After a technical SNAFU ruined their previous episode about The Titanic, Eric welcomes back Tristyn Sepersky this time to discuss an urban legend with no actual name so we'll just call it Long At The Fair! Partly because apparently Eric refuses to say the word "exhibition". It's strange. Anyway.

A girl and her mother check into a hotel in France. They got their separate ways for one reason or another depending on which story you hear. When the girl returns, her mother is missing but even more concerning, when she asks for help finding he, the hotel staff insist the girl checked in alone! Are you ready to have your sense of reality questioned??? Also, Eric and Tristan sing some Chicago for you as they discuss The Mandela Effect. Ooh-ooh, no, baby please don't go!

Welcome to the first official episode of the newly-rebranded Spooky Times!!! Host Eric D will explain the rebranding at the end of the episode but first let's talk about The Gloucester Sea Serpent!

During the summer of 1817 hundreds of credible witnesses claimed to have seen something very unusual in and around Gloucester Harbor. No-one could say exactly what it was and they sometimes disagreed about what it looked like, but most described a 50 to 100 foot long sea serpent frolicking in the harbor. Some wanted to worship it, some wanted to kill it, everyone wanted to know what the hell it was!

Much of tonight's story comes from an article entitled The Myth and Mystery of The Great Gloucester Sea Serpent by Tom Halsted writing for The Gloucester Daily Times.

Tonight Eric discusses being an extra in Adam Sandler's Netflix film, Hubie Halloween!

How did Eric end up playing Macho Man Randy Savage...uh, I mean, Randy Man Macho Savage in Hubie Halloween? What was it like filming the movie and did Eric meet any of the celebrities involved?

Join Eric and Emily Ferguson as they discuss yet another Massachusetts true crime story involving a hatchet! I don't want to give too much away, so we're just going to call this chilling tale Knock Knock...and it's a two parter!

Two teenage girls swear they are getting messages from their deceased mother. Their father doesn't believe them, but the truth would lead to a series of events too horrifying to believe! This is the story of Danny LaPlante and it's not for the squeamish. Love been warned.

182 Flying Saucers and Kenneth Arnold

​

On June 24, 1947, experienced pilot Kenneth Arnold saw something strange in the sky over Washington State. He described the UFOs in various ways, but he compared their movement to saucers skipping across water. The press dubbed them "flying saucers" and a legend was born.

Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about Arnold's encounter is that numerous other people claimed to have seen them as well. But just what was everyone seeing? That's what the government wanted to know and the theories came fast and furious. Tonight, we try to separate fact from fiction on Spooky A S!
