If you have ever visited someone in a nursing facility or rehab center, you know you don’t have to look far to see staff members happily helping the patients. The nurses, therapists and staff of these medical facilities are truly heroes in my book. In our story, “I Work at a Nursing Home for Monsters,” by Blair Daniels, a nurse discovers that the patients in the rest home are far from normal. Even worse, some are downright deadly. This story is a work of fiction, but there are many true accounts of staff experiencing the paranormal in these care facilities. We have a few.

How about a haunted road trip? Just put the EVP recorder next to the cooler in the back seat and let’s go! In our story, “Death Went that Way,” by Allison Harding, a young man on his way to California experiences a very deadly backseat driver. What paranormal experiences have people had while driving? Should Route 66 really be called Route 666? Have you had an unexplainable experience while driving? We'll look at a few folks that have.

Our story for this episode, “The Scarecrow at the End of the Lane,” by Mike Nesbitt provides one answer to the question, “Scarecrows…cute and helpful, or evil and deadly. A woman walks home at night past a field with a scarecrow. Let’s just say that Emerald City is not where this scarecrow takes her. How old is the scarecrow?

What says haunted more than an old crypt in a foggy cemetery? I mean, crypts put the goth in gothic! In our story, “The Affair of the Dancing Coffins,” by George Brockhart something very strange in going on inside a family crypt. I do have to make a disclaimer, however. The coffins aren’t actually dancing, but their behavior is odd, nonetheless.

Uncounted horror stories and films have taken place inside crypts. What is the allure? Why are we drawn to these eerie structures? Let’s take a look at crypts. The crypt’s door is open, will you step inside?

Of course, are you kidding?

Mannequins…sales enhancement, or inducers of terror? When you see a mannequin in a store window, do you stop to examine its garment offering, or watch its eyes to see if they follow you? For me, they are just giant dolls, and fall into the “yikes” category.

In our story, “The Mannequin,” by R. J. Lawrence, a young man discovers his brother’s disturbing experiments on mannequins and meets a grisly fate. Nowadays, no one is surprised to see a mannequin in a shop window or inside a shop. They are such everyday items for us that it is hard to imagine how clothes were displayed before they existed. But do we know when mannequins were actually invented? We'll take a look at the history of mannequins.

Have you ever heard a voice come through a radio that seemed misplaced? You might have heard a voice from beyond the veil. In our story, “The Message,” by Clinton Dangerfield, a death-row inmate and a chaplain hear a voice through the radio offering comfort. But is that truly what the spirit is offering? Trying to contact spirits through radio waves is not a new technique for communicating with the dead. Even Thomas Edison designed one in the 1920’s. There have been many designs since then but let’s look at its most modern counterpart, The Ghost Box.

Working as a medical professional in a psychiatric hospital must be one of the hardest jobs in the world. And as one doctor finds out in our story, “Doctor’s Notes,” by Kitty Olsen, meeting face to face with the supernatural doesn’t make it any easier.

What strange occurrences have real doctors and nurses experienced while on duty? We'll look to Quora for some great stories:

On this episode Holly Landis’s story, “Gnome Invasion,” shows us the darker side of those cute little ceramic statues that so many people collect to decorate their gardens. To be perfectly honest, they creep me out. I always wonder what dark, evil thoughts are lurking behind their chubby grins and if they are going to attack my ankle with a trowel. We'll take a look at the lore and history of the garden gnome.

In this week’s story, “The Boy That Brought the Asylum Home,” by Mike Nesbitt, a young boy is haunted by a ghost his roommate accidently brought home from a clandestine visit to an abandoned asylum. Let’s just say, in this case, three’s a nasty crowd. Haunted asylums are popular with ghost hunters hoping to encounter and record spirit activity. We'll look at a few real experiences in a few of the most haunted asylums, including my own.

Hello, and welcome to episode #225 of After Words Paranormal. I’m your host, Shelby. For our story this week you must forget the Disney version of the Fairy world. No cute little tinkly fairies or wistful sing mermaids. In “Walter the Ghost,” by Kitty Olsen, a man must face down one of The Fair Folk with some help from his friend, Walter. We'll take a look at the old Fae world and its ancient inhabitants.

