“THE PENTAGON PLANS FOR A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE” and 5 More Creepy True Stories! #WeirdDarkness IN THIS EPISODE: The idea of a zombie apocalypse has been a fascinating topic of horror films, television, and print ever since George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” in 1968. But it’s complete fiction, of course. Right? If so, why does the Pentagon have a plan for it, just in case? (CONOP 8888: The Pentagon’s Plan For a Zombie Apocalypse) *** He appears as a man or skeleton or described as a shadow, often atop a cart for collecting the dead. Other versions have it that he is the first dead person of the year, charged with collecting the others' souls before he can go to the afterlife. He is said to drive a large, black coach pulled by four black horses; accompanied by two ghostly figures on foot. He is known as Ankou. (Ankou: Deliverer Of Souls To The Underworld) *** They were described as flat-nosed with wide nostrils; thick eyebrows and sunken eyes.  Their mouths were of ‘prodigious width’ with thick lips and prominent jaws.  The Australian Aborigines regarded them as another people entirely – they called them the Yowies. (The Australian Yowie) *** Shadow people seem to be a growing phenomenon. But what are they, what do they want? And most importantly – how do you get away from one? (What You Should Know About Shadow People) *** A little girl’s imaginary friend appears to her mother as shadows in the basement. (My Imaginary Friend) *** The story of the Detroit “Occult Murders” is one of the strangest in American crime.

“THE DEATH AND HAUNTING OF JAYNE MANSFIELD” and 3 More Creepy True Stories! #WeirdDarkness On June 29, 1967, the woman who was one of America’s top pinup girls died a horrible and violent death along a lonely roadway near Biloxi, Miss.

“HIDDEN HISTORY OF THE SKULL AND CROSSBONES” #WeirdDarkness Whenever we see a pirate ship on television, cinema or in comic books we also see an extremely ancient symbol - the skull and crossbones. This however, was not a symbol of death – at least not in the beginning - but instead it profoundly symbolized life in so many aspects. Many researchers of Templar and Masonic history have pointed out the links between this symbol and the one used by the Knights Templar on their ships. Sow how did this enigmatic image of the skull and crossbones become deeply entrenched in the minds of millions around the world as the symbol of piracy, death and even poison? Author Philip Gardiner gives us the history of the skull and crossbones.   If you like what you hear, please share a link to this post on your social media, tell your friends about the podcast, and please leave a rating and review in Apple Podcasts; I might read your review here in a future episode!   SUPPORT THE PODCAST... *Advertise your product/service on Weird Darkness; visit http://www.bgadgroup.com or call 770-874-3200.* VISIT OUR SPONSORS: http://www.WeirdDarkness.com/sponsors WEIRD DARKNESS STORE: http://www.WeirdDarkness.com/store AUDIOBOOKS NARRATED BY DARREN: http://www.WeirdDarkness.com/audiobooks BECOME A PATRON at http://www.patreon.com/marlarhouse    STORY CREDITS AND/OR SOURCES… “Hidden History Of The Skull and Crossbones” by Philip Gardiner: http://www.ancientpages.com/2018/08/06/hidden-history-of-skull-and-crossbones-the-untold-story-of-the-templar-and-their-connection-to-the-shining-ones/ WEIRD DARKNESS MUSIC PROVIDED BY Midnight Syndicate http://amzn.to/2BYCoXZ and Shadow’s Symphony http://www.facebook.com/shadowssymphony/ - all music used with permission.
