IN THIS EPISODE: What do extraterrestrials have to do with vampires? Would you believe… an alien/vampire hybrid? It’s just one of several conspiracy theories regarding vampire bloodlines – and the family trees go back for centuries! (Vampire Bloodlines) *** Today, the fully restored hotel creates an ambiance that has transcended time while providing all the amenities that the modern-day traveler requires. Surrounded by 15 acres of formal gardens and nature trails, the hotel offers 72 guest rooms, many with their balcony, and 12 luxury suites throughout the building. The New Moon Spa features a full menu of treatments, a salon, and a wellness program. And… a few ghosts. (Hauntings At The Crescent Hotel) *** Exorcists are trained to deal with some of the darkest, most evil entities to ever exist – they are casting out demons, after all. But even in those situations, there are cases that rise to the top as the most terrifying and disturbing… with one even worse than the ‘Exorcist’ film would portray. (The Creepiest Exorcism) *** If you feel a loved one is demonically possessed, and you’ve made sure it’s not a physical or mental condition causing the issue, the logical next step is to find a priest to perform an exorcism. But not just any priest is allowed by the Catholic Church to perform such rights… and those who are allowed are dwindling in number, with fewer and fewer clergy stepping forward to take on such a role. So what is the Vatican to do? Easy… start offering classes! (The Vatican Is Looking For Exorcists)

| 0:00.0 | We all know someone who struggles with depression, whether we know it or not. |
| 0:04.5 | It's something that those who suffer tend to deal with in silence, in the shadows. |
| 0:09.2 | But the organizations we are supporting with our annual overcoming the darkness fundraiser this month |
| 0:14.3 | are working to make it easier for those in the darkness to come into the light, |
| 0:18.2 | to find help, and to learn that they're not alone, that there are ways to overcome the darkness |
| 0:23.1 | and live normal lives. I'm evidence of that myself. I too suffer from depression. |
| 0:29.1 | Our goal is to raise at least 5,000 this month, but the more we raise, the more people we can help |
| 0:34.7 | to climb out of their own personal darkness. If you've not donated yet, or if you want to give |
| 0:39.4 | again, or maybe you'd like to grab the link and share the fundraiser on your own social media |
| 0:43.7 | and challenge others to give, visit WeirdDarkness.com-slash-overcoming. That's WeirdDarkness.com-slash-overcoming. |
| 0:51.9 | The fundraiser ends on Halloween, so please give right now while you're thinking about it. |
| 0:56.6 | WeirdDarkness.com-slash-overcoming. As you already know, |
| 1:01.7 | Buildbar is a sponsor of Weird Darkness. Now that they are a sponsor, don't tell them I said this, |
| 1:07.4 | but I would continue to let them be a sponsor without them paying me at all, |
| 1:12.0 | so long as they continue to send me these free samples. Today, I received their new Cookies and Cream |
| 1:19.0 | Chunk. It's like having actual Cookies and Cream chunks in the candy bar. These are protein bars. |
| 1:26.5 | These aren't candy bars, so they're low calorie. This has 18 grams of carbs. That's fewer carbs |
| 1:31.8 | than an average size banana or a honey crisp apple. This is my lunch, and it feels like I just had |
| 1:37.2 | dessert. I'm loving trying all of these new flavors in order to tell you about them because I am |
| 1:41.8 | discovering new things that I love from Build all the time. This Cookies and Cream chunk is just |
| 1:48.5 | insanely good. We've got it set up where you can save 10% off of anything you buy from Build. |
| 1:54.5 | Just go to WeirdDarkness.com-slash-build and use the promo code WeirdDarkness, all one word. |
