I take a deep dive into the archives to find the creepiest lost treasures of the public domain. While the stories take center stage, I like to share some of the incredible information I come across while seeking out new topics, so I start each episode with some history, examples from true crime, science and other insights to get those little gray cells working. Then I give you my best dramatic read of horror, mystery, science fiction, paranormal, and just plain freaky fiction eeked from the greats of horror and fantasy and their lesser known contemporaries. These authors created mind-breaking, chill-inducing, legacies of literary genius. It is my mission to resurrect their masterpieces, and bring them back into our nights.
So, gather round, snuggle up tight, maybe turn on a light, and prepare for a fright!

Episode 28: One, Two, Dab Tsog's Coming For You, The Mystery of Hmong Immigrant Nightmare Death Syndrome
Begining in 1977 a series of inexplicable Nightmare induced deaths took the lives of over 100 Hmong live in America. The mystery is still a source of conjecture and wonder in the medical community. I found this story positively intriguing, so I present to you my findings on this terrifying topic. Then, as usual I wind us down with a fictional story...this week we take a magical mystery tour with a tale taken from the pages of Weird Tales; a creepy detective story, sure to leave you shivering.
