HALLOWEEN: 2,000 Years of Heinous History | #WDRadio

Lost in the Newfoundland fog on the way to see their daughter and baby grandson, a couple from Brampton, Ontario, picks up a hitchhiker who sends them to the Eternity Cove Hotel and Lounge, where the man behind the desk already knows their names.

Dex and Trey talk a friend into a few days of camping at a spot Dex's cousin swears by, four miles uphill from the car, and the girl he's been crushing on for almost a year is coming too. On the second day they find a paw print wider than Trey's spread hand, and that night a howl comes out of the dark so loud they have to cover their ears.

Fifteen stories, starting with the therapist who told a Boston jury about Sandra Birchmore's dead mother at the foot of the bed, holding Sandra's unborn baby, and running through a silent black triangle dropping into a canyon, a "black magic" 911 call in Charlotte, a collapsing tomb lid in Brazil, and Skinwalker Ranch hair sent off for DNA testing.

Mary Collins was a 20-year-old Charlotte woman with a genetic disorder her family says left her with roughly the mental capacity of a 15-year-old, and on March 28th, 2020, as North Carolina went into lockdown, she went to an apartment in NoDa to hang out with people she thought were her friends. Police found her body hidden inside a mattress in that apartment a week later, and on October 12th, 2026, a Mecklenburg County jury convicted Lavi Pham and James Salerno of first-degree murder and sent both men to prison for life without parole.

Ohio, Alabama and Idaho searched five men for veins in seven years, starting in 2017, and then sent them back to their cells alive. Alabama came back for two of them, Alan Miller and Kenneth Smith, with a mask and a nitrogen line, and the morning after Smith died, its attorney general called the first nitrogen execution in history "textbook". In between, John Grant convulsed and vomited on Oklahoma's gurney, and Joe Nathan James spent three hours behind Alabama's curtain.
