If you love scary stories, monster transformations, campus horror, and creepy love-gone-wrong fiction, this one delivers a wild ride with a nasty bite.

Listen now for a gruesome horror story about toxic desire, chemical infection, and the nightmare that happens when wanting someone too badly finally comes true. Perfect for fans of horror podcasts, creature-feature chaos, and weird, bloody tales with a wicked sense of humor.

What really happened when a monstrous black dog with burning eyes was said to crash through two churches during a violent storm in East Anglia in 1577? In this episode of Terrifying & True, we dig into the chilling legend of Black Shuck, the infamous hell hound of Suffolk and Norfolk, and the real storm disaster that may have given one of England’s most terrifying folklore creatures its lasting power.

From the shattered calm of church services in Bungay and Blythburgh, to stories of death omens, devil dogs, scorched church doors, and a beast said to move with the storm itself, this is a tale where English folklore, paranormal legend, and real historical fear collide. We explore the terrifying reports tied to the August 4, 1577 thunderstorm, the long tradition of phantom black dogs in Britain, and the grounded explanations behind one of the most enduring supernatural legends in the British Isles.

If you love true folklore, haunted history, mysterious creatures, dark legends, and stories where the line between history and nightmare is razor thin, this is an episode you do not want to miss. Because Black Shuck is more than just a monster story. It is a legend about weather, death, panic, faith, and the shape fear takes when it comes out of the storm.

We’re telling that story tonight.

Unknown Broadcast returns to the Weekly Spooky feed with more old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage mystery radio, ghostly dread, strange disappearances, greed, curses, and dark family secrets. This week’s transmission moves from plague-haunted bloodlines to a vanished bride, from murderous greed to a glittering dream of impossible wealth.

🌹 A Ring of Roses — A seemingly innocent visit to meet a fiancée’s old friend turns into a sinister journey through inherited secrets, Black Plague lore, and a cursed ring that feels tied to the living and the dead alike. It’s lush, gothic, and steeped in the creeping dread of classic radio horror.
💍 The Bride Vanishes — A bride disappears into mystery, leaving behind unease, strange behavior, and the sense that something is deeply wrong beneath the surface. This one carries that delicious vintage radio suspense mood of mounting confusion, ominous atmosphere, and danger waiting just offstage. 
💵 Avarice — The Whistler steps in with a tale of greed, money, and murderous desperation, where John Abbott’s hunger for wealth twists everything around him. It is sharp, cruel, and exactly the kind of crime-horror radio story where one bad desire poisons an entire house.
💎 The Diamond as Big as the Ritz — The night closes with Escape, promising a fabulous world of wonder, danger, and impossible riches. There’s something especially haunting about ending on a story built around desire so extravagant it starts to feel unreal, like a dream that may not want to let you wake up.

If you love classic OTR horror, old-time radio suspense, vintage mystery anthologies, paranormal audio drama, and eerie stories pulled from the strangest corners of broadcasting history, this episode is packed with exactly that kind of shadowy delight.

Some families inherit love. Some inherit dread. And some spend their whole lives reaching for something bright enough to blind them.

Small-town horror, vampire horror, cursed love, alternate dimensions, and terrifying supernatural encounters collide in this eerie Weekly Spooky compilation of four dark and dangerous tales. If you love creepy small-town secrets, portal horror, monster stories, evil transformations, and strange nights that spiral into bloodshed, this one is packed with nightmare fuel.

Tonight’s lineup moves from a town that has been erased from the map, to a sleepover that opens a doorway into a dead vampire world, to a drunken ritual that summons something no one was meant to love, and finally to a seductive nightmare of blood, betrayal, and the deadly price of the nightlife. These stories all hit that sweet spot where youthful recklessness, supernatural evil, and terrible choices meet in the dark.

• I’m from a Small Town That No Longer Exists. No One Is Allowed to Know Why — by Michael KelsoA childhood memory of hide-and-seek in the cornfields turns into a chilling account of strangers, human shells, and a town that seems to have been swallowed up and erased. It’s eerie, paranoid, and loaded with that “something is deeply wrong here” kind of dread.
• Doorway to Horror — by Rob FieldsA girls’ movie night goes horribly wrong when a mysterious disc drags them into an alternate vampire-ruled Strickfield where Christmas decorations glow over a dead world. This one is fast, fun, creepy, and full of portal horror, undead danger, and end-of-the-world atmosphere.
• Love Conquers All — by Joe SolmoThree desperate guys try to conjure up the perfect supernatural lover and instead create a hay-stuffed monstrosity with a seductive voice and murderous intentions. It’s nasty, funny, mean, and exactly the kind of rural backwoods horror-comedy that goes from stupid idea to absolute disaster in record time.
• Newborn — by Rob FieldsA night of partying and seduction becomes a brutal vampire origin story as Eliza discovers the truth about what she has become and how far she is willing to go for power. This one leans dark, sexy, vicious, and fully monstrous in all the best ways.

From vanished towns and cursed fields to vampire clubs and broken doorways between worlds, this collection is all about crossing a line you can’t uncross. Lock the doors, keep your eyes off the dark corners, and don’t trust anything that offers you freedom too easily.

Which one got under your skin the most?
