RAS #369 – Death Wears A Lonely Smile

What is creepy to you? On Ron’s Amazing Stories we explore a whole new grade of creepy with a tale called, Death Wears A Lonely Smile. We continue the freaky with a haunted ambulance and then a ghost boy with no eyes! Also, we have another new segment of Johnny Is It True – WWII edition, and we finish up with a trip back to August 25, 1944.

Featured Story – Death Wears A Lonely Smile

Our featured story this week comes from the horror genre. This is one creepy tale that takes you in and out of danger all from the perspective of relative safety. The tale comes to us from the spooky OTR series The Inner Sanctum. It is titled, Death Wears A Lonely Smile and first aired on CBS on April 4, 1949.

Ron’s Amazing Stories is produced and hosted by Ronald Hood:

RAS #368 – No Contact!

Have you ever wondered what really is out there? On Ron’s Amazing Stories we have a classic science fiction story from Dimension X that gives us a possible answer. Do you believe in ghosts, angels, and UFOs? You will after you hear Glados, Bianca, and Dennis’s stories. Also, Tom Williams pays tribute to his parents in what could be his last story for the podcast. All this week and more!

Featured Story – Our featured story this week comes from the radio series Dimension X. It is about what just might be out there in deep space. We are no closer to knowing today, but at least we can make better guesses than they could back then. The story is titled No Contact and it first aired on NBC on April 29, 1950.

On The Podcast – Feb 21, 2019

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this week we have a classic science fiction story for the series Dimension X. This tale is a recent find for me on the internet archives. I don’t know if I just missed it or if it was recently uploaded. It is a story about man’s attempt to break into deep space. If you think about it even though this story was written in 1950 we still know very little about what it out there. Could this story foretell what we will face? You can find out this Thursday.

Also on the show, we have three more of your stories. We have an interrupted funeral, angel visitation and good old fashioned UFO story from Roswell, New Mexico. I hope that you will join us as we find out what are Ron’s Amazing Stories!

RAS #367 – The Test Rocket

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this time we have a new segment with our own Sylvia Shults. This time she tells stories about the friendly or helpful ghost. We hear a heartwarming tale about a sister’s loss and ghostly beach visit. Also, Ron reads the science fiction classic The Test Rocket.

Featured Story – The Test Rocket

Our story for today was written by Jack Douglas. It is a “What If” tale that looks at space exploration and pitfalls it could potentially unleash. It comes from the Amazing Stories Magazine April of 1955 edition and is titled Test Rocket. It received high-honors from the writers of the time.

Program Note: Sylvia Shults is a Librarian, Author, and Ghost Hunter. She has spent a lifetime in the pursuit of the weird and the strange. Her non-fiction works include Ghost of the Illinois River, Fractured Spirits, 44 Years in Darkness, Hunting Demons and The Spirits of Christmas. All of her books are available on Amazon and you can find out more on her WordPress Home Page.

One Day Late!

Well, this blog is one day late. Why You might ask? Yesterday was just one of those days where there was just too much to do and I needed more time to do it. I actually like days that if I get everything accomplished. Unfortunately, the blog didn’t make the cut. To make matters worse I don’t even have a good topic to write about this week. So, I thought I would tell you about tomorrow’s podcast:

I think it is going to be a good one. We have a new edition of Ghost Stories With Sylvia. This time her topic is helpful or friendly ghosts. Hard to believe, but true. On These Are Your Stories, Katherine tells us about the loss of a brother and the ghost boy on the beach. We close the show with my first attempt at dramatic reading. I will share a classic science fiction tale called Test Rocket.

It’s amazing how much you can learn about absolute strangers if you just stop to think about the kind of an animal they’ll put in a test rocket… – Jack Douglas