On this week’s episode we have a scientist experimenting with equipment designed to separate the spirit of a person from his body, then put it back in. It goes without saying that the experiment does not turn out well. Scientists and pseudoscientists have tried for decades to find a way to examine the soul or spirit once it has separated from a person's body. We'll examine a few actual experiments.

New techniques and better equipment are developed for photography all the time. But one thing remains constant; ghosts have been making their way into photos for 200 years. Spirit Photography is as popular as it ever was. Paranormal investigators seek out spirits to photograph, but in our story, “In Every Picture,” by L. A. Cavanaugh, a young woman accidentally stumbles upon something evil in a used camera bought at a yard sale.

Ghost hunters, both amateurs and professionals, bring some kind of camera on investigations. We've got some good tips for taking spooky snaps.

What does the word twister make you think of? A fun game with colorful dots and tangled up bodies, an action film, or a deadly windstorm? My maternal grandmother was raised on Kansas farm, and the blood would drain from her face at the mere mention of the word. As a child she had spent many times down in the storm cellar scared to death. Tornadoes kill 20-100 people a year in the US. What causes this persistent and deadly weather?

We'll look at some information from National Geographic.

Haunted houses have always attracted those who want a little scare and the chance to see a ghost. In our story, “Dark Mummery,” by Thorp McClusky, a daring group of friends into a local haunt to have some spooky fun. What they get is much more than they bargained for. Be careful what you wish for. Perhaps if they had followed some simple “don’ts” while investigating the haunted house, things might have turned out differently. We provide a handy list...

Rather than just a horror story, this week we offer a horror story about a horror writer writing a horror story. In “I was Commissioned to Write a Horror Story. I was Given Strange Rules to Follow,” by Quincey Lee, an author must construct stories according to his benefactors wishes and bizarre rules.

If he doesn’t follow the rules…well, that would be telling.

This begs the question-are there rules to follow when writing a horror story? Yes, and the rules are not at all bizarre. We'll list them for you.

This week we present a story by author Quincey Lee, “The Baby’s Pram.” It’s always delightful to see a sweet baby’s face smiling up from its carrier. However, in this story one glimpse inside the pram sends everyone running away, screaming their heads off. The “evil child” trope is one of the most successful in literature and film. We'll look at an excellent article on the subject by author Bryan W. Alaspa.

The teacher in the story is indeed unusual, and I wondered if there were any tales about ghostly teachers out there.…apparently not. At least I couldn’t find any stories. However, haunted elementary schools are in abundance. We'll look at three.

In the story, a young boy has an unusual friend that meets him each day at twilight. When other boys bully him, the friend becomes something more than a playmate. Something deadly.

This week’s tale is one of true love. A love that has lasted for centuries, literally. The couple are vampires. E. Everett Evans’s story, “The Undead Die,” tells of their meeting, their transformation and their undying love.

In the vein of “Interview with the Vampire,” by Anne Rice, our story raises the same question— “How much humanity do vampires retain after transformation?” If wolves, black vultures and prairie voles mate for life, why can’t the creatures of the night? Afterall, love is love.

Dollhouses…hobby, plaything or creep fest? Do dollhouse figures live their own lives separately and invisibly to those who play with them? Well, we'll look at a real dollhouse with its own ghost story. And, in our story, “Desecrated Dollhouse,” by Edgar Carmine, a dollhouse turns deadly for an obsessed collector.

Our story for this episode is, “The Empty Drawer,” found in Chilling Morgue Stories, edited by Eve S. Evans. Ghost hunters explore an abandoned morgue, or at least they think it is abandoned.

If you visited a non-abandoned morgue, you would probably county coroner. Being a coroner, at least according to the CSI TV shows, looks like a very interesting job. What is it really like? We'll take a look.

Our story for this episode is, “Dead Man’s Fingers,” by Patrick Winters. In the story a Halloween dare turns deadly for some trick or treaters. A great story for the week of my high-holy day, Halloween.

Like our tale, scary stories are full of the bad results of taking on a graveyard dare. We'll take a look at two “real” creepy graveyard dares.

On this episode, we have a story by one of my favorite authors, Paul Ernst. “The Face at Death Corner” tells the tale of a strange and terrifying face that appears at an intersection just before a deadly auto accident. The mystery is solved by one brave soul who nearly dies himself.

Are there real places in the world where mysterious or ghostly faces appear repeatedly? Indeed, yes, and we have a few.

