First he'll talk with long absent Tom Cole about why he's been away from the show for so long. Then, the two will discuss an major update to an episode that aired last year about Unsolved Mysteries...we don't want to give anything away here, but it seems Eric may have gotten himself directly involved in an unsolved mystery! Then it's time for the main event!!! Eric welcomes back former/frequent guests Emily Ferguson, Brian Toneyand the very quiet Fatima Elmi as they watch and discuss The Deception of a Generation, an 80's anti cartoons, toys, and cereal propaganda video! Yes, it seems in the 1980's Satan decided to jump in the toy box and turn the children of the USA into gay occult killing machines!!! If you grew up in the 80's you're going to want to hear this. Did you know you were brainwashed and conditioned to think there was nothing wrong with talking to demons and necromancy? Did you know that He-Man is a match for Jesus both physically and magically? Did you know the Care Bears were attempting to start their own religion? E.T. was a homosexual who wanted you to accept him as Jesus? Did you know the Smurfsare actually transexual corpse witches?!?! I promise, we are not making this up. All these outlandish claims and many, many more are actually presented in Deception of a Generation. It is both hilarious and terrifying and a perfect choice for the supersize 100th episode of Spooky A S!!! Music by Occultic Overtones (aka Emily)

But there is a problem...Eric tried to research Ephraim Grey online and found very little evidence that he ever lived at all, let alone lived forever. But Judith, who was used to work for a Boston ghost tour company as notes from a training she was given with very specific names and dates relating to the tale. Could it be that someone has done deep research on Mr. Grey and just never thought to publish it anywhere or is it possible that a tour company who's job it is to tell spooky stories might have added a few details for dramatic effect? You decide. Ephraim Grey was (allegedly) a 19th century mad scientist/doctor who was trying to find the secret to eternal life. Apparently it didn't work because his "manservant" reported his death to police but said his master wanted no inquest or autopsy performed! Years later, when teenagers searched Ephraim's (alleged) tomb, Ephraim was there and looked very much alive! When they came back for a second look...he was gone! Some say he still wanders the town by night. Others say the whole story is B.S. We'll also discuss Judith and Eric's similar odd jobs and their VERY different views on ghost and the afterlife! All this and more on tonight's Spooky A S Music by Occultic Overtones Listen to this episode Subscribe, rate & review on iTunes Like us on Facebook Eric Dwinnells and guest cohost Brian Toney are discussing the 1895 murders known as The Demon of the Belfry. Two young women disappear after being seen entering a church and suspicion immediately falls upon Theodore Durrant, the church's assistant superintendent of Sunday school. Why? Because he was the last person seen with both women and there were some unconfirmed rumors about how he liked to spend alone time in the church library and his unusual relationships with chicken. Spoiler alert: he totally did it. But wait! There is a sequel to this story. Durrant's sister, who had changed her name to Maud Allan in an effort to distance herself from her notorious brother, become a figure of controversy as well. She was accused of being a German spy during WWI. Also, a Brittish magazine accused her of attempting to turn the men of England gay via he performance of Oscar Wilde's Solome. We'll discuss all of this as well as an updated on Eric's injured leg. Oh, and it's the show's 2nd birthday!!! Thanks for listening and being a part of the Spooky A S family, spookaroos!

This time they watched Preview of the Antichrist! Eric and Emily were hoping to hear salacious details about what the antichrist would be like and what he would do...instead they got a video full of the most boring xenophobia ever recorded. Tonight you'll learn why these fundamentalist christians believed the world would end "within this generation", why peace and unity is actually a bad thing, how muslims will take over most of the world and why we should still be afraid of Russia.

Not only has rabies evolved to be one of the most deadly and horrifying diseases on the planet, but it's also the possible root of many mythological monsters including vampires, zombies, and werewolves! Think about it: you get bit by some creature, it's bite infects you and you become ill. You become sensitive to sunlight and become aggressive attempting to spread your curse by biting others. sounds very familiar, no? Rabies has been with us for centuries and although it is relatively unknown in the western world, it is a huge problem to this day in parts of Asia and Africa. In all recorded history, not one person had ben able to survive rabies...until 2004. Tonight you will hear the incredible true story of rabies sufferer Jeanna Giese, the girl who survived rabies. When she was found to have rabies, Dr. Rodney Willoughby created the controversial "Milwaukee Protocol". Some say it is responsible for saving Jeanna's life. Others say it an extremely dangerous procedure and should never be tried. We'll take this question and much more on tonight's Spooky A S!

Tonight host Eric Dwinnells and guest co-host Brian Toney discuss the infamous case of The Bloody Benders! Just after the Cival War, people started to notice travelers seemed to be disappearing in Osage County, Kansas. It didn't take long for suspicion to fall on the Bender family who ran a small general store and restaurant out of their cabin. Soon, the truth was discovered; the Benders had in fact been murdering their guests and burying them in their orchard...but by the time this was discovered, the Benders had disappeared. So what happened to the Benders? We'll discuss that plus: a follow up to last week's episode about Lynn Ann Smith, The Oklahoma Sooners, and who we would cast in The Bloody Benders: The Movie. spookyas.com facebook.com/spookyas Music by Occultic Overtones Listen to this episode Subscribe, rate & review us on iTunes Like us on Facebook Eric Dwinnells is back to tell you of the little known case of The Babysitter Slayer of Springfield. In 1954 in Springfield, MA, 14 year old Lynn Ann Smith was babysitting for the Goldberg family. At some point during the night, Lynn Ann was attacked in viciously murdered. The killer also murdered one of the young boy's she'd been babysitting, 4 year old Steven Goldberg, in his bed. Police sought clues and it turned out to be a simple piece of thread that led investigators to the killer: Kenneth Chapin. Police had their man and he confessed to the crime...but now the state was asking its self was Kenneth responsible for his own actions? Would they execute this 18 year old who had shown no previous criminality? Or could they find a way to show him mercy? The kind of mercy he certainly didn't offer his young victims.

Tonight, host Eric Dwinnells will tell you a classic ghost story called Smee. Written by A.M.Burrage in 1931, it's the tale of a group of friends playing a variation of Hide & Seek in a large English manor where, 10 years before, a young woman had died. The trouble is...there seems to be an extra player in their game! This makes the second year of Eric reading a ghost story at Christmas, and we certainly do hope you all have a dreadfully merry Christmas. And, if you don't celebrate, have a happy Monday!
