When a man’s reflection begins moving on its own, he realizes the mirror may be hiding something far more sinister than his own image. A man becomes unsettled when his reflection in a mirror begins to act independently—not mirroring his movements. At first he doubts it, but as the reflection starts making its own decisions, a chilling tension builds. The reflection’s actions escalate into something malicious, forcing the man to confront the shocking realization that it may be a separate, sinister entity locked inside his mirror, threatening to take over. | #RetroRadio EP0462 Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicate CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)… 00:00:00.000 = Show Open 00:01:30.028 = CBS Radio Mystery Theater, “Last Trip of Charter Boat Sally” (July 15, 1976) 00:45:28.662 = The LineUp, “The Fur Flaunting Floozy” (September 26, 1951) 01:11:10.917 = Macabre, “Man In The Mirror” (November 27, 1961) ***WD 01:40:13.336 = A Man Called X, “Stolen Diamonds” (November 25, 1944) ***WD 02:09:22.339 = Philip Marlowe, Pigeon’s Blood” (June 11, 1949) 02:39:04.386 = Dark Fantasy, “The Thing From The Darkness” (April 03, 1942) ***WD 03:03:32.178 = The Black Mass, “Shidah and Kuziba” (October 16, 1973) ***WD 03:17:27.600 = Beyond Midnight, “The Thing In The Cabin 105” (February 28, 1969) ***WD 03:48:17.040 = Mind Webs, “The Great Slow Kings” and “Earthman Bearing Gifts” (March 18, 1979) 04:16:28.423 = Ellery Queen Minute Mysteries, “Tell Tale Desk” (1939-1948) ***WD 04:17:21.472 = CBS Radio Workshop, “The Case of the White Kitten” (July 13, 1956) ***WD 04:46:27.123 = Chamber of Horrors, “The Waxwork” (ADU) ***WD 05:12:44.258 = Mystery In The Air, “Lodger” (August 14, 1947) 05:42:18.629 = Molle’ Mystery Theater, “Angel Face” (December 20, 1946) 06:11:40.235 = Mr. District Attorney, “Money Machine” (April 11, 1951) ***WD 06:41:34.935 = Cisco Kid, “Mummy In The Desert” (April 21, 1953) ***WD 07:08:31.836 = Murder at Midnight, “Mark of Cain” (September 06, 1946) ***WD 07:34:01.625 = The Black Museum, “The Brick” (January 29, 1952) ***WD 07:56:17.509 = Mysterious Traveler, “Death Has a Cold Breath” (March 29, 1949) ***WD 08:21:44.340 = Mystery House, “Subrosa Justice” (April 07, 1946) ***WD 08:45:41.038 = Night Beat, “Big John McMasters” (March 04, 1951) ***WD 09:15:15.961 = CBC’s Nightfall, “Volcano” (March 05, 1982) ***WD 09:44:30.235 = Show Close (ADU) = Air Date Unknown (LQ) = Low Quality ***WD = Remastered, edited, or cleaned up by Weird Darkness to make the episode more listenable.

Security cameras have captured footage of pale, stilt-legged beings moving through the darkness — creatures so bizarre that even experts can't explain what they are. ========== HOUR ONE: There are roads on Long Island that are much more than a line between two points. Some roads contain legends that travel with you on your journey. (Mount Misery and Sweet Hollow Road) *** In 1981, a cabin in the woods played host to a brutal family murder. We’ll look into the still unsolved murders of the Keddie killings. (The Unsolved Keddie Killings) *** Sightings of strange, pale creatures are being reported in California – and now over two decades from the first sighting, we still don’t know what the Fresno Nightcrawlers truly are. (Freaky Reports of Pale Crawlers) ========== HOUR TWO: Violence, mayhem, even rape. Horrifying atrocities committed by the most evil of human beings – but in one case, in Culver City, California, it wasn’t a man who engaged in these obscenities, but specters of the paranormal. (A Famous Case of Frightening Entities) *** We’ll delve into a handful of out-of-body experience stories directly from those who lived through them – and they might change your opinion about the afterlife. (Surviving Out of Body Experiences) *** We’ll look at true encounters from Redditors who claim to have come across doppelgangers – their exact duplicates, or duplicates of those they love – and it’s almost always a disturbing experience. (Creepy Encounters With Real Doppelgangers) ========== SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: During the grueling Great Northern Expedition, naturalist Georg Wilhem Steller came face-to-face with one of the sea's most mysterious creatures. Or did he? (Steller’s Sea Ape) *** Weirdo family member Jamie Tyroler shares what happened to her and a few friends when they rummaged through a demolished building, only to find something still existing there. (The Ninth Street Entity) *** Weirdo family member Daniel Hagan shares how he once explored some woods on his bike and ended up pedaling for his life to escape paranormal beasts that appeared from nowhere. (Demon Dogs) *** Digging in their backyard, two brothers find what appear to be small human heads carved of stone… but the curious find turns creepy once they bring the heads into the house, resurrecting sightings of a wolf-like creature not seen in almost seventy years. (Hexam Heads and the Wolf of Allendale) *** In 1886 Chicago, one of the nation’s very first serial killers would build a sadistic chamber of horrors to live out his most demented fantasies.

Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicate IN THIS EPISODE: In 1856, two young children – Joseph and George Cox – disappeared in the Allegheny Mountains. The story is tragic… and it also has a bizarre ending. (Lost Children of the Alleghenies) *** Is he an elf? A troll? Not only is it hard to classify Latin America’s El Duende – but it’s even difficult to know if he’s good, evil, or just a mischievous menace! (Duende The Menace) *** Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery just outside of Chicago is a mystery. No one knows exactly how it got its name; no one is sure when the first burial there took place or why it has since been abandoned; there is no explanation for the strange lights that are often seen there, or the ghostly lady, or the phantom horse and rider. (Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery) *** A man is found in a graveyard with a bullet to his skull, barely alive. He died later – but what exactly happened to him is a bit of a mystery. Our guess though is that it had something to do with him being a grave robber. (A Grave Robber’s Fate) *** Forensics has come a long way over the years, making it harder and harder for criminals to get away with crimes – particularly brutal crimes where DNA is usually left behind because of a struggle or physical assault. But despite technological advancements, there are still those cases that remain unsolved – and we’ll look at a few murders of women whose cases still can’t be closed. (Unsolved Female Murders) *** How’s the saying go… “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned?” That’s good advice for the living – but probably even more apropos when dealing with female ghosts!

Throughout history, humans have devised punishments so agonizing that victims would beg for death's mercy — from the Assyrians who draped flayed skin on city walls to Civil War soldiers forced to ride wooden horses until they split apart. Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicate IN THIS EPISODE: If you are concerned about a family member’s excessive drinking, what do you do? Hold an intervention? Call Alcoholics Anonymous for advice? Perhaps confide in a close friend who might know what to do. In the case of teenaged sisters Sandra and Elizabeth Andersen, they were so frustrated with their mother’s drunken ways they decided to kill her. (Murderous Sisters) *** One reason people don’t like going to dentists is pain – even if there is no pain, just the idea of pain is enough to keep people away. But in the early 1900s there was a dentist so confident he could give you a painless tooth-extraction that he even changed his name to “Painless Parker”. But did his name live up to his claim? (A Dentist Named Painless Parker) *** Cliff Taylor reported seeing not just one, but two UFOs – and even more interesting, one of his sightings sounds like an extraterrestrial mothership… which appeared right next to his own house. And his was only a fraction of the hundreds of sightings that took place in 2008 just north of Philadelphia. (The Bucks County UFO Encounter) *** Of all the sites that are unexplained, the Bermuda Triangle is usually the first one that comes to mind. Located in the Caribbean, it is renowned for the ships and radio signals that have disappeared without explanation in recent years. Yet, there is another, perhaps lesser known region in which the inexplicable occurs. This location is often referred to quite simply as Mexico's Zone of Silence. (The Mexican Zone of Death) *** The definition of “punishment” is, “the infliction of some kind of pain or loss upon a person for a misdeed.” In most cases we look to serve punishment in proper proportion to the crime being committed – reserving the most severe punishments for the worst of the worst. But that has not always been the case – and there have been a lot of punishments doled out that we would consider worse than death – and for crimes we might not even consider crimes today.

The CIA spent decades experimenting with psychic spies who could remotely view enemy secrets, and creating mind control programs that may have created assassins. The chilling possibility is that these programs never really ended. Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicate IN THIS EPISODE: It was kept secret for years that the U.S. government spent millions of dollars and decades of research and experiments looking into the paranormal, trying to weaponize psychic powers like remote viewing and mind control. We were told they didn’t find much success – but could that be part of an ongoing secret? What if they did succeed, but don’t want us to know due to “national security” reasons? And what if they aren’t just spying on our enemies, but also on us, the country’s citizens? And if they can do that… can they also control our minds to make us think and do whatever they wish?