Our story is "The Buzzing in My Wife's Head," by Nathaniel Lewis. A young wife and mother is being driven mad by a persistent buzzing sound that only she can hear. Her husband is concerned and should be. The buzzing is in her head, but from a very different source than her imagination.

On this episode, we’ll dive deep (literally) into the graves in an old cemetery. In “Grave Danger,” by Devin Cabrera, a bullied boy is trapped in a grave and finds something much more sinister than worms and dirt clods.

We’ve explored burial practices and haunted cemeteries, so let's find something new. What about those who take care of a cemetery? I wonder what it would be like to be a sexton? Listen in and find out!

On this episode we will climb the steps to the top of a great tower. The main character thinks he’s going to get a good night’s sleep, but what resides in the tower has other ideas. The mere thought of a tower seems to invoke ghostly images whirling around it. Perhaps there is a ghostly maiden waiting for a rescuer that never came. A good old creepy tower is a great setting for hauntings both fictional and real. There are many haunted towers around the world, and we'll take a look at one of the most famous, The Tower of London.

Ouija boards, a good way to communicate with the dead, or an open portal to evil? In our story, a curious young lady finds out it’s the latter.

Ouija boards are a hot topic of debate in the paranormal investigation community. Some say that only bad things come of using one; that a door is opened to the dark side, and nothing good can come of it. Join us for this ghoulish story and a brief history of Ouija boards.

This is the time of year for planting. Small gardens are cropping up all over my neighborhood. One of my favorite things to plant is pumpkins. I love the beautiful pumpkin blossoms and having a Halloween Jack-o-lantern that was grown in my own yard. In our story, “The World’s Biggest Pumpkin,” by Nathaniel Lewis, a man from the Guinness Book of World Records is out on a farm to measure and weigh a likely winner in the pumpkin category. Unfortunately, he also discovers what has made it so big, and it’s not Miracle Grow. Do pumpkins, unassuming squash, have a history and lore of their own? The answer is, yes, and we'll explore.

Ready for a dark and disturbing castle? Well, we’ve got a good one for you. “The Dark Castle,” by Marion Brandon, definitely delivers. Two travelers caught in a dark and stormy night find shelter inside an old castle. The castle is creepy, but what they really need to fear is their hostess. The story takes place in Romania, and although we have touched on vampire legends in some of the other podcasts, I thought it might be fun to look at some other legends of the area. So, ve vill!!

I have always wondered if after I shuffle off the mortal coil, I would be able to travel through time or continue to do the things I loved. In our story, a young woman has made a long journey to say good-bye to her dying mother. Sadly, it does not turn out to be the journey she was expecting. But, back to my question: could I travel to ancient Egypt or Mesoamerica? Can I go horseback riding whenever I want? These answers and more await you. Join us!!

NOTE: Do not be concerned about the scream as I mention what episode this is. I recorded the wrong number and wasn't able to re-record. So, I just inserted a scream. Sometimes a scream is the best response to any problem...

On this episode, we present “The Marmot,” by Alison V. Harding, a horrifying tale of a creature so deadly I hesitated to even read it. Not really. This story struck my fancy because the monster is actually one of the cutest creatures on the planet, a marmot. It’s definitely a weird tale, and a great choice for April Fool's Day! Before we dive into the story, we'll look at the facts about this truly "vicious" creature.

Our story for this episode is “The Police Station,” by Bruce Memblatt. A young man is being held at a police station being questioned for a crime he doesn’t remember. When he finally does his horrible penalty has already been carried out.

When things go wrong, the police can be the welcome voice of reason. They deal strictly with facts and solid evidence. No hearsay, maybes or guesses. But what happens when the police bump into something they can’t explain rationally? We'll look at some stories from actual policemen who encountered something otherworldly.

My mind loves to play, “what if?” It waits until I’m in a normal, everyday circumstance such as grocery shopping, getting a drink from a vending machine, or riding on Trax, Salt Lake City’s trolley service.

The game sounds something like this:

What if…as you take that box of Cheerios from the shelf, you unwittingly release a ghoul from its slumber, and it ravaged the entire grocery store?

Or…what if, as you reach into the vending machine for that Diet Pepsi, something grabs your hand and pulls you in?

