ABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar. Seven days per week, Weird Darkness focuses on all thing strange and macabre such as haunted locations, unsolved mysteries, true ghost stories, supernatural manifestations, urban legends, unsolved or cold case murders, conspiracy theories, and more. On Thursdays, this scary stories podcast features horror fiction along with the occasional creepypasta. Weird Darkness has been named one of the “Best 20 Storytellers in Podcasting” by Podcast Business Journal. Listeners have described the show as a cross between “Coast to Coast” with Art Bell, “The Twilight Zone” with Rod Serling, “Unsolved Mysteries” with Robert Stack, and “In Search Of” with Leonard Nimoy.

Parental discretion is strongly advised.
IN THIS EPISODE: From Soviet cosmonauts encountering mysterious beings in space to the endless loop of government UFO promises that never materialize, the truth about extraterrestrial contact may be hidden behind a conspiracy of silence that spans decades. *** Sixteen witnesses watched in horror as Peter Williamson vanished in a flash of lightning during a 1974 barbecue, only to reappear three days later wearing someone else's clothes and carrying items from a tailor shop that had burned down decades earlier. *** But first… In the most remote corners of Earth, witnesses from trained scientists to indigenous tribes report encountering creatures with long necks, leathery wings, and razor-sharp claws — living animals that perfectly match dinosaurs supposedly extinct for 66 million years. Could there be any truth behind these sightings? We begin there.
