Summary

Real people describe seeing family members in two places at once — and in every case, the double refused to speak, refused to answer, and then simply vanished. These are their stories. #WDRadio MARCH 15, 2026
==========
HOUR ONE: 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)
==========
HOUR TWO: 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)
==========
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. (Murder Castle of Chicago)