In our two stories by Blair Daniels, “Attention Shoppers: Please Hide Immediately,” and “The Vending Machine,” ‘what if’ becomes reality.

So, what if…there were some real stories about supernatural occurrences at grocery stores and with vending machines? Guess what? There are and we'll explore a few.

This week’s story is, “The Finishing Touches,” by Renier Wyers. It involves a manic artist bent on finishing what he thinks is a master painting. Unfortunately, the painting becomes a portal for evil. We’ve touched on haunted paintings and cursed art objects in previous episodes, and since our artist’s work shocks and disturbs those who see it, we'll look at actual paintings by famous artists that shocked and disturbed the public.

We’re taking a little trip to Germany in this week’s episode, so pack up your lederhosen and dirndls and crosses to ward off evil. Yes, it’s that kind of story. “The Nightmare Road,” by Florence Crow features a young man on a road chock full of ghoulies and ghastly sights. I looked into German folklore and found several nasty creatures, including several who lure and drown people and a bevy of different kinds of witches. But one jumped out at me (pun intended) as the most pertinent to our story. Enjoy

The story for this episode is, “The Seeking Thing,” by Janet Hirsch. A man travels a lonely road at night and picks up an unknown hitchhiker. This hitchhiker is seeking more than just a lift.

Although our story is technically not an urban legend, cars, roads and driving have generated several well-known urban legends. We'll look at a few.

Regardless of which holiday you celebrate this time of year, it is no doubt ripe with traditions. One of those traditions is the telling of ghost stories. So, to honor this on this episode we present, “The Judge’s House,” by Bram Stoker, the author of, “Dracula.” There’s nothing with fangs in this story, just the tale of a student who rents an abandoned house for some quiet study time but gets something far more evil.

This story was written during a time when ghost stories at Christmas were in high demand. The place? Victorian England (1800’s and early 1900’s). We'll delve into the reasons for this ghoulish holiday obsession.

Yes, it’s that wonderful time of the year full of holiday cheer. To celebrate, we offer two stories on this week’s episode. It’s because you’ve been so good (and ghoulish) all year.

Both stories come from the shelf labeled, “Inanimate Things Come to Life.” First, we have, “Smoke Fantasy,” by Thomas R. Jordan, in which a writer’s-block-stricken author uses smoke to imagine a character. Unfortunately, the character doesn’t stay on the page. Our second story is, “The Old Black Hat,” by Gary Raisor. Two children find a stray black hat, and things become a little too “lively.”

An old black hat is often associated with magic and snowmen. What is the history behind the traditional snowman? Turns out, Frosty is a lot older than you’d think.

Our story for this episode is, “The Wages of Sin,” by Graeme Reynolds. A talented metal worker has created mysterious pieces of a machine for a client. When they are put together, they create something terrifying. The client created the machine for health benefits. Through the centuries there have been some truly weird and even disturbing heath products and treatments. We'll look at a few, and if you are eating something I suggest you push it aside before listening.

It’s the time of year when we humans must rely more on artificial light to make our way through the darkness. Whether in our homes or on the streets, we are helpless without it. In our story, “Street Lights,” by Barry Thisbone, a mother warns her children not to look behind them at night if a streetlight goes out. Unfortunately, her warning turns out to be more than just an urban legend.

Urban legends are told in every culture around the world. Are they weird entertainment or cautionary tales? Is there any truth to them? Honestly, I don’t care. I love urban legends and weird cultural tales. We'll look at some great stories from around the globe.

On this episode we present the story, “Teaching You the Fear,” by Paul Lubaczewski. The story is about a man who is not insane himself but causes insanity wherever he goes.

The history of treatment for mental illnesses in this country is like a horror story all its own. We'll also look at that history.

Note: This episode contains images of mental illness and the abuse of mental illness patients.

Welcome to our third season of creepy, spooky stories! To celebrate and to extend the Halloween season, we have a great story about the fun and frolics of Halloween night…at least from the ghoulie’s point of view. “Always say, ‘Treat,’” by Christopher Nadeau reminds us that Halloween belongs to the night and the creatures that live in it. They have their own traditions and the follow them to the letter. On a lighter note, we'll look at Holidays from around the world that are similar in some way to Halloween.

