If you've ever wanted to learn more about stories I share in the podcast, you'll want to sign up for the free Weird Darkness newsletter.

Several times per week, you'll get an email that not only includes the audio player with a recent episode, but a deep dive article of that same subject, going more in depth than what you heard in the podcast.

I also post numerous articles that never make it into the podcast, and I share

you'll get videos of murder noir as I post them, the most popular video of the week from my YouTube

and apparently at least one guy willing to suffer spinal damage in pursuit of a blurry

forest goblin.

But don't worry, this man's no slouch.

After falling down the stairs in 2016 and collecting a $350,000 settlement, he did what any
