Weird Darkness: Stories of the Paranormal, Supernatural, Legends, Lore, Mysterious, Macabre, Unsolved

IN THIS EPISODE: Legend has it a ghost told the building’s architect to take the job. We’ll look at the creepy history behind the construction of the Bradbury Building in downtown Los Angeles. (The Occult And The Bradbury Building) *** You expect strange on-the-job tales from those who work in or near graveyards, or those who are close to the dead such as mortuaries, and even hospitals. But the brave men and women in law enforcement have a few stories of their own to tell. (Police and the Paranormal) *** Did 16-year-old Grace Marks of “Alias Grace” fame, actually help murder her employer and his lover — or was she unfairly locked away? (The True Story Behind ‘Alias Grace’) *** A woman finds a ghostly companion in her bed – every night. (Possibly Friendly Entity) *** A man’s love for a woman lasts even past her death, to the point of his living with her corpse. (Strange Love) *** AND NUMEROUS OTHER TRUE PARANORMAL STORIES!
