Many of us, at heart, are extremely skeptical when it comes to anything that exceeds the boundaries of our everyday existence. We listen with interest to those who claim to have had some kind of "experience," but at best we just find it entertaining. However, every now and then, we hear of a story that really can't be explained away by logic and reason. Those Things is a podcast that explores real-life experiences individuals have had that can't be so easily explained away, and the stories and the people involved make us question our own beliefs.

    Episode 17: Yours Truly - Jack the Ripper, Part One

    Since this is October, I thought it might be fun to read some creepy short stories. This episode features the short story, "Yours Truly - Jack the Ripper," by Robert Bloch. Bloch was a prolific writer in the mid twentieth century who became famous due to his novel, Psycho. In this story, he offers an interesting twist to the Jack the Ripper murders. I have split the story into three parts. Part two will be coming shortly.

    Episode 16: Those Things that Live in the Cellar

    On June 13, 1797, Nelly Butler and her child died during childbirth. Her husband, George Butler, buried them on their property. On January 2, 1800, Nelly Butler appeared in the cellar of the Blaisdell home in the next town, almost three years after her death. What transpired over the next several years was not only the first documented case of a haunting in America, but one of the most well documented hauntings in history. Several hundred people would see and document in their journals and letters their experiences with the apparition.

    Episode 15: Those Things that Break Trees

    In 1997, Jeff Boiler was a deputy sheriff in the Cascade Mountains in Oregon. It was the perfect job for him because it gave him plenty of time to do his favorite thing - hike and camp in the woods. Whenever possible, Jeff was in the woods. On a particularly nice day, his boss let him leave work early, and Jeff decided to go for a hike. He drove to a remote area and went on a hike. What happened that day forever changed Jeff's life.

    Those Things: Halloween Special the Third

    In this special Halloween edition, I read a story called "The Damned Thing," by Ambrose Bierce.  The story is about a young man named William Harker, who while on a hunting expedition with his friend Hugh Morgan, witnesses the gruesome death of his friend. He is called before a Coroner's Inquisition, and this is his testimony.

    Those Things: Halloween Special The Second

    I have always loved Edgar Allan Poe, so on this special Halloween Episode I present to you "The Cask of Amontillado." If you are not familiar with the story, the main character, Montressor, has been insulted, along with his family, by Fortunato. The insult is such that it demands that Montressor seek revenge. The story follows Montressor as he plans and tries to implement his revenge upon Fortunato.

    Those Things: Halloween Special the First

    This is a short story by Daphne du Maurie called "The Doll." It was published in a small collection in 1937 and then lost for 70 years. I  think the story was way ahead of its time. It is an eerie little story about a man, a woman, and her life sized doll named Julio. If you really pay attention, there are lots of little twists and turns that only come apparent at the very unsatisfying conclusion of the story. The creepy factor in this story is in the details.