Zombies, zombies, zombies. Yes! That is what this episode is all about. Our story, “The Dead Woman,” by David H. Keller is about a man who thinks his wife is one of the living dead, but he is the only one that does. Zombies are everywhere, in literature, on the big screen, in games and in our hearts. Why are we so obsessed with Zombies? Psychiatrists and bloggers alike have weighed in on the matter and have come up with some conclusions. We'll take a look at a few.

Our story for this week, “The Strange Woman in My Wedding Photos,” by Blair Daniels, takes us once again into the realm of paranormal photography. A young bride discovers an uninvited guest in her wedding photos, one no one remembers seeing. Capturing spirits on film is something every ghost hunter hopes for. As cameras have become more technologically sophisticated, it’s easier to catch a spectre or two on film. Unfortunately, it’s also become easier to fake a spirit photo. The science of capturing imagery on film and interest in the unseen world have been uneasy bed partners for many years. We'll look at an article on that partnership and two scientists who tried to see beyond the veil using photographic technology.

On this episode, “Thou Shalt Not Steal,” a story by Blair Daniels, highlights the consequences of taking something that does not belong to you. The consequences in this story, however, are far worse than any jail sentence.

Down through the centuries many people have been punished by an item they stole. Whether in the name or science or greed, their crime resulted in karmic consequences from simple bad luck to death. We'll take a look at a few instances of unfortunate or cursed thieves.

This week’s story is, “I Accidentally Summoned Stan Instead of Satan,” by Blair Daniels.
This episode could also be titled, “Be careful of what you wish for, and really watch your spelling.” In our story, some young girls learn the hard way that summoning Satan may not be the best way to spend a girl’s weekend.

Humans have wanted to speak to specters from the beyond for centuries. Perhaps to say, “I love you,” a last “Good-bye,” or find out where Aunt Edna hid her diamonds, people have tried many methods to contact the dead. To have some fun, we'll dive into some excerpts from The Spiritualist, a magazine from the 1800's devoted to contacting the dead.

To celebrate the coming of the creepy season, we have two stories for you.

When the Dead Return, by August Derleth and Sleepers, by Percy B. Prior. Both stories are about the dead returning to the living and causing everything from minor annoyances to outright terror. While I was researching the topic, “Returning from the Dead,” I came across an interesting article about the Lazarus syndrome and thought it would complement this episodes’ stories very well. So, here’s where to get the scoop on life after the afterlife.

This week’s episode has serious tunnel vision. Our story, “The Long Tunnel,” by Michael Squid, tells the tale of the exploration of an old tunnel, the length of which is tragically miscalculated. If you are like me, tunnels are tantalizing. Is the exit a door to another world? Are there ghosts hiding in its curves and dark parts? Evidently, the answer is, yes. There are plenty of haunted tunnels in the US. We'll explore some of them.

Did you know that The United States is the leading consumer of corn worldwide? In 2023/2024, the U.S. consumed about 12 billion bushels of corn. This is good news for farmers, but not such great news for a man who buys some corn from a roadside vender. “Corn,” by K. A. Opperman, is a story about fertilizer…a very peculiar kind of fertilizer. We'll also look at fertilizers both common and unusual.

Human beings have the capacity to do many incredible things, but physically are not well built. We fall apart with age, can’t reproduce the broken parts, and are highly susceptible to disease. Even tortoises and parrots live longer than us. However, that hasn’t stopped scientists from trying to find ways to fix those problems. Unfortunately, as in our story, “Heading Home,” by Ramsey Campbell, these new discoveries can lead to disastrous results. What have today's scientists discovered about repairing the human body?

What does our future hold? That question has been asked by humans for a millennium. Ancient cultures, and modern ones, too, have often used dreams, animal sightings and more as symbols that foretell the future. In our story, “Backward Man,” by Caleb Taylor, a young man has seen a strange, horrific individual his whole life. And, whenever he sees it, someone dies.
We'll also look into the lore of omens and common harbingers of death.

On this episode we present two short stories by horror writer, Blair Daniels. In our first story, “The Painting My Husband Keeps,” a young wife does not like a painting her husband insists on displaying in their home. As we discover, her dislike of the painting is fueled by more than artistic preference. Our second story, “Thou Shalt Not Steal,” is about a young mother who regrets her decision to steal a fire engine for her son. Although she didn’t pay for the toy, she almost pays with her son’s life.

