IN THIS EPISODE: As we head into a new year, I thought it would be appropriate to make something old, new again – it’s a story I shared many years ago in the podcast and I really enjoyed narrating it – plus, it’s very appropriate for the day. The story was written in 1880 by Grant Allen; it’s titled “My New Year’s Eve Among The Mummies”.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, weirdos. If you enjoy what you're hearing from me in the Weird Darkness podcast |
| 0:05.4 | throughout the year, may I ask for a Christmas gift from you? It's an easy one, and it's free |
| 0:11.6 | to give. This month, just invite two or three people, you know, to give Weird Darkness a listen. |
| 0:17.0 | That is truly the greatest gift you could ever give to me. Letting your family, |
| 0:22.2 | friends, coworkers, neighbors and others know about the podcast is incredibly valuable |
| 0:27.9 | to me, my bride, Robin, and our cat, Miss Moka Monster. That's it. Tell someone about |
| 0:34.5 | the show. Drop a link to weird darkness in your social media, maybe send a text to a few folks |
| 0:40.8 | to wish them a very scary Christmas with a link to the show in that text. |
| 0:45.7 | It doesn't matter how you do it, but it does make a huge impact when you do. |

| 1:10.3 | Scream is Saturday night, January 25th, and I'll be sharing |

| 1:18.9 | of several objects that have touched the supernatural or paranormal. |
| 1:22.7 | This isn't just about haunted items. |
| 1:24.7 | There are also historic artifacts like a trumpet, a set of shackles |
| 1:28.6 | and chains, a box of letters, an ordinary camera, and more. I'll get through as many of them |
| 1:33.7 | as I can during the live screen. If you love ghosts, you'll definitely want to join us, and invite |
| 1:39.1 | others to listen in as well. Our next live screen is Saturday night, January 25th, at 5 p.m. Pacific, 6 p.m. Mountain, 7 p.m. Central, |
