of asking questions when someone clearly doesn't want you to know the answers. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and enjoy tonight’s tale from Dark Night Tales. And maybe take a closer look at the next hand you shake. * Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/DarkNightTales * Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wFJ7ms31kgIxGYKZMdDgn?si=98ea3c6efdbb43df * Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dark-night-tales-with-brian-king/id1896185308 * Amazon Music Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/66500068-601a-468d-8198-f094064833d6/dark-night-tales-with-brian-king * iHeartRadio Podcasts: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1333-dark-night-tales-with-bri-332577943 * Pocket Cast: https://pca.st/9sjy67qg

    I Found a Man Living Alone in the Appalachians. He Had My Face by Morning | Horror Story

    There are places deep in the Appalachians that have been abandoned for a reason. Miles from the nearest town, hidden beyond forgotten trails and swallowed by the mountains, lies Bellweather Hollow. What begins as a solitary trip into the backcountry soon becomes something far more disturbing when the narrator realizes he may not be as alone in those woods as he thought. Something is watching. Something is learning. And the deeper he goes, the harder it becomes to tell exactly what followed him out there. Tonight on Dark Night Tales, journey deep into the Appalachian wilderness for a tale of isolation, forgotten places, and something in the mountains that should never have been disturbed. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and remember: Don’t go into the Appalachians. * Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/DarkNightTales * Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wFJ7ms31kgIxGYKZMdDgn?si=98ea3c6efdbb43df * Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dark-night-tales-with-brian-king/id1896185308 * Amazon Music Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/66500068-601a-468d-8198-f094064833d6/dark-night-tales-with-brian-king * iHeartRadio Podcasts: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1333-dark-night-tales-with-bri-332577943 * Pocket Cast: https://pca.st/9sjy67qg

    He Went In for a Haircut. He Should Have Walked Out.

    Ray Miller has been going to the same neighborhood barbershop for decades. It’s one of the few places left that still feels familiar—a little piece of the past untouched by a world that seems to have moved on without him. But when Ray stops in one Friday evening for a simple haircut, Frank isn’t there. A stranger is standing behind the chair instead. He says his name is Henry Otis. He says Frank had an emergency. And he assures Ray that he’s more than capable of taking care of him. All Ray wanted was a little off the top. Before the night is over, he’ll wish he’d never walked through the door. A Little Off the Top, written by JLGoodwin1990, is a dark horror story about an old-fashioned barbershop, a strange new barber, and a haircut that goes very, very wrong. * Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/DarkNightTales * Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wFJ7ms31kgIxGYKZMdDgn?si=98ea3c6efdbb43df * Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dark-night-tales-with-brian-king/id1896185308 * Amazon Music Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/66500068-601a-468d-8198-f094064833d6/dark-night-tales-with-brian-king * iHeartRadio Podcasts: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1333-dark-night-tales-with-bri-332577943 * Pocket Cast: https://pca.st/9sjy67qg

    Any Vessel Receiving | A Maritime Horror Story

    A distress call in the middle of the North Atlantic is something you answer. You don’t hesitate. You don’t ignore it. Because somewhere beyond the horizon, lives may depend on you responding. When the crew of the cable ship Meridian intercepts a broken Mayday transmission, they change course toward the coordinates buried beneath the static. But as they draw closer, the message becomes clearer. It isn't asking them to come. It's warning them to stay away. And they've already answered. ⚓ ANY VESSEL RECEIVING is an original maritime horror story of isolation, strange transmissions, an empty stretch of ocean, and something in the darkness that knows how to listen. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and enjoy the story.

    There Were Four of Us When We Entered This Town

    Five for the four of us By mizuniyochi Four film students. A forgotten town. And a bell that rings five times. What begins as an innocent documentary trip takes four friends into a beautiful little town that seems almost too welcoming—a place of warm lights, friendly faces, and a strange abandoned building at the edge of town that everyone seems determined to ignore. Naturally, they decide to explore it. Inside, they find a chained steel door, an impossible sixth floor, and the first signs that something is deeply wrong. Because this town doesn't simply trap the people who wander too far. It keeps them. And once it begins taking pieces of you away, even the people who loved you may eventually forget you ever existed. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and enjoy another Dark Night Tale.

    I Found a Door in the Middle of Nowhere. I shouldn't have opened it.

    A solo camping trip. A hidden lake. And a door standing in the middle of the woods where no door should possibly exist. What begins as a quiet escape into the wilderness takes a disturbing turn when a lone hiker discovers an unmarked trail leading away from his campsite. The path is unnaturally straight. The forest grows impossibly silent. And at the end of it waits something completely ordinary—and completely wrong. A simple white door. No walls. No building. Nothing on the map that says it should be there. He knows he should turn around. Instead, he reaches for the handle. What happens next leaves him with missing time, impossible memories, and the terrifying realization that whatever he found in those woods may have followed him home. And now the doors around him are beginning to behave strangely. Tonight's story: “I Went Camping Alone by a Hidden Lake. I Found a Door That Wasn't Supposed to Be There.” Written by Pentyworth223 If you enjoy unsettling wilderness horror, strange disappearances, impossible places, and stories that make you question what might be waiting just beyond the trail, settle in and enjoy. And remember: If you find a door standing alone in the woods… don't open it.

    Sentinel Ridge - the Complete Series 6.5 hours!

    Beneath the Wound: The Sentinel Ridge Incident — The Complete Series Something is wrong in the northern section of Sentinel Ridge National Park. Families disappear without taking their gear. Search dogs follow their scent into the wilderness—then simply stop. Children hear voices in the trees calling them by name. And the few people who return are never quite the same. When former English teacher Owen Cole takes a job as a park ranger in the remote forests of northern Washington, he expects isolation, long patrols, and a chance to leave his old life behind. Instead, he discovers decades of disappearances, buried reports, strange symbols, and a veteran ranger who has spent years quietly documenting what the National Park Service refuses to acknowledge. Something has been operating inside Sentinel Ridge for a very long time. Something that watches. Something that learns. Something that knows your name. And deep beneath the forest lies a cavern where the missing have been taken—and where a cycle decades in the making is approaching its final stage. This is Beneath the Wound: The Sentinel Ridge Incident, presented here as The Complete Series. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and whatever you hear from the trees... Don't follow it north.

    Our Cargo Ship Was Sinking. Then the Crew Started Disappearing.

    The MV Copaxi is three weeks into a transatlantic voyage when a rogue wave slams into the aging cargo ship, rupturing her forward bulkheads and sending freezing North Atlantic water pouring into the vessel. The order comes over the intercom: All hands. Abandon ship. But while the crew races for the lifeboats, Zeke makes a decision that may cost him his life. Three younger crewmen have ignored the evacuation order and gone below deck for supplies. With the ship rapidly sinking beneath him, Zeke heads into the flooding darkness to bring them back. Down there, he hears something. A scream. A splash. And then he sees two enormous sulfur-yellow eyes moving toward him through the black water. Whatever is swimming through the flooded holds isn't human—and the sinking ship may not be the greatest danger facing the crew. Because when Zeke finally makes it back to the main deck, he discovers something impossible: The lifeboats are still there. But the crew is gone. Tonight on Dark Night Tales: ALL HANDS By JLGoodwin1990 A maritime horror story of a dying ship, a vanished crew, and something ancient waiting beneath the North Atlantic. 🎧 Headphones recommended. 🌑 Best experienced in the dark.