Our story for this episode, “Something Nasty,” by William F. Nolan is about a mean Uncle and his niece’s revenge.That revenge is very much like Voodoo. I have to be honest. Voodoo scares me a little. I guess I’ve seen too many movies in which folks get “Zombie-ized” or have spiders crawl out of their face. So as background to the story, and perhaps to way lay my fears, we"ll also find out more about this fascinating religion.

On this episode, we feature another story by August Derleth, “The Glory Hand.”

A Hand of Glory (or Glory Hand) is the dried and pickled hand of a hanged man, often specified as being the left (Latin: sinister) hand, or, if the person was hanged for murder, the hand that "did the deed."
And, just in case you don't have one of those hanging around the house, We'll take a look at our own hands through some techniques of palmistry.

We couldn’t hold our coffee mug, pinch someone, deal cards or hitchhike. In our story, “Carpenter’s Thumb,” by Christopher Hawkins a man’s thumb takes on a life of its own, and its intentions are no less than murderous. Thumbs are part of what makes us human and a member of the primate family. But what about some body parts we have, but don’t really need anymore? We've got a list of leftover organs we still carry from our ancestors.

This week episode #112 is devoted to conversations. Conversations with the dead. In our story, “The Disc Recorder,” by August Derleth, the main character uses a disc recorder to assist him in his writing. What he captures is far more ghostly than literary. We'll talk about Thomas Edison's "ghost phone," and there is a real EVP for you to listen to. Join us!

This week’s episode promises to be spell binding. Our story, “Grandma Grunt,” by Donald Burleson, is about a witch, or someone who seems to be a witch. The main character doesn’t believe she is, which proves to be a big mistake. Did you know that there are different kinds of witches? I did not. We'll look at the different types of witches, and learn which witch is which.

Greetings, and welcome to episode #44.  On this episode we present, "It Walks by Night," by Henry Kuttner.  They had me at the title on this one, and the story did not disappoint.  We get to hand out in an old graveyard haunted by a creature that feeds on the dead...what could be better than that? We talk about a few real haunted graveyards and I've got some EVP's to listen to that I collected in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.  Good, ghoulish fun for all!

Join me for Episode 36 as I read, Dead Legs, by Edmond Hamilton. This is an eerie story of haunted human limbs! Could it be true? Can transplants haunt the recipient? Our main character helps himself to a new set of legs, but the previous owner isn't finished with them yet and plans to finish him! We'll dive into the theory that transplant recipients might receive more than just a donor's organ; some seem to receive a piece of the donor's life as well. Then, we'll explore a shrine in New Orleans where grateful folk leave their artificial limbs and eyes as "thank you's. " This episode is a tad longer, so grab something chilled, sit back, and be prepared to get "chilled" yourself.

On this episode, I read Spring Fingered Jack by Susan Caspar. We jaunt back in time to Victorian London and look at its most famous serial killer: Jack the Ripper. We also delve into why the horrible conditions in Whitechapel (London's East End) created the perfect hunting ground for such a violent criminal.

Episode 5
Dead and Didn't Know It

On this episode, we'll look at stories with a twist ending, in which the main character finds out at the end of the story that they've been dealing with something otherworldly all along.
Our main story is, "The Waxwork," by A. M. Burrage, and there are two short-short stories I loved as a child. We'll dive into a brief history of ghost stories, how wax museums came to be and how the wax figures are made. So, turn out the lights, light a candle and snuggle in.

Detours included to the Aztec Death Whistle and Calaveras. Our story is about an old sea captain who is haunted by a screaming skull that "lives" in a hatbox in a cupboard above his bed. He rambles to an unseen friend (the audience, perhaps) and we learn the horrible origin of his screaming skull.

If these topics are a trigger for you, this may not be the best episode for you to listen to. Included will be some detours to look at "Sitting Shomer," and Funeral Potatoes. At the end, there's a writing prompt to play with if you'd like to.

Enjoy being scared? Join your host, Shelby Rickart as she explores why some people love to be frightened and others don't. Then, settle in for a reading of "The Monkey's Paw," by W. W. Jacobs. Written in 1902, this story is a ghostly classic.

I have fond memories of trick-or-treating, but not like the trick-or-treaters in this episode's story, "A Perfect Halloween," by Rose Rinaldi.  We'll also take a jaunt through the history of trick-or-treating, and other Halloween night delights.
